Anna Karenina — Page 1
When he was dressed, Stepan Arkadyevitch sprinkled some scent on himself, pulled down his shirt-cuffs, distributed into his pockets his cigarettes, pocketbook, matches, and watch with its double chain and seals, and shaking out his handkerchief, feeling himself clean, fragrant, healthy, and physically at ease, in spite of his unhappiness, he walked with a slight swing on each leg into the dining-room, where coffee was already waiting for him, and beside the coffee, letters and papers from the office.
옷을 다 입고 나서 스테판 아르카디에비치는 몸에 향수를 뿌리고, 셔츠 소매를 내리고, 담배와 지갑, 성냥, 그리고 이중 체인과 인장이 달린 시계를 주머니에 나누어 넣었으며, 손수건을 털어낸 후, 불행함에도 불구하고 몸이 깨끗하고 향기롭고 건강하며 육체적으로 편안함을 느끼면서, 두 다리를 살짝 흔들며 식당으로 걸어 들어갔다. 식당에는 이미 커피가 그를 기다리고 있었고, 커피 옆에는 편지들과 사무실에서 온 서류들이 놓여 있었다.
He read the letters. One was very unpleasant, from a merchant who was buying a forest on his wife's property. To sell this forest was absolutely essential; but at present, until he was reconciled with his wife, the subject could not be discussed. The most unpleasant thing of all was that his pecuniary interests should in this way enter into the question of his reconciliation with his wife. And the idea that he might be led on by his interests, that he might seek a reconciliation with his wife on account of the sale of the forest—that idea hurt him.
그는 편지들을 읽었다. 그 중 하나는 아내의 소유지에 있는 숲을 매입하려는 상인에게서 온 것으로 매우 불쾌한 내용이었다. 이 숲을 파는 것은 절대적으로 필요한 일이었지만, 지금 당장은 아내와 화해하기 전까지는 그 문제를 논의할 수 없었다. 무엇보다 가장 불쾌한 것은 금전적인 이해관계가 이런 식으로 아내와의 화해 문제에 끼어든다는 것이었다. 그리고 자신이 이해관계에 이끌려 숲의 매각 때문에 아내와의 화해를 꾀할 수도 있다는 생각이 그를 괴롭혔다.
When he had finished his letters, Stepan Arkadyevitch moved the office-papers close to him, rapidly looked through two pieces of business, made a few notes with a big pencil, and pushing away the papers, turned to his coffee. As he sipped his coffee, he opened a still damp morning paper, and began reading it.
편지를 다 읽고 나서 스테판 아르카디에비치는 사무 서류를 가까이 끌어당겨 두 건의 업무를 빠르게 훑어보고, 굵은 연필로 몇 가지 메모를 한 다음, 서류를 밀어 놓고 커피로 향했다. 커피를 홀짝이면서 그는 아직 축축한 아침 신문을 펼쳐 읽기 시작했다.
