Private Letters (プライベートな手紙)
One of my cousins lost her parents years ago.
(従姉は、両親を亡くして何年にもなります)
The other day, she finally started clearing out their house, no one lives in anymore.
(先日、彼女はついに、もう住む人のない両親の家を片付け始めました)
She found a lot of letters there.
(そこで、彼女はたくさんの手紙を見つけました)
They were letters exchanged between her parents when they were young and hadn’t gotten married yet.
(それは彼女の両親が結婚前の若い頃に交わした手紙でした)
She was interested in them and wanted to read them.
(彼女はそれらに興味を持ち、読もうとしました)
She thought the letters would reveal things about her parents that she never knew.
(それらの手紙を読めば、彼女が知らなかった両親の姿がわかると思うからです)
However, her husband said that she shouldn't read them since her parents hadn’t given the letters to her nor allowed her to read them.
(でも、彼女の夫は、ご両親はその手紙をくれたわけではないし、読むのを許してくれていたわけでもないのだから、読むべきではない、と言ったそうです)
Now, she can’t decide whether to read them or just throw them away without reading them.
(今、彼女はそれを読むべきか、読まずに処分するべきか、決めかねているようです)
I told her that if I were her, I would read them.
(私だったら読むと思うよ、と私は彼女に言いました)
However, I will keep in mind not to leave anything I don’t want others to read after my death.
(でも私は、自分の死後に誰かに読まれて困るようなものは絶対残さないようにしよう、と思いました)
