Great Expectations — Page 2

English → Korean Chapter I. Level 8/10

Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea.

우리 고향은 강가의 습지 지방으로, 강이 구불구불 흘러 바다까지 20마일 안에 있었다.

My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening.

사물의 본질에 대한 나의 첫 번째로 생생하고 폭넓은 인상은 기억에 남는 어느 을씨년스러운 저녁 무렵의 오후에 얻어진 것 같다.

At such a time I found out for certain that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip, late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with dikes and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that the low leaden line beyond was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind was rushing was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip.

바로 그런 때에 나는 쐐기풀이 무성하게 자란 이 황량한 곳이 교회 묘지라는 것을, 그리고 이 교구의 고인이 된 필립 피립과 그의 아내 조지아나가 죽어 묻혀 있다는 것을, 그리고 앞서 말한 이들의 어린 자녀들인 알렉산더, 바솔로뮤, 에이브러햄, 토비아스, 그리고 로저 역시 죽어 묻혀 있다는 것을, 그리고 교회 묘지 너머 도랑과 둔덕과 문들로 교차된 어둡고 평평한 황야에 소들이 흩어져 풀을 뜯고 있는 곳이 습지라는 것을, 그리고 그 너머의 낮고 납빛의 선이 강이라는 것을, 그리고 바람이 몰아쳐 오는 저 멀리 험악한 소굴이 바다라는 것을, 그리고 이 모든 것이 두려워 떨며 울기 시작하는 작은 떨림 덩어리가 바로 핍이라는 것을 확실히 알게 되었다.

"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch.

"조용히 해!" 교회 현관 옆 무덤들 사이에서 한 남자가 불쑥 일어서며 무시무시한 목소리로 외쳤다.

"Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"

"꼼짝 마, 이 꼬마 악마야, 안 그러면 목을 따버리겠어!"

A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg.

거칠고 회색빛 옷을 온통 걸치고 다리에 커다란 쇠사슬을 찬, 두려움을 주는 남자였다.

A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head.

모자도 없고, 신발은 낡아 해어지고, 머리에는 낡은 헝겊을 두른 남자였다.
