THE OLD HOUSE

낡은 집

A very old house stood once in a street with several that were quite new and clean.

아주 오래된 집 한 채가 새롭고 깨끗한 집들이 여러 채 늘어선 거리에 서 있었습니다.

The date of its erection had been carved on one of the beams, and surrounded by scrolls formed of tulips and hop-tendrils; by this date it could be seen that the old house was nearly three hundred years old.

건축된 날짜가 들보 중 하나에 새겨져 있었고, 튤립과 홉 덩굴손으로 이루어진 소용돌이 무늬로 둘러싸여 있었습니다. 이 날짜를 보면 낡은 집이 거의 삼백 년이 되었다는 것을 알 수 있었습니다.

Verses too were written over the windows in old-fashioned letters, and grotesque faces, curiously carved, grinned at you from under the cornices.

창문 위에는 고풍스러운 글씨로 시구도 적혀 있었고, 처마 돌림띠 아래에는 기이하게 조각된 괴상한 얼굴들이 이쪽을 보며 히죽거리고 있었습니다.

One story projected a long way over the other, and under the roof ran a leaden gutter, with a dragon's head at the end.

한 층은 다른 층보다 훨씬 앞으로 튀어나와 있었고, 지붕 아래에는 끝에 용의 머리가 달린 납으로 만든 홈통이 이어져 있었습니다.

The rain was intended to pour out at the dragon's mouth, but it ran out of his body instead, for there was a hole in the gutter.

빗물은 용의 입으로 쏟아져 나오게 되어 있었지만, 홈통에 구멍이 뚫려 있었기 때문에 용의 몸통으로 새어 나왔습니다.

The other houses in the street were new and well built, with large window panes and smooth walls.

거리의 다른 집들은 새것이고 잘 지어져 있었으며, 큰 창유리와 매끄러운 벽을 갖추고 있었습니다.

Any one could see they had nothing to do with the old house.

누가 봐도 그 집들은 낡은 집과 아무런 관계가 없었습니다.

Perhaps they thought, "How long will that heap of rubbish remain here to be a disgrace to the whole street.

아마도 그 집들은 이렇게 생각했을지도 모릅니다. "저 쓰레기 더미 같은 것이 얼마나 더 여기 남아서 거리 전체의 망신을 시킬 것인가.

The parapet projects so far forward that no one can see out of our windows what is going on in that direction.

난간이 너무 앞으로 튀어나와 있어서 우리 창문으로는 그쪽 방향에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 아무도 볼 수 없다.

The stairs are as broad as the staircase of a castle, and as steep as if they led to a church-tower.

계단은 성의 계단처럼 넓고, 교회 탑으로 이어지는 것처럼 가파르다.

The iron railing looks like the gate of a cemetery, and there are brass knobs upon it.

철제 난간은 묘지의 문처럼 생겼고, 그 위에는 놋쇠 손잡이들이 달려 있다.

It is really too ridiculous."

정말 너무 우스꽝스럽다."
