A Study in Scarlet — Page 8
" he said cordially, gripping my hand with a strength for which I should hardly have given him credit.
"그는 내가 그에게 기대하기 어려웠을 힘으로 내 손을 꽉 쥐며 진심 어린 목소리로 말했다.
"You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive."
"당신은 아프가니스탄에 다녀오셨군요, 그렇죠."
"How on earth did you know that?" I asked in astonishment.
"도대체 어떻게 그걸 아셨습니까?" 나는 놀라서 물었다.
"Never mind," said he, chuckling to himself.
"신경 쓰지 마세요," 그는 혼자 킬킬 웃으며 말했다.
"The question now is about hæmoglobin.
"지금 문제는 헤모글로빈에 관한 것입니다.
No doubt you see the significance of this discovery of mine?"
제 이번 발견의 중요성을 알아보시겠죠?"
"It is interesting, chemically, no doubt," I answered, "but practically——"
"화학적으로는 분명 흥미롭습니다," 나는 대답했다, "하지만 실용적으로는——"
"Why, man, it is the most practical medico-legal discovery for years.
"이보세요, 이건 수년간 가장 실용적인 법의학적 발견입니다.
Don't you see that it gives us an infallible test for blood stains.
이것이 혈흔에 대한 확실한 검사법을 제공한다는 걸 모르시겠어요.
Come over here now!"
지금 이쪽으로 오세요!"
He seized me by the coat-sleeve in his eagerness, and drew me over to the table at which he had been working.
그는 흥분한 나머지 내 외투 소매를 잡아채더니 자신이 작업하던 테이블로 나를 끌어당겼다.
"Let us have some fresh blood," he said, digging a long bodkin into his finger, and drawing off the resulting drop of blood in a chemical pipette.
"신선한 피를 좀 구합시다," 그는 긴 송곳을 손가락에 찔러 넣고 그 결과로 맺힌 피 한 방울을 화학용 피펫으로 빨아들이며 말했다.
"Now, I add this small quantity of blood to a litre of water.
"자, 이 소량의 피를 1리터의 물에 넣겠습니다.
You perceive that the resulting mixture has the appearance of pure water.
그 결과로 생긴 혼합물이 순수한 물처럼 보이는 것을 아시겠죠.
The proportion of blood cannot be more than one in a million.
혈액의 비율은 백만 분의 일을 넘지 않습니다.
I have no doubt, however, that we shall be able to obtain the characteristic reaction."
그러나 우리가 특유의 반응을 얻을 수 있으리라는 것은 의심치 않습니다."
As he spoke, he threw into the vessel a few white crystals, and then added some drops of a transparent fluid.
그가 말하는 동안 그는 용기에 흰 결정을 몇 개 집어넣더니 투명한 액체를 몇 방울 첨가했다.
In an instant the contents assumed a dull mahogany colour, and a brownish dust was precipitated to the bottom of the glass jar.
순식간에 내용물은 칙칙한 마호가니 색으로 변했고, 갈색 침전물이 유리병 바닥에 가라앉았다.

"하!
