A Room with a View — Page 4

English → Korean Chapter I Level 6/10

Lucy, too, was perplexed; but she saw that they were in for what is known as "quite a scene," and she had an odd feeling that whenever these ill-bred tourists spoke the contest widened and deepened till it dealt, not with rooms and views, but with—well, with something quite different, whose existence she had not realized before.

루시도 당혹스럽기는 마찬가지였다. 하지만 그녀는 이것이 이른바 "꽤 한바탕 소동"으로 번질 상황임을 알아챘고, 이 교양 없는 여행객들이 말을 할 때마다 그 다툼이 점점 넓어지고 깊어져서 결국 방이나 전망의 문제가 아니라, 그녀가 전에는 존재조차 깨닫지 못했던 전혀 다른 무언가의 문제로 번져간다는 묘한 느낌이 들었다.

Now the old man attacked Miss Bartlett almost violently: Why should she not change?

이제 그 노인은 거의 격렬하다시피 바틀렛 양에게 따져들었다. 왜 방을 바꾸지 않으려 하느냐고.

What possible objection had she?

대체 무슨 이유로 거절하는 것이냐고.

They would clear out in half an hour.

자기들은 삼십 분 안에 짐을 뺄 수 있다고.

Miss Bartlett, though skilled in the delicacies of conversation, was powerless in the presence of brutality.

바틀렛 양은 대화의 섬세한 기술에는 능숙했지만, 이런 난폭함 앞에서는 속수무책이었다.

It was impossible to snub any one so gross.

이토록 무례한 사람을 핀잔 주는 것은 불가능한 일이었다.

Her face reddened with displeasure.

그녀의 얼굴은 불쾌감으로 붉어졌다.

She looked around as much as to say, "Are you all like this?"

그녀는 마치 "여기 사람들이 다 이런가요?"라고 말하듯 주위를 둘러보았다.

And two little old ladies, who were sitting further up the table, with shawls hanging over the backs of the chairs, looked back, clearly indicating "We are not; we are genteel."

그러자 테이블 위쪽에 앉아 의자 등받이에 숄을 걸쳐놓고 있던 두 명의 작은 노부인들이 시선을 돌려, "우리는 그렇지 않아요. 우리는 품위 있는 사람들이랍니다"라고 분명히 전하는 눈빛을 보내왔다.

"Eat your dinner, dear," she said to Lucy, and began to toy again with the meat that she had once censured.

"얘야, 저녁이나 먹으렴"하고 그녀는 루시에게 말하고는, 전에 흠을 잡았던 고기를 다시 이리저리 건드리기 시작했다.

Lucy mumbled that those seemed very odd people opposite.

루시는 맞은편 사람들이 참 이상한 것 같다고 중얼거렸다.

"Eat your dinner, dear. This pension is a failure. To-morrow we will make a change."

"얘야, 저녁이나 먹으렴. 이 펜션은 실망이야. 내일 우리 다른 곳으로 옮기자꾸나."

Hardly had she announced this fell decision when she reversed it.

그녀가 이 단호한 결정을 선언하자마자 곧바로 번복하게 되었다.

The curtains at the end of the room parted, and revealed a clergyman, stout but attractive, who hurried forward to take his place at the table, cheerfully apologizing for his lateness.

방 끝쪽의 커튼이 갈라지며 한 성직자가 모습을 드러냈는데, 그는 살집이 있었지만 호감이 가는 인상으로, 늦은 것에 대해 유쾌하게 사과하며 서둘러 테이블 자리로 걸어왔다.
