Light O' the Morning: The Story of an Irish Girl — Page 4

English → Korean CHAPTER I. Level 4/10

I have been two hours trying to get a wink of sleep, and just when I succeed you come in and wake me."

저는 두 시간 동안 잠깐이라도 잠을 자려고 애썼는데, 막 잠이 들려는 순간 당신이 들어와서 저를 깨웠어요."

"It's sorry I am to my heart's core," said Nora.

"정말 마음 깊이 미안해요," 노라가 말했다.

She went up to her mother, dropped on one knee, and looked with her rosy face into the worn and faded one of the elder woman.

그녀는 어머니에게 다가가 한쪽 무릎을 꿇고, 발그레한 얼굴로 나이 든 여인의 지치고 바랜 얼굴을 바라보았다.

"Here I am, mammy," she said again, "your own little Nora; let me sit with you a bit--may I?"

"여기 있어요, 엄마," 그녀가 다시 말했다. "엄마의 작은 노라예요. 잠깐 옆에 앉아도 될까요?"

Mrs. O'Shanaghgan smiled faintly.

오쉐너건 부인은 희미하게 미소를 지었다.

She looked all over the girl's slim figure, and finally her eyes rested on the laughing, lovely face.

그녀는 소녀의 날씬한 몸매를 훑어보다가, 마침내 시선이 웃음 띤 사랑스러운 얼굴에 머물렀다.

Then a cloud crossed her forehead, and her eyes became dim with tears.

그러다 그녀의 이마에 어두운 그림자가 드리워지고, 눈이 눈물로 흐려졌다.

"Have you heard the last thing, Nora?"

"마지막 소식 들었니, 노라?"

"There are so many last things, mother," said Nora.

"마지막 소식이 너무 많아요, 어머니," 노라가 말했다.

"But the very last.

"하지만 이번이 정말 마지막이야.

Your father has to pay back the money which Squire Murphy of Cronane lent him.

네 아버지가 크로네인의 머피 지주에게 빌린 돈을 갚아야 한단다.

It is the queerest thing; but the mortgagee means to foreclose, as he calls it, within three months if that money is not paid in full.

정말 이상한 일이지만, 저당권자라는 사람이 그 돈을 전부 갚지 않으면 석 달 안에 저당권을 실행하겠다고 한단다.

I know well what it means."

그게 무슨 뜻인지 나는 잘 알아."

Nora smiled.

노라는 미소를 지었다.

She took her mother's hand in hers, and began to stroke it gently.

그녀는 어머니의 손을 자신의 손에 감싸 쥐고 부드럽게 어루만지기 시작했다.

"I suppose," she said, "it means this.

"제 생각엔," 그녀가 말했다, "이런 뜻인 것 같아요.

It means that we must part with a little more of the beloved land, every sod of which I love.

우리가 사랑하는 땅, 한 조각 한 조각 모두 소중한 그 땅을 조금 더 내놓아야 한다는 뜻이겠지요.

We certainly do seem to be getting poorer and poorer; but never mind--nothing will ever alter the fact that--"

우리가 점점 더 가난해지는 것은 분명해 보이지만, 괜찮아요. 아무것도 이 사실만은 바꿀 수 없어요—"

"That what, child?

"그게 무슨 사실이니, 얘야?
