Ⅲ．Snow Country　「雪国」　　Translated by Seidensticker (100)

　She was a mountain geisha, not yet twenty, and she could hardly be as good as all that, he told himself. And in spite of the fact that she was in a small room, was she not slamming away at the instrument as though she were on the stage? He was being carried away by his own mountain emotionalism. Komako purposely read the words in a monotone, now slowing down and now jumping over a passage that was too much trouble; but gradually she seemed to fall into a spell. As her voice rose higher, Shimamura began to feel a little frightened. How far would that strong, sure touch take him? He rolled over and pillowed his head on an arm, as if in bored indifference.
　The end of the song released him. Ah, this woman is in love with me―but he was annoyed with himself for the thought.
　Komako looked up at the clear sky over the snow. “The tone is different on a day like this.” The tone had been as rich and vibrant as her remark suggested. The air was different. There were no theater walks, there was no audience, there was none of the city dust. The notes went out crystalline into the clean winter morning, to sound on the far, snowy peaks.
　
　□ slam　①パタンと閉める　②力を入れてドシンと置く　③酷評する
　□ crystalline　透明な
(原作)
　十九や二十の田舎芸者の三味線なんか高が知れてるはずだ、お座敷だのにまるで舞台のように弾いてるじゃないか、おれ自身の山の感傷に過ぎんなどと、島村は思ってみようとしたし、駒子はわざと文句を棒読みしたり、ここはゆっくり、面倒臭いと言って飛ばしたりしたが、だんだん憑かれたように声も高まって来ると、撥の音がどこまで強く冴えるのかと、島村はこわくなって、虚勢を張るように肘枕で転がった。
　勧進帳が終ると島村はほっとして、ああ、この女はおれに惚れているのだと思ったが、それがまた情けなかった。
「こんな日は音がちがう。」と、雪の晴天を見上げて、駒子が言っただけのことはあった。空気も違うのである。劇場の壁もなければ、聴衆もなければ、都会の塵埃もなければ、音はただ純粋な冬の朝に澄み通って、遠くの雪の山々まで真直ぐに響いて行った。
