Heart of Darkness — Page 11
I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in all the glories of exploration.
나는 몇 시간이고 남아메리카나 아프리카, 혹은 오스트레일리아를 바라보며 탐험의 온갖 영광 속에 나 자신을 잃곤 했다.
At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a map (but they all look that) I would put my finger on it and say, 'When I grow up I will go there.'
그 당시에는 지구상에 공백으로 남은 곳이 많았는데, 지도에서 특히나 마음을 끄는 빈 곳을 발견하면 (하지만 빈 곳은 다 그렇게 보이기 마련이지만) 나는 그 위에 손가락을 얹고 '어른이 되면 저기에 가리라'고 말하곤 했다.
The North Pole was one of these places, I remember.
북극도 그런 곳들 중 하나였던 것으로 기억한다.
Well, I haven't been there yet, and shall not try now.
뭐, 나는 아직 그곳에 가보지 못했고, 이제는 시도하지도 않을 것이다.
The glamour's off.
그 매력은 사라졌다.
Other places were scattered about the hemispheres.
다른 곳들은 여러 반구에 흩어져 있었다.
I have been in some of them, and... well, we won't talk about that.
나는 그중 몇 군데에 가보았는데… 뭐, 그 얘기는 하지 말기로 하자.
But there was one yet—the biggest, the most blank, so to speak—that I had a hankering after.
하지만 그중에서도 하나가 있었는데, 말하자면 가장 크고 가장 공백으로 남아 있는 곳으로, 내가 몹시 갈망하던 곳이었다.
"True, by this time it was not a blank space any more.
"사실, 그 무렵에는 그곳도 더 이상 공백의 땅이 아니었다.
It had got filled since my boyhood with rivers and lakes and names.
내가 소년이었던 시절 이후로 그곳은 강과 호수와 지명들로 채워져 있었다.
It had ceased to be a blank space of delightful mystery—a white patch for a boy to dream gloriously over.
그곳은 더 이상 황홀한 신비의 공백, 소년이 찬란한 꿈을 꿀 수 있는 하얀 여백이 아니었다.
It had become a place of darkness.
그곳은 어둠의 땅이 되어 있었다.
But there was in it one river especially, a mighty big river, that you could see on the map, resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country, and its tail lost in the depths of the land.
하지만 그 안에는 특히 하나의 강이 있었는데, 지도에서도 볼 수 있는 거대한 강으로, 똬리를 풀고 늘어선 거대한 뱀처럼 보였으며, 머리는 바다에 닿아 있고, 몸통은 광대한 대륙 위로 멀리 굽이치며 뻗어 있고, 꼬리는 대지의 깊은 곳에서 사라지고 있었다.
