Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 3
After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by-and-by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people.
저녁 식사 후 그녀는 책을 꺼내 모세와 갈대밭 이야기를 가르쳐 주었고, 나는 그에 대한 모든 것을 알고 싶어 안달이 났다. 그런데 얼마 지나지 않아 그녀가 모세는 아주 오래전에 죽었다고 말해 버렸다. 그러자 나는 더 이상 그에게 관심이 없어졌는데, 왜냐하면 나는 죽은 사람들에게는 별 관심을 두지 않기 때문이다.
Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me.
얼마 후 나는 담배가 피우고 싶어져서 과부에게 허락해 달라고 부탁했다.
But she wouldn't.
하지만 그녀는 허락하지 않았다.
She said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it any more.
그녀는 담배 피우는 것은 나쁜 습관이고 깨끗하지 않으니, 앞으로는 하지 않으려고 노력해야 한다고 말했다.
That is just the way with some people.
어떤 사람들은 딱 그런 식이다.
They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it.
아무것도 모르면서 뭔가를 못마땅하게 여기는 것이다.
Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it.
보다시피 그녀는 자신과 아무 친척도 아니고, 이미 세상을 떠나 아무에게도 쓸모없는 모세에 대해 이러쿵저러쿵 떠들면서도, 실제로 좋은 점이 있는 일을 하는 나에게는 잔뜩 트집을 잡는 것이었다.
And she took snuff, too; of course that was all right, because she done it herself.
게다가 그녀 자신은 코담배도 피웠는데, 물론 그건 괜찮았다. 왜냐하면 자기가 직접 하는 일이었으니까.
Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spelling-book.
그녀의 여동생인 왓슨 양은 안경을 쓴 제법 깡마른 노처녀였는데, 막 함께 살러 와서는 철자 교본을 들고 나에게 덤벼들었다.
She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up.
그녀는 한 시간 가량 나를 꽤 열심히 가르쳤고, 그러다 과부가 그녀에게 좀 쉬게 해 주라고 했다.
I couldn't stood it much longer.
나는 더 이상 버티기가 힘들었다.
Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety.
그 후 한 시간 동안은 지루하기 짝이 없었고, 나는 안절부절못했다.
