Heart of Darkness — Page 4
It had borne all the ships whose names are like jewels flashing in the night of time, from the _Golden Hind_ returning with her rotund flanks full of treasure, to be visited by the Queen's Highness and thus pass out of the gigantic tale, to the _Erebus_ and _Terror_, bound on other conquests—and that never returned.
그것은 시간의 밤 속에서 번쩍이는 보석처럼 이름이 빛나는 모든 배들을 품어왔다. 여왕 폐하의 방문을 받고 그렇게 웅장한 이야기 속으로 사라진, 풍요로운 보물로 불룩한 옆구리를 가득 채우고 돌아온 _골든 하인드_호로부터, 다른 정복을 향해 나아갔으나 끝내 돌아오지 못한 _에레버스_호와 _테러_호에 이르기까지.
It had known the ships and the men.
그것은 그 배들과 그 사람들을 알고 있었다.
They had sailed from Deptford, from Greenwich, from Erith—the adventurers and the settlers; kings' ships and the ships of men on 'Change; captains, admirals, the dark "interlopers" of the Eastern trade, and the commissioned "generals" of East India fleets.
그들은 뎁트퍼드에서, 그리니치에서, 에리스에서 출항했다. 모험가들과 정착민들, 왕의 배들과 거래소의 상인들이 탄 배들, 선장들, 제독들, 동방 무역의 어두운 "침입자들", 그리고 동인도 함대의 임명된 "장군들"이 그러했다.
Hunters for gold or pursuers of fame, they all had gone out on that stream, bearing the sword, and often the torch, messengers of the might within the land, bearers of a spark from the sacred fire.
황금을 쫓는 자들이든 명성을 좇는 자들이든, 그들 모두는 칼을 들고, 그리고 때로는 횃불을 들고 저 강을 따라 나아갔다. 땅 안에 깃든 힘의 전령들이자, 성스러운 불꽃의 불씨를 지닌 자들로서.
What greatness had not floated on the ebb of that river into the mystery of an unknown earth!...
얼마나 많은 위대함이 저 강의 썰물을 타고 미지의 대지의 신비 속으로 흘러들어 갔던가!…
The dreams of men, the seed of commonwealths, the germs of empires.
인간의 꿈들, 공화국의 씨앗들, 제국의 싹들.
The sun set; the dusk fell on the stream, and lights began to appear along the shore.
해가 졌다. 어스름이 강 위로 내려앉고, 해안을 따라 불빛들이 나타나기 시작했다.
The Chapman light-house, a three-legged thing erect on a mud-flat, shone strongly.
진흙 갯벌 위에 세 발로 세워진 채프먼 등대가 강하게 빛을 발했다.
Lights of ships moved in the fairway—a great stir of lights going up and going down.
항로 위에서 배들의 불빛이 움직였다. 올라가고 내려가는 불빛들의 큰 소용돌이였다.
And farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky, a brooding gloom in sunshine, a lurid glare under the stars.
그리고 더 서쪽으로 강 상류 쪽에서는 거대한 도시의 자리가 여전히 하늘 위에 불길하게 표시되어 있었다. 햇빛 속의 음울한 어둠이자, 별빛 아래 섬뜩한 섬광으로.
