Keeping faith with a fact about the world that had not changed and would not change: she had gone down that lane in the morning, and so she would come back down it in the afternoon, and it was worth pausing at the gate to confirm this.

변하지 않았고 변하지 않을 세상의 한 가지 사실에 대한 믿음을 지키며: 그녀는 아침에 그 골목길을 따라 내려갔고, 그러므로 오후에 다시 그 길을 따라 돌아올 것이었으며, 대문 앞에서 잠시 멈춰 이것을 확인할 가치가 있었다.

Malee understood something then that she did not try to put into words for several years.

말레는 그때 무언가를 이해했지만, 그것을 말로 표현하려 하지 않은 채 몇 년이 지났다.

She went inside to start the rice, and he followed her in, and the gate swung gently closed behind them in the late afternoon heat.

그녀는 밥을 짓기 위해 안으로 들어갔고, 그가 그녀를 따라 들어갔으며, 늦은 오후의 열기 속에서 대문이 그들 뒤로 조용히 닫혔다.
