The Adventures of Roderick Random — Page 3
He replied, he could be in no danger of wanting while his father's tenderness remained, which he and his wife should always cultivate with the utmost veneration; and he was persuaded his allowance would be suitable to the dignity and circumstances of his family, and to the provision already made for his brothers and sisters, who were happily settled under his protection.
그는 아버지의 자애로움이 남아 있는 한 궁핍할 염려는 없을 것이며, 자신과 아내는 항상 지극한 경외심으로 그것을 소중히 여길 것이라고 대답했다. 또한 자신에게 주어질 용돈은 가문의 품위와 형편에 걸맞을 것이며, 이미 그의 보호 아래 행복하게 자리를 잡은 형제자매들에게 마련해 준 것과도 균형이 맞을 것이라고 확신한다고 했다.
"Your brothers and sisters," said my grandfather, "did not think it beneath them to consult me in an affair of such importance as matrimony; neither, I suppose, would you have omitted that piece of duty, had you not some secret fund in reserve; to the comforts of which I leave you, with a desire that you will this night seek out another habitation for yourself and wife, whither, in a short time, I will send you an account of the expense I have been at in your education, with a view of being reimbursed.
"네 형제자매들은," 나의 할아버지가 말씀하셨다, "결혼처럼 중요한 일에 있어 나와 상의하는 것을 자신들의 체면에 어긋나는 일이라 여기지 않았다. 너 역시, 내 생각엔, 은밀히 비축해 둔 재산이 없었다면 그런 도리를 소홀히 하지는 않았을 것이다. 그 재산의 혜택이나 누리거라. 다만 오늘 밤 안으로 너와 네 아내가 머물 다른 거처를 구하도록 하여라. 머지않아 내가 네 교육에 들인 비용 명세서를 보내줄 것이니, 그것을 돌려받을 생각이다."
Sir, you have made the grand tour—you are a polite gentleman—a very pretty gentleman—I wish you a great deal of joy, and am your very humble servant."
"자네는 그랜드 투어도 다녀왔지 않은가. 세련된 신사, 참으로 근사한 신사로군. 부디 크나큰 행복을 누리시길 바라며, 나는 자네의 지극히 겸손한 종복이오."
So saying, he left my father in a situation easily imagined.
그렇게 말하고는, 그는 아버지를 충분히 짐작할 수 있는 처지에 남겨두고 떠났다.
