Dracula — Page 2

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 7/10

Having had some time at my disposal when in London, I had visited the British Museum, and made search among the books and maps in the library regarding Transylvania; it had struck me that some foreknowledge of the country could hardly fail to have some importance in dealing with a nobleman of that country.

런던에 있을 때 여유 시간이 생겨 대영 박물관을 방문하여 트란실바니아에 관한 도서관의 책과 지도를 찾아보았다. 그 나라에 대한 사전 지식이 그 나라의 귀족을 상대하는 데 어느 정도 중요성을 가지지 않을 수 없다는 생각이 들었다.

I find that the district he named is in the extreme east of the country, just on the borders of three states, Transylvania, Moldavia and Bukovina, in the midst of the Carpathian mountains; one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe.

그가 언급한 지역은 나라의 극동쪽, 트란실바니아, 몰다비아, 부코비나 세 지방의 경계가 맞닿는 곳으로 카르파티아 산맥 한가운데에 위치하며, 유럽에서 가장 험하고 알려지지 않은 지역 중 하나임을 알게 되었다.

I was not able to light on any map or work giving the exact locality of the Castle Dracula, as there are no maps of this country as yet to compare with our own Ordnance Survey maps; but I found that Bistritz, the post town named by Count Dracula, is a fairly well-known place.

이 나라에는 우리의 지형 측량 지도에 견줄 만한 지도가 아직 없어서, 드라큘라 성의 정확한 위치를 알려 주는 지도나 자료를 찾을 수 없었다. 하지만 드라큘라 백작이 언급한 우편 도시 비스트리츠는 꽤 잘 알려진 곳임을 알게 되었다.

I shall enter here some of my notes, as they may refresh my memory when I talk over my travels with Mina.

미나와 여행 이야기를 나눌 때 기억을 되살리는 데 도움이 될 수 있으니, 여기에 내 메모 일부를 적어 두겠다.

In the population of Transylvania there are four distinct nationalities: Saxons in the South, and mixed with them the Wallachs, who are the descendants of the Dacians; Magyars in the West, and Szekelys in the East and North.

트란실바니아의 주민은 네 가지 뚜렷한 민족으로 이루어져 있다. 남부에는 색슨족이 있고, 그들과 섞여 다키아인의 후손인 왈라키아인이 살고 있으며, 서부에는 마자르족, 동부와 북부에는 세케이족이 있다.

I am going among the latter, who claim to be descended from Attila and the Huns.

나는 아틸라와 훈족의 후손이라고 주장하는 후자, 즉 세케이족이 사는 곳으로 가고 있다.

This may be so, for when the Magyars conquered the country in the eleventh century they found the Huns settled in it.

이것은 사실일 수도 있는데, 마자르족이 11세기에 이 나라를 정복했을 때 훈족이 이미 그곳에 정착해 있었기 때문이다.
