Little Women — Page 6

English → Korean CHAPTER ONE Level 6/10

It was a comfortable room, though the carpet was faded and the furniture very plain, for a good picture or two hung on the walls, books filled the recesses, chrysanthemums and Christmas roses bloomed in the windows, and a pleasant atmosphere of home peace pervaded it.

카펫이 바래고 가구도 매우 단순했지만, 벽에는 한두 점의 좋은 그림이 걸려 있고, 벽감에는 책이 가득하며, 창가에는 국화와 크리스마스 장미가 피어 있었고, 가정의 평화로운 분위기가 방 안에 가득 퍼져 있어 아늑한 방이었다.

Margaret, the eldest of the four, was sixteen, and very pretty, being plump and fair, with large eyes, plenty of soft brown hair, a sweet mouth, and white hands, of which she was rather vain.

네 자매 중 맏이인 마거릿은 열여섯 살로 매우 예뻤는데, 통통하고 피부가 고왔으며, 큰 눈과 풍성하고 부드러운 갈색 머리카락, 사랑스러운 입매, 그리고 하얀 손을 가지고 있었고, 그 손에 대해 꽤 자부심을 품고 있었다.

Fifteen-year-old Jo was very tall, thin, and brown, and reminded one of a colt, for she never seemed to know what to do with her long limbs, which were very much in her way.

열다섯 살의 조는 키가 매우 크고 마르고 피부가 그을려 있어 망아지를 연상시켰는데, 자신의 긴 팔다리를 어떻게 해야 할지 모르는 것 같았고 그 팔다리가 늘 거추장스러운 듯했다.

She had a decided mouth, a comical nose, and sharp, gray eyes, which appeared to see everything, and were by turns fierce, funny, or thoughtful.

그녀는 단호한 입매와 익살스러운 코, 날카로운 회색 눈을 가지고 있었는데, 그 눈은 모든 것을 꿰뚫어 보는 듯했고 때로는 맹렬하게, 때로는 우습게, 때로는 사려 깊게 빛났다.

Her long, thick hair was her one beauty, but it was usually bundled into a net, to be out of her way.

길고 풍성한 머리카락이 그녀의 유일한 아름다움이었지만, 거추장스럽지 않도록 보통은 망 속에 뭉쳐 넣어 두었다.

Round shoulders had Jo, big hands and feet, a flyaway look to her clothes, and the uncomfortable appearance of a girl who was rapidly shooting up into a woman and didn't like it.

조는 어깨가 둥글게 굽었고 손발이 컸으며 옷은 흐트러진 모양새였고, 빠르게 여성으로 성장해 가면서도 그 사실이 마뜩잖은 소녀의 어색한 외모를 지니고 있었다.

Elizabeth, or Beth, as everyone called her, was a rosy, smooth-haired, bright-eyed girl of thirteen, with a shy manner, a timid voice, and a peaceful expression which was seldom disturbed.

엘리자베스, 즉 모두가 부르는 이름인 베스는 열세 살로 혈색이 좋고 머리카락이 단정하며 눈이 초롱초롱한 소녀였는데, 수줍은 태도와 소심한 목소리, 그리고 좀처럼 흔들리지 않는 평온한 표정을 지니고 있었다.
