第16章　第１段落　（第301話）

問題編

So you understand the roaring wave of fear that swept through the greatest city in the world just as Monday was dawning—the stream of flight rising swiftly to a torrent, lashing* in a foaming* tumult round the railway stations, banked* up into a horrible struggle about the shipping in the Thames, and hurrying by every available channel northward and eastward. By ten o’clock the police organisation, and by midday even the railway organisations, were losing coherency*, losing shape and efficiency, guttering*, softening, running at last in that swift liquefaction* of the social body.

lash激しく降り注ぐ　foam泡を立てる　bank積み重なる　coherency一貫性、統率　gutter今にも灯が消えそうになる　liquefaction液化　

1.　青アンダーラインのthe stream of flightとは？
2.　紫のandが繋いでいるものは？
3.　茶色のbyの意味は？

解答編

So you understand the roaring wave of fear 〔that swept (through the greatest city in the world)〕 【just as Monday was dawning】—the stream of flight rising swiftly to a torrent, lashing (in a foaming* tumult round the railway stations), banked* up (into a horrible struggle about the shipping in the Thames), and hurrying (by every available channel northward and eastward). (By ten o’clock) the police organisation, and (by midday) even the railway organisations, were losing coherency*, (losing shape and efficiency), (guttering*), (softening), (running (at last) in that swift liquefaction* of the social body).

1.　青アンダーラインのthe stream of flightは、人々が集団で逃げている様子を川の流れに例えているわけです。
2.　紫のandが繋いでいるものは、rising, lashing, banked, hurryingの分詞で、the stream of flightを説明しています。
3.　茶色のbyの意味は、「～を経由して」あたり。

全訳

ということで、ちょうど月曜日の夜明けごろ、どのように世界一の都市が恐怖の波に襲われたかは理解してくれたと思う。大急ぎで避難する人々の波はすぐに激流と化し、泡を立てる波のように駅の周りに襲い掛かり、恐ろしい戦場になるくらいテムズ川の渡し舟に押し寄せ、北と東に延びるあらゆる水路を走って行った。午前10時には警察組織が、12時には鉄道組織までもが統率を失い、機構と能率はなくなり、溶け、ゆがみ、あっという間に社会全体が液体になっていった。

第16章　第２段落　（第302話）

問題編

All the railway lines north of the Thames and the South-Eastern people at Cannon Street had been warned by midnight on Sunday, and trains were being filled. People were fighting savagely for standing-room in the carriages even at two o’clock. By three, people were being trampled* and crushed even in Bishopsgate Street, a couple of hundred yards or more from Liverpool Street station; revolvers were fired, people stabbed*, and the policemen who had been sent to direct the traffic, exhausted and infuriated*, were breaking the heads of the people they were called out* to protect.

trample踏みつける　stab刺す　infuriate激怒させる　call out呼び出す

青アンダーラインの訳は？

解答編

All the railway lines 〈north of the Thames〉 and the South-Eastern people (at Cannon Street) had been warned (by midnight on Sunday), and trains were being filled. People were fighting (savagely) for standing-room in the carriages (even at two o’clock). (By three), people were being trampled and crushed (even in Bishopsgate Street, (a couple of hundred yards or more from Liverpool Street station)); revolvers were fired, people stabbed*, and the policemen 〔who had been sent (to direct the traffic)〕, 《exhausted and infuriated*》, were breaking the heads of the people 〔they were called out* (to protect)〕.

青アンダーラインは、「the people they(=policemen) were called out to protect」がややこしいですかね。「(someone) call out the policemen to protect the people」なので、「人々を守るために警官を呼び出す」が関係詞になっているわけです。

全訳

テムズ川の北の全鉄道路線と、サウス・イースタン鉄道のキャノン・ストリート駅周辺の住民については、日曜の深夜には警報が出ており、列車はぎゅうぎゅう詰めだった。人々は深夜2時にもかかわらず、立ってでもいいから列車に乗り込もうと乱暴に争っていた。3時には、リバプール・ストリート駅から数百ヤード強はなれたビショップス・ゲート駅でも、踏みつけられたり押しつぶされていた。発砲事件、刃傷事件も起きた。交通整理のために派遣された警官らは、へとへとになりストレスが溜まって、任務として守るはずの人々の頭を殴っていた。

第16章　第３段落　（第303話）

問題編

And as the day advanced and the engine* drivers and stokers* refused to return to London, the pressure of the flight drove the people in an ever-thickening multitude away from the stations and along the northward-running roads. By midday a Martian had been seen at Barnes, and a cloud of slowly sinking black vapour drove along the Thames and across the flats of Lambeth, cutting off all escape over the bridges in its sluggish advance. Another bank drove over Ealing, and surrounded a little island of survivors on Castle Hill, alive, but unable to escape.

engine機関車　stoker機関車の機関員（火夫）　

1.　オレンジのandが繋いでいるものは？また、それらが修飾している語は？
2.　紫のbankは何を指している？
3.　青の部分の訳は？

解答編

And 【as the day advanced and the engine* drivers and stokers* refused to return (to London)】, the pressure of the flight drove the people (in an ever-thickening multitude) (away from the stations) and (along the northward-running roads). (By midday) a Martian had been seen (at Barnes), and a cloud of slowly sinking black vapour drove (along the Thames) and (across the flats of Lambeth), (cutting off all escape over the bridges (in its sluggish advance)). Another bank drove over Ealing, and surrounded a little island of survivors on Castle Hill, alive, but unable to escape.

1.　オレンジのandが繋いでいるものは、away from…とalong…。これらは、drove the people…away from…and along…と繋がるのかな。
2.　紫のbankは「土手」じゃないですね。土手は「surround」しません。「積み重なったもの」ということで、黒い毒ガスのことでしょう。
3.　青の部分は、survivors=alive, but unable to escape　という変な構造になってます。

全訳

そして、太陽が高く昇り、蒸気船の操舵手と機関員がロンドンに戻ることを拒んだころには、逃げ出さねばならないという緊張感は今までにないほどの規模でロンドンの人々を突き動かし、駅から逃げて北に延びる道へと向かわせていた。昼12時ごろには、火星人がバーンズで見られた。ゆっくりと沈みゆく黒いガスはテムズ川に沿って、ランベスの平地へとのび、のろのろと進みながら橋の上の景色を隠していった。イーリングの方でもガスが見られ、生存者が逃げ込んだキャッスル・ヒルを小さな小島のように囲んでいた。彼らは死にはしなかったが、脱出もできなかった。

第16章　第４段落　（第304話）

問題編

After a fruitless struggle to get aboard a North-Western train at Chalk Farm—the engines of the trains that had loaded in the goods yard* there ploughed through shrieking people, and a dozen stalwart* men fought to keep the crowd from crushing the driver against his furnace*—my brother emerged upon the Chalk Farm road, dodged across through a hurrying swarm of vehicles, and had the luck to be foremost in the sack of* a cycle shop. The front tire of the machine he got was punctured in dragging it through the window, but he got up and off, notwithstanding*, with no further injury than a cut wrist*. The steep foot of Haverstock Hill was impassable owing to several overturned horses, and my brother struck into Belsize Road.

goods yard：列車に貨物を載せたり下ろしたりする場所　plough=plow苦労して進む・突進する　stalwartたくましい　furnace炉　the sack of～の略奪　notwithstanding～にもかかわらず　wrist手首（cf. リストカット）

全訳

弟はチョーク・ファーム駅でノース・ウェスタン鉄道に乗ろうとした。駅では、積み降ろし場で荷物を積んでいる列車の機関車が喚声を上げる人々をかき分けており、十数人のたくましい男が懸命に、群衆が運転手を炉に押し込むのを防いでいた。そんな有様だったので鉄道に乗ることはかなわず、弟はチョーク・ファーム・ロードに出た。弟は疾走する乗り物を避けながら混雑している道を進み、幸いなことに、まだ誰も物色していない自転車店で略奪をはたらくことができた。窓から引きずり出す際に自転車の前輪がパンクしてしまったが、それでも手首を軽く切った程度で済み、自転車をにまたがって出発した。ハーヴァーストック・ヒルの斜面がはじまるところは、いくつものひっくり返った馬車のために通行できず、ベルサイズ・ロードも渋滞していた。

問題編

So she got out of the fury* of the panic, and, skirting* the Edgware Road, reached Edgware about seven, fasting* and wearied, but well ahead of the crowd. Along the road people were standing in the roadway, curious, wondering. He was passed by a number of cyclists, some horsemen, and two motor cars. A mile from Edgware the rim of the wheel broke, and the machine became unridable. He left it by the roadside and trudged* through the village. There were shops half opened in the main street of the place, and people crowded on the pavement and in the doorways and windows, staring astonished at this extraordinary procession* of fugitives that was beginning. He succeeded in getting some food at an inn.

全訳

そして弟はパニックの猛威から抜け出して、エッジウェア・ロード沿いを進み、7時ごろにエッジウェアに着いた。何も食べておらず疲れきっていたが、十分群衆に先行していた。道沿いでは人々が道路に立ってぜひとも事態を知りたそうにしていた。弟は数台の自転車や馬車、そして2台の自動車に追い抜かれた。エッジウェアから1マイル離れたところで車輪のリムが壊れ、乗れなくなってしまった。道端に放置して、へとへとになりながら村を歩いて行った。そこのメインストリートでは半分開いている店がいくつもあった。人々は道路や戸口、窓のところで押し合いへし合いしていて、この異常な避難民の行進のはじまりを見てびっくりしながらしげしげとみていた。弟は宿屋で食べ物を手に入れることに成功した。

問題編

　For a time he remained in Edgware not knowing what next to do. The flying people increased (　) number. Many of them, like my brother, seemed inclined to loiter* in the place. There was no fresh news of the invaders from Mars.
　At that time the road was crowded, but as (　) far from congested*. Most of the fugitives at that hour were mounted on cycles, but there were soon motor cars, hansom cabs, and carriages hurrying along, and the dust hung in heavy clouds along the road to St. Albans.

暫くの間弟は、次にどうしたらいいかわからなくてエッジウェアにとどまっていた。避難民はますます増えていた。その多くは、弟のように、エッジウェアでぶらぶらしたがっているようだった。火星からの侵略者について新鮮な知らせは入って来なかった。
そのときに道路は人であふれていたが、まだ乗り物はほとんどなかった。避難して来た人の多くは自転車に乗っていたが、すぐに自動車、ハンソム・キャブ、馬車も次々に現れた。セント・アルバンズへの道に沿って広がる重たい雲の中に夕闇が漂っていた。

第16章　第８段落　（第307話）

問題編

It was perhaps a vague idea of making his way to Chelmsford, where some friends of his lived, that at last induced* my brother to strike into* a quiet lane running eastward. Presently he came upon a stile*, and, crossing it, followed a footpath northeastward. He passed near several farmhouses and some little places whose names he did not learn. He saw few fugitives until, in a grass lane towards High Barnet, he happened upon two ladies who became his fellow travellers. He came upon them just in time to save them.

全訳

最終的に弟が静かな道に足を踏み入れて東に向かったのは、おそらく、チェルムズフォードに行きたいという漠然とした考えだったのだろう。そこには友人が数人住んでいたからだ。まもなく道は牧場に突き当たり、弟は入口の踏み越し段を乗り越え、北東に伸びる小道を進んでいった。数軒の農家や名も無き場所を過ぎていった。ほとんど他の避難者は見かけなかったが、ハイ・バーネットに繋がる草の道で、たまたま2人の女性に出くわし、旅行仲間となった。
弟が少しでも遅れていたら2人は助からないところだった。

問題編

He heard their screams, and, hurrying round the corner, saw a couple of men struggling to drag them out of the little pony-chaise in which they had been driving, while a third with difficulty held the frightened pony’s head. One of the ladies, a short woman dressed in white, was simply screaming; the other, a dark, slender figure, slashed at the man who gripped her arm with a whip she held in her disengaged* hand.

全訳

弟は2人の悲鳴を聞き、急いで角を曲がってみると、2人の男が彼女たちを小さなポニー・チェイスから引きずり出そうと格闘していた。その彼女たちが乗っていた馬車のポニーは怖がっており、3人目の男がその頭をおさえることに難儀していた。一方の女性は白い服を着た背の低い人で、単に悲鳴をあげているだけだったが、もう一方の人は、黒服のすらりとした見た目で、片腕を男につかまれながらも、空いている手で鞭を持ってその男を叩いていた。

問題編

My brother immediately grasped the situation, shouted, and hurried towards the struggle. One of the men desisted* and turned towards him, and my brother, realising from his antagonist’s face that a fight was unavoidable, and being an expert boxer, went into him forthwith and sent him down against the wheel of the chaise.

問題編

It was no time for pugilistic* chivalry* and my brother laid him quiet with a kick, and gripped the collar of the man who pulled at the slender lady’s arm. He heard the clatter of hoofs*, the whip stung* across his face, a third antagonist struck him between the eyes, the man he held wrenched himself free* and made off down the lane in the direction from which he had come.

Partly stunned, he found himself facing the man who had held the horse’s head, and became aware of the chaise receding from him down the lane, swaying from side to side, and with the women in it looking back. The man before him, a burly* rough, tried to close*, and he stopped him with a blow in the face. Then, realising that he was deserted, he dodged* round and made off down the lane after the chaise, with the sturdy* man close behind him, and the fugitive, who had turned now, following remotely.

Suddenly he stumbled and fell; his immediate pursuer went headlong*, and he rose to his (　　) to find himself with a couple of antagonists again. He would have had little chance against them had not the slender lady very pluckily* pulled up and returned to his help. It seems she had had a revolver all this time, but it had been under the seat when she and her companion were attacked. She fired at six yards’ distance, narrowly missing my brother. The less courageous of the robbers made off, and his companion followed him, cursing his cowardice*. They both stopped in sight down the lane, where the third man lay insensible.

全訳

突然弟はつまずいて倒れ、すぐ後ろから追って来た男が突進してきた。弟が立ち上がったときには、2人の敵にはさまれてしまっていた。細身の女性がたいへん勇敢にも馬車を止めて引き返して助けに来てくれなければ、弟が勝てる望みはほとんどなかっただろう。その女性はリボルバーを携帯していたようだったが、二人が襲撃を受けたときには座席の下にあったのだろう。その人は６ヤードの距離から発砲し、弾は弟をギリギリかすめた。弱気な方の強盗は逃げ出し、もう一人も彼を臆病者と罵りながら続けて退散した。二人の強盗が道の先で立ち止まったのが見えた。そこでは三人目の強盗が気を失って倒れていた。

問題編

“Take this!” said the slender lady, and she gave my brother her revolver.
“Go back to the chaise,” said my brother, wiping the blood from his split lip.
She turned without a word—they were both panting—and they went back to where the lady in white struggled to hold back the frightened pony.
The robbers had evidently had enough of it. When my brother looked again they were retreating.
“I’ll sit here,” said my brother, “if I may”; and she got upon the empty front seat. The lady looked over her shoulder*.
“Give me the reins*,” she said, and laid the whip along the pony’s side. In another moment a bend in the road hid the three men from my brother’s eyes.
So, quite unexpectedly, my brother found himself, panting, with a cut mouth, a bruised jaw, and bloodstained knuckles, driving along an unknown lane with these two women.

「持ってて！」と細身の人が言って、弟にリボルバーを渡した。弟は「馬車に戻って」と、割れた唇から流れる血を拭きながら言った。その女性は無言で背を向け（二人とも息が絶え絶えになっていた）、白い服を着た人が怯えたポニーをなだめようと頑張っているところに戻って行った。強盗たちは明らかにもうたくさんだという顔で、弟が再び目をやると彼らは撤退していた。「ここに座ってもいい？」と弟は聞き、空いている前の席に乗り込んだ。女性は不安そうな顔をしていた。
「手綱をくださいな」と彼女は言って、ポニーに鞭を打ち付けた。次の瞬間、道の曲がり角にさしかかって3人の男たちは見えなくなった。
ともあれ、まったく予想だにしないことに、まだ息も荒く、口が切れ、あごを打撲し、ひじが血でにじんでいたまま、弟はこの二人と見知らぬ道を馬車で進むことになった。

問題編

He learned they were the wife and the younger sister of a surgeon living at Stanmore, who had come in the small hours from a dangerous case at Pinner, and heard at some railway station on his way of the Martian advance. He had hurried home, roused* the women—their servant had left them two days before—packed some provisions*, put his revolver under the seat—luckily for my brother—and told them to drive on to Edgware, with the idea of getting a train there. He stopped behind to tell the neighbours. He would overtake them, he said, at about half past four in the morning, and now it was nearly nine and they had seen nothing of him. They could not stop in Edgware because of the growing traffic through the place, and so they had come into this side lane.

They could not stop (in Edgware) (because of the growing traffic through the place), and so they had come into this side lane.

弟は、2人がスタンモアに住む外科医の奥さんと妹で、ピンナーで起こった危ない事件から数時間で逃げて来たことを知った。また、道中の駅で火星人の侵攻について耳にした。外科医の夫は家に走り、2人を急がせていたー使用人は2日前に出て行っていたー。彼は食料を詰め、席の下にリボルバーを置きー弟にとっては幸運だったーエッジウェアまで向かうように2人に言った。そこで鉄道に乗れるかもしれないと思っていたのだ。彼は残って近所の人に避難を促していた。朝の4時半には追いつくと言っていたが、もう9時ごろだというのに姿はまったく見えなかった。交通量が増えてきたので、エッジウェアに留まることはできず、側道に入ったのだ。

悲しみに暮れてやつれた、たいそう着飾っている女性が子供たちとトボトボ歩いていた。子供たちは泣いたりつまずいたりしていた。そのかわいらしい服は砂ぼこりで覆われ、疲れ切った顔は涙にまみれていた。多くの男たちもこうした子供たちを引き連れていた。男たちはときどき役に立っていたが、不機嫌で野蛮になったりもしていた。彼らがお互い道を争ったせいで、疲れた道端の浮浪者がわきに追いやられた。浮浪者たちは擦り切れた黒いぼろ服を着て、荒れた目つきで汚い言葉を騒ぎ立てていた。がっしりとした労働者は人を押しわけて進んでいた。その哀れでだらしない男たちは、店員のような服を着て、突然他の人に当たっていた。弟は負傷兵、鉄道の荷物持ちの服を着た男、ナイトシャツの上にコートを羽織ったみすぼらしい生き物を目にした。

But varied as its composition was, certain things all that host had in common. There were fear and pain on their faces, and fear behind them. A tumult up the road, a quarrel for a place in a waggon, sent the whole host of them quickening their pace; even a man so scared and broken that his knees bent under him was galvanised* for a moment into renewed activity. The heat and dust had already been at work upon this multitude. Their skins were dry, their lips black and cracked. They were all thirsty, weary, and footsore. And amid the various cries one heard disputes, reproaches, groans of weariness and fatigue; the voices of most of them were hoarse and weak. Through it all ran a refrain:
“Way! Way! The Martians are coming!”

弟たちはハドリーを東に進み、その道の両側やさらに進んだところでも、多くの人々が小川で水を飲んでいた。水場を求めて争っている人たちもいた。さらに進んでイースト・バーネット近くの落ち着いたところでは、2本の列車が信号も指示もなく、連なってゆっくりと進んでいた。列車は人々でいっぱいだった。機関室の石炭が積まれたあたりに乗っている人たちもいた。列車はグレート・ノーザン線で北に向かっていた。弟は、この列車はロンドンの外で人々を乗せたに違いないと思った。というのも、そのとき人々の激しい恐怖のせいで中心部のターミナルは使用不能に陥っていたからだ。

問題編

Near this place they halted for the rest of the afternoon, for the violence of the day had already utterly exhausted all three of them. They began to suffer the beginnings of hunger; the night was cold, and none of them dared to sleep. And in the evening many people came hurrying along the road nearby their stopping place, fleeing from unknown dangers before them, and going in the direction from which my brother had come.

全訳

午後の残りの時間、この場所の近くで弟たちは休んだ。というのも、その日の激しい出来事のせいで既に3人とも疲れ切ってしまっていたからだ。そして３人はおなかが空き始めていた。夜はとても寒かったので、誰も寝る気にはなれなかった。夕方には多くの人々が横切って行った。近くの道を走っていたり、背後のよくわからない危険から逃げたり、弟が来た方に向かって行ったりしていた。
