質問: わからない個所を教えてください。2 ‘maybe he’s a vampire,’ jamie says. ‘yeah.’ i think for a moment, and something else comes back to me. ‘i think he used to be that other thing,’ i say vaguely. the word hits. ‘politician.’ jamie says, ‘i’ve got a whole story about vampires from a haunted tomb in one of these.’ he indicates the several stacks of comics that are lined up against the wall of his room. (前回の終わりの部分です) jamie’s bedroom isn’t anything like mine. my room is quite small, with a ceiling that slopes down from the door to the window. under my window is the gentle pitch of the kitchen roof; if i crane my head far out to the left, i can see the end of my mother’s verandah roof at the back of the house, where the iron stove-pipe of the little fat stove comes up through it. my bed is against one wall, and a wardrobe stands by the door that leads through to the back bedroom that is sometimes lena’s. i have a little cupboard of toys, too, and some big picture-books which i still love and look at, though i know my father doesn’t like them. apart from these things, my room is quite bare: the walls are pale, the ceiling white, the surround of the window dark wood. the best thing is the view: right along the row of our neighbours’ houses and up the valley. ****************************************** 主人公のalexはartistで、展示会に備えるために、幼い頃過ごしたイタリアに戻ってきています。この英文は幼い頃の回想シーンです。 under my window is the gentle pitch of the kitchen roofの中の、 the gentle pitchとはどういうものなのでしょうか? my bed is against one wall, and a wardrobe stands by the door that leads through to the back bedroom that is sometimes lena’s.について、and a wardrobe stands~の意味なのですが、洋服ダンスはドアのそばにある、、、次のleads through to the back bedroom that is sometimes lena’sのところが意味がとれません。ときどきlenaのベッドルームになる後ろを通って??? right along the row of our neighbours’ houses and up the valley.の出だしのrightは右側という意味ですか? 教えてください。お願いします。
回答: 1。under my window is the gentle pitch of the kitchen roofの中の、 the gentle pitchとはどういうものなのでしょうか? 傾斜が、緩やかな、と言う意味です。 2。my bed is against one wall, and a wardrobe stands by the door that leads through to the back bedroom that is sometimes lena’s.について、and a wardrobe stands~の意味なのですが、洋服ダンスはドアのそばにある、、、次のleads through to the back bedroom that is sometimes lena’sのところが意味がとれません。ときどきlenaのベッドルームになる後ろを通って??? 私のベッドは、一方の壁側にあり、ドアの横には洋服ダンスがある、このドアは(家の)裏の寝室に通じていて、この寝室は、時々レナが使う。 3。right along the row of our neighbours’ houses and up the valley.の出だしのrightは右側という意味ですか? いいえ、「まっすぐ」といった軽い意味です。ここでは見通しがいいことで、下記の副詞の2「まっすぐに」が近いでしょう。 http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=right 私の部屋の一番いい点といえば、眺めがいいことだろう、隣近所の家の並びがまっすぐ見えて例の谷までそっくり見える。
