Certainly not; but if you observe, people always live for ever when there is an annuity to be paid them; and she is very stout and healthy, and hardly forty.
물론 그렇지 않죠. 하지만 잘 보세요, 연금을 받아야 할 사람들은 언제나 영원히 사는 법이에요. 게다가 그분은 아주 건강하고 튼튼하며, 겨우 마흔 살밖에 안 됐잖아요.
An annuity is a very serious business; it comes over and over every year, and there is no getting rid of it.
연금이란 정말 심각한 문제예요. 매년 반복해서 찾아오고, 거기서 벗어날 방법이 없거든요.
You are not aware of what you are doing.
당신은 지금 자신이 무슨 일을 하려는지 제대로 모르는 거예요.
I have known a great deal of the trouble of annuities; for my mother was clogged with the payment of three to old superannuated servants by my father's will, and it is amazing how disagreeable she found it.
저는 연금 문제가 얼마나 골치 아픈지 잘 알아요. 아버지의 유언에 따라 어머니는 늙어서 은퇴한 하인 세 명에게 연금을 지불해야 했는데, 어머니가 그것을 얼마나 불쾌하게 여기셨는지 놀라울 정도였어요.
Twice every year these annuities were to be paid; and then there was the trouble of getting it to them; and then one of them was said to have died, and afterwards it turned out to be no such thing.
매년 두 번씩 이 연금들을 지불해야 했고, 그것을 그들에게 전달하는 것도 번거로운 일이었어요. 게다가 그중 한 명이 죽었다는 말이 있었다가 나중에는 그게 사실이 아닌 것으로 밝혀지기도 했죠.
My mother was quite sick of it.
어머니는 그 일에 정말 넌더리가 나셨어요.
Her income was not her own, she said, with such perpetual claims on it; and it was the more unkind in my father, because, otherwise, the money would have been entirely at my mother's disposal, without any restriction whatever.
어머니는 이렇게 끊임없는 청구가 있으니 수입이 자기 것이 아니라고 하셨어요. 게다가 그렇지 않았더라면 그 돈이 아무런 제한 없이 전적으로 어머니 마음대로 쓸 수 있었을 텐데, 그러니 아버지가 더욱 야속하게 느껴지셨던 거죠.
It has given me such an abhorrence of annuities, that I am sure I would not pin myself down to the payment of one for all the world."
그 일 때문에 저는 연금이라면 정말 진저리가 나서, 세상 무엇을 준다 해도 절대 연금 지불에 얽매이지 않을 거예요."
"It is certainly an unpleasant thing," replied Mr. Dashwood, "to have those kind of yearly drains on one's income.
"그것은 분명 불쾌한 일이죠," 대쉬우드 씨가 대답했습니다. "그런 식으로 매년 수입이 빠져나가는 건 말이에요.
One's fortune, as your mother justly says, is _not_ one's own.
당신 어머니께서 옳게 말씀하신 것처럼, 재산이란 온전히 자기 것이 아니니까요.
