ページ６

But soon, his mother unsteadily came out of the curragated-iron shanty beside them.
She looked like a ghost. She only had her white underwear on her skinny body.
Her appearance made them terrified.
間もなく横のトタン葺きの小屋から、幽霊のように痩せ細った西村さんのお母さんが、白い湯文字一貫のまま、ヒョロヒョロと出て来た姿を見ると、みんな震え上がってしまった．

Her body looked like a pale string. Her hair was untidy.
She opened her eyes wide and was grinding her teeth.
She looked as if she was a female demon.
青白い糸のような身体に、髪の毛をバラバラと振り乱して、眼の玉を真白に剥き出して、歯をギリギリと噛んで、まるで般若のようにスゴイ顔つきであったが・・・

Private Westmoreland hastily tried to catch hold of his mother.
・・・慌てて抱き止めようとする西村さんを・・・

But, his mother pushed over him.
・・・突き飛ばすと・・・

The stylish lady stopped dancing and just stood there.
His mother unsteadly walked to the stylish lady.
She leaned against the stylish lady.
And, she clung to the stylish lady.

・・・踊りを止めてボンヤリ突立っているハイカラ美人に、ヨロヨロとよろめきかかった．

そのままシッカリと抱き付いて・・・

His mother rolled her eyes and opened her mouth wide.
She tried to bite the stylish lady.
・・・眼の玉をぎょろぎょろさせながら、口を耳までアーンと開いて喰い付こうとした．

Private Westmoreland pulled them apart.
それを西村さんが一生懸命に引き離して・・・

He led the stylish lady by the hand.
And they got in the car.
・・・ハイカラさんの手を取りながら自動車に乗って・・・

They fled hastily.
・・・ドンドン逃げて行った．
