Heart of Darkness — Page 2

English → Korean Full Text Level 9/10

Besides holding our hearts together through long periods of separation, it had the effect of making us tolerant of each other's yarns—and even convictions.

오랜 이별의 시간 동안 우리의 마음을 하나로 묶어주는 것 외에도, 그것은 서로의 이야기들—심지어 신념들까지도—을 너그럽게 받아들이게 만드는 효과가 있었다.

The Lawyer—the best of old fellows—had, because of his many years and many virtues, the only cushion on deck, and was lying on the only rug.

변호사—더없이 훌륭한 옛 동료—는 그의 오랜 세월과 많은 덕망 덕분에 갑판 위의 유일한 쿠션을 차지하고, 유일한 깔개 위에 누워 있었다.

The Accountant had brought out already a box of dominoes, and was toying architecturally with the bones.

회계사는 이미 도미노 한 상자를 꺼내놓고, 뼈패들을 건축물처럼 쌓으며 장난을 치고 있었다.

Marlow sat cross-legged right aft, leaning against the mizzen-mast.

말로는 선미 쪽에 가부좌를 틀고 앉아, 미즌 돛대에 기대고 있었다.

He had sunken cheeks, a yellow complexion, a straight back, an ascetic aspect, and, with his arms dropped, the palms of hands outwards, resembled an idol.

그는 움푹 패인 뺨, 누런 안색, 곧은 등, 금욕적인 외모를 지니고 있었으며, 팔을 늘어뜨리고 손바닥을 바깥쪽으로 향한 채 마치 우상처럼 보였다.

The director, satisfied the anchor had good hold, made his way aft and sat down amongst us.

선장은 닻이 단단히 걸렸음을 확인하고, 선미 쪽으로 걸어와 우리 사이에 앉았다.

We exchanged a few words lazily.

우리는 느긋하게 몇 마디를 나누었다.

Afterwards there was silence on board the yacht.

그 후 요트 위에는 침묵이 흘렀다.

For some reason or other we did not begin that game of dominoes.

어떤 이유에서인지 우리는 도미노 게임을 시작하지 않았다.

We felt meditative, and fit for nothing but placid staring.

우리는 명상적인 기분이 들었고, 고요히 바라보는 것 외에는 아무것도 할 수 없을 것 같았다.

The day was ending in a serenity of still and exquisite brilliance.

하루는 고요하고 정교한 광휘의 고요함 속에서 저물어가고 있었다.

The water shone pacifically; the sky, without a speck, was a benign immensity of unstained light; the very mist on the Essex marsh was like a gauzy and radiant fabric, hung from the wooded rises inland, and draping the low shores in diaphanous folds.

수면은 평화롭게 빛났고, 한 점의 얼룩도 없는 하늘은 오염되지 않은 빛의 자애로운 광대함이었으며, 에식스 습지의 안개조차도 내륙의 숲이 우거진 구릉에서 드리워진 얇고 빛나는 천 같았고, 낮은 해안을 투명한 주름으로 감싸고 있었다.

Only the gloom to the west, brooding over the upper reaches, became more sombre every minute, as if angered by the approach of the sun.

오직 상류 쪽을 짓누르며 서쪽에 드리운 어둠만이, 마치 태양의 접근에 분노한 듯, 매 순간 더욱 어두워져 갔다.
