RBR long track making guide This is a guide to building long rally tracks using BTB v0.7 or later. After recently spending several days creating my first really really long rally track, I though it would be helpful to others to learn from my experience. Here s how the first part of the track looks after 3 long days of creation ... BTB is aiming to provide an RBR experience that is better than the original. The format we use allows us (eventually) to do much more than if we’d stuck with the original RBR format. Internally we use technology that allows several hundred thousand objects to line a long stage. The creation of that environment is easier with BTB by the use of the Object planting tools and String Objects. Everything created by these tools is efficiently loaded and displayed using the RBR RX plugin coded by black f. Having completed this stage, as much as I intend to for now, there are some things I would do differently had I to create it all again. So here are the steps I will take in my next track. The Track Create a basic path using Nodes spaced 300-400 meters apart in the top view to create the whole track. (Note For speed reasons I have recommended that you use multiple tracks, and I still do. I intend to create a tool to split tracks but that might be a while). Adjust the height of one Node, then select XXX number of nodes nearby and use the Smooth Nodes by height popup menu to smooth out the change in height between those nodes. Repeat this step until you have a good height variation. Add more Nodes by selecting and splitting track sections. Adjust the direction and height of these nodes. This will take some time. Leave some sections long and straight, others windy and hilly to give variety. Use the surface modifier to add variety to the track’s cross-section. This can add bumps ditches and camber to the road. Initially set the Panel Size to 20m so that recalculation is performed quickly. Afterwards you can set it to lower values for more track detail. I steer clear of the width and camber tools. Use the terrain tool to create 20 meters of terrain either side of your track. Use the randomness and slope it slightly upwards. This will act as a safety barrier when you test your track. Place a large object such as house or large tree every 3 kms along your track. This helps to identify different parts of your track when editing it later. Export to RBR and drive it. Then remove the terrain and go back to step 3 and adjust until you have a track that drives well. (I could have spent more time doing that myself .. but, well this was just a demo). It is important to get the above steps done and your track driving well before continuing further. It is much harder to go back from here and re-edit the track and terrain. You can move the start position to help test the track in smaller pieces. Textures Add/edit your own textures to the scenery. Some people have great skill in this area (not me) and it shows in the result. You can edit the textures in the RBR track folder and press F2 to see their immediate impact. The track cross section can be made to have the center part as road with the edges being grass or dirt. Each texture file has a corresponding *.rbr file that provides the physical characteristics of the surface determining the sound and grip levels. These can be edited using the RBR_MaterialEditor in the Support\RBR\MaterialEditor folder. See the BTB manual for more help (press F1). I wish I had more time to devote to this myself as they play a very important role in obtaining a good feeling for your roads. Terrain Add around 20m of terrain either side of the track. The Quick Add tool of BTB is designed to generate the driveable terrain very quickly. It is important not to try and overuse this tool to cover everything as you should only be trying to make part of the terrain a driveable surface. Anything that is going to be out of bounds should be marked as non-collideable. Use the Pull tool to enlarge the boundary of your terrain for the entire track. This is best done by selecting the outer edge of terrain anchors and dragging it outwards. I set Reduce to 4 to dramatically lower the polygon count. Section, by section highlight the polygons created in step 11 and Split them into a new Terrain Area. I name this “Outer” and keep it as one big terrain area to begin with. Later you could divide it into smaller areas so that the LOD ability helps increase frame rates. Use the Raise/Lower and Flatten tools to alter the terrain in the 3d view. Limit the visible terrain to just a few Terrain areas Left and Right of the road and slowly work your way along it to add variety. You can’t resist, so drive it again now. Go back to 13 until you are happy or fed up. ;) Objects and SObjects If you do go back to terrain editing after adding BObjects and SObjects, be sure to turn off these items to speed up recalculations of your track. Note when you switch back to editing BObjects or SObjects there will be a delay as they get recalculated to sit on the terrain. Depending on the type of track you are creating will determine what objects you put in and how densely it will be populated. This is where your artistic and aesthetic talents are needed. Keep Objects logically grouped by type, merge multiple groups of the same type of Object into one to make management easier. Add SObjects in order from the start of the track to the end as this makes finding them easier later on. Set LOD and collision values to fine tune the track. Use the latest Object Add to Track tool for relatively rapid planting of the entire track. Test by click-dragging on the track first in order to get the density right (press the Delete key afterwards to remove). I will be making this faster in a future update. Test many times and repeat until happy. OK, that’s it from me for now. My eyes are starting to blink and stay closed for longer than they stay open. 引用 http //forum.racedepartment.com/bobs-track-builder/17184-rbr-long-track-making-guide.html

dlga_award_fief_to_vassal award_fief_to_vassal_defer|I wish to defer the appointment of a lord, until I take the counsel of my subjects dlga_award_fief_to_vassal_defer close_window|As you wish, {sire/my lady}. You may decide this matter at a later date. dlga_award_fief_to_vassal_2 close_window|As you wish, {sire/my lady}. {reg6?I {reg7?You {s11}}} will be the new {reg3?lady lord} of {s1}. dlga_event_triggered center_captured_rebellion|{s1} is not being managed by anyone. Whom shall I put in charge? dlga_center_captured_rebellion center_captured_rebellion_2|{s11}. {s1} dlga_center_captured_rebellion center_captured_rebellion_2.1|Please {s65}, I want to have {s1} for myself. (fiefs {s0}) dlga_center_captured_rebellion center_captured_rebellion_2.2|{s66}, you should have {s1} for yourself. (fiefs {s0}) dlga_center_captured_rebellion_2 close_window|Hmmm. All right, {playername}. I value your counsel highly. {reg6?I {reg7?You {s11}}} will be the new {reg3?lady lord} of {s1}. dlga_start fighter_talk|Hello there. We are polishing off our combat skills here with a bit of sparring practice. You look like you could use a bit of training. Why don't you join us, and we can show you a few tricks. And if you need explanation of any combat concepts, just ask, and I will do my best to fill you in. dlga_start fighter_talk.1|What do you want to practice? dlga_fighter_pretalk fighter_talk|Tell me what kind of practice you want. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_attack|I want to practice attacking. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_parry|I want to practice blocking with my weapon. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_combat|Let's do some sparring practice. dlga_fighter_talk close_window|[Leave] dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack fighter_talk_train_attack_2|All right. There are four principle directions for attacking. These are overhead swing, right swing, left swing and thrust. Now, I will tell you which direction to attack from and you must try to do the correct attack. ^^(Move your mouse while you press the left mouse button to specify attack direction. For example, to execute an overhead attack, move the mouse up at the instant you press the left mouse button. The icons on your screen will help you do the correct action.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry fighter_talk_train_parry_2|Unlike a shield, blocking with a weapon can only stop attacks coming from one direction. For example if you block up, you'll deflect overhead attacks, but you can still be hit by side swings or thrust attacks. ^^(You must press and hold down the right mouse button to block.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_2 fighter_talk_train_parry_3|I'll now attack you with different types of strokes, and I will wait until you do the correct block before attacking. Try to do the correct block as soon as you can. ^^(This practice is easy to do with the 'automatic block direction' setting which is the default. If you go to the Options menu and change defend direction control to 'mouse movement' or 'keyboard', you'll need to manually choose block direction. This is much more challenging, but makes the game much more interesting. This practice can be very useful if you use manual blocking.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat fighter_talk_train_combat_2|Sparring is an excellent way to prepare for actual combat. We'll fight each other with non-lethal weapons now, until one of us falls to the ground. You can get some bruises of course, but better that than being cut down in the real thing. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_start fighter_parry_try_again|Good. You were able to block my attacks successfully. You may repeat this practice and try to get faster each time, until you are confident of your defense skills. Do you want to have another go? dlga_start fighter_parry_try_again.1|Well that didn't go too well, did it? (Remember, you must press and hold down the right mouse button to keep your block effective.) Do you want to try again? dlga_fighter_parry_try_again fighter_talk_train_parry|Yes. Let's try again. dlga_fighter_parry_try_again fighter_talk_leave_parry|No, I think I am done for now. dlga_start fighter_parry_warn|Hey! We are doing a blocking practice, mate! You are supposed to block my attacks, not attack me back. dlga_fighter_parry_warn fighter_talk_train_parry|I am sorry. Let's try once again. dlga_fighter_parry_warn fighter_talk_leave_parry|Sorry. I must leave this practice now. dlga_fighter_talk_leave_parry close_window|All right. As you wish. dlga_start fighter_combat_try_again|Well that didn't go too well, did it? Don't feel bad, and try not to do same mistakes next time. Do you want to have a go again? dlga_fighter_combat_try_again fighter_talk_train_combat|Yes. Let's do another round. dlga_fighter_combat_try_again fighter_talk_leave_combat|No. That was enough for me. dlga_fighter_talk_leave_combat close_window|Well, all right. Talk to me again if you change your mind. dlga_start fighter_combat_try_again.1|Hey, that was good sparring. You defeated me, but next time I'll be more careful. Do you want to have a go again? dlga_start fighter_talk.2|Very good. You have learned how to attack from any direction you want. If you like we can try this again or move to a different exercise. dlga_start archer_challenge_2|Not bad. Not bad at all! You seem to have grasped the basics of archery. Now, try to do the same thing with a crossbow. Take the crossbow and the bolts over there and shoot those three targets. The crossbow is much easier to shoot with compared with the bow, but you need to reload it after each shot. dlga_start archer_challenge_2.1|Good. You didn't have too much difficulty using the crossbow either. Next you will learn to use throwing weapons. Pick up the javelins you see over there and try to hit those three targets. dlga_start ranged_end|Well, with that you have recevied the basic skills to use all three types of ranged weapons. The rest will come with practice. Train each and every day, and in time you will be as good as the best marksmen in Europe. dlga_ranged_end close_window|Now, you can go talk with the melee fighters or the horsemanship trainer if you haven't already done so. They can teach you important skills too. dlga_start archer_talk|Good day to you, young fellow. I spend my days teaching about ranged weapons to anyone that is willing to learn. If you need a tutor, let me know and I'll teach you how to use the bow, the crossbow and the javelin. dlga_archer_talk archer_challenge|Yes, show me how to use ranged weapons. dlga_archer_talk close_window|No, not now. dlga_archer_challenge archer_challenge_2|All right. Your first training will be in bowmanship. The bow is a difficult weapon to master. But once you are sufficiently good at it, you can shoot quickly and with great power. Go pick up the bow and arrows you see over there now and shoot those targets. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window|All right. I am ready. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window.1|Just a minute. I want to do something else first. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2|I hope you enjoyed the ride. Now we move on to something a bit more difficult. Grab the lance you see over there and ride around the course hitting each target at least once. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2.1|Good! You have been able to hit all targets on horseback. That's no easy feat for a starter. Your next challange will be using a bow and arrows to shoot at the archery targets by the road. You need to put an arrow to each target to consider yourself successful. dlga_start horsemanship_end|Very good. You were able to shoot all targets from horseback. Keep riding and practicing each day and in time you will be an expert horseman. dlga_horsemanship_end close_window|Now, you can go talk with the melee fighters or the archery trainer if you haven't already done so. You need to learn everything you can to be prepared when you have to defend yourself. dlga_start horseman_talk|Good day! I have come here for some riding practice, but my old bones are aching badly so I decided to give myself a rest today. If you would like to practice your horsemanship, you can take my horse here. The exercise would be good for her. dlga_horseman_talk horseman_challenge|Yes, I would like to practice riding. dlga_horseman_talk close_window|Uhm. Maybe later. dlga_horseman_challenge horseman_melee_challenge_2|Good. Now, I will give you a few exercises that'll teach you riding and horseback weapon use. Your first assignment is simple. Just take your horse for a ride around the course. Go as slow or as fast as you like. Come back when you feel confident as a rider and I'll give you some tougher exercises. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window|All right. I am ready. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window.1|Just a minute. I need to do something else first. dlga_tutorial_troop_default close_window|Hey, I am trying to practice here. Go, talk with the archery trainer if you need guidance about ranged weapons. dlga_start lord_prison_break_confirm_3|Is there a change of plans? dlga_start lord_prison_break|What's going on? dlga_start drunk_response|What are you looking at? dlga_start drunk_response.1|Are you looking at me? dlga_player_duel_response close_window|Such a waste... dlga_player_duel_response close_window.1|Better him than me dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start|I'm not sure... Some sort of animal, clearly dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start.1|Excuse me -- please accept my apologies dlga_drunk_fight_start close_window|I'll wipe that smirk right off your face! dlga_drunk_response drunk_player_high_renown|Do you have any idea who I am? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start|Do I care? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_player_high_renown|Emmm... Actually... Yes, yes, I do know who you are, {sir/madame}. Please forgive me, your grace -- it must be the drink. I'll be leaving, now... dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start.1|Why, if you want a fight, you shall have one! dlga_drunk_player_high_renown close_window|I thought as much. Now, remove yourself from here dlga_start fistfight_response|You look like a {fellow/lady} who can take a few hard knocks -- and deal them out, too. I have a business proposition for you. dlga_fistfight_response fistfight_response_2|How's that? dlga_fistfight_response_2 fistfight_response_2a|Good -- I'm glad you're interested. Here's the plan... It's a little complicated, so listen well. dlga_fistfight_response_2a fistfight_response_3|You and this other fellow will start up a fight here. No weapons, no armor -- I'll sit back and take bets, and split the profits with the winner. If we make a loss, then I'll cover it. You've got nothing to lose -- except a bit of blood, of course. dlga_fistfight_response_3 fistfight_response_4|However, we can't organize this like one of those nice arena bouts, where everyone places their bets beforehand. People will walk in, drawn by the noise, and put a denar or two on whichever one of your two they think is winning. I'll give 'em even odds -- anything else is going to be too tricky for someone who's already on his third flagon of ale. dlga_fistfight_response_4 fistfight_response_4a|So, as you can see, the trick is to stretch things out for as long as possible where it looks like you're losing, and people bet against you -- and then come back fast, and win, before the betting can turn. The best way to make money is for you to be battered almost to the floor, and then jump back off your feet and take the other guy down. However, you have to win in the end in order for me, and you, to make money. dlga_fistfight_response_4a fistfight_response_5|Also, you can't stretch the fight out too long, or people will suspect a fix. So, one of you has to take a punch every so often. I don't care whose blood is spilled, but there has to be some blood. dlga_fistfight_response_5 fistfight_response_5a|And one other thing -- my mate, your opponent, he doesn't take to well to complexity. So he's just going to come straight at you. It's up to you to supply the artistry. dlga_fistfight_response_5a fistfight_response_confirm|So, what do you think? dlga_fistfight_response_confirm close_window.1|I have better things to do dlga_start ramun_introduce_1|Good day to you, {young man/lassie}. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 ramun_introduce_2|Forgive me, you look like a trader, but I see none of your merchandise. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 close_window|Never mind. dlga_ramun_introduce_2 ramun_introduce_3|A trader? Oh, aye, I certainly am that. My merchandise is a bit different from most, however. It has to be fed and watered twice a day and tries to run away if I turn my back. dlga_ramun_introduce_3 ramun_introduce_4|Livestock? dlga_ramun_introduce_4 ramun_introduce_5|Close enough. I like to call myself the man who keeps every boat on this ocean moving. Boats are driven by oars, you see, and oars need men to pull them or they stop. That's where I come in. dlga_ramun_introduce_5 ramun_introduce_6|Galley slaves. dlga_ramun_introduce_6 ramun_introduce_7|Now you're catching on! A trading port like this couldn't survive without them. The ships lose a few hands on every voyage, so there's always a high demand. The captains come to me and they pay well. dlga_ramun_introduce_7 ramun_introduce_8|Where do the slaves come from? dlga_ramun_introduce_8 ramun_introduce_9|Mostly I deal in convicted criminals bought from the authorities. Others are prisoners of war from various nations, brought to me because I offer the best prices. However, on occasion I'll buy from privateers and other . . . 'individuals'. You can't be picky about your suppliers in this line of work. You wouldn't happen to have any prisoners with you, would you? dlga_ramun_introduce_9 ramun_introduce_10|Me? dlga_ramun_introduce_10 ramun_introduce_11|Why not? If you intend to set foot outside this town, you're going to cross swords with someone sooner or later. And, God willing, you'll come out on top. Why not make some extra money off the whole thing? Take them alive, bring them back to me, and I'll pay you fifty gold for each head. Don't much care who they are or where they come from. dlga_ramun_introduce_11 ramun_introduce_12|Hmm. I'll think about it. dlga_ramun_introduce_12 close_window|Do think about it! There's a lot of silver to be made, no mistake. More than enough for the both of us. dlga_start ramun_talk|Hello, {playername}. dlga_ramun_pre_talk ramun_talk|Anything else? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_sell_prisoners|I've brought you some prisoners, Ramun. Would you like a look? dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners ramun_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what you have... dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners_2 close_window|A pleasure doing business with you. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing|How do I take somebody as prisoner? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing.1|Can you tell me again about capturing prisoners? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_have_blunt_weapon|You're new to this, aren't you? Let me explain it in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? I'm assuming you have a blunt weapon with you . . . dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Of course. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no|As a matter of fact, I don't. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Good. Then all you need to do is beat the bugger down with your weapon, and when the fighting's over you clap him in irons. It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. I don't have many requirements in my merchandise, but I do insist they be breathing when I buy them. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2|No? Heh, well, this must be your lucky day. I've got an old club lying around that I was going to throw away. It a bit battered, but still good enough bash someone until he stops moving. Here, have it. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2 ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Thanks, Ramun. Perhaps I may try my hand at it. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Alright, I'll try and expain it again in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_2 ramun_ask_about_capturing_3|Alright, I think I understand. Anything else? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_3 ramun_ask_about_capturing_4|Well, it's not as simple as all that. Blunt weapons don't do as much damage as sharp ones, so they won't bring your enemies down as quickly. And trust me, given the chance, most of the scum you run across would just as soon kill you as look at you, so don't expect any courtesy when you pull out a club instead of a sword. Moreover, having to drag prisoners to and fro will slow down your party, which is why some people simply set their prisoners free after the fighting's done. It's madness. How could anyone turn down all that silver, eh? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_4 ramun_ask_about_capturing_5|Is that everything? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_5 ramun_ask_about_capturing_7|Just one final thing. Managing prisoners safely is not an easy thing to do, you could call it a skill in itself. If you want to capture a lot of prisoners, you should try and learn the tricks of it yourself, or you won't be able to hang on to a single man you catch. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_7 ramun_pre_talk|Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_leave|I'd better be going. dlga_ramun_leave close_window|Remember, any prisoners you've got, bring them to me.

I trust you've rested well? dlga_start_smuggling_1a start_smuggling_1b|I slept fine. dlga_start_smuggling_1a start_smuggling_1c|I don't suppose you're really here to ask that. dlga_start_smuggling_1b start_smuggling_2|That's good to hear. You'll need your strength in a place like this. dlga_start_smuggling_1c start_smuggling_2|Straight to the point, aren't you? dlga_start_smuggling_2 start_smuggling_3|Anyway, I didn't come here to make small talk. No, I'm here to come clean with you. dlga_start_smuggling_3 start_smuggling_3a|I wasn't merely a tavern drunk that nobly offered his services. Truthfully, I am a customs inspector and I've been following the man you duelled for weeks. He's involved with a group of violent smugglers we've been trying to track down for months. I'd been intending to arrest him, but when you bumped into him I figured his death in a duel would accomplish the same thing, only without all the paper work. dlga_start_smuggling_3a start_smuggling_4|What's your meaning telling me all this? dlga_start_smuggling_4 start_smuggling_4a|Well, you've proved yourself a useful sort and we need all the good men we can get. Now, it's dangerous work but it puts a little coin in your pocket dlga_start_smuggling_4a start_smuggling_4b|And if I have no interest in this line of work? dlga_start_smuggling_4a start_smuggling_4c|Danger? Money? Presumably women? Where do I sign up? dlga_start_smuggling_4b start_smuggling_5|I'm afraid that without your cooperation, I'll have no way to protect you from the ramifications of your illegal duel. The penalty for such a crime is death. That in mind, I suspect you'll be willing to help. dlga_start_smuggling_4c start_smuggling_5|Ha ha! Now that's what I like to hear. dlga_start_smuggling_5 start_smuggling_6|Any way. Our main impediment to eradicating these smugglers is our present difficulty in uncovering the location of their hiding place. None of my runners have succeeded in tracking them and none we've captured have talked. There may be some luck in store for us yet, though; we've recently noticed a new greenhorn running with the group. If we're fortunate he'll still be soft and we'll be able to work the location out of him. dlga_start_smuggling_6 start_smuggling_6a|He and a few of the other smugglers are presently working as duffers on the roads outside town, imposing false contraband upon gullible bumpkins at inflated prices. If you can capture him and dispatch his accomplices we may be able to extract from him the information we need. Gather some local men if you have to and look for them on the roads around town. I'll be here waiting for your report. dlga_start_smuggling_6a start_smuggling_7|Why send me? Aren't you and your men better suited to this? dlga_start_smuggling_7 close_window|They've as many spies as we do and they know us as well as we know them. They won't recognise you, though. You'll be able to get by their look-outs without them bolting. Good luck and try not to get killed. dlga_start close_window.5|What are you bothering me for? Go and capture that smuggler. It is of great import that you do so as quickly as you can. dlga_start close_window.6|Was there anything else? No? Then if you don't mind I have some celebrating to do. dlga_start start_smuggling_found_1|My spies have reported on your success. Excellent work. I'd say you've earned a few coins. dlga_start_smuggling_found_1 close_window|Now that we know where those bastards are hiding, I'll gather my officers and runners together for an attack. Let me know when you're ready to join us, and don't bother me until then. Hurry, though, they'll surely notice some of their men are missing before long. dlga_start close_window.7|Ready to go? Very well, let's join my men. dlga_start start_final_1|Ha ha! What a fight that was. We really showed those bastards, didn't we? I told you they wouldn't go unhanged, didn't I? Anyway, they commanded a considerable bounty which I'll gladly share with you. dlga_start close_window.8|Are we not finished? take off and let me enjoy my drink. dlga_start start_final_1.1|That was a nasty wound you received. Still, we persevered without you. Now, for your help locating the den you'll get a part of the bounty those smugglers commanded, but understand that because you weren't a whole lot of help in the fight it'll be a reduced cut. dlga_start_final_1 start_final_1a|With this business finally concluded I suppose I'll move on to other work. Consider you're debt to me repaid. Perhaps we'll meet again in the future. Until then, I bid thee farewell. dlga_start_final_1a close_window|Better not make our next meeting too soon. dlga_start_final_1a close_window.1|You're an odd man, though perhaps not an entirely unamusing one. dlga_start_duel_won close_window|I suppose that's the last frivolous duel he'll be fighting, the fool. I must congratulate you on your victory. Perhaps you should go get some rest now. You've earned it. dlga_start_duel_violated close_window|Firing before the command is a reprehensible act! We must reset and try it again. Do not repeat your mistake! dlga_start_duel_failed close_window|It seems satisfaction has not been had. We'll reload and try again. dlga_start_duel_1 start_duel_1a|Your opponent has left it up to you to choose the manner of your duel. Will it be pistols or swords? dlga_start_duel_1a start_duel_2|Pistols it is. dlga_start_duel_1a start_duel_2a|I'm better with a sword. dlga_start_duel_2 close_window|Very well, pistols it is. Stand your ground and hold your fire until I give the command. If no one is hit, we'll reload and try again. Remember to keep a steady hand. dlga_start_duel_2a close_window|I hope you're good with a blade. The winner is the last one able to stand. Your opponent is a hot-headed sort and will be constantly on the offence. Use that to your advantage. dlga_start_up_quest_1_next close_window|Are you all right? Well.... I guess you're alive, at any rate. I'm not sure that we can say the same for the other fellow. That's one less thief to trouble our streets at night, although Heaven knows he won't be the last.... Anyway, maybe you can help me with something. Let's talk more inside. Out here, we don't know who's listening dlga_start merchant_quest_2a|Splendid work. You have hired enough men to take on the bandits. Now -- travellers entering {s9} have told us that there is a small group of robbers lurking on the outside of town. I suspect that they are all from the same band, the one that took my brother. Hunt them down and defeat them, and make them disclose the location of their lair! dlga_start merchant_quest_3a|So, you've found out where they hid my brother? Splendid work. I flatter myself that I'm a fine judge of character, and you look to be a {man/woman} who can get things done. Now, go out and save his unworthy hide! dlga_start merchant_quest_3b|Well... My brother is home safe. I'm not sure what to do with him -- maybe pack him off to a university outside Europe. That way, if he gets knocked on the head in a street brawl, no one can say it's my fault. But that's not your problem. Here's the rest of your reward. It was well-earned. dlga_merchant_quest_3b merchant_quest_4a|The money is most welcome, and I am glad to have been of service dlga_merchant_quest_4a merchant_quest_4b|Good! Now... Are you interested in making some more? dlga_merchant_quest_4b merchant_quest_4b1|Possibly. What do you need? dlga_merchant_quest_4b1 merchant_quest_4b2|Remember how I told you that the bandits had an ally inside the walls? I think I know who it is -- the captain of the watch, no less. Some months ago this captain, seeing the amount of profit we merchants were making from trade across the frontiers, decided to borrow some money to sponsor a caravan. Unfortunately, like many who are new to commerce, he failed to realize that great profit only comes with great risk. So he sank all his money into the most expensive commodities, and of course his caravan was captured and looted, and he lost everything. dlga_merchant_quest_4b2 merchant_quest_4b3|As a consequence, it seems, our captain turned to villainy to recoup his fortune. I supposed I'd do the same if, the Heavens forbid, I ever faced indebtedness and ruination. Now, any watch captain worth his salary will have a few thieves and robbers on his payroll, to inform on the rest, but our captain decides to employ these bastards wholesale. He brings them into the town, lets them do as they will, and takes a share of their take. You've heard of poachers turning gamekeepers? Well, in the unfortunate land of Europe, sometimes gamekeepers will turn poacher. Luckily, there's are still a few brave, honest souls in the watch who've told me how he works. dlga_merchant_quest_4b3 merchant_quest_4b4|Now -- here's my plan. I could bring this to the attention of {s4}, lord of the city, but that would mean an inquiry, my word against the captain's, and witnesses can be bought and evidence destroyed, or maybe the whole thing will be forgotten if the enemy comes across the border again, and all I'll get for my trouble is a knife in the ribs. In time of war, you see, a king's eye wanders far from his domain, and his subjects suffer. So I've got another idea. I've got a small group of townsfolk together, some men in my employ and some others who've lost relatives to these bandits, and we'll storm the captain's home and bring him in chains before {s4}, hopefully with a few captured bandits to explain how things stack up. dlga_merchant_quest_4b4 merchant_quest_4b5|All I need now is someone to lead my little army into battle -- and I can't think of anyone better than you. So, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b5 merchant_quest_4b6|How do I know that you're telling me the truth? dlga_merchant_quest_4b6 merchant_quest_4b7|Oh, well, I suppose it's possible that I found a dozen bandits who were willing to give their lives to give a passing stranger a false impression of life in old {s4}... Well, I guess you can't really know if my word is good, but I reckon you've learned by now that my money is good, and there's another 100 gold, or maybe a bit more, that's waiting for you if you'll do me this last little favor. So what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4b8|All right. I'll lead your men. dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4_decline|I'm sorry. This is too much, too fast. I need time to think. dlga_merchant_quest_4b8 merchant_quest_4b9|Splendid. It's been a long time since I staked so much on a single throw of the dice, and frankly I find it exhilarating. My men are ready to move on your word. Are you ready? dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_accept|Yes. Give them the sign. dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_decline|Not now. I will need to rest before I can fight again. dlga_merchant_quest_4_accept close_window|Good! Now -- strike hard, strike fast, and the captain and his henchmen won't know what hit them. May the heavens be with you! dlga_merchant_quest_4_decline close_window|Right. I can keep my men standing by. If you let this go too long, then I suppose that I shall have to finish this affair without you, but I would be most pleased if you could be part of it as well. For now, take what time you need. dlga_merchant_quest_2a close_window|Very well. I shall hunt for bandits. dlga_merchant_quest_2a merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome|Why don't you come with us? dlga_merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome merchant_quest_2a|Because I'm paying you to go take care of it. That's the short answer. The long answer is that I've got some leads to follow up here in town, and I have just as much chance of getting knocked on my head as you, if that's what you're asking. But I respect your question. Now, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_2a close_window.1|I cannot deal with this matter at this time. dlga_merchant_quest_3a close_window|Very well. I go now to attack the bandits in their lair, and find your brother. dlga_merchant_quest_3a close_window.1|I cannot deal with this matter at this time. dlga_start merchant_quest_persuasion|You may do as you wish, {sir/my lady}, but I am disappointed. You would do well to reconsider. I am a rich men, and would show you my gratitude in coin. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion merchant_quest_1_prologue_3|You make a persuasive case. I will help you. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion merchant_quest_2|You make a persuasive case. I will help you. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion merchant_quest_3|You make a persuasive case.

Oh, he's grateful enough that I got rid of his crooked captain -- a guard who'll let in bandits will let in an enemy army, if the price is right -- but he can't exactly have me running around here as a lasting reminder of his failure to take care of things himself. dlga_merchant_closing_statement_2 merchant_closing_statement_3|That hardly seems fair... dlga_merchant_closing_statement_3 merchant_closing_statement_4|Fair?

That's gracious enough, as kings go -- but he's a weak king, as they all are here, and weak kings must always look to their authority first, and justice second.

UP CHAPTER II CHAPTER I Mrs. Rachel Lynde is Surprised 第1章 レイチェル・リンド夫人の驚き（松本訳） Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies eardrops 「Rachel Lynde」松本訳注第1章(1) p. 449参照 「Avonlea」松本訳注第1章(2) p. 450参照 「alder」ハンノキ Alnus 写真はウィキペディアをどうぞ 「ladies eardrops」フクシア Fuchsia 写真はウィキペディアをどうぞ 「ladies eardrops」は、モードの手書き原稿では、「jewelweed」となっているそうです。薄荷さんの「完訳・赤毛のアン」フクシアの謎にありました。この完訳は松本訳のこと。プリンスエドワード島では野生のフクシアはない（野外では育たない）のではないか、ということのようです。jewelweed Impatiens capensis は東北大学のPlant Evolutionary Biology（植物進化生物学と訳せましょう）の研究室のウェブページにあるそうです（ちゃんとありました）。東北大学の英語版公式ページでPlant Evolutionary Biologyを標榜するのは牧研究室のようです and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde s Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs. Rachel Lynde s door without due regard for decency and decorum; 「decency and decorum」どちらも、礼儀正しい、上品の意味。似た意味の言葉、しかも発音が似ている言葉を繰り返して、強調している。しつこくならないように和訳するのは難しいかも it probably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof. 「ferret」捜し（探り）出す／（白イタチを使って）狩りをする。名詞の ferret は白イタチ。白イタチ（ferret）から連想する何かがあるのでしょうか。それともこういうときは、これが普通なのかしら 「the whys and wherefores」いろいろな理由／原因。これも似た意味の言葉、しかも発音が似ている言葉を繰り返し。ですが、常套句のようです There are plenty of people in Avonlea and out of it, who can attend closely to their neighbor s business by dint of neglecting their own; but Mrs. Rachel Lynde was one of those capable creatures who can manage their own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain. She was a notable housewife; her work was always done and well done; she "ran" the Sewing Circle, helped run the Sunday-school, and was the strongest prop of the Church Aid Society and Foreign Missions Auxiliary. Yet with all this Mrs. Rachel found abundant time to sit for hours at her kitchen window, 「Mrs. Rachel」First name だけに Mrs を付けるのは、学校では習わなかった気がしますが、『アン』にはたくさんでてきます knitting "cotton warp" quilts-- 「knitting "cotton warp" quilts」松本訳注第1章(3) p. 450参照 she had knitted sixteen of them, as Avonlea housekeepers were wont to tell in awed voices--and keeping a sharp eye on the main road that crossed the hollow and wound up the steep red hill beyond. Since Avonlea occupied a little triangular peninsula jutting out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence with water on two sides of it, 「the Gulf of St. Lawrence」松本訳注第1章(4) p. 450参照 anybody who went out of it or into it had to pass over that hill road and so run the unseen gauntlet of Mrs. Rachel s all-seeing eye. She was sitting there one afternoon in early June. The sun was coming in at the window warm and bright; the orchard on the slope below the house was in a bridal flush of pinky- white bloom, hummed over by a myriad of bees. Thomas Lynde-- a meek little man whom Avonlea people called "Rachel Lynde s husband"--was sowing his late turnip seed on the hill field beyond the barn; 「turnip」カブ Brassica rapa 写真はウィキペディア（英語版）にあります。たぶん今日本で栽培しているものよりも小さい and Matthew Cuthbert ought to have been sowing his on the big red brook field away over by Green Gables. 「Matthew Cuthbert」松本訳注第1章(5) p. 451参照 「Green Gables」松本訳注第1章(6) p. 451参照 Mrs. Rachel knew that he ought 「he ought」to have been sowing ... が省略されている because she had heard him tell Peter Morrison the evening before in William J. Blair s store over at Carmody that he meant to sow his turnip seed the next afternoon. Peter had asked him, of course, for Matthew Cuthbert had never been known to volunteer information about anything in his whole life. And yet here was Matthew Cuthbert, at half-past three on the afternoon of a busy day, placidly driving over the hollow and up the hill; moreover, he wore a white collar and his best suit of clothes, 「a white collar and his best suit of clothes」まさに一張羅。カラーを付けるというよりは、カラーのある服を着ているということではないかと思いますが……、どうなんでしょう、このころの男性ファッションは。カラーがセパレートなのはよっぽど大きなカラーということになろうかと思いますが。とすると、「白襟のシャツと最上の上着を着こみ」といったところでしょうか which was plain proof that he was going out of Avonlea; and he had the buggy 「buggy」二人乗りの馬車 and the sorrel mare, which betokened that he was going a considerable distance. Now, where was Matthew Cuthbert going and why was he going there? Had it been any other man in Avonlea, 「Had it been ...」仮定法 Mrs. Rachel, deftly putting this and that together, might have given a pretty good guess as to both questions. But Matthew so rarely went from home that it must be something pressing and unusual which was taking him; he was the shyest man alive and hated to have to go among strangers or to any place where he might have to talk. Matthew, dressed up with a white collar and driving in a buggy, was something that didn t happen often. Mrs. Rachel, ponder as she might, could make nothing of it and her afternoon s enjoyment was spoiled. "I ll just step over to Green Gables after tea 「after tea」ということは夕方。 and find out from Marilla where he s gone and why," 「Marilla」松本訳注第1章(7) p. 451参照 the worthy woman finally concluded. "He doesn t generally go to town this time of year and he NEVER visits; if he d run out of turnip seed he wouldn t dress up and take the buggy to go for more; he wasn t driving fast enough to be going for a doctor. Yet something must have happened since last night to start him off. I m clean puzzled, that s what, and I won t know a minute s peace of mind or conscience until I know what has taken Matthew Cuthbert out of Avonlea today." Accordingly after tea Mrs. Rachel set out; she had not far to go; the big, rambling, orchard-embowered house where the Cuthberts lived was a scant quarter of a mile up the road from Lynde s Hollow. To be sure, the long lane made it a good deal further. Matthew Cuthbert s father, as shy and silent as his son after him, had got as far away as he possibly could from his fellow men without actually retreating into the woods when he founded his homestead. 「when he founded his homestead」マシューのお父さんが開墾したようですね Green Gables was built at the furthest edge of his cleared land and there it was to this day, barely visible from the main road along which all the other Avonlea houses were so sociably situated. Mrs. Rachel Lynde did not call living in such a place LIVING at all. "It s just STAYING, that s what," she said as she stepped along the deep-rutted, grassy lane bordered with wild rose bushes. 「deep-rutted、grassy lane」深い轍のある、ということは、草の生えた小径とはいえ、普段馬車か荷車が通れるだけの幅がある。同じ lane でも Lover s Lane（恋人たちの小径（CHAPTER XV with impression? A Tempest in the School Teapot））は、普段は牛の歩くところなので、深い轍はなく狭い 「rose」Rosa sp. バラはややこしくてよくわかりません。ただ、俗称として wild rose というなら、花弁が八重ではないものでしょう。なので、例えば、こんな感じ "It s no wonder Matthew and Marilla are both a little odd, living away back here by themselves. Trees aren t much company, though dear knows if they were there d be enough of them. 「dear knows」= God knows 誰も知らない I d ruther look at people. To be sure, they seem contented enough; but then, I suppose, they re used to it. A body can get used to anything, even to being hanged, as the Irishman said." 「as the Irishman said」松本訳注第1章(8) p. 451参照 With this Mrs. Rachel stepped out of the lane into the backyard of Green Gables. Very green and neat and precise was that yard, set about on one side with great patriarchal willows 「willows」ヤナギ。Salix sp. ヤナギ属には大きなものから草丈ほどの小さなもの（極寒の種類らしい）もあるそうです。しかしここでは、家の主のような大きな木。写真はウィキペディア（英）、やウィキペディア（日）をどうぞ and the other with prim Lombardies. 「Lombardies」= Lombardy poplars セイヨウハコヤナギ。いわゆるポプラ。Populus nigra var. italica。 北海道大学のポプラ並木と同じ種類のようです。写真はウィキペディアにあります。ポプラもヤナギ科だとは知りませんでした。このイタリア原産の背の高いポプラのことをわざわざ Lombardies（複数なのは１本じゃないだけ）とするのは、ちょっと気取っているような気がしますが、気のせい？ Not a stray stick nor stone was to be seen, for Mrs. Rachel would have seen it if there had been. Privately she was of the opinion that Marilla Cuthbert swept that yard over as often as she swept her house. One could have eaten a meal off the ground without overbrimming the proverbial peck of dirt. 「the proverbial peck of dirt」松本訳注第1章(9) p. 452参照 Mrs. Rachel rapped smartly at the kitchen door and stepped in when bidden to do so. The kitchen at Green Gables was a cheerful apartment-- 「apartment」部屋 or would have been cheerful 「would have been cheerfu」仮定法 if it had not been so painfully clean as to give it something of the appearance of an unused parlor. Its windows looked east and west; through the west one, looking out on the back yard, came a flood of mellow June sunlight; but the east one, whence you got a glimpse of the bloom white cherry-trees in the left orchard 「white cherry-trees in the left orchard 」果樹園にある桜の木ということはサクランボの木。ですので、sour cherry Prunus cerasus ではないでしょうか。実の写真はウィキペディア（英）にあります。サクラ全般についてはウィキペディア（英）もどうぞ and nodding, slender birches down in the hollow by the brook, 「birch」カバ。ここでは幹の白いカバかと思います。このあと、何度も white birch が出てくるので。とすると、幹の白いカバは、Betula papyrifera。写真はウィキペディア（英）にあります。この白いカバの分布はeFloras.org（英）をどうぞ。日本のシラカバ（Betula platyphylla var. japonica）とは別種らしい（ウィキペディア（日）にはそうある。こちらにも写真はありますが、見た目はよくわかりません） was greened over by a tangle of vines. 「vine」つた、か何か、のツル植物。この記述だけではよくわかりません（やはりキャベンディッシュに行かないとわからないことがある……） Here sat Marilla Cuthbert, when she sat at all, always slightly distrustful of sunshine, which seemed to her too dancing and irresponsible a thing for a world which was meant to be taken seriously; and here she sat now, knitting, and the table behind her was laid for supper. 「supper」夕食。『赤毛のアン』では食事を表わす表現がいくつも出てきて、難しい。dinner、tea、supper、lunch。同じことをふたつで指すこともあって。朝食は breakfast だけですが Mrs. Rachel, before she had fairly closed the door, had taken a mental note of everything that was on that table. There were three plates laid, so that Marilla must be expecting some one home with Matthew to tea; 「tea」これは上で出てきた、supper を指す but the dishes were everyday dishes and there was only crab-apple preserves and one kind of cake, 「only crab-apple preserves」松本訳注第1章(10) p. 452参照 「crab-apple」野生のりんご。Malus sp. crabappleと呼ぶのはいろいろな種があるようですが、いずれも実の小さい野生りんご。写真はウィキペディア（英）にあります（わかりづらいかもしれません） so that the expected company could not be any particular company. Yet what of Matthew s white collar and the sorrel mare? Mrs. Rachel was getting fairly dizzy with this unusual mystery about quiet, unmysterious Green Gables. "Good evening, Rachel," Marilla said briskly. 「briskly」マリラがきびきびと答えを返しているので、このあとリンド夫人が体を心配しているというのが、ずれている感じを強調する "This is a real fine evening, isn t it? Won t you sit down? How are all your folks?" Something that for lack of any other name might be called friendship existed and always had existed between Marilla Cuthbert and Mrs. Rachel, in spite of--or perhaps because of--their dissimilarity. Marilla was a tall, thin woman, with angles and without curves; her dark hair showed some gray streaks and was always twisted up in a hard little knot behind with two wire hairpins stuck aggressively through it. She looked like a woman of narrow experience and rigid conscience, which she was; but there was a saving something about her mouth which, if it had been ever so slightly developed, might have been considered indicative of a sense of humor. このマリラの描写は、CHAPTER XXXIII with impression The Hotel Concert で比較される "We re all pretty well," said Mrs. Rachel. "I was kind of afraid YOU weren t, though, when I saw Matthew starting off today. I thought maybe he was going to the doctor s." Marilla s lips twitched understandingly. She had expected Mrs. Rachel up; she had known that the sight of Matthew jaunting off so unaccountably would be too much for her neighbor s curiosity. "Oh, no, I m quite well although I had a bad headache yesterday," she said. "Matthew went to Bright River. 「only crab-apple preserves」松本訳注第1章(11) p. 452参照 We re getting a little boy from an orphan asylum in Nova Scotia 「Nova Scotia」ノヴァスコシア（松本訳）。アルファベット表記を見ると、New Scotland のこととわかる（たぶんラテン語化している） and he s coming on the train tonight." If Marilla had said that Matthew had gone to Bright River to meet a kangaroo from Australia 「a kangaroo from Australia」オーストラリアからやって来たカンガルー。大英帝国の一員のオーストラリアには親しみがあるのでしょうね Mrs. Rachel could not have been more astonished. She was actually stricken dumb for five seconds. 「actually stricken dumb for five seconds」ここで、actually striken としているのは、口も聞けないほど唖然としてという例えとして dumb を使うことがあるのですが、ここでは、本当に５秒間も口を聞かなかった、と強調している。しかし……、この表現は面白いのでしょうか？？？ It was unsupposable that Marilla was making fun of her, but Mrs. Rachel was almost forced to suppose it. "Are you in earnest, Marilla?" she demanded when voice returned to her. 「voice returned to her」本当に口が聞けなくなったので、声が出せるようになって、という話の流れ "Yes, of course," said Marilla, as if getting boys from orphan asylums in Nova Scotia were part of the usual spring work on any well-regulated Avonlea farm instead of being an unheard of innovation. Mrs. Rachel felt that she had received a severe mental jolt. She thought in exclamation points. A boy! Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of all people adopting a boy! From an orphan asylum! Well, the world was certainly turning upside down! She would be surprised at nothing after this! Nothing! "What on earth put such a notion into your head?" she demanded disapprovingly. This had been done without her advice being asked, and must perforce be disapproved. "Well, we ve been thinking about it for some time-- 「it」孤児をもらうこと。どれを指すのかは……よくわかりませんが「We are getting ... tonight」でしょうか all winter in fact," returned Marilla. "Mrs. Alexander Spencer was up here one day before Christmas 「Mrs. Alexander Spencer」夫人の名前（first name）を出さない表現。アレクザンダー・スペンサーの夫人。Mrs. Rachel とはいちばん離れた表現。あまり親しくないか、リンド夫人はよく知らないだろうことを考えてか and she said she was going to get a little girl from the asylum over in Hopeton in the spring. Her cousin lives there and Mrs. Spencer has visited here and knows all about it. 「Mrs. Spencer has visited here」スペンサー夫人がやってきて。ここは、Puffin Books版では「Mrs. Spencer has visited her」スペンサー夫人がその従姉妹のところを訪れて。となっていて全然意味が違っている。文脈からすれば、これは、her（従姉妹）を訪れることにならないと通じない。「従姉妹は lives で住んでいる（事実）、スペンサー夫人は has visited で訪れたことがある（経験）、だから、スペンサー夫人は知っている（knows：結果としての事実）となるのでしょうから So Matthew and I have talked it over off and on ever since. 「it」これも前と同じ、孤児をもらうこと We thought we d get a boy. Matthew is getting up in years, you know--he s sixty-- and he isn t so spry as he once was. His heart troubles him a good deal. And you know how desperate hard it s got to be to get hired help. 「how desperate hard」hard は desperate を修飾する副詞 There s never anybody to be had but those stupid, half-grown little French boys; 「half-grown little French boys」松本訳注第1章(12) p. 452参照 and as soon as you do get one broke into your ways 「broke into」break into ～の状態になる and taught something he s up and off to the lobster canneries or the States. 「the lobster canneries」松本訳注第1章(13) p. 453参照 At first Matthew suggested getting a Home boy. But I said `no flat to that. `They may be all right--I m not saying they re not--but no London street Arabs for me, I said. 「street Arabs」浮浪児。Puffin Books版では、street arabs と a が小文字。たぶん、今なら、arab の単語は使わないでしょうね。PC の時代ですから（politically correct） `Give me a native born at least. There ll be a risk, no matter who we get. But I ll feel easier in my mind and sleep sounder at nights if we get a born Canadian. So in the end we decided to ask Mrs. Spencer to pick us out one when she went over to get her little girl. We heard last week she was going, so we sent her word by Richard Spencer s folks at Carmody to bring us a smart, likely boy of about ten or eleven. We decided that would be the best age--old enough to be of some use in doing chores right off 「chore」（家・農場の）雑用 and young enough to be trained up proper. We mean to give him a good home and schooling. 「a good home and schooling」これは、アンが来てからしばらくの間、マシューとマリラの間で話し合われたこともない（物語の上では記述がない）ので、アンが女の子であるからといって、ふたりの気持ちは大きな変化はなかったに違いありません。明確に話が出るのは、クイーン学院に行かせようかどうかというところくらいでしょうか（CHAPTER XXV with impression]] Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves） We had a telegram from Mrs. Alexander Spencer today--the mail-man brought it from the station-- 「We had a telegram from Mrs. Alexander Spencer today--the mail-man brought it from the station--」電報の場合は駅から直接配ってくれたようですね。カナダの電信の歴史はよくわかりませんが、鉄道を敷くと、線路に沿って電信線を伸ばしたのかもしれませんが……。そこまで電化が進んでいないでしょうねぇ。とすると、これはそうじゃなくて、シャーロットタウンに電信を受けるところがあって（郵便局かもしれません）、そこから郵便とともに電報も列車で運ばれ、郵便局の人は電報を配ってくれたのでしょうか saying they were coming on the five-thirty train tonight. So Matthew went to Bright River to meet him. Mrs. Spencer will drop him off there. Of course she goes on to White Sands station herself." 「White Sands」松本訳注第1章(14) p. 453参照 Mrs. Rachel prided herself on always speaking her mind; she proceeded to speak it now, having adjusted her mental attitude to this amazing piece of news. "Well, Marilla, I ll just tell you plain that I think you re doing a mighty foolish thing--a risky thing, that s what. You don t know what you re getting. You re bringing a strange child into your house and home 「your house and home」建物／敷地としての house と 家族の中に入り込む家庭としての home の概念を区別。日本語では上手く書き分けるのは難しいところ and you don t know a single thing about him nor what his disposition is like nor what sort of parents he had nor how he s likely to turn out. Why, it was only last week I read in the paper how a man and his wife up west of the Island took a boy out of an orphan asylum and he set fire to the house at night--set it ON PURPOSE, Marilla--and nearly burnt them to a crisp in their beds. And I know another case where an adopted boy used to suck the eggs--they couldn t break him of it. If you had asked my advice in the matter--which you didn t do, Marilla--I d have said for mercy s sake not to think of such a thing, that s what." This Job s comforting seemed neither to offend nor to alarm Marilla. 「Job s comforting」松本訳注第1章(15) p. 453参照 She knitted steadily on. 「She knitted steadily on.」気持ちをその人の行動で表現する。驚くなり動揺したなら編み物を止めるはず、という前提がある（しつこい？ だったらごめんななさい） "I don t deny there s something in what you say, Rachel. I ve had some qualms myself. But Matthew was terrible set on it. I could see that, so I gave in. It s so seldom Matthew sets his mind on anything that when he does I always feel it s my duty to give in. And as for the risk, there s risks in pretty near everything a body does in this world. There s risks in people s having children of their own if it comes to that--they don t always turn out well. And then Nova Scotia is right close to the Island. It isn t as if we were getting him from England or the States. He can t be much different from ourselves." "Well, I hope it will turn out all right," said Mrs. Rachel in a tone that plainly indicated her painful doubts. "Only don t say I didn t warn you if he burns Green Gables down or puts strychnine in the well--I heard of a case over in New Brunswick where an orphan asylum child did that and the whole family died in fearful agonies. Only, it was a girl in that instance." "Well, we re not getting a girl," said Marilla, as if poisoning wells were a purely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in the case of a boy. "I d never dream of taking a girl to bring up. 「I d never dream of taking a girl to bring up.」女の子を育てようとはしていない、と強調。さらに次の文でも。アンが来たときの状況の伏線となる。アンが来ることは、読者にとってはほとんど自明なので（本の題名からしても、そして、きっと本の紹介でもアンが来ることは書かれるでしょうから）、来てどうなるかの伏線と考えなければなるまい、と思うのです I wonder at Mrs. Alexander Spencer for doing it. But there, SHE wouldn t shrink from adopting a whole orphan asylum if she took it into her head." Mrs. Rachel would have liked to stay until Matthew came home with his imported orphan. But reflecting that it would be a good two hours at least before his arrival she concluded to go up the road to Robert Bell s and tell the news. It would certainly make a sensation second to none, and Mrs. Rachel dearly loved to make a sensation. So she took herself away, somewhat to Marilla s relief, for the latter felt her doubts and fears reviving under the influence of Mrs. Rachel s pessimism. "Well, of all things that ever were or will be!" ejaculated Mrs. Rachel when she was safely out in the lane. "It does really seem as if I must be dreaming. Well, I m sorry for that poor young one and no mistake. Matthew and Marilla don t know anything about children and they ll expect him to be wiser and steadier that his own grandfather, if so be s he ever had a grandfather, 「if so be s he ever had a grandfather」be s がよくわからない。be は be動詞で、仮定法で原型になっているのでしょうけれども、 sが何なのかが…… そこで「"if so be s"」をキーワードにして、検索をしてみたら、面白いページ発見（ここ）。日本人がわからないと質問し、ネイティブ英語話者があーかも、こーかも、と書いています。日本人がわからなくても、ここは、おっけいなのです！議論を読み解くのは何か混乱してしまうのですが、be s は、be as の略と考えればよさそうです。この議論（というか質疑というか）から受け取れるメッセージは、１．古い英語なので現代英語と違うところがある、２．この英語表現はアナタは使ってはいけない、３．『赤毛のアン』は多少難しいところもあるけれも面白いからがんばって読んでね、です。これから英語で読もうとしている方にははげみになるでしょう！ジツはこの第１章の印象を書くのは全部読んだ後なので、ワタシへの励ましには時すでに遅し、でしたが（印象は第26章から書きはじめ、最後まで書いたので第１章に戻ってきたのです） which is doubtful. It seems uncanny to think of a child at Green Gables somehow; there s never been one there, for Matthew and Marilla were grown up when the new house was built-- 「the new house was built」今のグリーンゲイブルズができたときには、マシューもマリラも大きくなっていた。その前はどうだったのでしょう……。建て替え、かしら if they ever WERE children, which is hard to believe when one looks at them. I wouldn t be in that orphan s shoes for anything. My, but I pity him, that s what." So said Mrs. Rachel to the wild rose bushes out of the fulness of her heart; but if she could have seen the child who was waiting patiently at the Bright River station at that very moment her pity would have been still deeper and more profound.

あの春の騒動。 天蓋領域としては一敗地にまみれたわけではあるが、インターフェースとしてはその限りではなかった。 性能的には情報統合思念体を上回るものであり、そのテストとしては満足いくものであった。 しかし。誤算もまたあった。 『インターフェースの自我の発生』 インターフェース名、周防九曜。 このインターフェースは、春の騒動以来行動を起こすようになった。 それだけに破棄を目論んでいたのだが、手出し出来ない次元に再度このインターフェースは送られた。 理由は不明。理由などないのかも知れない。 だが。これは好機でもある。 情報統合思念体を倒す、そして。神の力をあの少女に移し、自らの影響力を最大に発揮するまたとない機会。 天蓋領域は、現在をそう位置付けた。 一方、情報統合思念体は今回を、情報フレアの観測のチャンスだと位置付けている。 仮に観測されるならば、と思い、インターフェースの申請に従い朝倉涼子を再度送り込んだ。 『未来』のインターフェースも現代に通信し、天蓋領域のプロトコルを送ってきたのも、望外の幸運であった。 インターフェース名『長門有希』。 今暫くは、彼女に全権を与えるのも悪くない。 だが。対策も打っておく。 情報観測の機会は多い程に良い。 情報統合思念体は、そう考えた。 ―――――――――――――――― あの春の騒動が発端となった、今回。渡橋は全てを知っている。 自らがどのような力を持ち、どのような手段を用いてどのような結末を辿ったかも。 それは傷となり、一生消えない汚点として彼女の中に残った。 だからこそ、今。『自分はここにいる。』 自分の鎖。それは時を越える位に強い。昨日の夜に会った、愛する人。 彼は『いつでも』自分の側にいてくれる。それは、自分が『望んだ』から。 この汚点は、消してはいけないものだ。だが。 『鎖』を外した未来があってもいいはずだ。 ただ、それは『望み』でなく『たられば』。願ってはいないし、仮にそう望まれないならば、それは自分の汚点だと考えていた部分は思い違いとなる。 そうあって欲しいが、願ってはいない。何故なら。自分の願いは全て、ジョン・スミスが叶えてくれたから。だから、願う事はしない。 時空を越えた今も――――それは絶対に変わらない。 自分はハルヒの側で、彼女の納得いく結末を見届ける。 それが、どのような結末であっても。 橘京子は、久々に浮き立っていた。 「明日は、もっといい日になりそうなのです！」 佐々木からのメールで、自分も明日は古泉達に会えるようだ。 お風呂に入り、身を清めて何かあってもいいように準備は万全。 財布に近藤さん、そして多少多目の金額を持っていく。 まぁ、これは完全に不測の事態に備えてだ。 「んんっ、もう！ダメなのですよ！」 ここが彼女の自宅、そしてお風呂であった事は幸いであろう。 真っ赤になった彼女は、どこからどう見ても色ボケ以外何者でもないから……。 賢明な読者諸氏は、彼女が辿る運命……いや、未来については御理解されているであろう。 全てが終わったあと。彼女は長門とみくるに尋ねた。 「私が幸せになるシーケンスは存在するのですか……？」 「何をもって幸せとするか、私には判断出来ない。」 「すみません。禁則事項です。」 当然ながら、答えて貰えるわけもなく。 橘は、みくるに迫った。 「ないとは言えないのですよね？！」 「ふええ！こ、古泉くんと幸せになります！」 泣きそうな顔になりながら、みくるが答えた。 「良かったぁ……」 胸を撫で下ろす橘だが…… 「朝比奈みくる。あなたは未来に関しての話題で確定した事を話す時は、嘘しか言えない。本当に確定した事は、言葉にならないはず。」 「ふぅえ？！な、長門さん！しーですよ、しー！」 みくるが真っ赤になる。 「あ、あはは…………」 ということは。どう足掻いても絶望。そう言えるだろう。 「すまない。」 橘は、長門の言葉に奈落に落とされた。 「不幸なのです……」 がっくりと肩を落とす橘。 何をもって幸せとするか、判断が難しいのだが……どちらかというと絶対に不幸な方の橘京子であった……。 To Be Continued 『Cross Road』3
