A Tale of Two Cities — Page 3
As to the latter, when every posting-house and ale-house could produce somebody in "the Captain's" pay, ranging from the landlord to the lowest stable non-descript, it was the likeliest thing upon the cards.
후자의 경우, 모든 역참과 주점에서 주인부터 마굿간의 가장 하찮은 잡역부에 이르기까지 "대위"의 부하 누군가를 찾아낼 수 있었으니, 그것은 가장 있음직한 일이었다.
So the guard of the Dover mail thought to himself, that Friday night in November, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, lumbering up Shooter's Hill, as he stood on his own particular perch behind the mail, beating his feet, and keeping an eye and a hand on the arm-chest before him, where a loaded blunderbuss lay at the top of six or eight loaded horse-pistols, deposited on a substratum of cutlass.
그리하여 도버 우편 마차의 경비원은 1775년 11월의 그 금요일 밤, 슈터스 힐을 느릿느릿 올라가며 우편 마차 뒤의 자신만의 자리에 서서 발을 구르고, 앞에 놓인 무기 상자에 눈과 손을 고정한 채 혼자 그런 생각을 하였다. 그 상자 안에는 칼들을 바닥 삼아 여섯 자루 혹은 여덟 자루의 장전된 기마 권총 위에 장전된 나팔총 하나가 놓여 있었다.
The Dover mail was in its usual genial position that the guard suspected the passengers, the passengers suspected one another and the guard, they all suspected everybody else, and the coachman was sure of nothing but the horses; as to which cattle he could with a clear conscience have taken his oath on the two Testaments that they were not fit for the journey.
도버 우편 마차는 여느 때와 같은 화기애애한 상황이었으니, 경비원은 승객들을 의심하고, 승객들은 서로와 경비원을 의심하고, 모두가 다른 모든 이를 의심하였으며, 마부는 말들 외에는 아무것도 확신할 수 없었다. 그 짐승들에 대해서라면 그는 양심에 거리낌 없이 두 성경에 손을 얹고 맹세할 수 있었으니, 그 말들이 여정에 적합하지 않다고.
"Wo-ho!" said the coachman.
"워호!" 마부가 말했다.
"So, then! One more pull and you're at the top and be damned to you, for I have had trouble enough to get you to it!--Joe!"
"자, 이제! 한 번만 더 당기면 꼭대기야, 이 망할 것들아, 여기까지 오게 하느라 내가 얼마나 고생했는지!--조!"
"Halloa!" the guard replied.
"할로아!" 경비원이 대답했다.
"What o'clock do you make it, Joe?"
"지금 몇 시나 됐나, 조?"
"Ten minutes, good, past eleven."
"열한 시 십 분은 됐습니다."
"My blood!" ejaculated the vexed coachman, "and not atop of Shooter's yet! Tst! Yah! Get on with you!
"이런 제기랄!" 짜증 난 마부가 내뱉었다, "아직도 슈터스 꼭대기에 못 올랐다니! 쯧! 야! 어서 가!"
