Anne of Green Gables — Page 11
It's so seldom Matthew sets his mind on anything that when he does I always feel it's my duty to give in.
매슈가 무언가에 마음을 정하는 일이 워낙 드물어서, 그가 마음을 정했을 때는 언제나 내가 따라줘야 할 의무가 있다고 느껴요.
And as for the risk, there's risks in pretty near everything a body does in this world.
그리고 위험에 관해서라면, 이 세상에서 사람이 하는 거의 모든 일에는 위험이 따르는 법이에요.
There's risks in people's having children of their own if it comes to that--they don't always turn out well.
그 문제라면 사람들이 자기 아이를 갖는 것에도 위험이 있는 법이에요—아이들이 항상 잘 자라는 건 아니니까요.
And then Nova Scotia is right close to the Island.
게다가 노바스코샤는 섬에서 아주 가깝잖아요.
It isn't as if we were getting him from England or the States.
영국이나 미국에서 데려오는 것도 아니잖아요.
He can't be much different from ourselves."
우리와 크게 다를 리가 없어요."
"Well, I hope it will turn out all right," said Mrs. Rachel in a tone that plainly indicated her painful doubts.
"글쎄요, 잘 되길 바라죠," 레이철 부인이 고통스러운 의구심을 역력히 드러내는 어조로 말했다.
"Only don't say I didn't warn you if he burns Green Gables down or puts strychnine in the well--I heard of a case over in New Brunswick where an orphan asylum child did that and the whole family died in fearful agonies.
"다만 그 애가 그린 게이블즈에 불을 지르거나 우물에 스트리크닌을 넣어도 내가 경고하지 않았다고 하지는 마세요—뉴브런즈윅에서 고아원 아이가 그런 짓을 해서 온 가족이 끔찍한 고통 속에 죽었다는 사건을 들은 적이 있어요.
Only, it was a girl in that instance."
다만, 그 경우는 여자아이였지만요."
"Well, we're not getting a girl," said Marilla, as if poisoning wells were a purely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in the case of a boy.
"글쎄, 우리는 여자아이를 데려오는 게 아니잖아요," 마릴라가 말했는데, 마치 우물에 독을 넣는 일이 순전히 여자아이나 하는 짓이고 남자아이의 경우에는 두려워할 필요가 없다는 듯한 말투였다.
I'd never dream of taking a girl to bring up.
여자아이를 데려다 키울 생각은 꿈에도 없어요.
I wonder at Mrs. Alexander Spencer for doing it.
알렉산더 스펜서 부인이 그런 일을 하다니 놀랍군요.
But there, _she_ wouldn't shrink from adopting a whole orphan asylum if she took it into her head."
하지만 뭐, 그 분은 마음만 먹으면 고아원 전체를 입양하는 것도 마다하지 않을 사람이니까요."
Mrs. Rachel would have liked to stay until Matthew came home with his imported orphan.
레이철 부인은 매슈가 데려온 고아를 데리고 집에 돌아올 때까지 머물고 싶었다.
