Crime and Punishment — Page 1
On an exceptionally hot evening early in July a young man came out of the garret in which he lodged in S. Place and walked slowly, as though in hesitation, towards K. bridge.
7월 초의 유난히 무더운 저녁, S. 광장의 다락방에 세 들어 살던 한 청년이 방에서 나와 마치 망설이는 듯 천천히 K. 다리 쪽으로 걸어갔다.
He had successfully avoided meeting his landlady on the staircase.
그는 계단에서 집주인 여자와 마주치는 것을 무사히 피했다.
His garret was under the roof of a high, five-storied house and was more like a cupboard than a room.
그의 다락방은 높은 5층짜리 건물의 지붕 바로 아래에 있었으며, 방이라기보다는 벽장에 가까웠다.
The landlady who provided him with garret, dinners, and attendance, lived on the floor below, and every time he went out he was obliged to pass her kitchen, the door of which invariably stood open.
다락방과 식사, 시중을 제공해 주는 집주인 여자는 아래층에 살았는데, 그가 외출할 때마다 항상 문이 열려 있는 그녀의 부엌 앞을 지나쳐야만 했다.
And each time he passed, the young man had a sick, frightened feeling, which made him scowl and feel ashamed.
그리고 그곳을 지날 때마다 청년은 메스껍고 두려운 기분이 들어 얼굴을 찌푸리며 수치심을 느꼈다.
He was hopelessly in debt to his landlady, and was afraid of meeting her.
그는 집주인 여자에게 도저히 갚을 수 없을 만큼 빚을 지고 있었고, 그녀와 마주치는 것이 두려웠다.
This was not because he was cowardly and abject, quite the contrary; but for some time past he had been in an overstrained irritable condition, verging on hypochondria.
이는 그가 비겁하거나 비굴해서가 아니라, 오히려 그 반대였다. 다만 한동안 그는 지나치게 긴장되고 신경질적인 상태에 빠져 있었으며, 거의 건강염려증에 가까운 지경이었다.
He had become so completely absorbed in himself, and isolated from his fellows that he dreaded meeting, not only his landlady, but anyone at all.
그는 완전히 자기 자신에게만 몰두한 채 주변 사람들로부터 고립되어, 집주인 여자뿐만 아니라 그 어떤 사람과도 마주치는 것을 두려워하게 되었다.
He was crushed by poverty, but the anxieties of his position had of late ceased to weigh upon him.
그는 가난에 짓눌려 있었지만, 최근 들어서는 자신의 처지에 대한 불안감이 더 이상 그를 짓누르지 않게 되었다.
He had given up attending to matters of practical importance; he had lost all desire to do so.
그는 실질적으로 중요한 일들에 신경 쓰는 것을 포기했고, 그렇게 하려는 욕구를 완전히 잃어버렸다.
Nothing that any landlady could do had a real terror for him.
집주인 여자가 어떤 행동을 하더라도 그에게 진정한 공포가 되지는 못했다.
