English → Korean CHAPTER II. Level 7/10

And what possible claim could the Miss Dashwoods, who were related to him only by half blood, which she considered as no relationship at all, have on his generosity to so large an amount.

그리고 대시우드 양들이, 이복 혈연으로만 그와 관련되어 있을 뿐이며 그녀는 그것을 아무런 친척 관계도 아닌 것으로 여겼는데, 그토록 많은 금액에 대해 그의 관대함을 요구할 수 있는 근거가 도대체 무엇이란 말인가.

It was very well known that no affection was ever supposed to exist between the children of any man by different marriages; and why was he to ruin himself, and their poor little Harry, by giving away all his money to his half sisters?

서로 다른 결혼에서 태어난 어떤 남자의 자녀들 사이에는 애정이 존재할 것으로 여겨진 적이 없다는 것은 누구나 잘 아는 사실이었다. 그런데 왜 그가 이복 누이들에게 자신의 돈을 모두 나누어 줌으로써 자신과 불쌍한 어린 해리를 망하게 해야 한단 말인가?

"It was my father's last request to me," replied her husband, "that I should assist his widow and daughters."

"그것은 저에 대한 아버지의 마지막 부탁이었습니다," 남편이 대답했다, "제가 그분의 미망인과 딸들을 도와야 한다고요."

"He did not know what he was talking of, I dare say; ten to one but he was light-headed at the time.

"그분은 자신이 무슨 말을 하고 있는지 몰랐을 거예요, 감히 말씀드리건대; 십중팔구 그 당시 그분은 정신이 혼미한 상태였을 거예요.

Had he been in his right senses, he could not have thought of such a thing as begging you to give away half your fortune from your own child."

그분이 제정신이었다면, 당신 자신의 자식에게서 재산의 절반을 떼어 주라고 당신에게 애원하는 그런 일을 생각조차 할 수 없었을 거예요."

"He did not stipulate for any particular sum, my dear Fanny; he only requested me, in general terms, to assist them, and make their situation more comfortable than it was in his power to do.

"그분은 특정한 금액을 조건으로 정하지는 않으셨어요, 내 사랑 패니; 그분은 단지 일반적인 말로 그들을 도와주고, 그분이 할 수 있는 것보다 그들의 상황을 더 편안하게 만들어 달라고 제게 부탁하셨을 뿐이에요.

Perhaps it would have been as well if he had left it wholly to myself.

아마도 그분이 그것을 전적으로 저에게 맡겨 두셨더라면 더 나았을지도 모르죠.

He could hardly suppose I should neglect them.

그분은 제가 그들을 소홀히 할 것이라고는 거의 생각하지 않으셨을 거예요.

But as he required the promise, I could not do less than give it; at least I thought so at the time.

하지만 그분이 약속을 요구하셨기에, 저는 그것을 드리지 않을 수 없었어요; 적어도 그 당시에는 그렇게 생각했어요.

The promise, therefore, was given, and must be performed.

따라서 약속은 한 것이고, 반드시 이행되어야 합니다.
