Little Women — Page 13
Or a nurse, so I could be near him and help him," exclaimed Jo, with a groan.
"아니면 간호사라도 되면, 아버지 곁에 있으면서 도와드릴 수 있을 텐데," 조가 신음하며 외쳤다.
"It must be very disagreeable to sleep in a tent, and eat all sorts of bad-tasting things, and drink out of a tin mug," sighed Amy.
"텐트에서 자고, 온갖 맛없는 것들을 먹고, 양철 컵으로 물을 마시는 건 정말 불편할 거야," 에이미가 한숨을 쉬었다.
"When will he come home, Marmee?" asked Beth, with a little quiver in her voice.
"아버지는 언제 집에 오세요, 마미?" 베스가 목소리를 약간 떨며 물었다.
"Not for many months, dear, unless he is sick.
"몇 달은 더 있어야 해, 얘야, 아프지 않으시다면야.
He will stay and do his work faithfully as long as he can, and we won't ask for him back a minute sooner than he can be spared.
아버지는 할 수 있는 한 그곳에 머물면서 충실히 일하실 거야, 그리고 우리는 아버지가 자리를 비울 수 있기 전에 단 1분도 일찍 돌아오시길 바라지 않을 거야.
Now come and hear the letter."
자, 이리 와서 편지를 들어보렴."
They all drew to the fire, Mother in the big chair with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm of the chair, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should happen to be touching.
모두 난롯가로 모여들었는데, 어머니는 큰 의자에 앉고 베스는 그 발치에 앉았으며, meg과 에이미는 의자 양쪽 팔걸이에 걸터앉았고, 조는 등받이에 기대었다. 편지가 감동적일 경우 아무도 자신의 감정 표현을 볼 수 없는 자리였다.
Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially those which fathers sent home.
그 힘든 시절에 쓰인 편지치고 감동적이지 않은 것은 거의 없었으며, 특히 아버지들이 집으로 보낸 편지들은 더욱 그러했다.
In this one little was said of the hardships endured, the dangers faced, or the homesickness conquered.
이 편지에는 견뎌낸 고난이나 맞닥뜨린 위험, 혹은 극복한 향수병에 대한 이야기가 거의 없었다.
It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches, and military news, and only at the end did the writer's heart over-flow with fatherly love and longing for the little girls at home.
그것은 밝고 희망찬 편지로, 야영 생활과 행군, 군사 소식에 대한 생생한 묘사로 가득했으며, 편지의 끝에 이르러서야 비로소 쓴 이의 마음이 집에 있는 어린 딸들을 향한 아버지의 사랑과 그리움으로 넘쳐흘렀다.
"Give them all of my dear love and a kiss.
"그 애들 모두에게 나의 깊은 사랑과 키스를 전해줘.
