The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 6
For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room."
예를 들어, 당신은 홀에서 이 방으로 올라오는 계단을 자주 보았잖아요."
"Frequently."
"자주 보았죠."
"How often?"
"얼마나 자주요?"
"Well, some hundreds of times."
"글쎄요, 수백 번은 됩니다."
"Then how many are there?"
"그렇다면 계단이 몇 개나 됩니까?"
"How many? I don't know."
"몇 개냐고요? 모르겠는데요."
"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point.
"바로 그렇습니다! 당신은 관찰하지 않았어요. 그러면서도 보기는 했죠. 그게 바로 제 요점입니다.
Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed.
저는 계단이 열일곱 개라는 것을 알고 있습니다. 보는 동시에 관찰도 했기 때문이죠.
By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this."
그런데, 당신이 이런 사소한 문제들에 관심이 있고, 제 하찮은 경험들을 한두 가지 기록해 주실 만큼 친절하시니, 이것도 흥미로우실 겁니다."
He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted notepaper which had been lying open upon the table.
그는 탁자 위에 펼쳐져 있던 두껍고 분홍빛이 도는 편지지 한 장을 건네주었다.
"It came by the last post," said he. "Read it aloud."
"마지막 우편으로 왔습니다," 그가 말했다. "소리 내어 읽어 보세요."
The note was undated, and without either signature or address.
그 쪽지에는 날짜도 없었고, 서명도 주소도 없었다.
"There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o'clock," it said, "a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment.
"오늘 밤 8시 15분 전에 당신을 방문할 것입니다," 라고 쓰여 있었다. "지극히 중대한 사안에 대해 당신과 상의하기를 원하는 한 신사가.
Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated.
유럽의 한 왕실에 대한 당신의 최근 공헌은 아무리 과장해도 지나치지 않을 중요한 사안들을 안심하고 맡길 수 있는 분임을 보여 주었습니다.
This account of you we have from all quarters received.
당신에 대한 이러한 평판은 사방에서 전해 들었습니다.
Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask."
그 시간에 방에 계셔 주시고, 방문자가 가면을 쓰고 있더라도 불쾌하게 여기지 마시기 바랍니다."
"This is indeed a mystery," I remarked.
"이것은 정말 수수께끼 같군요," 나는 말했다.
