One house only, which was just opposite to the one in which the foreign learned man lived, formed a contrast to all this, for it was quite still; and yet somebody dwelt there, for flowers stood in the balcony, blooming beautifully in the hot sun; and this could not have been unless they had been watered carefully.

외국인 학자가 살고 있는 집의 바로 맞은편에 있는 단 한 채의 집만이 이 모든 것과 대조를 이루고 있었는데, 그 집은 매우 조용했다. 그러나 누군가가 그곳에 살고 있었으니, 발코니에 꽃들이 서서 뜨거운 햇볕 속에 아름답게 피어 있었기 때문이다. 그리고 이것은 꽃들이 정성껏 물을 받지 않았다면 불가능했을 것이다.

Therefore some one must be in the house to do this.

따라서 누군가가 이 일을 하기 위해 집 안에 있어야 했다.

The doors leading to the balcony were half opened in the evening; and although in the front room all was dark, music could be heard from the interior of the house.

발코니로 이어지는 문들은 저녁이 되면 반쯤 열려 있었고, 앞방은 온통 어두웠지만 집 안쪽에서는 음악 소리가 들려왔다.

The foreign learned man considered this music very delightful; but perhaps he fancied it; for everything in these warm countries pleased him, excepting the heat of the sun.

외국인 학자는 이 음악이 매우 기분 좋다고 생각했다. 하지만 어쩌면 그것은 그의 상상이었을지도 모른다. 왜냐하면 햇볕의 열기를 제외하고는 이 따뜻한 나라의 모든 것이 그를 기쁘게 했기 때문이다.

The foreign landlord said he did not know who had taken the opposite house--nobody was to be seen there; and as to the music, he thought it seemed very tedious, to him most uncommonly so.

외국인 집주인은 맞은편 집을 누가 얻었는지 모른다고 말했다. 그곳에서는 아무도 보이지 않았고, 음악에 관해서는 매우 지루하게 느껴진다고, 자신에게는 유난히도 그렇다고 생각했다.

"It is just as if some one was practising a piece that he could not manage; it is always the same piece.

"마치 누군가가 자신이 능숙하게 연주하지 못하는 곡을 연습하고 있는 것 같다. 항상 같은 곡이다.

He thinks, I suppose, that he will be able to manage it at last; but I do not think so, however long he may play it."

그는 결국 그것을 능숙하게 연주할 수 있을 거라고 생각하는 것 같다. 하지만 나는 그렇게 생각하지 않는다, 아무리 오래 연주하더라도."

Once the foreigner woke in the night.

한번은 그 외국인이 밤중에 잠에서 깼다.
