『ホビットの冒険』を翻訳してみた　（パート１）

J・R・R・トールキンの有名なファンタジー小説のはじめの部分を翻訳してみた！

＝＝＝

このホビットは暮し向きが良くて、名前はバギンズだ。バギンズ一家はずっとヤマの近くに住んでいて、立派な一家だとみんなが思われている。それはお金があるからだけではなく、バギンズは冒険など以外な行動も全然しないからだ。バギンズに質問を聞かずにも、答えが分かるような一家だった。これは、あるバギンズが冒険を踏み出して、意外な行動をしたり思いがけないものを言ったりすると物語だ。お隣さんはバギンズに尊敬を失ったが、その代わりに、まあ―、得たものもあるだろう。

This is a story of how a Baggins had an adventure, found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected. He may have lost the neighbours' respect, but he gained-well, you will see whether he gained anything in the end. </span></span></span></span></span></span>
