The Adventures of Roderick Random — Page 2

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 8/10

The attentive sage, after some deliberation, assured my parents, that their firstborn would be a great traveller; that he would undergo many dangers and difficulties, and at last return to his native land, where he would flourish in happiness and reputation.

주의 깊은 현자는 잠시 숙고한 후, 내 부모님께 그들의 맏아들이 위대한 여행자가 될 것이며, 많은 위험과 어려움을 겪은 끝에 마침내 고향 땅으로 돌아와 행복과 명성 속에서 번영할 것이라고 확언했다.

How truly this was foretold will appear in the sequel.

이 예언이 얼마나 사실이었는지는 이후의 이야기에서 드러날 것이다.

It was not long before some officious person informed my grandfather of certain familiarities that passed between his son and housekeeper which alarmed him so much that, a few days after, he told my father it was high time for him to think of settling;

얼마 지나지 않아 어떤 참견하기 좋아하는 자가 할아버지께 그의 아들과 가정부 사이에 오간 어떤 친밀한 행동들을 알렸고, 이에 크게 놀란 할아버지는 며칠 후 아버지에게 이제 자리를 잡을 때가 되었다고 말씀하셨다.

and that he had provided a match for him, to which he could in justice have no objections.

그리고 그를 위해 혼처를 마련해 두었으니, 그로서는 정당하게 이의를 제기할 수 없을 것이라고 하셨다.

My father, finding it would be impossible to conceal his situation much longer, frankly owned what he had done;

아버지는 자신의 상황을 더 이상 숨기는 것이 불가능하다고 판단하여, 자신이 한 일을 솔직하게 털어놓으셨다.

and excused himself for not having asked the consent of his father, by saying, he knew it would have been to no purpose;

그리고 아버지의 동의를 구하지 않은 것에 대해, 그렇게 했더라도 아무 소용이 없었을 것임을 알고 있었다고 말하며 변명하셨다.

and that, had his inclination been known, my grandfather might have taken such measures as would have effectually put the gratification of it out of his power:

또한 만약 자신의 마음이 알려졌더라면, 할아버지께서 그 욕구를 충족하는 것을 완전히 불가능하게 만들 조치를 취하셨을 것이라고 하셨다.

he added, that no exceptions could be taken to his wife's virtue, birth, beauty, and good sense, and as for fortune, it was beneath his care.

그는 덧붙이기를, 아내의 덕성, 가문, 미모, 분별력에 대해서는 어떤 이의도 제기할 수 없을 것이며, 재산에 관해서는 자신이 신경 쓸 바가 아니라고 하셨다.

The old gentleman, who kept all his passions, except one, in excellent order, heard him to an end with great temper, and then calmly asked, how he proposed to maintain himself and spouse?

단 하나를 제외한 모든 감정을 훌륭하게 다스리던 그 노신사는 매우 침착하게 끝까지 그의 말을 들으신 후, 조용히 그가 자신과 배우자를 어떻게 부양할 생각인지를 물으셨다.
