Heart of Darkness — Page 13
I am ready to do anything, anything for you.
저는 당신을 위해서라면 무슨 일이든, 무슨 일이든 할 준비가 되어 있어요.
It is a glorious idea.
정말 훌륭한 생각이에요.
I know the wife of a very high personage in the Administration, and also a man who has lots of influence with,' etc.
저는 행정부의 아주 높은 분의 부인을 알고 있고, 또한 많은 영향력을 가진 분도 알고 있어요,' 등등.
She was determined to make no end of fuss to get me appointed skipper of a river steamboat, if such was my fancy.
그녀는 그것이 내 바람이라면, 나를 강 증기선의 선장으로 임명시키기 위해 끝없이 소동을 벌이기로 작정했다.
I got my appointment—of course; and I got it very quick.
나는 임명을 받았다—물론이지; 그것도 아주 빠르게.
It appears the Company had received news that one of their captains had been killed in a scuffle with the natives.
회사는 자사의 선장 중 한 명이 원주민들과의 싸움에서 살해되었다는 소식을 받은 것 같았다.
This was my chance, and it made me the more anxious to go.
이것이 나의 기회였고, 그것은 나를 더욱 가고 싶게 만들었다.
It was only months and months afterwards, when I made the attempt to recover what was left of the body, that I heard the original quarrel arose from a misunderstanding about some hens.
몇 달이 지나고 나서야, 내가 시신의 남은 부분을 수습하려 했을 때, 나는 원래의 다툼이 몇 마리 암탉에 관한 오해에서 비롯되었다는 것을 들었다.
Yes, two black hens.
그렇다, 검은 암탉 두 마리였다.
Fresleven—that was the fellow's name, a Dane—thought himself wronged somehow in the bargain, so he went ashore and started to hammer the chief of the village with a stick.
프레슬레벤—그것이 그 사내의 이름이었는데, 덴마크인이었다—은 거래에서 어떻게든 자신이 부당한 대우를 받았다고 생각하여, 육지로 올라가 마을 추장을 막대기로 두들겨 패기 시작했다.
Oh, it didn't surprise me in the least to hear this, and at the same time to be told that Fresleven was the gentlest, quietest creature that ever walked on two legs.
오, 이 이야기를 들었을 때 나는 조금도 놀라지 않았으며, 동시에 프레슬레벤이 두 발로 걸어 다닌 생명체 중 가장 온순하고 조용한 사람이었다는 말을 들었을 때도 마찬가지였다.
No doubt he was; but he had been a couple of years already out there engaged in the noble cause, you know, and he probably felt the need at last of asserting his self-respect in some way.
의심할 여지 없이 그는 그런 사람이었다; 하지만 그는 이미 몇 년간 그곳에서 숭고한 대의에 종사하고 있었고, 알다시피, 그는 마침내 어떤 방식으로든 자존심을 내세울 필요를 느꼈을 것이다.
