A Study in Scarlet — Page 2

English → Korean CHAPTER I. Level 6/10

Worn with pain, and weak from the prolonged hardships which I had undergone, I was removed, with a great train of wounded sufferers, to the base hospital at Peshawar.

고통으로 지치고, 내가 겪어온 오랜 고난으로 쇠약해진 나는, 많은 부상자들과 함께 페샤와르의 후방 병원으로 이송되었다.

Here I rallied, and had already improved so far as to be able to walk about the wards, and even to bask a little upon the verandah, when I was struck down by enteric fever, that curse of our Indian possessions.

그곳에서 나는 회복하여, 병동을 걸어 다닐 수 있을 정도로 이미 호전되었고, 베란다에서 잠시 햇볕을 쬘 수도 있게 되었을 때, 우리 인도 영토의 저주라 할 수 있는 장티푸스에 쓰러지고 말았다.

For months my life was despaired of, and when at last I came to myself and became convalescent, I was so weak and emaciated that a medical board determined that not a day should be lost in sending me back to England.

몇 달 동안 나의 생명은 절망적인 것으로 여겨졌고, 마침내 정신을 차리고 회복기에 접어들었을 때, 나는 너무나 쇠약하고 수척해져서 의료 위원회는 하루도 지체하지 말고 나를 영국으로 돌려보내야 한다고 결정하였다.

I was dispatched, accordingly, in the troopship "Orontes," and landed a month later on Portsmouth jetty, with my health irretrievably ruined, but with permission from a paternal government to spend the next nine months in attempting to improve it.

나는 그에 따라 병력 수송선 "오론테스"호에 실려 보내졌고, 한 달 후 포츠머스 부두에 상륙하였는데, 건강은 돌이킬 수 없이 망가진 상태였지만, 자애로운 정부로부터 앞으로 아홉 달 동안 건강을 회복하도록 노력해도 좋다는 허가를 받은 몸이었다.

I had neither kith nor kin in England, and was therefore as free as air—or as free as an income of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit a man to be.

나는 영국에 친척도 연고도 없었으므로, 공기처럼 자유로운 몸이었다—아니, 하루 11실링 6펜스의 수입이 한 사람에게 허락하는 만큼의 자유로운 몸이었다.

Under such circumstances, I naturally gravitated to London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.

그러한 상황에서 나는 자연스럽게 런던으로 흘러들었는데, 런던이란 제국의 모든 한량과 게으름뱅이들이 거부할 수 없이 빨려 드는 거대한 오수 웅덩이였다.

There I stayed for some time at a private hotel in the Strand, leading a comfortless, meaningless existence, and spending such money as I had, considerably more freely than I ought.

그곳에서 나는 한동안 스트랜드의 한 사설 호텔에 머물며, 불편하고 무의미한 나날을 보내면서, 가진 돈을 마땅히 써야 할 것보다 훨씬 더 헤프게 써버렸다.
