Little Women — Page 9
There is so much to do about the play for Christmas night," said Jo, marching up and down, with her hands behind her back, and her nose in the air.
"크리스마스 밤 연극에 대해 할 일이 너무 많아," 조가 두 손을 등 뒤에 모으고 코를 치켜든 채 이리저리 행진하며 말했다.
"I don't mean to act any more after this time. I'm getting too old for such things," observed Meg, who was as much a child as ever about 'dressing-up' frolics.
"이번이 지나면 더 이상 연기하지 않을 거야. 이런 것들을 하기엔 내가 너무 나이가 들었어," 하고 메그가 말했는데, 그녀는 '차려입기' 놀이에 관해서는 여전히 어린아이나 다름없었다.
"You won't stop, I know, as long as you can trail round in a white gown with your hair down, and wear gold-paper jewelry. You are the best actress we've got, and there'll be an end of everything if you quit the boards," said Jo.
"넌 그만두지 않을 거야, 알아, 머리를 풀어헤치고 흰 가운을 질질 끌며 돌아다니고 금종이 장신구를 달 수 있는 한은. 넌 우리 중 최고의 배우야, 네가 무대를 떠나면 모든 게 끝이라고," 조가 말했다.
"We ought to rehearse tonight. Come here, Amy, and do the fainting scene, for you are as stiff as a poker in that."
"우리 오늘 밤 리허설을 해야 해. 이리 와, 에이미, 기절하는 장면을 해봐, 네가 그 장면에서 부지깽이처럼 뻣뻣하거든."
"I can't help it. I never saw anyone faint, and I don't choose to make myself all black and blue, tumbling flat as you do. If I can go down easily, I'll drop. If I can't, I shall fall into a chair and be graceful. I don't care if Hugo does come at me with a pistol," returned Amy, who was not gifted with dramatic power, but was chosen because she was small enough to be borne out shrieking by the villain of the piece.
"어쩔 수 없잖아. 나는 기절하는 사람을 본 적도 없고, 네가 하는 것처럼 펑 쓰러져서 온몸을 멍투성이로 만들고 싶지 않아. 자연스럽게 쓰러질 수 있으면 쓰러지고, 그게 안 되면 의자에 우아하게 쓰러질 거야. 휴고가 권총을 들고 달려들어도 상관없어," 에이미가 대꾸했다. 그녀는 극적인 재능이 있는 건 아니었지만, 악당에게 비명을 지르며 들려 나가기에 충분할 만큼 몸집이 작았기 때문에 선발된 것이었다.
"Do it this way. Clasp your hands so, and stagger across the room, crying frantically, 'Roderigo! Save me! Save me!'" and away went Jo, with a melodramatic scream which was truly thrilling.
"이렇게 해봐. 이렇게 두 손을 꼭 맞잡고, 방을 비틀비틀 가로질러, '로데리고! 살려줘! 살려줘!'라고 미친 듯이 외치는 거야," 하며 조는 정말이지 소름 돋는 과장된 비명을 지르며 내달렸다.
