But neither the lieutenant nor any one in the street could recognize them as their own, so he gave them up to the police.

하지만 중위도, 거리의 어느 누구도 그것들을 자신의 것으로 알아보지 못했기 때문에, 그는 그것들을 경찰에 넘겼다.

"They look exactly like my own goloshes," said one of the clerks, examining the unknown articles, as they stood by the side of his own.

"이것들은 제 덧신과 똑같이 생겼군요," 하고 직원 중 한 명이 말했는데, 그는 자신의 덧신 옆에 놓인 정체불명의 물건들을 살펴보고 있었다.

"It would require even more than the eye of a shoemaker to know one pair from the other."

"한 켤레와 다른 켤레를 구별하려면 구두장이의 눈으로도 부족할 것입니다."

"Master clerk," said a servant who entered with some papers.

"직원님," 하고 서류를 들고 들어온 하인이 말했다.

The clerk turned and spoke to the man; but when he had done with him, he turned to look at the goloshes again, and now he was in greater doubt than ever as to whether the pair on the right or on the left belonged to him.

직원은 몸을 돌려 그 남자와 이야기를 나눴다. 하지만 그와의 용무가 끝나자, 그는 다시 덧신들을 바라보았고, 이제 오른쪽 것과 왼쪽 것 중 어느 것이 자신의 것인지 그 어느 때보다 더 큰 의심에 빠졌다.

"Those that are wet must be mine," thought he; but he thought wrong, it was just the reverse.

"젖은 것이 내 것임에 틀림없어," 라고 그는 생각했다. 하지만 그의 생각은 틀렸으니, 사실은 정반대였다.

The goloshes of Fortune were the wet pair; and, besides, why should not a clerk in a police office be wrong sometimes?

행운의 덧신이 바로 젖은 쌍이었다. 게다가, 경찰서의 직원이 가끔 틀릴 수도 있지 않겠는가?

So he drew them on, thrust his papers into his pocket, placed a few manuscripts under his arm, which he had to take with him, and to make abstracts from at home.

그래서 그는 덧신을 신고, 서류를 주머니에 쑤셔 넣고, 집에서 요약본을 만들기 위해 가져가야 할 원고 몇 장을 겨드랑이에 끼었다.

Then, as it was Sunday morning and the weather very fine, he said to himself, "A walk to Fredericksburg will do me good:" so away he went.

그때 일요일 아침이었고 날씨도 매우 좋았기에, 그는 속으로 "프레데릭스버그까지 산책하면 좋겠군"이라고 생각했고, 그렇게 그는 길을 나섰다.

There could not be a quieter or more steady young man than this clerk.

이 직원보다 더 조용하고 성실한 젊은이는 없을 것이었다.
