Heart of Darkness — Page 3
And at last, in its curved and imperceptible fall, the sun sank low, and from glowing white changed to a dull red without rays and without heat, as if about to go out suddenly, stricken to death by the touch of that gloom brooding over a crowd of men.
그리고 마침내, 완만하고 감지할 수 없는 하강 속에서 태양은 낮게 가라앉았고, 빛나는 흰빛에서 광선도 열기도 없는 칙칙한 붉은빛으로 변하였으며, 마치 수많은 사람들 위에 드리운 그 어둠의 손길에 치명상을 입어 갑자기 꺼져버릴 것처럼 보였다.
Forthwith a change came over the waters, and the serenity became less brilliant but more profound.
이윽고 수면에 변화가 찾아왔고, 고요함은 덜 찬란해졌지만 더욱 깊어졌다.
The old river in its broad reach rested unruffled at the decline of day, after ages of good service done to the race that peopled its banks, spread out in the tranquil dignity of a waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth.
넓은 물줄기를 이루는 오래된 강은 해가 저물 무렵 잔잔하게 쉬고 있었으며, 강변에 터를 잡은 사람들을 위해 오랜 세월 동안 헌신한 후, 지구의 끝까지 이어지는 수로의 고요한 위엄 속에 펼쳐져 있었다.
We looked at the venerable stream not in the vivid flush of a short day that comes and departs for ever, but in the august light of abiding memories.
우리는 그 유서 깊은 강을 왔다가 영원히 떠나버리는 짧은 하루의 선명한 빛 속에서가 아니라, 변함없이 남아 있는 기억들의 장엄한 빛 속에서 바라보았다.
And indeed nothing is easier for a man who has, as the phrase goes, "followed the sea" with reverence and affection, than to evoke the great spirit of the past upon the lower reaches of the Thames.
그리고 실로, 흔히 말하듯 경외심과 애정을 가지고 "바다를 따라온" 사람에게 있어, 템스 강 하류에서 과거의 위대한 정신을 불러일으키는 것보다 더 쉬운 일은 없다.
The tidal current runs to and fro in its unceasing service, crowded with memories of men and ships it had borne to the rest of home or to the battles of the sea.
조류는 쉼없이 오가며 흐르고, 고향의 안식처로 혹은 바다의 전장으로 실어 날랐던 사람들과 배들의 기억으로 가득 차 있다.
It had known and served all the men of whom the nation is proud, from Sir Francis Drake to Sir John Franklin, knights all, titled and untitled—the great knights-errant of the sea.
그 강은 프랜시스 드레이크 경에서 존 프랭클린 경에 이르기까지, 작위를 가졌든 그렇지 않든, 모두 기사들인, 나라가 자랑스러워하는 모든 이들을 알았고 그들을 섬겼다—바다의 위대한 편력 기사들을.
