A Room with a View — Page 12
It was a real catastrophe, not a mere episode, that evening of hers at Venice, when she had found in her bedroom something that is one worse than a flea, though one better than something else.
그것은 단순한 에피소드가 아니라 진정한 재앙이었습니다, 베네치아에서의 그녀의 그날 저녁, 그녀가 침실에서 벼룩보다 한 단계 더 나쁘지만, 다른 무언가보다는 한 단계 나은 것을 발견했을 때.
"But here you are as safe as in England. Signora Bertolini is so English."
"하지만 여기서는 영국에서만큼 안전합니다. 베르톨리니 부인은 정말 영국적이니까요."
"Yet our rooms smell," said poor Lucy. "We dread going to bed."
"그래도 우리 방에서는 냄새가 나요," 불쌍한 루시가 말했습니다. "우리는 잠자리에 드는 것이 두렵습니다."
"Ah, then you look into the court." She sighed. "If only Mr. Emerson was more tactful! We were so sorry for you at dinner."
"아, 그렇다면 안뜰 쪽을 보고 계시는군요." 그녀가 한숨을 쉬었습니다. "에머슨 씨가 좀 더 눈치가 있었더라면! 저녁 식사 때 정말 안타까웠습니다."
"I think he was meaning to be kind."
"그는 친절하게 대하려 했던 것 같아요."
"Undoubtedly he was," said Miss Bartlett.
"의심할 여지 없이 그랬을 거예요," 바틀렛 양이 말했습니다.
"Mr. Beebe has just been scolding me for my suspicious nature. Of course, I was holding back on my cousin's account."
"비브 씨가 방금 저의 의심 많은 성격 때문에 나무라셨어요. 물론, 저는 사촌 때문에 자제하고 있었던 거예요."
"Of course," said the little old lady; and they murmured that one could not be too careful with a young girl.
"물론이죠," 그 작은 노부인이 말했습니다. 그리고 그들은 어린 소녀에게는 아무리 조심해도 지나치지 않다고 소곤거렸습니다.
Lucy tried to look demure, but could not help feeling a great fool. No one was careful with her at home; or, at all events, she had not noticed it.
루시는 얌전한 척 보이려 했지만, 자신이 큰 바보처럼 느껴지는 것을 어쩔 수 없었습니다. 집에서는 아무도 그녀를 그렇게 조심스럽게 대하지 않았습니다. 아니, 적어도 그녀는 그것을 눈치채지 못했습니다.
"About old Mr. Emerson—I hardly know. No, he is not tactful; yet, have you ever noticed that there are people who do things which are most indelicate, and yet at the same time—beautiful?"
"나이 든 에머슨 씨에 대해서는—잘 모르겠어요. 아니요, 그는 눈치가 없어요. 하지만, 가장 무례한 행동을 하면서도 동시에—아름다운 사람들이 있다는 것을 눈치채신 적이 있나요?"
"Beautiful?" said Miss Bartlett, puzzled at the word. "Are not beauty and delicacy the same?"
"아름답다고요?" 바틀렛 양이 그 말에 의아해하며 말했습니다. "아름다움과 섬세함은 같은 것이 아닌가요?"
"So one would have thought," said the other helplessly. "But things are so difficult, I sometimes think.
"그렇게 생각했을 거예요," 상대방이 어쩔 줄 모르며 말했습니다. "하지만 세상일은 때로 정말 어렵다는 생각이 들어요.
