夏目漱石 『道草』を英訳しました。
6Kenzo got his stomack upset maybe because he uses his brain too much recently. He recalled to exercise time to time and exercised, but his chest and belly just got heavier. He was very careful not to put anything in his mouth except for three regular meals a day. Still, I couldn't beat my sister's bad coercion.
"Sushi roll won't affect your health."
"Your sister took it with much trouble with the intention of treating Ken-Chan, so please eat it. You don't like it?"
Kenzo had no choice but to stuff his mouth with sushi rolls and mumble his mouth that had been badly damaged by cigarettes.
He couldn't say what he wanted to say forever because his sister talked so much. He gradually become impatient to only have passive conversations like this while he had a question he wanted to ask. But his sister didn't seem to understand it at all.
As well as she likes to feed people, she also likes to give things to the others. And she asked Kenzo to give him the old hanging scroll of a daruma that Kenzo praised last time. There's nothing I can do about it, so you take it. Hida won't need such a dirty daruma either."
Kenzo was just smiling wryly without saying whether he take it or not. Then my sister suddenly lowered her tone of voice as if she is going to make a secret conversation.
"Actually, Ken-Chan, I kept quiet until today thinking of telling you if you come back. Ken-Chan may be busy just after returning home, and even if your sister decided to visit you, it's a little hard to talk with if Ms. Osumi is there. And yet, even if I want to write a letter, I don't know how to read and write as you know."
His sister's introductory remark was long and comical. Kenzo felt sorry and also felt embarrased for his sister, that no matter how much she was made to learn when she was little, she had bad memory and she couldn't memorise even the easiest character and lived up to now and she is 50 years old.
"Then what on earth do you wanted to talk about my sister. Actually I also came to visit you today having something to talk to."
"That's right, then I should have listen to you first. Why did you not talk early?" "Because I couldn't"
"You don't have to hesitate. We are siblings. My Lord."
My sister was unaware of the obvious fact that her talkativeness was blocking the other person's talk.
"Well, let's handle your topic first. What is the thing that you wanted to talk about?"
Actually, I'm really sorry for Ken-Chan, and I'm sorry to say that, but I get older, and my body gets weaker, and my husband is like that if he himself is okay he don't care about his wife. -- Monthly salary is less and we also have acquaintances, if you say it can't be helped, that's the end of it......"
"What my sister said was pretty indirect because she is a woman. It wa not easy to reach to her real intention, but Kenzo could understand it's principal meaning very well. In other words, he thought that he should increase the monthly allowance a little more. He felt both pity and annoyed at this claim, as he heard that her husband often borrowed it from his wife even now."Please help your sister. I won't live long with this body anyway."
This was the last word that came out of my sister's mouth. Kenzo couldn't refuse it.
