動揺して – become upset
できない – I couldn’t
子供に「しまじろう、どうぶつえんにいく」の絵本を読みきかせしてる最中に
『えっ、この世界では服を着て歩ける身分の動物と、動物園で観賞される身分の動物がいるってこと?』と疑問を持ってしまい、動揺して読み進められなくなった
I was reading a book to my child about a child who goes to the zoo. As I was reading the book, my child asked me, “Are there animals who can walk around with clothes, and other animals that have to stay in the zoo?” I became upset/distressed by this question that I couldn’t continue to read the book any further.
I was so disturbed by the story that I could not read further.
be disturbed=「動揺する、心がかき乱される」
so~that…=~なので…だ
further=「さらに、それ以上」
I was so disturbed by the story that I could not read further.
「私はそのストーリーに動揺して、読み進めることが出来なかった」
