「世界中のどこかの片隅で」
グラストンベリの魔女2
それで?
And then?
今日は相談があってまいりました
I've come to you today for advice.
わかっちょるよ。それ以外の用事で来る者はおらんけん
I know. No one comes here for any other reason.
実はね、伴侶が欲しいのですが、それがなかなか
Actually, I'm looking for a life partner, but it's proving quite difficult.
それ、どのくらいになるの
How long has that been the case?
30年になんなんとしますか
It's been almost thirty years.
長いのう。人殺したって、そんなにはくらわん
That's a long time. Even a murderer wouldn't get a sentence that long.
これは、刑罰なんでしょうか
Is this some kind of punishment?
セックスに興味は?
Are you interested in sex?
実は私、エッチなほうで、大いにあります
Actually, I'm quite a passionate person, very much so.
刑罰やな、それは。まだ立つん?
The punishment, alright. Do you still get erections?
はい。けれども、50も越えて、なにかこう純粋に人が恋しくなりまして
Yes. But now that I'm over fifty, I find myself purely longing for human connection.
わかる。うちもや
I understand. Me too.
おお、魔女のかたでもですか。そんなことは超越した存在かと・・・思っていました
Oh, even for a witch? I thought you were a transcendent being...
なんも、超越なんぞしとらんけん。俗物や
Not at all, I haven't transcended anything. I'm just a mundane person.
一説には、ホウキの柄など使うとか
Some say you use broomsticks, for instance.
ああ、それな、好事家のウソや。そんなんで気持ちいいわけないっちゃ。考えてもみや
Ah, that. That's a lie spread by dilettantes. There's no way that would feel good. Just think about it.
なるほど、確かに
I see, you have a point.
そんなら、タロットでもやろか
In that case, shall we do a Tarot reading?
はい。お願いします
Yes, please.
で、これは微妙やな。あんさんの決意次第のようや
Hmm, this is a tricky one. It seems to depend on your resolve.
そんな。よく当たるときいてきましたが、それでは
What? I heard you were very accurate, but then...
そんな評判もあるか知らんけん、占いは本質的には人生相談や。カードがズバリ当てることもあるけん、大切なのは相手の問題を理解することや
I don't know about that reputation, but fortune-telling is essentially life counseling. While the cards can be spot on, the most important thing is to understand the other person's problems.
はあ、しかし、決意でなんとかなるものなら、来てませんよ。ここ
Huh, but if it were something I could resolve with sheer determination, I wouldn't have come here.
教えたる。下腹あたりで探るんよ。相手によってはひどく疲れる。なにがしかのエネルギー交換があるようなんや。それがうちの相談や
I'll tell you. You search around your lower abdomen. Some partners can be incredibly draining. It's like there's some kind of energy exchange. That's my advice.
それは、気とか、そういうものですか?
Is that like 'qi' or something similar?
ようは知らん。どこかで勉強したわけでもないし
I don't really know. I haven't studied it anywhere.
魔法学校とか、行ってないんですか
You didn't go to a magic school or anything?
あんさんなあ。もしかしてハリポツなんぞがホントの話やと思うちょったらいかんよ
Oh, come on. You shouldn't be thinking Harry Potter is real, you know.
えっ? あれはウソなんですか?
Really? That's a lie?
魔術が学校で習えるわけもない
Magic can't be learned in a school.
でも、呪文とかは、どこかで学ばないといけないでしょう
But you'd have to learn spells somewhere, wouldn't you?
そんなのなんでもええんよ。チチンプイでも。要は力があるかどうか。マジかどうかや
Any of that is fine, even "Abracadabra." The point is whether you have the power. Whether it's real.
ははあ。おもしろい
I see. Interesting.
せやろ。ほなら、うちとどう?
Right? So, how about with me?
はい?
What do you mean?
うちとどうか?
How about me?
もしかして、あなたがねんごろになってくださると?
Are you suggesting... you would be intimate with me?
せや
Yeah.
それはちょっと、なんですね
Well, that's a bit... no.
なんでやの
Why not?
怖いというか
More like... I'm scared.
女なんぞ、みんなこわいもんや。やっぱり、あんさん覚悟が足りんようやな
All women are scary, you know. It seems you're still not prepared enough.
・・・
(Silence)
20ポンドいただきます。やってもやらんでも
That'll be 20 pounds. Whether you do it or not.
ありがとうございました。帰ります
Thank you. I'm going home.
やらんのけ
You're not going to do it?
帰ります。このまま
I'm going home, alive.
