Cranford — Page 4

"You must keep thinking about the time, my dear, and not allow yourself to forget it in conversation."
"시간을 항상 염두에 두어야 해요, 얘야, 대화 중에 그것을 잊어버리면 안 돼요."
As everybody had this rule in their minds, whether they received or paid a call, of course no absorbing subject was ever spoken about.
방문을 받든 하든 간에 모두가 이 규칙을 마음속에 새기고 있었으므로, 물론 사람을 끌어당기는 주제는 결코 입에 오르지 않았다.
We kept ourselves to short sentences of small talk, and were punctual to our time.
우리는 짧은 잡담으로만 대화를 이어갔고, 시간을 철저히 지켰다.
I imagine that a few of the gentlefolks of Cranford were poor, and had some difficulty in making both ends meet; but they were like the Spartans, and concealed their smart under a smiling face.
크랜퍼드의 상류층 중 일부는 가난하여 수입과 지출을 맞추는 데 어려움을 겪었을 것이라 생각하지만, 그들은 스파르타인들처럼 고통을 웃는 얼굴 뒤에 감추었다.
We none of us spoke of money, because that subject savoured of commerce and trade, and though some might be poor, we were all aristocratic.
우리 중 누구도 돈 이야기를 하지 않았는데, 그 주제는 상업과 거래의 냄새가 났기 때문이며, 비록 일부는 가난할지라도 우리는 모두 귀족적이었다.
The Cranfordians had that kindly _esprit de corps_ which made them overlook all deficiencies in success when some among them tried to conceal their poverty.
크랜퍼드 사람들은 그 친절한 단결심을 지니고 있었기에, 그들 중 일부가 가난을 감추려 할 때 성공의 부족함을 모두 눈감아 주었다.
