Trishaの山歩きは続いています。
Braking out of her own stillness, Trisha took off her other Reebok and knotted the laces of both sneakers together. She hung them around her neck like cuckoo-clock pendulums, debated over her socks, and decided to leave them on as a kind of compromise (as an oog-shield was the thought which actually went through her mind).
日本語にもなっている英語は要注意だ。私の知っている "debate" は、私の嫌いな、賛否の二つに分かれて行う西洋人が好きな知的な一種の武器ですが、Trishaは一人で歩いているので、その意味ではないはず。辞書で確認します。
・Collins Dictionary: to deliberate upon (something): he debated with himself whether to go
・Macmillan Dictionary: to consider an action or situation carefully before you decide what to do: I debated whether or not to call her parents.
なるほど、これなら独りでも "debate" できますね。
注： "oog" is Dutch for "eye.
