Cranford — Page 7

English → Korean CHAPTER I. Level 7/10

It was a word not to be mentioned to ears polite.

그것은 예의 바른 귀에는 언급해서는 안 될 말이었다.

We had tacitly agreed to ignore that any with whom we associated on terms of visiting equality could ever be prevented by poverty from doing anything that they wished.

우리는 동등한 방문 관계로 어울리는 사람들 중 누구라도 가난 때문에 원하는 것을 하지 못할 수 있다는 사실을 못 본 척하기로 암묵적으로 합의했다.

If we walked to or from a party, it was because the night was _so_ fine, or the air _so_ refreshing, not because sedan-chairs were expensive.

우리가 파티에 걸어가거나 걸어서 돌아온다면, 그것은 밤이 _너무나_ 아름답거나 공기가 _너무나_ 상쾌하기 때문이지, 가마가 비싸서가 아니었다.

If we wore prints, instead of summer silks, it was because we preferred a washing material; and so on, till we blinded ourselves to the vulgar fact that we were, all of us, people of very moderate means.

여름 실크 대신 프린트 옷을 입는다면, 그것은 세탁 가능한 소재를 선호했기 때문이었다. 이런 식으로, 우리는 우리 모두가 아주 평범한 수입을 가진 사람들이라는 천박한 사실을 스스로 외면하게 되었다.

Of course, then, we did not know what to make of a man who could speak of poverty as if it was not a disgrace.

물론, 그러니, 우리는 가난을 수치가 아닌 것처럼 말할 수 있는 사람을 어떻게 대해야 할지 몰랐다.

Yet, somehow, Captain Brown made himself respected in Cranford, and was called upon, in spite of all resolutions to the contrary.

그럼에도 불구하고, 어떻게든 브라운 대위는 크랜퍼드에서 존경을 받았고, 모든 반대 결의에도 불구하고 사람들의 방문을 받았다.

I was surprised to hear his opinions quoted as authority at a visit which I paid to Cranford about a year after he had settled in the town.

나는 그가 마을에 정착한 지 약 1년 후에 크랜퍼드를 방문했을 때, 그의 의견이 권위 있는 것으로 인용되는 것을 듣고 놀랐다.

My own friends had been among the bitterest opponents of any proposal to visit the Captain and his daughters, only twelve months before; and now he was even admitted in the tabooed hours before twelve.

불과 열두 달 전만 해도 나의 친구들은 대위와 그의 딸들을 방문하자는 어떤 제안에도 가장 격렬히 반대하는 사람들 중에 있었다. 그런데 이제 그는 열두 시 이전의 금지된 시간대에도 방문을 받게 되었다.
