English → Korean CHAPTER I. Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Surprised Level 6/10

MRS. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde's Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs. Rachel Lynde's door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof.

레이첼 린드 부인은 에이번리 큰길이 작은 분지로 내려가는 바로 그 지점에 살고 있었는데, 그 분지는 오리나무와 귀고리꽃으로 둘러싸여 있었고, 오래된 커스버트 농장의 숲 깊은 곳에서 발원한 시냇물이 그곳을 가로질러 흘렀다. 그 시냇물은 숲을 처음 흐를 때는 웅덩이와 폭포의 어두운 비밀을 간직한 채 복잡하고 거침없이 흐르는 것으로 알려져 있었지만, 린드네 분지에 이를 즈음에는 조용하고 얌전한 작은 물줄기가 되어 있었다. 아무리 시냇물이라도 레이첼 린드 부인의 집 문 앞을 예의와 품위를 갖추지 않고 흘러 지나칠 수는 없었기 때문이다. 그 시냇물도 아마 레이첼 부인이 창가에 앉아 시냇물에서 아이들에 이르기까지 지나가는 모든 것을 날카롭게 지켜보고 있으며, 뭔가 이상하거나 제자리에서 벗어난 것을 발견하면 그 이유와 경위를 캐내기 전까지는 결코 가만있지 않을 것임을 알고 있었을 것이다.

There are plenty of people, in Avonlea and out of it, who can attend closely to their neighbors' business by dint of neglecting their own; but Mrs. Rachel Lynde was one of those capable creatures who can manage their own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain.

에이번리 안팎에는 자신의 일을 소홀히 하면서 이웃의 일에 바짝 신경을 쓰는 사람들이 많이 있었다. 하지만 레이첼 린드 부인은 자신의 일도 잘 처리하면서 덤으로 다른 사람들의 일까지 챙길 수 있는 유능한 사람 중 하나였다.

She was a notable housewife; her work was always done and well done; she "ran" the Sewing Circle, helped run the Sunday-school, and was the strongest prop of the Church Aid Society and Foreign Missions Auxiliary.

그녀는 뛰어난 주부였으며, 집안일은 언제나 빈틈없이 잘 해냈다. 그녀는 바느질 모임을 이끌었고, 주일학교 운영을 도왔으며, 교회 봉사회와 해외 선교 보조회의 가장 든든한 기둥이었다.

Yet with all this Mrs.

그러나 이 모든 것에도 불구하고 린드 부인은
