第十一章: 誰がタルトを盗んだのか?

 The King and Queen of Hearts were seated on their throne when they arrived, with a great crowd assembled about them—all sorts of little birds and beasts, as well as the whole pack of cards: the Knave was standing before them, in chains, with a soldier on each side to guard him;

and near the King was the White Rabbit, with a trumpet in one hand, and a scroll of parchment in the other.

parchment (羊皮紙) [名] a writing material made from specially prepared untanned skins of animals
scroll (巻物) [名] a roll of parchment or paper for writing on
そして王の近くには白ウサギがいて、片手にトランペット、もう片方の手に羊皮紙の巻物を持っていた。
In the very middle of the court was a table, with a large dish of tarts upon it: they looked so good, that it made Alice quite hungry to look at them—“I wish they’d get the trial done,” she thought, “and hand round the refreshments!”
in the very middle of (真ん中に) [前] in the exact middle of

法廷の真ん中にテーブルがあり、その上に大きなタルトの皿があった。とてもおいしそうに見えたので、アリスはそれを見てとてもお腹が空いてきた。「裁判が終わって、お菓子を配ってくれたらいいのに」と思った。
But there seemed to be no chance of this, so she began looking at everything about her, to pass away the time.
there seemed to be (なさそうだった) [動] appear to exist or be present
chance (見込み) [名] a possibility or probability
so (それで) [接] therefore
began (始めた) [動] start to do something
pass away (つぶす) [動] die
しかし、その見込みはなさそうだったので、彼女は時間をつぶすために、周りのあらゆるものを見始めた。

 Alice had never been in a court of justice before, but she had read about them in books, and she was quite pleased to find that she knew the name of nearly everything there.
be in (行ったことがある) [動] be present in
court of justice (法廷) [名] a court of law
read about (読んだことがある) [動] read something about
アリスはこれまで法廷に行ったことはなかったが、本で読んだことはあり、そこにあるほとんどすべての名前を知っていることを知ってとても喜んだ。
“That’s the judge,” she said to herself, “because of his great wig.”
wig (かつら) [名] a covering of false hair worn on the head
「あれが裁判官だ」と彼女は独り言を言った。「大きなかつらを被っているからだ」

 The judge, by the way, was the King;
by the way (ちなみに) [副] incidentally
ちなみに、裁判官は王様だった。
and as he wore his crown over the wig, (look at the frontispiece if you want to see how he did it,)
wear (かぶる) [動] have on one's person
crown (王冠) [名] a circular ornamental headdress worn by a monarch
frontispiece (口絵) [名] an illustration facing the title page of a book
そして、彼はかつらの上に王冠をかぶっていたので(彼がどのようにそれをしたか見たい場合は口絵を見てください)、
he did not look at all comfortable, and it was certainly not becoming.
comfortable (落ち着いている) [形] at ease; relaxed
become (似合う) [動] to be suitable or appropriate for
彼は全く落ち着いていないように見えたし、確かに似合っていなかった。

 “And that’s the jury-box,” thought Alice, “and those twelve creatures,” (she was obliged to say “creatures,” you see, because some of them were animals, and some were birds,) “I suppose they are the jurors.”
jury-box (陪審員席) [名] the place where the jury sits in a courtroom
juror (陪審員) [名] a member of a jury
「そしてあれが陪審員席」とアリスは思った。「そしてあの十二の生き物たち(彼女は「生き物たち」と言わざるを得なかった。なぜなら、そのうちのいくつかは動物で、いくつかは鳥だったからだ)が陪審員なのだろう」
She said this last word two or three times over to herself, being rather proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little girls of her age knew the meaning of it at all.
word (単語) [名] a unit of language that native speakers can identify
two or three (二、三) [形] a small number of
time (回) [名] an instance of an action or event

rightly (正しく) [副] in a just, good, or proper manner
too (また) [副] in addition; also; as well
彼女はこの最後の単語を二、三回自分に向かって繰り返し、かなり誇らしく思った。なぜなら、彼女は、自分の年頃の女の子でその意味を知っている子はほとんどいないと思ったからだ。
However, “jury-men” would have done just as well.
jury-man (陪審員) [名] a member of a jury
would have done (よかっただろう) [助] would have been good
しかし、「陪審員」でもよかっただろう。

 The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates.
slate (石板) [名] a piece of slate used for writing on
十二人の陪審員は皆、石板にせわしなく書き込んでいた。
“What are they doing?” Alice whispered to the Gryphon.
「彼らは何をしているの?」とアリスはグリフォンにささやいた。
“They can’t have anything to put down yet, before the trial’s begun.”
put down (書き留める) [動] write down
「裁判が始まる前に、まだ書き留めるものなんてないはずなのに。」

 “They’re putting down their names,” the Gryphon whispered in reply, “for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial.”
fear (恐れる) [動] be afraid of
end (終わり) [名] the final part of something
「彼らは自分の氏名を書き留めているんだ」とグリフォンはささやき返した。「裁判が終わるまでに忘れてしまうことを恐れているんだ。」

and the King put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who was talking.
put on (かける) [動] to place on one's body
そして王様は眼鏡をかけ、誰が話しているのか確かめようと心配そうにあたりを見回した。

 Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down “stupid things!” on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell “stupid,” and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him.
spell (つづり) [名] the letters that form a word in a particular order
neighbour (隣の人) [名] a person who lives next door or near you
アリスは、陪審員全員が石板に「馬鹿げたこと!」と書き留めているのを、まるで肩越しに見ているかのように見ることができ、そのうちの一人が「馬鹿げた」のつづりがわからないので、隣の人に尋ねているのまでわかった。
“A nice muddle their slates’ll be in before the trial’s over!” thought Alice.
muddle (ぐちゃぐちゃ) [名] a state of confusion or disorder
「裁判が終わるまでに、彼らの石板はすっかりぐちゃぐちゃになるよ!」とアリスは思った。

 One of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked.

squeak (キーキー鳴る) [動] make a short, high-pitched sound or cry
陪審員の一人は、キーキー鳴る鉛筆を持っていた。
This of course, Alice could not stand, and she went round the court and got behind him, and very soon found an opportunity of taking it away.
アリスはもちろんこれには耐えられず、法廷を回って彼の後ろに回り、すぐにそれを奪う機会を見つけた。
She did it so quickly that the poor little juror (it was Bill, the Lizard) could not make out at all what had become of it;
quickly (素早く) [副] at a fast pace
彼女はそれをとても素早くしたので、かわいそうな陪審員(トカゲのビルだった)は、それがどうなったのか全く理解できなかった。
so, after hunting all about for it, he was obliged to write with one finger for the rest of the day;
hunt (探し回る) [動] search for something
all about (あちこち) [副] in all directions
for the rest of the day (その日の残りの時間) [名] the remaining time of the day
だから、あちこち探し回った後、彼はその日の残りの時間、一本指で書かざるを得なかった。
and this was of very little use, as it left no mark on the slate.
be of use (役に立つ) [動] be useful or helpful
leave no mark (跡が残らない) [動] not leave a mark

blow (吹き鳴らす) [動] produce a sound by forcing air from the mouth
unroll (広げる) [動] open or spread out (something rolled up)

 “Consider your verdict,” the King said to the jury.

「評決を検討せよ」と王様が陪審員に言った。

 “Not yet, not yet!” the Rabbit hastily interrupted.
not yet (まだだ) [副] not at the present time; not now

“There’s a great deal to come before that!”

「その前に、まだまだたくさんあるんだ!」

 “Call the first witness,” said the King;

「最初の証人を呼べ」と王様が言った。
and the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and called out, “First witness!”
すると白ウサギがトランペットを三回吹き鳴らし、「最初の証人!」と呼びかけた。

 The first witness was the Hatter.

bring in (持ち込む) [動] take or carry something inside
「陛下、申し訳ありません」と彼は始めた。「これを持ち込んでしまって。でも、呼ばれた時、お茶を飲み終わっていなかったんです。」

 “You ought to have finished,” said the King.
「飲み終わっておくべきだった」と王様は言った。
“When did you begin?”
「いつ飲み始めたんだ?」

 The Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse.
arm-in-arm (腕を組んで) [副] with arms linked together

 “Sixteenth,” added the Dormouse.
sixteenth (十六日) [名] the sixteenth day of the month

「帽子を脱げ」と王が帽子屋に言った。

“and don’t be nervous, or I’ll have you executed on the spot.”

「そして、緊張するな、さもないとその場で処刑させるぞ。」

 Just at this moment Alice felt a very curious sensation, which puzzled her a good deal until she made out what it was:

「仕方がないのよ」とアリスは非常におとなしく言った。「私は大きくなっているの」

boldly (大胆に) [副] in a confident and courageous way

そして、彼は非常に不機嫌そうに立ち上がり、法廷の反対側に渡った。

on which the wretched Hatter trembled so, that he shook both his shoes off.
wretched (哀れな) [形] extremely unhappy or unfortunate
すると、哀れな帽子屋は震え上がり、両方の靴を脱ぎ捨てた。

 “Give your evidence,” the King repeated angrily, “or I’ll have you executed, whether you’re nervous or not.”
「証言しなさい」と王は怒って繰り返した。「さもなければ、緊張していようがいまいが、処刑するぞ」

 “I didn’t!” the March Hare interrupted in a great hurry.

「私は言ってない!」三月ウサギは大急ぎでさえぎった。

 “You did!” said the Hatter.

「否定する!」と三月ウサギは言った。

 “He denies it,” said the King: “leave out that part.”
leave out (省く) [動] not include or mention
「彼は否定した」と王様は言った、「その部分は省いてくれ」

 “Well, at any rate, the Dormouse said—” the Hatter went on, looking anxiously round to see if he would deny it too: but the Dormouse denied nothing, being fast asleep.
「まあ、いずれにせよ、ネズミが言ったんだ」帽子屋は続け、彼も否定するかどうか心配そうに見回したが、ネズミはぐっすり眠っていて何も否定しなかった。

 “After that,” continued the Hatter, “I cut some more bread-and-butter—”
after that (その後) [副] after that time
「その後」帽子屋は続けた、「私はもう少しバター付きパンを切った」

 The next witness was the Duchess’s cook.

must (せねばならぬ) [助] be obliged to; have to
「そうか、そうせねばならぬのなら、そうせねばならぬ」と王様は憂鬱そうに言い、腕を組み、目がほとんど見えなくなるまで料理人を睨みつけた後、低い声で「タルトは何でできているか?」と言った。

 “Pepper, mostly,” said the cook.
