Great Expectations — Page 5

English → Korean Chapter II. Level 8/10

My sister had a trenchant way of cutting our bread and butter for us, that never varied.

우리 누나는 우리를 위해 버터 바른 빵을 자르는 날카롭고 변함없는 방식을 가지고 있었다.

First, with her left hand she jammed the loaf hard and fast against her bib,—where it sometimes got a pin into it, and sometimes a needle, which we afterwards got into our mouths.

먼저, 그녀는 왼손으로 빵 덩어리를 앞치마에 세게 밀착시켰는데, 그러면 가끔 핀이 빵에 박히기도 하고, 가끔은 바늘이 박히기도 했으며, 우리는 나중에 그것을 입 안에서 발견하곤 했다.

Then she took some butter (not too much) on a knife and spread it on the loaf, in an apothecary kind of way, as if she were making a plaster,—using both sides of the knife with a slapping dexterity, and trimming and moulding the butter off round the crust.

그런 다음 그녀는 칼에 버터를 약간(너무 많지 않게) 묻혀 빵에 펴 발랐는데, 마치 약제사가 고약을 만들 듯한 방식으로, 칼의 양면을 찰싹거리는 솜씨로 사용하면서 빵 가장자리를 따라 버터를 다듬고 모양을 잡았다.

Then, she gave the knife a final smart wipe on the edge of the plaster, and then sawed a very thick round off the loaf: which she finally, before separating from the loaf, hewed into two halves, of which Joe got one, and I the other.

그런 다음 그녀는 칼을 고약 가장자리에 마지막으로 날렵하게 닦아내고, 빵 덩어리에서 아주 두꺼운 한 조각을 톱질하듯 잘라냈다. 그리고 그것을 빵 덩어리에서 완전히 분리하기 전에 두 쪽으로 찍어 나눴는데, 조가 한 쪽을 받고 나는 나머지 한 쪽을 받았다.

On the present occasion, though I was hungry, I dared not eat my slice.

이번에는, 배가 고팠음에도 불구하고, 나는 감히 내 몫을 먹을 수가 없었다.

I felt that I must have something in reserve for my dreadful acquaintance, and his ally the still more dreadful young man.

나는 그 무시무시한 지인과, 그보다 더욱 무시무시한 그의 동료 젊은 남자를 위해 무언가를 남겨두어야 한다고 느꼈다.

I knew Mrs. Joe's housekeeping to be of the strictest kind, and that my larcenous researches might find nothing available in the safe.

나는 조 아주머니의 살림살이가 아주 엄격한 종류임을 알고 있었고, 내가 몰래 찾아보더라도 찬장에서 쓸 만한 것을 아무것도 찾지 못할 수도 있다는 것을 알았다.

Therefore I resolved to put my hunk of bread and butter down the leg of my trousers.

그래서 나는 버터 바른 빵 덩어리를 바지 다리 속에 집어넣기로 결심했다.

The effort of resolution necessary to the achievement of this purpose I found to be quite awful.

이 목적을 달성하는 데 필요한 결단의 노력이 실로 대단한 것임을 나는 깨달았다.
