ラジオ英会話　A Dead Secret　Act Two　葬られた秘密 第２幕　Tuesday, November 27

　　Below they consulted together; and the mother of Osano’s husband said: “A woman is fond of her small things; and Osano was much attached to her belongings. Perhaps she has come back to look at them. Many dead persons will do that―unless the things be given to the parish temple. If we present Osono’s robes and girdles to the temple, her spirit will probably find rest.” It was agreed that this should be done as soon as possible.
●consult　相談する　●be attached to …　…に執着している　●belongings　所持品
●will do that　それをするものだ（習慣を表す will ）●parish temple　菩提寺
●robes and girdles　着物や帯　●find rest　安息を見出す、迷わず成仏する

　　So on the following morning the drawers were emptied; and all of Osono’s ornaments and dresses were taken to the temple. But she came back the next night, and looked at the tansu as before. And she came back also on the night following, and the night after that, and every night;―and the house became a house of fear.
●a house of fear　恐怖の館

　　The mother of Osano’s husband then went to the parish temple, and told the chief priest all that had happened, and asked for ghostly counsel. The temple was a Zen temple; and the head priest was learned old man, known as Daigen Oshio. He said, “There must be something about which she is anxious, in or near that tanse.” “But we emptied all the drawers,” replied the woman, “there is nothing in the tansu.” “Well,” said Daigen Osho, “tonight I shall go to your house, and keep watch in that room, and see what can be done. You must give orders that no person shall enter the room while I am watching, unless I call.”
●chief priest　住職　●ask for counsel　相談をしてみる　●learned　博識の
●anxious　気にかかる　●keep watch　見張る　●give orders　命令を出す

　　After sundown, Daigen Osho went to the house, and found the room made ready for him. He remained there alone, reading the sutras; and nothing appeared until after the Hour of the Rat. Then the figure of Osono suddenly outlined itself in front of the tansu. Her face had a wistful look; and she kept her eyes fixed upon the tansu.
●sundown　日暮れ　●sutras　お経、経典　●the Hour of the Rat　子の刻
●outline　輪郭が浮かぶ　●wistful　ものほしそうな　
●keep one’s eyes fixed upon …　…から目を離さない

〇散りゆく葉を見て、多くの日本人が命のはかなさや、切なさを感じます。日本人が落ち葉にさえ特別な意味合いを見いだしてきたのはそのためです。
Seeing the fallen leaves, many Japanese are reminded of the transience of life and feel a sense of wistfulness. That's why they've always found a special meaning even in the fallen leaves.
