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

Rachel prided herself on always speaking her mind; she proceeded to speak it now, having adjusted her mental attitude to this amazing piece of news.

레이첼은 항상 자신의 생각을 거침없이 말하는 것을 자랑스럽게 여겼다. 그녀는 이 놀라운 소식에 대해 마음의 자세를 가다듬고는 이제 그 생각을 말하기 시작했다.

"Well, Marilla, I'll just tell you plain that I think you're doing a mighty foolish thing--a risky thing, that's what.

"저, 마릴라, 솔직하게 말씀드리자면 당신은 지금 정말 어리석은 일을 하고 있어요--위험한 일이에요, 그게 제 생각이에요.

You don't know what you're getting.

당신은 어떤 아이를 데려오는지도 모르잖아요.

You're bringing a strange child into your house and home and you don't know a single thing about him nor what his disposition is like nor what sort of parents he had nor how he's likely to turn out.

낯선 아이를 집으로 데려오면서 그 아이에 대해 아무것도 모르잖아요. 성격이 어떤지도, 어떤 부모를 뒀는지도, 앞으로 어떻게 될지도요.

Why, it was only last week I read in the paper how a man and his wife up west of the Island took a boy out of an orphan asylum and he set fire to the house at night--set it _on purpose_, Marilla--and nearly burnt them to a crisp in their beds.

그러고 보면, 바로 지난주에 신문에서 읽었는데, 섬 서쪽에 사는 어떤 부부가 고아원에서 남자아이를 데려왔는데 그 아이가 밤에 집에 불을 질렀다지 뭐예요--마릴라, _일부러_ 그런 거예요--그래서 부부가 침대에서 거의 타 죽을 뻔했대요.

And I know another case where an adopted boy used to suck the eggs--they couldn't break him of it.

그리고 또 다른 경우도 알고 있는데, 입양된 남자아이가 달걀을 빨아 먹었대요--아무리 해도 그 버릇을 고칠 수가 없었다고요.

If you had asked my advice in the matter--which you didn't do, Marilla--I'd have said for mercy's sake not to think of such a thing, that's what."

이 문제에 대해 제 조언을 구하셨더라면--그러지 않으셨지만요, 마릴라--제발 그런 생각은 하지도 말라고 했을 거예요, 정말이에요."

This Job's comforting seemed neither to offend nor to alarm Marilla.

이런 욥식의 위로는 마릴라를 기분 나쁘게 하지도, 불안하게 하지도 않는 것 같았다.

She knitted steadily on.

그녀는 묵묵히 뜨개질을 계속했다.

"I don't deny there's something in what you say, Rachel.

"레이첼, 당신 말에도 일리가 있다는 걸 부정하지는 않아요.

I've had some qualms myself.

나도 몇 가지 걱정이 없지는 않았어요.

But Matthew was terrible set on it.

하지만 매슈가 너무나 완강하게 원했거든요.

I could see that, so I gave in.

그걸 알 수 있었기에 결국 따르기로 했어요.
