Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 6
I didn't need anybody to tell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck, so I was scared and most shook the clothes off of me.
그것이 끔찍하게 나쁜 징조이며 나에게 불운을 가져올 것이라는 걸 누가 말해주지 않아도 알 수 있었고, 그래서 나는 너무 겁이 나서 온몸이 떨려 옷이 벗겨질 뻔했다.
I got up and turned around in my tracks three times and crossed my breast every time; and then I tied up a little lock of my hair with a thread to keep witches away.
나는 일어나서 제자리에서 세 번 빙글 돌고 그때마다 가슴에 십자를 그었다. 그런 다음 마녀를 쫓아내기 위해 실로 머리카락 한 타래를 묶었다.
But I hadn't no confidence.
하지만 나는 전혀 자신이 없었다.
You do that when you've lost a horseshoe that you've found, instead of nailing it up over the door, but I hadn't ever heard anybody say it was any way to keep off bad luck when you'd killed a spider.
그것은 주운 편자를 문 위에 못 박아두는 대신 잃어버렸을 때 하는 행동이지만, 거미를 죽였을 때 불운을 막는 방법이라고 누군가 말하는 것은 들어본 적이 없었다.
I set down again, a-shaking all over, and got out my pipe for a smoke; for the house was all as still as death now, and so the widow wouldn't know.
나는 온몸을 떨며 다시 앉아서 담배를 피우려고 파이프를 꺼냈다. 집 안이 이제 죽은 듯이 조용했기 때문에 미망인은 모를 것이었다.
Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in the town go boom—boom—boom—twelve licks; and all still again—stiller than ever.
그런데 한참 후에 멀리 마을에서 시계 소리가 둥—둥—둥—열두 번 울리는 것이 들렸다. 그리고 다시 고요해졌다—그 어느 때보다 더 고요하게.
Pretty soon I heard a twig snap down in the dark amongst the trees—something was a stirring.
이윽고 저 아래 나무들 사이 어둠 속에서 나뭇가지 부러지는 소리가 들렸다—무언가가 움직이고 있었다.
I set still and listened.
나는 가만히 앉아서 귀를 기울였다.
Directly I could just barely hear a "_me-yow! me-yow!_" down there.
곧 저 아래에서 "야옹! 야옹!" 하는 소리가 아주 희미하게 들렸다.
That was good!
잘됐다!
Says I, "_me-yow! me-yow!_" as soft as I could, and then I put out the light and scrambled out of the window on to the shed.
나는 최대한 작은 소리로 "야옹! 야옹!" 하고 대답했다. 그런 다음 불을 끄고 창문을 빠져나가 헛간 지붕 위로 기어올랐다.
