Akela the Lone Wolf lay by the side of his rock as a sign that the leadership of the Pack was open, and Shere Khan with his following of scrap-fed wolves walked to and fro openly being flattered.
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
アキーラは リーダーのばしょに いなかった。
シア・カーンが わがものがおで あるきまわっていた。
- modifier:
- リーダーの場所に
- 我が物顔（わがものがお, acting as if one owns the place / domineering）
The Japanese expression “わがものがお” describes someone who behaves as if they own the place, showing an attitude of dominance, entitlement, or disregard for others. It is often used when a person acts overly confident, intrusive, or self-important in a shared space or situation.
Bagheera lay close to Mowgli, and the fire pot was between Mowgli’s knees.

When they were all gathered together, Shere Khan began to speak—a thing he would never have dared to do when Akela was in his prime.
シア・カーンが はなしはじめた。

- 話し始める
“He has no right,” whispered Bagheera. “Say so. He is a dog’s son. He will be frightened.”

Mowgli sprang to his feet. “Free People,” he cried, “does Shere Khan lead the Pack? What has a tiger to do with our leadership?”
「トラが オオカミのむれに なんのかんけいがある？」
- predicate:
- 何の関係がある？
“Seeing that the leadership is yet open, and being asked to speak—” Shere Khan began.
「リーダーが くうせきで、はなすよう もとめられた」
“By whom?” said Mowgli. “Are we all jackals, to fawn on this cattle butcher? The leadership of the Pack is with the Pack alone.”
「リーダーのちいは このむれのものだ」
There were yells of “Silence, thou man’s cub!”
「だまれ、おまえは にんげんのこどもだ！」
“Let him speak. He has kept our Law”
「かれに はなしをさせろ」
; and at last the seniors of the Pack thundered: “Let the Dead Wolf speak.”
「デッドウルフに はなしをさせろ」
When a leader of the Pack has missed his kill, he is called the Dead Wolf as long as he lives, which is not long.
むれのリーダーが かりを しっぱいしたとき、
リーダーは デッドウルフと よばれる。
Akela raised his old head wearily:—
“Free People, and ye too, jackals of Shere Khan, for twelve seasons I have led ye to and from the kill, and in all that time not one has been trapped or maimed.
「わたしは おまえたちを ぶじに みちびいてきた」

Now I have missed my kill.
「わたしは かりを しっぱいした」
Ye know how that plot was made. Ye know how ye brought me up to an untried buck to make my weakness known.

It was cleverly done.
「それは こうみょうな けいかくだった」
- modifier:

Your right is to kill me here on the Council Rock, now. Therefore, I ask, who comes to make an end of the Lone Wolf? For it is my right, by the Law of the Jungle, that ye come one by one.”
「だれが ローンウルフを ころすのだ？」
There was a long hush, for no single wolf cared to fight Akela to the death.
だれも アキーラと しぬまで たたかいたくなかった。
- predicate:
- 戦いたくない
Then Shere Khan roared: “Bah! What have we to do with this toothless fool? He is doomed to die!
「アキーラは しぬ うんめいだ！」
- predicate:
- 死ぬ運命だ
It is the man-cub who has lived too long.
「それは にんげんの こどもだ」
Free People, he was my meat from the first. Give him to me.
「かれを わたしに わたせ」
- predicate:
- 渡す
I am weary of this man-wolf folly. He has troubled the jungle for ten seasons.
「かれは ジャングルを くるしめている」
- predicate:
- 苦しめる
Give me the man-cub, or I will hunt here always, and not give you one bone. He is a man, a man’s child, and from the marrow of my bones I hate him!”
「わたしは かれが きらいだ！」
- predicate:
- 嫌う
