主人公の部屋の様子とジェイミーの楽器
- 主人公の部屋はシンプルで、壁は淡い色、天井は白、窓の周りはダークウッドです。ただし、眺めは最高です。隣の家の列と谷を見渡すことができます。
- ジェイミーの部屋は主人公の部屋よりも広く、本や雑誌、コミックス、寝具、梱包ケース、空の箱、未開封の箱、ポスターなどでいっぱいです。窓の近くには三脚に乗った小さな赤い望遠鏡があり、それには壁に大きなカードが丁寧に貼られています。カードには何かの地図かもしれないが、散乱した小さな点や大きな点や数字や言葉がまったく意味をなしていません。
- 本棚の一つには、使い古された赤いベルベットで裏打ちされた小さな黒いケースがあります。ジェイミーはそこに自分のクラリネットを保管しています。学校が始まると、彼の両親は彼に新しい先生を見つけて、彼は新しい曲を学んで私にも演奏する予定です。

Apart from these things, my room is quite bare: the walls are pale, the ceiling white, the surround of the window dark wood. The best thing is the view: right along the row of our neighbours’ houses and up the valley.（前回の終わりの部分です） Jamie’s room is much larger. Although there is more space, it all seems to be filled: with books and magazines and comics, with bedclothes, with packing cases and boxes both empty and half-full and unopened, with posters – rolled up and piled untidily in a corner. Near the window is a little red telescope on a tripod, pointing out, and by it on the wall is pinned, carefully, a large piece of card which looks as if it might be a map of something, though the scattered mass of little dots and larger dots and numbers and words makes no sense to me at all. On one of the bookshelves is a small black case, lined with worn red velvet, in which Jamie keeps his clarinet. He’s played it to me several times. Once school starts, his parents are going to find him a new teacher here, and he’ll learn new pieces, and play those to me as well. ****************************************** 主人公のAlexはartistで、展示会に備えるために、幼い頃過ごしたイタリアに戻ってきています。この英文は幼い頃の回想シーンです。 Near the window is a little red telescope on a tripod, pointing outのpointing outとはどういう意味ですか？～を指摘する、ですか？ by it on the wall is pinned～の主語は何になるのでしょうか？ itの前にbyがついていてよくわからなくなってしまいました。 Once school starts, his parents are going to find him a new teacher here, and he’ll learn new pieces, and play those to me as well. のOnceは、一旦～すれば、の意味ですか？ 教えてください。お願いします。

質問者が選んだベストアンサー
Near the window is a little red telescope on a tripod, pointing outのpointing outとはどういう意味ですか？～を指摘する、ですか？ ⇒ 「窓の近くには小さな赤い望遠鏡があって三脚の上に乗って、外を向いている。」 つまり、pointing outは、望遠鏡が外を指していると言う意味。 ここの文型は、倒置になっていて、もとはA little red telescope on a tripod is near the window, pointing out ですが、こう言う倒置って状況を描写するのによく使われ、日本語的な感覚でもあたまから順番にイメージしていけば良いのでそう考えると理解しやすいです。まず窓を思い浮かべて、その近くに小さな、赤い望遠鏡。それが三脚の上に乗ってる。で窓から外に向いている。 by it on the wall is pinned～の主語は何になるのでしょうか？ itの前にbyがついていてよくわからなくなってしまいました。 ⇒ これも前からの描写の続きですが、by itは「その望遠鏡の傍らに」。その後がまた倒置になっています。on the wall is pinned, carefully, a large piece of card は、A large piece of card is pinned, carefully, on the wall. つまり、主語はA large piece of card。この場合は、このカードの説明がその後長いので倒置していると思いますが、最初から順番に、まず窓に目をやると望遠鏡があって三脚にのっててその横に何かが丁寧にピン留めされていて何か見るとそれが一枚のカードでそれをよく見ると小さな点や大きな点それに数字が書いてあって... みたいに、自分の視線を文に従って移していくと、段々とそこに何があるか見えてくるので、臨場感が感じられる書き方です。そうやって楽しみながら読むと良いですよ。 Once school starts, his parents are going to find him a new teacher here, and he’ll learn new pieces, and play those to me as well. のOnceは、一旦～すれば、の意味ですか？ ⇒ そうです。ひとたび~すれば、みたいな意味。でも野暮ったいので訳にいれなくて良いと思います。「（ひとたび）学校が始まったら、彼の親はここで新しい先生を見つけて、彼は新しい曲を習って、そしてまた僕に聞かせてくれる」

１。Near the window is a little red telescope on a tripod, pointing outのpointing outとはどういう意味ですか？～を指摘する、ですか？ 望遠鏡は「外へ」「屋外へ」「窓に外に」向いているわけです。 ２。by it on the wall is pinned～の主語は何になるのでしょうか？ itの前にbyがついていてよくわからなくなってしまいました。 a large piece of card です。 ３。Once school starts, his parents are going to find him a new teacher here, and he’ll learn new pieces, and play those to me as well. のOnceは、一旦～すれば、の意味ですか？ はいそうです、ここでは「学校が一旦始まると、彼の昇進はここで（＝この街で）新しい（クラリネットの）先生を探し、彼は新しい曲を習い、僕にも聞かせてくれることになっていてた」

とてもわかりやすく回答してくださってありがとうございました！ pointing outは望遠鏡が外に向いているということなのですね。なるほどです。 by it on the wall is pinned～の主語はa large piece of cardなのですね。 ここは主語が後ろに来ているのですね。 Once school starts～のところ、訳していただいてありがとうございました。

Once I see one with two tails, lighter than the rest of its body; it lives somewhere near where the wall adjoins Signora Cassi’s house, and I wonder if it has been caught in the kitchen by Lucia.（前回の終わりの部分です） I go along to the end of the wall, and laboriously find footholds and handholds to help me clamber up. I peer over the top, and for a moment I don’t see him, he is standing so still. The garden here is, again, larger than ours, and sunnier as well. There aren’t so many trees, and some angle of the valley side seems to have positioned the lawn so that it catches the evening sun straight-on. The doors and windows of the house, all around the ground floor, are open, and I can hear voices – a man and a woman – inside. There are some of the boxes that came from the van, standing on the edge of the grass, waiting to be taken in. I let my attention wander around the garden, and it is now that I see him: in the shade of a tall purple bush in the border, standing with his hands in his pockets, looking upwards towards where the valley crest reaches the skyline. For a second I think he is looking right at me, but then I see the faraway expression on his face, and know he hasn’t seen me. We stay like that for some time more, he staring at the horizon, I staring at him, like children frozen in a fairytale. Then my foot slips a little, and the sound reaches him, and he shivers and sees me. He looks at once wary, but almost as quickly the wariness vanishes and is replaced by curiosity. He glances towards the house, once, then runs across the garden until he’s standing below me. ****************************************** 主人公のAlexはartistで、展示会に備えるために、幼い頃過ごしたイタリアに戻ってきています。（この英文は子供時代の回想シーンだと思われます） There are some of the boxes that came from the van, standing on the edge of the grass, waiting to be taken in.のbe taken inは、家の中に持ち込まれる、という意味ですか？ Then my foot slips a little, and the sound reaches him, and he shivers and sees me.の中でhe shivers and sees me.とありますが、彼が震えたのは（he shivers）、我に返った、みたいな感じですか？ He looks at once wary, but almost as quickly the wariness vanishes and is replaced by curiosity.の中のas quicklyのところは、as quickly as の意味ですか？できるだけ早く？ 教えてください。お願いします。

On the floor beside me are my things: a case with clothes, another with sketch pads and boards, inks, pens and pencils, charcoal, Conté, tubes of acrylic and watercolour and oils, brushes, linseed oil and turpentine and white spirit, rags and nibs and craft knives. More than I’ll need, I am sure, but I find it difficult to decide what not to take: some part of me hates the decision, and I always end up carrying too much.(前回の終りの部分です） On the other bed are Anna’s bags and cases. I glance at them, and the way the sun is falling across them from the open window makes me think for a moment that they would be good to draw – even if only a quick thumbnail sketch. But I am too lazy and tired. I let my eyes go back to the plaster of the wall, which is traced with patterns of age like maps. The room is very tall and light, with a high doorway and high, shuttered windows, the shutters now hooked back to let in the afternoon. There is a second door through to the bathroom, and from this comes the sound of water hissing on tiles, sometimes constant, sometimes shifting its pitch. I realize after listening for a while that the changes must be Anna moving about under the flow, blocking it more and less from moment to moment with her body. ****************************************** 主人公のAlexはartistで、展示会に備えるために、幼い頃過ごしたイタリアに戻ってきています。AnnaはAlexの幼なじみです。 I let my eyes go back to the plaster of the wall, which is traced with patterns of age like maps. のwhich is traced with patterns of age like maps.の意味がよくわかりません。地図のような年代のパターンでトレースされた、ですか？どんな感じなのでしょうか？ The room is very tall and light, with a high doorway and high, shuttered windows, the shutters now hooked back to let in the afternoon. のthe shutters now hooked back to let in the afternoon.の意味がわかりません。シャッターは今後ろに引っ掛けられています?to let in the afternoon??

Jamie is nowhere to be seen. After a few minutes of walking back and forth, I settle down to wait, finding a comfortable place to sit and raking together a pile of pebbles to throw at the larger rocks. It is warm and I feel lazy and happy.（前回の終わりの部分です） Lena and I go for a walk up the valley. Sometimes we do this, though not often; more usually our walks take us down, to the shops and the central square and the piglets and the drinking-fountain. I like the drinking-fountain a lot. The bronze lion’s head, with its snarlingly open mouth and constant stream of bright water, entrances me. Even when we are sitting at Toni’s waiting for ice-creams and Cokes, I keep my eye on it. This afternoon, though, we go further along the road, and then, once we are quite far from the town, down a side-track that Lena says once led to one of the outlying farms. Lena is telling me stories, too – some of which I’ve heard before and know almost by heart – and keeping her eyes open for wild herbs growing by the track: sage, sorrel and thyme, to pick and use in the kitchen. A bunch of wild myrtle hung at the window will keep the flies away. I go happily along with her, sometimes running ahead and waiting for her to catch me up, sometimes carrying her basket for her. ****************************************** 主人公のAlexはartistで、展示会に備えるために、幼い頃過ごしたイタリアに戻ってきています。この英文は現在からまた過去のシーンに戻っているように思われます。 Sometimes we do this, though not often; more usually our walks take us down, to the shops and the central square and the piglets and the drinking-fountain.の中に、the pigletsとあるのですが、子豚、という意味ですか？ the central squareは中央広場、the drinking-fountainは噴水式水飲み器だと思うのですが、そこにthe pigletsが出てくるのがわかりません。 This afternoon, though, we go further along the road, and then, once we are quite far from the town, down a side-track that Lena says once led to one of the outlying farms. の中に出てくるonceは、once we are quite far from the town,は”一度”、Lena says once led to one of the outlying farms.は”かつて”の意味ですか？ down a side-track that Lena says once led to one of the outlying farms.についてですが、ledの主語はa side-trackですか？Lenaが言うかつて遠くの農場の一つに導いた側線を下り？（a side-trackとは鉄道に関する線のことですか？） 教えてください。お願いします。

Chapter Four In bare feet I light some of the candles I have placed around the room, and the cheerful light they cast drives away some of the shadows that have been tugging at me. I don’t feel ready to sleep yet. I want to think of something to push the uneasy memory of these fragments away, to give me something else to concentrate on as I lie in bed. Some part of me is aware that the old childhood fear could so easily come back to life now; the fear that I will wake, in a moment, to find myself old and dying, my life already spent. I can’t face that again. So I take one of the candles and wander the house with it, eventually finding my way upstairs. Once I am in my old bedroom, it seems the most obvious thing in the world to open the window there, and to sit on the sill, looking up the valley at night. （前回の終わりの部分です） I know this view to the last detail. The darkness obscures many of the small changes that are doubtless there, and would be clamouring their presence to me were it daylight. Now, though, I am only conscious that the branches of the tree that cut off the left-hand part of the horizon are longer by some small amount, and that the sound of the World Service radio is missing from downstairs. Above, the stars are unchanged; I look for Orion, and find him almost at once, a small smile of acknowledgement twitching the corner of my mouth. There are a few clouds low on the line of hills, but leaning out of the window I can see that the sky overhead is clear. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ 主人公のAlexはartistで、幼い頃過ごしたイタリアに帰ってきています。 The darkness obscures many of the small changes that are doubtless there, and would be clamouring their presence to me were it daylight.の、would be clamouring their presence to me were it daylightがよくわかりません。 英文の構造はどうなっているのでしょうか？ wereが動詞、itは？？ Now, though, I am only conscious that the branches of the tree that cut off the left-hand part of the horizon are longer by some small amount,について、ここは木の枝がどうなっている状態なのでしょうか？ I look for Orion, and find him almost at once, a small smile of acknowledgement twitching the corner of my mouth.ここの a small smile of acknowledgement～の意味するところは、オリオン座を見つけたのでちょっと微笑んだ、という感じなのでしょうか？ 教えてください。お願いします。

and how finally it became so accepted that now there are younger artists who make their own fusions from it, and find in it new barriers to be broken down. Sometimes it makes me laugh, and sometimes it makes me angry. Right now, I find I hardly care: they all seem so very far away.(前回の終わりの部分です） I try to arrange them vaguely as they will be in the gallery. It’s to be a chronology, from my earliest work through to the present day. A retrospective. I deal out the photographs like a fortune-teller arranging the cards, spreading them out on the boards, first to last in a wide arc. Gradually the sense of them starts to become apparent: the shifts of style and focus that have happened over the years. I sit in their centre, staring, puzzling, trying to see what it is that feels so wrong – so incomplete – about them. There must be something. It’s strong enough to have made it impossible for me to stay any longer in London; and yet at the same time it’s so slight that I can’t get hold of it, can’t lay my hand on it.
