Notre-Dame de Paris — Page 14
It had been arranged for the purpose, early in the morning; its rich slabs of marble, all scratched by the heels of law clerks, supported a cage of carpenter's work of considerable height, the upper surface of which, within view of the whole hall, was to serve as the theatre, and whose interior, masked by tapestries, was to take the place of dressing-rooms for the personages of the piece.
그것은 아침 일찍 그 목적을 위해 마련되었는데, 법원 서기들의 발뒤꿈치에 온통 긁힌 풍성한 대리석 판들이 상당한 높이의 목수 작품으로 된 구조물을 떠받치고 있었으며, 그 윗면은 홀 전체에서 볼 수 있어 무대로 쓰이게 되어 있었고, 태피스트리로 가려진 내부는 극중 인물들을 위한 분장실 역할을 하게 되어 있었다.
A ladder, naively placed on the outside, was to serve as means of communication between the dressing-room and the stage, and lend its rude rungs to entrances as well as to exits.
순박하게도 바깥쪽에 놓인 사다리 하나가 분장실과 무대 사이의 통로 역할을 하게 되어 있었으며, 그 투박한 발판은 입장과 퇴장 모두에 쓰이게 되어 있었다.
There was no personage, however unexpected, no sudden change, no theatrical effect, which was not obliged to mount that ladder.
아무리 갑작스러운 인물이든, 어떤 급작스러운 변화든, 어떤 연극적 효과든, 그 사다리를 오르지 않아도 되는 것은 하나도 없었다.
Innocent and venerable infancy of art and contrivances!
예술과 기교의 순수하고도 경이로운 유년기여!
Four of the bailiff of the palace's sergeants, perfunctory guardians of all the pleasures of the people, on days of festival as well as on days of execution, stood at the four corners of the marble table.
궁전 집행관의 부하 병사 넷이 대리석 탁자의 네 모퉁이에 서 있었는데, 그들은 축제일에도 처형일에도 백성들의 온갖 오락을 형식적으로 지키는 감시자들이었다.
The piece was only to begin with the twelfth stroke of the great palace clock sounding midday.
공연은 오로지 궁전의 대형 시계가 정오를 알리는 열두 번째 종소리와 함께 시작되도록 되어 있었다.
It was very late, no doubt, for a theatrical representation, but they had been obliged to fix the hour to suit the convenience of the ambassadors.
연극 공연치고는 의심할 여지 없이 매우 늦은 시간이었지만, 대사들의 편의에 맞추어 시간을 정할 수밖에 없었던 것이다.
Now, this whole multitude had been waiting since morning.
그런데 이 모든 군중은 아침부터 기다리고 있었던 것이다.
