Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 8
We stop stages and carriages on the road, with masks on, and kill the people and take their watches and money."
우리는 마스크를 쓰고 길에서 역마차와 마차를 세우고, 사람들을 죽이고 그들의 시계와 돈을 빼앗는 거야."
"Must we always kill the people?"
"우리가 항상 사람들을 죽여야 해?"
"Oh, certainly.
"아, 물론이지.
It's best.
그게 최선이야.
Some authorities think different, but mostly it's considered best to kill them—except some that you bring to the cave here, and keep them till they're ransomed."
몇몇 권위자들은 다르게 생각하지만, 대부분은 그들을 죽이는 게 최선이라고 여겨—여기 동굴로 데려와서 몸값을 받을 때까지 가두는 경우를 빼고는 말이야."
"Ransomed? What's that?"
"몸값? 그게 뭐야?"
"I don't know.
"나도 몰라.
But that's what they do.
하지만 그들은 그렇게 하거든.
I've seen it in books; and so of course that's what we've got to do."
책에서 본 적 있어; 그러니까 당연히 우리도 그렇게 해야 하는 거야."
"But how can we do it if we don't know what it is?"
"하지만 그게 뭔지도 모르는데 어떻게 해?"
"Why, blame it all, we've _got_ to do it.
"이런, 젠장, 우리는 _반드시_ 해야 해.
Don't I tell you it's in the books?
책에 나와 있다고 내가 말하잖아?
Do you want to go to doing different from what's in the books, and get things all muddled up?"
책에 나온 것과 다르게 하다가 모든 걸 엉망으로 만들고 싶어?"
"Oh, that's all very fine to _say_, Tom Sawyer, but how in the nation are these fellows going to be ransomed if we don't know how to do it to them?—that's the thing _I_ want to get at.
"아, 톰 소여, 그렇게 _말_하기는 쉽지, 하지만 도대체 어떻게 해야 하는지도 모르면서 이 녀석들한테서 어떻게 몸값을 받아낸다는 거야?—그게 바로 _내_가 알고 싶은 거라고.
Now, what do you _reckon_ it is?"
자, 그게 뭐라고 _생각_해?"
"Well, I don't know.
"글쎄, 나도 몰라.
But per'aps if we keep them till they're ransomed, it means that we keep them till they're dead."
하지만 아마도 몸값을 받을 때까지 가둔다는 게, 그들이 죽을 때까지 가둔다는 뜻일 거야."
"Now, that's something _like_.
"이제, 그거 _그럴듯_하다.
That'll answer.
그거면 되겠다.
Why couldn't you said that before?
왜 진작에 그렇게 말 안 했어?
We'll keep them till they're ransomed to death; and a bothersome lot they'll be, too—eating up everything, and always trying to get loose."
우리는 그들이 죽을 때까지 몸값을 받으러 가둬 둘 거야; 그리고 그것도 꽤 골치 아픈 일이 될 거야—뭐든지 다 먹어치우고, 항상 도망치려 할 테니."
"How you talk, Ben Rogers.
"말도 안 되는 소리 하고 있네, 벤 로저스.
