Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World — Page 5
I was extremely tired, and with that, and the heat of the weather, and about half a pint of brandy that I drank as I left the ship, I found myself much inclined to sleep.
나는 극도로 피곤했고, 그런 상태에서 더운 날씨와 배를 떠날 때 마신 약 반 파인트의 브랜디까지 더해져 잠이 몹시 쏟아졌다.
I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, and, as I reckoned, about nine hours; for when I awaked, it was just day-light.
나는 아주 짧고 부드러운 풀밭에 누웠고, 거기서 내 평생 기억하는 그 어느 때보다도 깊이 잠들었는데, 내 계산으로는 약 아홉 시간쯤 잔 것 같았다. 깨어났을 때 막 날이 밝아오고 있었기 때문이다.
I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: for, as I happened to lie on my back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground; and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner.
나는 일어나려 했지만 꼼짝할 수가 없었다. 마침 등을 대고 누운 상태였는데, 팔과 다리가 양쪽으로 단단히 땅에 묶여 있었고, 길고 굵은 내 머리카락도 같은 방식으로 묶여 있었다.
I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my arm-pits to my thighs.
또한 겨드랑이에서 허벅지에 이르기까지 몸 전체에 걸쳐 여러 가닥의 가는 끈이 묶여 있는 것을 느꼈다.
I could only look upwards; the sun began to grow hot, and the light offended my eyes.
나는 위쪽만 바라볼 수 있었다. 태양이 점점 뜨거워지기 시작했고 빛이 눈을 자극했다.
I heard a confused noise about me; but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky.
주위에서 웅성거리는 소리가 들렸지만, 내가 누운 자세로는 하늘 외에는 아무것도 볼 수 없었다.
In a little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin; when, bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back.
잠시 후 왼쪽 다리 위에서 살아 있는 무언가가 움직이는 것이 느껴졌는데, 그것은 가슴 위를 살며시 앞으로 나아와 거의 내 턱 가까이까지 왔다. 눈을 최대한 아래쪽으로 내리깔았을 때, 나는 그것이 키가 여섯 인치도 안 되는 인간 형상의 생물로, 손에는 활과 화살을 들고 등에는 화살통을 메고 있음을 알아차렸다.
