Crime and Punishment — Page 5

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 8/10

It looks absurd and that makes it noticeable....

그것은 터무니없어 보이고, 그래서 눈에 띄게 된다....

With my rags I ought to wear a cap, any sort of old pancake, but not this grotesque thing.

이런 누더기 차림에는 모자를 써야 하는데, 낡아빠진 것이라도 괜찮지만, 이런 괴상한 물건은 안 된다.

Nobody wears such a hat, it would be noticed a mile off, it would be remembered....

아무도 그런 모자를 쓰지 않는다, 멀리서도 눈에 띌 것이고, 기억에 남을 것이다....

What matters is that people would remember it, and that would give them a clue.

중요한 것은 사람들이 그것을 기억할 것이고, 그것이 단서가 될 수 있다는 점이다.

For this business one should be as little conspicuous as possible....

이 일을 위해서는 가능한 한 눈에 띄지 않아야 한다....

Trifles, trifles are what matter! Why, it's just such trifles that always ruin everything....

사소한 것들, 사소한 것들이 중요하다! 바로 그런 사소한 것들이 항상 모든 것을 망치는 법이다....

He had not far to go; he knew indeed how many steps it was from the gate of his lodging house: exactly seven hundred and thirty.

그는 멀리 갈 필요가 없었다; 그는 자신의 하숙집 문에서 몇 걸음인지 정확히 알고 있었다: 정확히 칠백삼십 걸음이었다.

He had counted them once when he had been lost in dreams.

그는 한때 몽상에 빠져 있을 때 그 걸음 수를 세어 본 적이 있었다.

At the time he had put no faith in those dreams and was only tantalising himself by their hideous but daring recklessness.

그 당시 그는 그 몽상들을 전혀 믿지 않았으며, 그것들의 끔찍하지만 대담한 무모함으로 스스로를 애태울 뿐이었다.

Now, a month later, he had begun to look upon them differently, and, in spite of the monologues in which he jeered at his own impotence and indecision, he had involuntarily come to regard this "hideous" dream as an exploit to be attempted, although he still did not realise this himself.

이제 한 달이 지난 후, 그는 그것들을 다르게 바라보기 시작했고, 자신의 무력함과 우유부단함을 조롱하던 독백에도 불구하고, 자신도 모르는 사이에 이 '끔찍한' 몽상을 시도해야 할 위업으로 여기게 되었다. 비록 그 자신은 아직 이를 깨닫지 못하고 있었지만.

He was positively going now for a "rehearsal" of his project, and at every step his excitement grew more and more violent.

그는 이제 자신의 계획을 '예행연습'하러 가고 있었고, 발걸음을 옮길 때마다 그의 흥분은 점점 더 격렬해졌다.

With a sinking heart and a nervous tremor, he went up to a huge house which on one side looked on to the canal, and on the other into the street.

가슴이 철렁 내려앉고 신경질적인 떨림을 느끼며, 그는 한쪽은 운하를 바라보고 다른 쪽은 거리를 향한 거대한 건물로 다가갔다.
