The Bremen Town Musicains (2) [Bremen Town Musicians]
The Bremen Town Musicains (2)
A short time after, they came upon a cat, sitting in the road with a face as long as a wet week.
※
with a face as long as a wet week:うっとうしく沈んだ顔で(湿りがちな空模様のただなかにいるような顔でーだと思うのですがー)
”Well, what has been bothering you, Whiskers ? " asked the donkey.
" Who can be cheerful when his neck is in danger ? " said the cat.
" I am getting old , and my teeth are dull.
I prefer to sit by the stove and purr insteadof hunting around after mice.
Just because of this, my mistress wanted to dwown me.
I ran away, but now I don't know what is to become of me. "
" Come with us to Bremen, " said the donkey.
" You are a great hand at serenading. You can become a town musician. "
※
great hand at ~:長けている
The cat agreed, and joined them.
Next, the three passed by a yard where a cock was sitting on the gate, crowing with all its might.
※
crowing with all its might:全力を振り絞って鳴いている
" Your crowing goes through and through one, " said the donkey.
" What's the matter ? "
" Whyーbecause Sunday visitors are coming tomorrow, the mistress ordered the cook to make me into soup !
Now I am crowing with all my might while I have the chance. "
" Come along, Redcomb, " said the donkey.
" We're going to Bremen. You'll find a much better life there.
You have a strong voice. When we make music together, it will be good. "
The cock agreed, and they all four went off together.
