Ned Kelly: A True Story

Christine Lindop

5,775 words

まだ小さかった頃、彼は貧乏で空腹だった。青年になっても貧乏で空腹のままだった。彼は馬を盗み、闘うことを覚え、法の外で生きることを覚えた。 1870年代のオーストラリアは秩序のない荒れた国だった。金持ちが土地を所有しその富を増やす一方、土地を持たない貧乏人には貧乏から抜け出す手段は何もなかった。ネッド・ケリーが無法者だというものもいれば、彼は悪党ではなく法が悪いというものもいる。これはオーストラリアの最も有名な無法者の真実の物語である。

When he was a boy, he was poor and hungry. When he was a young man, he was still poor and still hungry. He learnt how to steal horses, he learnt how to fight, he learnt how to live - outside the law. Australia in the 1870s was a hard, wild place. Rich people had land, poor people didn't. So the rich got richer, and the poor stayed poor. Some say Ned Kelly was a bad man. Some say he was a good man but the law was bad. This is the true story of Australia's most famous outlaw. CEFR A1/A2 Word count 5,775
