OUR SOCIETY

우리 사회

IN the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses above a certain rent are women.

우선, 크랜퍼드는 아마존 여인들의 지배 아래 있다. 일정 임대료 이상의 집을 소유한 사람들은 모두 여성이다.

If a married couple come to settle in the town, somehow the gentleman disappears; he is either fairly frightened to death by being the only man in the Cranford evening parties, or he is accounted for by being with his regiment, his ship, or closely engaged in business all the week in the great neighbouring commercial town of Drumble, distant only twenty miles on a railroad.

기혼 부부가 마을에 정착하러 오면, 어찌된 영문인지 남자는 사라져 버린다. 크랜퍼드의 저녁 모임에서 유일한 남자로 있다가 완전히 겁에 질려 죽을 지경이 되거나, 아니면 그의 연대나 함선에 있거나, 철도로 불과 이십 마일 떨어진 인근 대도시 드럼블에서 온 주 내내 사업에 몰두하고 있는 것으로 설명된다.

In short, whatever does become of the gentlemen, they are not at Cranford.

요컨대, 신사들이 어찌 되었든 간에, 그들은 크랜퍼드에 없다.

What could they do if they were there?

설령 그들이 그곳에 있다 한들 무엇을 할 수 있겠는가?

The surgeon has his round of thirty miles, and sleeps at Cranford; but every man cannot be a surgeon.

외과 의사는 삼십 마일을 순회하며 크랜퍼드에서 잠을 자지만, 모든 남자가 외과 의사일 수는 없다.

For keeping the trim gardens full of choice flowers without a weed to speck them; for frightening away little boys who look wistfully at the said flowers through the railings; for rushing out at the geese that occasionally venture in to the gardens if the gates are left open; for deciding all questions of literature and politics without troubling themselves with unnecessary reasons or arguments; for obtaining clear and correct knowledge of everybody's affairs in the parish; for keeping their neat maid-servants in admirable order; for kindness (somewhat dictatorial) to the poor, and real tender good offices to each other whenever they are in distress, the ladies of Cranford are quite sufficient.

잡초 하나 없이 엄선된 꽃들로 가득한 단정한 정원을 가꾸는 일, 울타리 너머로 그 꽃들을 동경하는 눈길로 바라보는 꼬마 아이들을 쫓아내는 일, 문이 열려 있을 때 이따금 정원으로 들어오려는 거위들을 향해 달려나가는 일, 불필요한 이유나 논거로 스스로를 번거롭게 하지 않고 문학과 정치의 모든 문제를 결정하는 일, 교구 내 모든 사람들의 사정을 명확하고 정확하게 파악하는 일, 단정한 하녀들을 훌륭하게 통솔하는 일, 가난한 이들에 대한 친절함(다소 독단적이기는 하지만), 그리고 어려움에 처할 때마다 서로에게 베푸는 진심 어린 다정한 호의를 위해, 크랜퍼드의 여인들은 충분히 제 몫을 해낸다.
