A Room with a View — Page 8
Was this really Italy?
이곳이 정말 이탈리아란 말인가?
Miss Bartlett was already seated on a tightly stuffed arm-chair, which had the colour and the contours of a tomato.
바틀렛 양은 이미 토마토의 색깔과 윤곽을 가진, 속을 단단히 채운 안락의자에 앉아 있었다.
She was talking to Mr. Beebe, and as she spoke, her long narrow head drove backwards and forwards, slowly, regularly, as though she were demolishing some invisible obstacle.
그녀는 비비 씨와 이야기를 나누고 있었는데, 말을 하는 동안 그녀의 길고 좁은 머리가 마치 보이지 않는 장애물을 허물고 있는 듯이 천천히, 규칙적으로 앞뒤로 움직였다.
"We are most grateful to you," she was saying.
"정말 감사합니다," 그녀가 말하고 있었다.
"The first evening means so much.
"첫날 저녁은 정말 중요하잖아요.
When you arrived we were in for a peculiarly _mauvais quart d'heure_."
당신이 도착했을 때 저희는 유난히 불쾌한 한때를 보내고 있었답니다."
He expressed his regret.
그는 유감을 표했다.
"Do you, by any chance, know the name of an old man who sat opposite us at dinner?"
"혹시 저녁 식사 때 저희 맞은편에 앉았던 노인의 이름을 아시나요?"
"Emerson."
"에머슨이요."
"Is he a friend of yours?"
"그분이 당신의 친구인가요?"
"We are friendly—as one is in pensions."
"저희는 친하게 지내는 사이입니다—하숙집에서 그렇게 되듯이요."
"Then I will say no more."
"그렇다면 더 이상 말하지 않겠습니다."
He pressed her very slightly, and she said more.
그가 살짝 재촉하자, 그녀는 말을 이어갔다.
"I am, as it were," she concluded, "the chaperon of my young cousin, Lucy, and it would be a serious thing if I put her under an obligation to people of whom we know nothing.
"저는, 말하자면," 그녀가 결론지었다, "제 어린 사촌 루시의 보호자인데, 우리가 전혀 모르는 사람들에게 그 아이가 신세를 지게 한다면 심각한 일이 될 것입니다.
His manner was somewhat unfortunate.
그의 태도는 다소 유감스러웠습니다.
I hope I acted for the best."
제가 최선을 다해 행동했기를 바랍니다."
"You acted very naturally," said he.
"당신은 아주 자연스럽게 행동하셨습니다," 그가 말했다.
He seemed thoughtful, and after a few moments added: "All the same, I don't think much harm would have come of accepting."
그는 생각에 잠긴 듯 보였고, 잠시 후 덧붙였다: "그렇다 해도, 받아들였다고 해서 큰 해가 됐을 것 같지는 않습니다."
"No _harm_, of course. But we could not be under an obligation."
"물론 해야 될 것은 없죠. 하지만 저희가 신세를 질 수는 없잖아요."
"He is rather a peculiar man.
"그는 꽤 별난 사람입니다.
