Anne of Green Gables — Page 5
"It's no wonder Matthew and Marilla are both a little odd, living away back here by themselves.
"매튜와 마릴라가 둘 다 조금 이상한 것도 무리가 아니지, 이렇게 외딴 곳에 둘이서만 살고 있으니.
Trees aren't much company, though dear knows if they were there'd be enough of them.
나무들이 좋은 친구가 되어 주는 것도 아니고, 뭐 나무야 충분히 많긴 하지만.
I'd ruther look at people.
나는 차라리 사람들을 보는 게 낫겠어.
To be sure, they seem contented enough; but then, I suppose, they're used to it.
물론, 그들은 충분히 만족스러워 보이기는 하지만, 뭐 그것에 익숙해진 거겠지.
A body can get used to anything, even to being hanged, as the Irishman said."
아일랜드인이 말했듯이, 사람이란 뭐든 익숙해지기 마련이지, 교수형에도 말이야."
With this Mrs. Rachel stepped out of the lane into the backyard of Green Gables.
이 말을 마치며 레이첼 부인은 오솔길을 벗어나 그린 게이블즈의 뒤뜰로 들어섰다.
Very green and neat and precise was that yard, set about on one side with great patriarchal willows and on the other with prim Lombardies.
그 뜰은 매우 푸르고 깔끔하며 단정했는데, 한쪽에는 늠름한 버드나무들이, 다른 쪽에는 단정한 롬바르디 포플러들이 늘어서 있었다.
Not a stray stick nor stone was to be seen, for Mrs. Rachel would have seen it if there had been.
나뭇가지 하나 돌멩이 하나 눈에 띄지 않았는데, 만약 있었다면 레이첼 부인이 반드시 발견했을 것이기 때문이다.
Privately she was of the opinion that Marilla Cuthbert swept that yard over as often as she swept her house.
그녀는 마릴라 커스버트가 집 안을 쓸듯이 그 뜰도 자주 쓸 것이라고 속으로 생각했다.
One could have eaten a meal off the ground without overbrimming the proverbial peck of dirt.
속담에 나오는 한 됫박의 먼지도 넘치지 않을 만큼, 그 땅 위에서 밥을 먹어도 될 정도였다.
Mrs. Rachel rapped smartly at the kitchen door and stepped in when bidden to do so.
레이첼 부인은 부엌 문을 경쾌하게 두드리고는 들어오라는 말에 안으로 들어섰다.
The kitchen at Green Gables was a cheerful apartment--or would have been cheerful if it had not been so painfully clean as to give it something of the appearance of an unused parlor.
그린 게이블즈의 부엌은 쾌활한 공간이었다—아니, 사용하지 않는 응접실처럼 보일 만큼 지나치게 깨끗하지만 않았더라면 쾌활했을 것이다.
