Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 2

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 7/10

"Jane, I don't like cavillers or questioners; besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner. Be seated somewhere; and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent."

"제인, 나는 트집 잡는 사람이나 따지는 사람을 좋아하지 않아. 게다가 아이가 그런 식으로 어른에게 대드는 것은 정말 용납할 수 없는 일이야. 어디 가서 앉아 있어라. 그리고 기분 좋게 말할 수 있을 때까지는 아무 말도 하지 마라."

A breakfast-room adjoined the drawing-room, I slipped in there.

응접실 옆에 아침 식사를 하는 방이 있었는데, 나는 살그머니 그 안으로 들어갔다.

It contained a bookcase: I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures.

그 방에는 책장이 있었다. 나는 그림이 많이 실린 책을 골라 곧 한 권을 손에 넣었다.

I mounted into the window-seat: gathering up my feet, I sat cross-legged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.

나는 창가 자리에 올라앉았다. 발을 모아 터키인처럼 다리를 꼬고 앉아서, 붉은 모린 커튼을 거의 다 치고 나니, 나는 이중으로 아늑하게 둘러싸인 은신처에 깃든 것 같았다.

Folds of scarlet drapery shut in my view to the right hand; to the left were the clear panes of glass, protecting, but not separating me from the drear November day.

오른쪽으로는 주홍빛 커튼 주름이 시야를 가로막았고, 왼쪽으로는 투명한 유리창이 있어 음산한 11월의 날씨로부터 나를 보호하면서도 완전히 차단하지는 않았다.

At intervals, while turning over the leaves of my book, I studied the aspect of that winter afternoon.

나는 책장을 넘기는 사이사이에 그 겨울 오후의 풍경을 들여다보았다.

Afar, it offered a pale blank of mist and cloud; near a scene of wet lawn and storm-beat shrub, with ceaseless rain sweeping away wildly before a long and lamentable blast.

멀리로는 안개와 구름으로 창백하게 텅 빈 풍경이 펼쳐졌고, 가까이로는 젖은 잔디밭과 폭풍에 두들겨 맞은 관목들이 보였으며, 길고 처량한 바람 앞에 쉼 없는 비가 사납게 휩쓸려 지나갔다.

I returned to my book—Bewick's History of British Birds: the letterpress thereof I cared little for, generally speaking; and yet there were certain introductory pages that, child as I was, I could not pass quite as a blank.

나는 다시 책으로 눈을 돌렸다. 비윅의 『영국 조류의 역사』였다. 그 본문은 대체로 별로 관심이 없었지만, 그럼에도 어린아이였던 나조차 그냥 흘려 넘길 수 없었던 몇몇 서문 페이지들이 있었다.
