One evening, as he sat in his study, a very gentle tap was heard at the door.

어느 날 저녁, 그가 서재에 앉아 있을 때, 문에서 아주 가벼운 노크 소리가 들렸다.

"Come in," said he; but no one came.

"들어오세요," 그가 말했지만, 아무도 오지 않았다.

He opened the door, and there stood before him a man so remarkably thin that he felt seriously troubled at his appearance.

그가 문을 열자, 앞에 너무나 눈에 띄게 여윈 남자가 서 있어서 그는 그의 외모에 심각하게 불안을 느꼈다.

He was, however, very well dressed, and looked like a gentleman.

그러나 그는 매우 잘 차려입고 있었으며, 신사처럼 보였다.

"To whom have I the honor of speaking?" said he.

"누구에게 말씀드리는 영광을 얻게 되었습니까?" 그가 말했다.

"Ah, I hoped you would recognize me," said the elegant stranger;

"아, 저를 알아봐 주실 거라 기대했습니다," 우아한 낯선 이가 말했다.

"I have gained so much that I have a body of flesh, and clothes to wear.

"저는 이렇게 많이 얻어서 이제 살로 이루어진 몸과 입을 옷을 갖게 되었습니다.

You never expected to see me in such a condition.

당신은 제가 이런 모습으로 나타날 거라고는 전혀 기대하지 않으셨겠지요.

Do you not recognize your old shadow?

당신의 옛 그림자를 알아보지 못하시겠습니까?

Ah, you never expected that I should return to you again.

아, 당신은 제가 다시 돌아올 거라고는 전혀 기대하지 않으셨겠지요.

All has been prosperous with me since I was with you last; I have become rich in every way, and, were I inclined to purchase my freedom from service, I could easily do so.

마지막으로 당신 곁에 있었던 이후로 저는 모든 것이 번창했습니다. 저는 모든 면에서 부유해졌으며, 만약 제가 예속에서 벗어나는 자유를 살 마음이 있다면, 쉽게 그렇게 할 수 있을 것입니다.

And as he spoke he rattled between his fingers a number of costly trinkets which hung to a thick gold watch-chain he wore round his neck.

그리고 그가 말하는 동안 그는 목에 두른 굵은 금 시계 줄에 달린 값비싼 장신구들을 손가락 사이에서 딸랑딸랑 흔들었다.

Diamond rings sparkled on his fingers, and it was all real.

그의 손가락에는 다이아몬드 반지들이 반짝이고 있었으며, 그것들은 모두 진짜였다.

"I cannot recover from my astonishment," said the learned man.

"저는 놀라움에서 벗어날 수가 없습니다," 학식 있는 남자가 말했다.

"What does all this mean?"

"이 모든 것이 무슨 의미입니까?"

"Something rather unusual," said the shadow; "but you are yourself an uncommon man, and you know very well that I have followed in your footsteps ever since your childhood.

"다소 특별한 일이지요," 그림자가 말했다. "하지만 당신 자신도 평범하지 않은 분이시니, 당신의 어린 시절부터 제가 당신의 발자취를 따라왔다는 것을 잘 알고 계실 것입니다.
