To kill a Mockingbird (アラバマ物語)
Harper Lee
弁護士の父親と幼い兄妹の日常を子供の目線で描くアメリカ文学の名作
★★☆ English level
Atticus said to Jem one day, "I'd rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." (chapter 10より)
Of Human Bondage (人間の絆)
W. Somerset Maugham
生きる意味を模索するフィリップの成長の軌跡を描いた、文豪モームの自伝的小説。
★★☆ English level
His life had seemed horrible when it was measured by its happiness, but now he seemed to gather strength as he realized that it might be measured by something else. Happiness mattered as little as pain. They came in, both of them, as all the other details of his life came in, to the elaboration of the design. He seemed for an instant to stand above the accidents of his existence, and he felt that they could not affect him again as they had done before. Whatever happened to him now would be more motive to add to the complexity of the pattern, and when the end approached he would rejoice in its completion. It would be a work of art, and it would be none the less beautiful because he alone knew of its existence, and with his death it would at once cease to be.
Philip was happy. (chapter 106より)
Anne of Green Gables (赤毛のアン)
L. M Montgomery
一度は原書で挑戦してみたい時代を超えて愛されるアンの成長物語
★★☆ English level
”--When I lived with Mrs. Thomas she has a bookcase in her sitting room with glass doors. There weren't any books in it; Mrs.Thomas kept her best china and her preserves there--when she had any preserves to keep. One of the doors was broken. Mr. Thomas smashed it one night when he was slightly intoxicated. But the other was whole and I used to pretend that my reflection in it was another little girl who lived in it. I called her Katie Maurice, and we were very intimate. I used to talk to her by the hour, especially on Sunday, and tell her everything. Katie was the comfort and consolation of my life.--”
(chapter 8より)
In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.
One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and -pop !- out of the egg
came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.
One day the ducklings hatched out. First came Jack, then Kack, and then Lack, then Mack and Nack and Ouack and Pack and Quack.
Once upon a time there was a Little House way out in the country. She was a pretty Little House and she was strong and well built. The man who built her so well said, "This Little House shall never be sold for gold or silver and she will live to see our great-great-grandchildren's great-great-grandchildren living in her." |
Hey diddle diddle,
the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such fun,
And the dish ran away
with the spoon.
