ラジオ英会話　　The Last Leaf　Act Four　最後の一葉　第４幕　　Thursday, March 30

　　“It is the last one,” said Johnsy. “I thought it would surely fall during the night. I heard the wind. It will fall today, and I shall die at the same time.”
　　“Dear, dear!” said Sue, leaning her worn face down to the pillow, “thanks of me, if you won’t think of yourself. What would I do?”
●lean　傾ける、かがむ　●worn　疲れ果てた　●pillow　クッション、まくら

　　But Johnsy did not answer. The lonesomest thing in all the world is a soul when it is making ready to go on its mysterious, far journey.
●lonesome　さびしい　●soul　人、魂

　　The day wore away, and even through the twilight they could see the lone ivy leaf clinging to its stem against the wall. And then, with the coming of the night the north wind was again loosed, while the rain still beat against the windows and pattered down from the low eaves.
●ware away　のろのろと過ぎる　●twilight　夕闇　●lone　ただ一つの
●clinging　まといつく　●stem　茎　●loosed　解き放たれた　●patter　音を立てる
●eaves　（家の）軒、ひさし

　　When it was light enough Johnsy, the merciless, commanded that the shade be raised.
　　The ivy leaf was still there.
　　Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it, And then she called to Sue, who was stirring her chicken broth over the gas stove.
●Johnsy, the merciless　無慈悲の権化ジョンジ―　●call to …　…を呼ぶ
●stir　かき混ぜる　●broth　スープ、煮汁

　　“I’ve been a bad girl, Sudie,” said Johnsy. “Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how wicked I was. It is a sin to want to die. You may bring me a little broth now, and some milk with a little port in it, and―no; bring me a hand-mirror first, and then pack some pillows about me, and I will sit up and watch you cook.”
●wicked　悪い、邪悪な　●sin　罪

　　And an hour later she said:
　　“Sudie, some day I hope to paint the Bay of Naples.”
　　The doctor came in the afternoon, and Sue had an excuse to go into the hallway as he left.
●excuse　口実

　　“Even chances,” said the doctor, taking Sue’s thin, shaking hand in his. “With good nursing you’ll win. And now I must see another case I have down stairs. Behrman, his name is―some kind of an artist, I believe. Pneumonia, too. He is an old weak man, and attack is acute. There is no hope for him; but he goes to the hospital today to be made more comfortable.”
●even chance　５分５分のチャンス　●acute　急性の
●There is no hope for …　助かる見込みはない

　　The next day the doctor said to Sue: “She’s out of danger. You’ve won. Nutrition and care now―that’s all.”
　　And that afternoon Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay, contentedly knitting a very blue and very useless woolen shoulder scarf, and put one arm around her, pillows and all.
●out of danger　峠はこした、危険はなくなった　●nutrition　栄養
●contentedly　満足そうに　●… and all　…や何やかや

　　“I have something to tell you, white mouse,” she said. “Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia today in the hospital. He was ill only two days, The janitor found him the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpless with pain. His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold. They couldn’t imagine where he had been in such a dreadful night. And then they found a lantern, still lighted, and ladder that had been dragged from its place, and some scattered brushes and a palette with green and yellow colors mixed on it, and―look out the window dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall.
Didn’t you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece―he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”
●janitor　管理人　●wet through　ずぶぬれになって　●dreadful　ひどい、恐ろしい
●drag　引っぱり出す　●flutter　はためく、ひらひらする

　　　　凍る静岡
昼休み富士山が真正面から見える富士市に行きました。つけ麺ナポリタンというＢ級グルメを食べました。桜エビがたくさん入っていました。３０分以上待ちましたので、昼休みの時間がなくなりました。富士山の写真は１枚だけです。明日アップします。
