対訳短編 | 高田のBBA
昔、とあるところに住んでいたとき、近所にチョイと口うるさいおばさんが住んでいた。本名は違うけれど、仮に「高田のババ」と名付けておこう。
When I lived in a certain town many years ago, there lived a very talkative old woman in my neighborhood. She has a real surname, but let's call her Takada-no-baba.
高田のババはいつも人のうわさをアレコレ言っていた。ウソ八百ならば誰も信じないが、本当のことを少しまぜるからみんな、そんなこともあるのかなぁ？、と信じてしまうのだ。
Takada-no-baba ia always talking about this and that and she is spreading one rumor after another. Nobody would believe what she says if she only told a pack of lies. However, what she says has some truth. As she is a skillful liar, everyone tends to be deceived.
あのうちの旦那はね、毎週金曜日の夜、浮気しているのよ。ラブホに消えていくところを確かに見た。男ってのは、常に若い女を求めるバカな生き物だけど、奥さんが可哀想だわぁ。
The husband in your neighborhood has a date with a young girl every Friday. I saw them enter "a love hotel". A man is such a creature foolish enough to seek a young pretty girl invariably. I totally sympathize with his wife.
あそこんちの息子は、アホで三流大学にさえ受からなかったらしいよ。
I've heard the son in his neighborhood is so foolish that he failed to pass even the third-rate university.
ちなみに、高田のBBAは、アミダばばぁに似ている。
By the way, she takes after, what is called, Amida-BBA.
