The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 11

English → Korean Full Text Level 6/10

At present it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.

현재로서는 그것이 유럽의 역사에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 만큼 중대한 사안이라고 말해도 과언이 아닙니다.

"I promise," said Holmes.

"약속하겠습니다," 홈즈가 말했다.

"And I."

"저도요."

"You will excuse this mask," continued our strange visitor.

"이 가면을 양해해 주시기 바랍니다," 낯선 방문객이 말을 이었다.

"The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own."

"저를 고용하신 고귀한 분께서는 자신의 대리인이 당신에게 알려지지 않기를 바라시며, 제가 방금 밝힌 직함이 정확히 제 것이 아님을 솔직히 고백합니다."

"I was aware of it," said Holmes dryly.

"알고 있었습니다," 홈즈가 무뚝뚝하게 말했다.

"The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe.

"이 상황은 매우 민감하며, 유럽의 한 왕가를 심각하게 곤경에 빠뜨릴 수 있는 엄청난 스캔들로 번지지 않도록 모든 예방 조치를 취해야 합니다.

To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia."

솔직히 말씀드리자면, 이 사안은 보헤미아의 세습 왕가인 오름슈타인 가문과 관련되어 있습니다."

"I was also aware of that," murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

"그것도 알고 있었습니다," 홈즈가 중얼거리며 안락의자에 몸을 파묻고 눈을 감았다.

Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe.

방문객은 유럽에서 가장 예리한 추리가이자 가장 활동적인 탐정으로 묘사되었을 그 남자의 나른하고 느긋한 모습을 보며 다소 놀란 듯 힐끗 바라보았다.

Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.

홈즈는 천천히 눈을 다시 뜨고 거대한 체구의 의뢰인을 못마땅한 듯 바라보았다.

"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case," he remarked, "I should be better able to advise you."

"폐하께서 사안을 말씀해 주신다면," 그가 말했다, "더 잘 조언을 드릴 수 있을 것입니다."

The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation.

그 남자는 의자에서 벌떡 일어나 억누를 수 없는 흥분을 감추지 못한 채 방 안을 이리저리 서성였다.
