Anna Karenina — Page 4
Most unpleasant of all was the first minute when, on coming, happy and good-humored, from the theater, with a huge pear in his hand for his wife, he had not found his wife in the drawing-room, to his surprise had not found her in the study either, and saw her at last in her bedroom with the unlucky letter that revealed everything in her hand.
무엇보다도 가장 불쾌했던 것은 처음 그 순간이었는데, 그때 그는 아내에게 줄 커다란 배를 손에 들고 행복하고 유쾌한 기분으로 극장에서 돌아왔지만, 응접실에서 아내를 찾지 못했고, 놀랍게도 서재에서도 아내를 찾지 못했으며, 마침내 침실에서 모든 것을 드러내는 불길한 편지를 손에 든 채 있는 아내를 발견했다.
She, his Dolly, forever fussing and worrying over household details, and limited in her ideas, as he considered, was sitting perfectly still with the letter in her hand, looking at him with an expression of horror, despair, and indignation.
그의 돌리, 언제나 집안일의 세세한 것들로 분주하고 걱정하며, 그가 생각하기에 생각이 좁은 그녀가, 편지를 손에 든 채 완전히 꼼짝도 않고 앉아서, 공포와 절망과 분노의 표정으로 그를 바라보고 있었다.
"What's this? this?" she asked, pointing to the letter.
"이게 뭐예요? 이게?" 그녀는 편지를 가리키며 물었다.
And at this recollection, Stepan Arkadyevitch, as is so often the case, was not so much annoyed at the fact itself as at the way in which he had met his wife's words.
그리고 이 기억을 떠올리며, 스테판 아르카디예비치는, 흔히 그런 경우가 그렇듯이, 사실 자체보다는 아내의 말에 자신이 대응한 방식에 더욱 짜증이 났다.
There happened to him at that instant what does happen to people when they are unexpectedly caught in something very disgraceful.
그 순간 그에게는, 매우 수치스러운 일에 불시에 들켰을 때 사람들에게 일어나는 바로 그 일이 일어났다.
He did not succeed in adapting his face to the position in which he was placed towards his wife by the discovery of his fault.
그는 자신의 잘못이 드러남으로써 아내와의 관계에서 처하게 된 상황에 맞게 표정을 다듬는 데 실패했다.
Instead of being hurt, denying, defending himself, begging forgiveness, instead of remaining indifferent even—anything would have been better than what he did do—his face utterly involuntarily (reflex spinal action, reflected Stepan Arkadyevitch, who was fond of physiology)—utterly involuntarily assumed its habitual, good-humored, and therefore idiotic smile.
상처받은 듯하거나, 부인하거나, 자신을 변호하거나, 용서를 구하는 대신, 심지어 무관심하게 있는 대신에—그가 실제로 한 것보다는 무엇이든 더 나았을 텐데—그의 얼굴은 전혀 의도치 않게 (척수 반사 작용이라고, 생리학을 좋아하는 스테판 아르카디예비치는 생각했다)—전혀 의도치 않게 습관적이고 유쾌한, 그리하여 멍청한 미소를 지었다.
This idiotic smile he could not forgive himself.
이 멍청한 미소를 그는 자신에게 용서할 수가 없었다.
