翻訳: 寝ることを試みる (Try to Sleep)

Norma went to bed. It was eleven o'clock. She turned out the light. She lay in bed. It was dark. It was quiet. She couldn't sleep. She closed her eyes. She tried to sleep, but she couldn't. She turned the light back on. She opened her book. She started to read her book. It was a good book. She read one page. Then she read another page. After a while, she felt sleepy. She closed the book. She turned out the light. She closed her eyes. She went straight to sleep.

ノルマさんはベッドに行った。２３時だった。電気を消した。ベッドに横たわっていた。暗くて、静かだ。彼女は寝ることが出来なかった。目を閉じて、寝ることを試みた。でも、出来なかった。電気をつけて、本を開けて、読み出した。それから、しばらくして眠くなった。本を閉じて、もう一回電気を消して、目を閉じた。すぐに寝てしまった。
