Dracula — Page 7

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 7/10

It was so near the time of starting that I had no time to ask any one else, for it was all very mysterious and not by any means comforting.

출발 시간이 너무 임박해서 다른 누군가에게 물어볼 시간이 없었는데, 모든 것이 매우 신비롭고 결코 위안이 되지 않았기 때문이다.

Just before I was leaving, the old lady came up to my room and said in a very hysterical way:

내가 막 떠나려 할 때, 그 노부인이 내 방으로 올라와서 매우 흥분한 어조로 말했다:

"Must you go? Oh! young Herr, must you go?"

"꼭 가셔야 하나요? 오! 젊은 나리, 꼭 가셔야 하나요?"

She was in such an excited state that she seemed to have lost her grip of what German she knew, and mixed it all up with some other language which I did not know at all.

그녀는 너무나 흥분한 상태여서 알고 있던 독일어마저 제대로 구사하지 못하는 것 같았고, 내가 전혀 모르는 다른 언어와 뒤섞어 버렸다.

I was just able to follow her by asking many questions.

나는 여러 번 질문을 해가며 겨우 그녀의 말을 이해할 수 있었다.

When I told her that I must go at once, and that I was engaged on important business, she asked again:

내가 지금 당장 떠나야 하며 중요한 업무가 있다고 말하자, 그녀는 다시 물었다:

"Do you know what day it is?"

"오늘이 무슨 날인지 아세요?"

I answered that it was the fourth of May.

나는 5월 4일이라고 대답했다.

She shook her head as she said again:

그녀는 고개를 저으며 다시 말했다:

"Oh, yes! I know that! I know that, but do you know what day it is?"

"오, 그래요! 그건 알아요! 그건 알지만, 오늘이 무슨 날인지 아세요?"

On my saying that I did not understand, she went on:

내가 이해하지 못하겠다고 하자, 그녀는 계속했다:

"It is the eve of St. George's Day. Do you not know that to-night, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway? Do you know where you are going, and what you are going to?"

"오늘은 성 게오르기우스 축일 전야랍니다. 오늘 밤 자정을 알리는 종이 울리면 세상의 모든 악한 것들이 완전한 힘을 발휘한다는 걸 모르세요? 어디로 가시는지, 무엇을 향해 가시는지 아세요?"

She was in such evident distress that I tried to comfort her, but without effect.

그녀가 너무나 명백히 괴로워하는 것 같아서 나는 그녀를 위로하려 했지만, 아무 소용이 없었다.
