Great Expectations

Charles Dickens

24,045 words

薄暗く人のあまり寄りつかない家にハヴィシャムは、これまでと同じように座っている。彼女は、かつては白かったけれども、年を経て今は色あせて黄色くなったウェディングドレスを着てベールを被り、来る年も来る年もずっと座っている。彼女の顔は死人のようだ。彼女の黒い瞳は敵意と憎しみで燃えている。彼女の脇には気位の高そうな美少女が座り、前には野暮ったい長靴をはいて、恐怖で震える若いピップが立っている。 ハヴィシャムは冷たくピップを見つめ、脇の少女に小声で言う。「この子を悲しませてやりなさい、エステラ。悲しませるのよ」

In a gloomy, neglected house Miss Havisham sits, as she has sat year after year, in a wedding dress and veil that were once white, and are now faded and yellow with age. Her face is like a death's head; her dark eyes burn with bitterness and hate. By her side sits a proud and beautiful girl, and in front of her, trembling with fear in his thick country boots, stands young Pip. Miss Havisham stares at Pip coldly, and murmurs to the girl at her side: 'Break his heart, Estella. Break his heart!'
