== CHAPTER ONE (unfinished)== (Pixel and Aristoteles)[/center]
Here's my translation, based on what Pixel had already done. I
still need to fix some (or most) of the sentences, but I think
the story is much more clear now.
暗闇の中にティーダはいた。膝を抱えて、とろとろとしていると、突然頭の芯に映像が結ばれた。目玉が捕らえたものか、もとより記憶の中にあった光景なのか判然としない。
Tidus was surrounded by darkness. He held his knees as he
drifted off. Suddenly, an image appeared at the back of his
mind. What caught his eye wasn’t clear. From the start, he was
uncertain whether it was a scene from his memory.
広い背中に長い髪を垂らした男と、しなだれかかる細い女が見えだ。今はもういない、彼の両親だ。父親はある日姿を消し、母親は寂しさのあまり死んだ。自分が母親の慰めにはならないと知って深く傷ついた日の胸の痛みが蘇った。
A man with long hair hanging down his broad back, snuggling with
a beautiful, slender woman. They were his parents, now already
gone. One day his father disappeared, and his mother died of
overwhelming with loneliness. The pain he felt in his heart that
day, knowing that he couldn't console his mother, was revived.
次の瞬間、ティーダは大観衆の中にいた。嬌声に得意気な笑顔で応える。心の傷はどうやって癒やしたのだろう。不思議に思ったが居心地のよさに身を委ねていろうちに、疑問はどこかに溶けてしまった。
The next moment, Tidus was in a huge crowd. He responded to the
lovely voices with a proud smile. How could he heal the
emotional scars? It seemed to be able to heal the emotional
scars. He thought it was strange, but as he surrendered his body
to the comfort, that doubt melted away.
巨大な怪物が彼の街、ザナルカンドを襲った。怯えて逃げ惑う自分がおかしかった。
An enormous monster attacked his city, Zanarkand. He thought it
was strange that he was confused and running away, scared.
(大丈夫。あれはおまえを呼びに来ただけなんだ)
(Okay. I just came here to call you, that’s all)
やがてティーダはスピラの海を泳ぎ、大地に辿り着いた。故郷とはまったく違う世界のあり方に戸惑ったが、人の親切、優しきに触れ、どうにか笑顔を取り戻した。友人ができて、一緒に旅をすることになった。剣を振り回し、魔物と戦った。
Before long, Tidus was swimming in the sea of Spira, and arrived
on land. He was bewildered at how completely different this
world was to home. The kindness of the people, the gentle touch,
he regained his smile somehow. He made friends, and decided to
journey with them. He brandished a sword, and fought against
fiends.
気づくと、恋をしていた。気持ちを確かめ合った日に、別れが決まっていたような恋だった。運命とは認めたくなかったので抵抗したが、敵わなかった。
Then he realised, he was in love. On the day that they confirmed
their feelings for eachother, they realised it was a love that
could never be. He resisted, because he didn't want to accept
their fate, it was unbearable.
雲海が見えた。スピラを去った日の記憶だ。
I saw a sea of clouds. It’s a memory of the day I left Spira.
自分の背中があった。飛空艇の甲板を、空元気を振りまいて走り、飛んだ。
He was on his back. The deck of the airship, I summed up the
courage, ran, and leapt.
胸が千切れそうに痛んだ。
My heart ached like it had been torn out.
(ユウナー)
(Yuna)
その響きが、頭を揺さぶった。
That sound, I shook my head.
(ユウナー俺、帰ってきた!)
(Yuna, I’m back!)
視界が明瞭になった。滲んでいた闇と自分の境界が明瞭になった。闇をまとった混沌から切り離された実感があった。
His vision became clear. The darkness that blurred the
boundaries became clear. There was an actual feeling, separate
from the chaos draped in darkness
(行くぞ!)
(Let’s go!)
気合いを入れて闇を蹴ると、身体がユウナの世界に少し近づいた。
He got fired up, and kicked in the darkness. His body got a
little closer to Yuna's world.
やがて頭上に迫る境界を感じた。"こっち"と"あっち"の境界。きらびやかな世界の象徴だろうか、誘うように明滅する光の壁が見えた。上へ上へ。泳ぎは何よりも得意だ。
He felt the boundary approaching overhead. The boundary between
"here" and "there". He could see a flickering wall of light, it
was a symbol of the gorgeous world. Up to the top. He was
swimming more triumphantly than ever.
(まぶしい----)
(So bright...)
突き破った壁の先にあったのは青と白の世界だった。鼻から肺へ抜けていく空気の濃厚な質感にたじろぐ。嗅覚がもたらす刺激など、すっかり忘れていたのだ。
Breaking through the wall, it was a world of blue and white. He
winced as he felt the thick air passing through his nose to his
lungs. He had completely forgotten the excitement brought by his
sense of smell.
目の前に広がるのは、大海原。その広大無辺を思った時、足の下で、何か巨大なものがうごめく気配を感じた。ついさっきまで交わっていた、生きているような闇。気を抜くと引き戻されてしまいそうだ。
Spread out in front of him was the ocean. As he thought about
the vastness, he felt something huge wriggling under his feet.
The darkness was alive. It hadn't crossed until just then. If he
wasn't careful, he could be pulled back.
(そうはいくか。俺は帰ってきたんだ)
(Let’s go. I’ve come back)
振り返ると、ビサイド島があった。初めて見た時と変わらない、中央が小山のよぅに盛り上がった、緑の三角。縁取りの砂浜が波に洗われている。
As he looked around, there was Besaid Island. Just like when he
saw it for the first time, at the centre was a hill that rose
up, like a green triangle. Surrounded by a sandy beach, washed
by waves.
無人の海岸に指笛を吹いた。
He whistled with his fingers toward the empty beach.
なんの返事もなかったが、心が安らいだ。五感から流れ込む情報は、すべて現実なのだ。たとえ返事がなくても、確実に自分が体験し、感じていることが心地よかった。
There was no answer, but his heart felt at ease. The information
gathered from all five senses was entirely real. Even if there
was no reply, from his experience, it was a feeling of comfort.
遠浅の海を、浜に向かって泳いだ。最初に会うのは誰だろう。
He swam in the shallows, facing toward the beach. Who would be
first he saw.
(ユウナ----どこ?)
(Yuna... Where is she?)
その時、空に轟音が響いた。
Just then, a deafening roar filled the sky.
空を、紫を基調にした派手なペイントの飛空艇が迫ってくる。思わず逃げた。すると艇は頭上で旋回しつつ、底部のハツチを開いた。
A brightly painted, purple airship approached from the sky. He
unintentionally ran away. As the airship circled overhead, the
hatch at the bottom opened.
待ちかねたように中からユウナが飛び出した。
Yuna couldn't wait any longer, and leapt out from the inside.
