Heart of Darkness — Page 14
Therefore he whacked the old nigger mercilessly, while a big crowd of his people watched him, thunderstruck, till some man—I was told the chief's son—in desperation at hearing the old chap yell, made a tentative jab with a spear at the white man—and of course it went quite easy between the shoulder-blades.
그래서 그는 그 늙은 흑인을 무자비하게 두들겨 팼고, 그의 부족 사람들이 큰 무리를 이루어 넋을 잃고 그 광경을 지켜보는 동안, 어떤 남자가—추장의 아들이라고 들었는데—늙은이가 고함치는 소리를 듣고 절박한 나머지 백인을 향해 창으로 조심스럽게 찌르기를 시도했고—물론 창은 너무도 쉽게 어깨뼈 사이를 파고들었다.
Then the whole population cleared into the forest, expecting all kinds of calamities to happen, while, on the other hand, the steamer Fresleven commanded left also in a bad panic, in charge of the engineer, I believe.
그러자 주민 전체가 온갖 재앙이 닥칠 것을 예상하며 숲속으로 달아났고, 한편 프레슬레벤이 지휘하던 증기선도 엔지니어의 지휘 하에 크게 당황한 채 그곳을 떠났다고 나는 생각한다.
Afterwards nobody seemed to trouble much about Fresleven's remains, till I got out and stepped into his shoes.
그 후 내가 나서서 그의 자리를 물려받을 때까지 아무도 프레슬레벤의 유해에 대해 별로 신경 쓰지 않는 것 같았다.
I couldn't let it rest, though; but when an opportunity offered at last to meet my predecessor, the grass growing through his ribs was tall enough to hide his bones.
그렇다고 나는 그냥 내버려 둘 수가 없었다. 하지만 마침내 전임자를 찾아볼 기회가 생겼을 때, 그의 갈비뼈 사이로 자란 풀은 뼈를 가릴 만큼 충분히 높이 자라 있었다.
They were all there.
뼈들은 모두 그 자리에 있었다.
The supernatural being had not been touched after he fell.
그 초자연적인 존재는 쓰러진 후 아무도 건드리지 않았던 것이다.
And the village was deserted, the huts gaped black, rotting, all askew within the fallen enclosures.
그리고 마을은 폐허가 되어 있었고, 오두막들은 무너진 울타리 안에서 검게 입을 벌린 채 썩어 기울어져 있었다.
A calamity had come to it, sure enough.
재앙이 그곳을 덮친 것이 틀림없었다.
The people had vanished.
사람들은 사라져 버렸다.
Mad terror had scattered them, men, women, and children, through the bush, and they had never returned.
광기 어린 공포가 남자, 여자, 아이 할 것 없이 모두를 숲속으로 뿔뿔이 흩어지게 했고, 그들은 다시는 돌아오지 않았다.
What became of the hens I don't know either.
닭들이 어떻게 되었는지는 나도 모른다.
I should think the cause of progress got them, anyhow.
어쨌든 문명의 진보라는 명분이 그것들도 집어삼켰을 것이라고 생각한다.
However, through this glorious affair I got my appointment, before I had fairly begun to hope for it.
하지만 이 영광스러운 사건 덕분에 나는 채 기대를 품기도 전에 임명장을 받게 되었다.
