Dracula — Page 5

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 7/10

They wore high boots, with their trousers tucked into them, and had long black hair and heavy black moustaches.

그들은 바지를 집어넣은 높은 장화를 신고 있었으며, 길고 검은 머리카락과 짙은 검은 콧수염을 가지고 있었다.

They are very picturesque, but do not look prepossessing.

그들은 매우 그림 같은 모습이었지만, 호감을 주는 인상은 아니었다.

On the stage they would be set down at once as some old Oriental band of brigands.

무대 위라면 그들은 즉시 오래된 동양의 강도단으로 분류될 것이었다.

They are, however, I am told, very harmless and rather wanting in natural self-assertion.

그러나 전해 들은 바로는, 그들은 매우 순하고 타고난 자기주장이 다소 부족하다고 한다.

It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old place.

우리가 비스트리츠에 도착했을 때는 황혼이 어둠으로 기울어지는 시간이었는데, 그곳은 매우 흥미로운 오래된 마을이었다.

Being practically on the frontier--for the Borgo Pass leads from it into Bukovina--it has had a very stormy existence, and it certainly shows marks of it.

사실상 국경 지대에 위치해 있어서--보르고 고개가 그곳에서 부코비나로 이어지기 때문에--이 마을은 매우 파란만장한 역사를 지녀 왔으며, 그 흔적이 분명히 남아 있었다.

Fifty years ago a series of great fires took place, which made terrible havoc on five separate occasions.

오십 년 전에는 일련의 큰 화재가 발생하여 다섯 차례에 걸쳐 끔찍한 피해를 입혔다.

At the very beginning of the seventeenth century it underwent a siege of three weeks and lost 13,000 people, the casualties of war proper being assisted by famine and disease.

17세기 초에는 삼 주간의 포위 공격을 받아 13,000명을 잃었는데, 전쟁으로 인한 사상자에 더하여 기근과 질병이 그 피해를 더욱 키웠다.

Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country.

드라큘라 백작은 나에게 골든 크로네 호텔로 가라고 지시했는데, 그곳이 완전히 구식임을 알고 나는 매우 기뻤다. 물론 나는 이 나라의 풍습을 최대한 많이 보고 싶었기 때문이었다.

I was evidently expected, for when I got near the door I faced a cheery-looking elderly woman in the usual peasant dress--white undergarment with long double apron, front, and back, of coloured stuff fitting almost too tight for modesty.

나는 분명히 기다려지고 있었던 것 같았는데, 문 가까이 다가갔을 때 평범한 농부 복장을 한 명랑해 보이는 노부인과 마주쳤기 때문이다--앞뒤로 긴 이중 앞치마가 달린 흰 속옷 차림으로, 색깔 있는 천이 단정함의 한계에 닿을 만큼 꼭 맞게 입혀져 있었다.

When I came close she bowed and said, "The Herr Englishman?" "Yes," I said, "Jonathan Harker.

내가 가까이 다가가자 그녀는 허리를 굽히며 말했다. "영국인 나리이신가요?" "예," 나는 말했다, "조나단 하커입니다.
