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

There's never anybody to be had but those stupid, half-grown little French boys; and as soon as you do get one broke into your ways and taught something he's up and off to the lobster canneries or the States.

쓸 만한 사람이라고는 멍청하고 반쯤밖에 안 자란 어린 프랑스 애들뿐이에요. 겨우 하나를 데려다가 일을 가르쳐 놓으면 어느새 바닷가재 통조림 공장이나 미국으로 훌쩍 가버리고 말죠.

At first Matthew suggested getting a Home boy.

처음에 매슈는 고아원 아이를 데려오자고 했어요.

But I said 'no' flat to that.

하지만 저는 딱 잘라 거절했죠.

'They may be all right--I'm not saying they're not--but no London street Arabs for me,' I said.

'그 애들이 괜찮을 수도 있어요, 아니라는 게 아니에요. 하지만 런던 거리의 부랑아는 안 돼요'라고 했죠.

'Give me a native born at least.

'적어도 이 땅에서 태어난 아이로 주세요.

There'll be a risk, no matter who we get.

누구를 데려오든 위험 부담은 있을 거예요.

But I'll feel easier in my mind and sleep sounder at nights if we get a born Canadian.'

하지만 캐나다에서 태어난 아이를 데려온다면 마음이 더 편하고 밤에도 더 잘 잘 수 있을 거예요.'

So in the end we decided to ask Mrs. Spencer to pick us out one when she went over to get her little girl.

그래서 결국 우리는 스펜서 부인이 어린 여자아이를 데리러 갈 때 우리 아이도 하나 골라다 달라고 부탁하기로 했어요.

We heard last week she was going, so we sent her word by Richard Spencer's folks at Carmody to bring us a smart, likely boy of about ten or eleven.

지난주에 그녀가 갈 거라는 소식을 들었기에, 카모디에 사는 리처드 스펜서 집안사람들 편에 열 살이나 열한 살쯤 된 똑똑하고 쓸만한 남자아이를 데려다 달라고 전갈을 보냈죠.

We decided that would be the best age--old enough to be of some use in doing chores right off and young enough to be trained up proper.

그 나이가 가장 적당하다고 생각했거든요. 바로 집안일을 도울 수 있을 만큼 충분히 나이가 들었으면서도 올바르게 훈련시킬 수 있을 만큼 아직 어린 나이니까요.

We mean to give him a good home and schooling.

우리는 그 아이에게 좋은 가정환경과 교육을 제공할 생각이에요.

We had a telegram from Mrs. Alexander Spencer today--the mail-man brought it from the station--saying they were coming on the five-thirty train tonight.

오늘 알렉산더 스펜서 부인에게서 전보가 왔어요. 우편배달부가 역에서 가져왔는데, 오늘 밤 다섯 시 반 기차로 온다고 하더군요.

So Matthew went to Bright River to meet him.

그래서 매슈가 그를 맞이하러 브라이트 리버로 갔어요.

Mrs. Spencer will drop him off there.

스펜서 부인이 거기서 그 아이를 내려줄 거예요.

Of course she goes on to White Sands station herself."

물론 그녀 본인은 화이트 샌즈 역까지 계속 가고요."

Mrs.
