English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 5/10

"

"

"Nothing! Look at your hands. And look at your mouth. What _is_ that truck?"

"아무것도 아니라고! 네 손을 봐. 그리고 네 입을 봐. 그게 _대체_ 뭐야?"

"I don't know, aunt."

"모르겠어요, 이모."

"Well, I know. It's jam—that's what it is. Forty times I've said if you didn't let that jam alone I'd skin you. Hand me that switch."

"그래, 나는 알아. 잼이잖아—바로 그거야. 내가 그 잼을 내버려 두지 않으면 혼내주겠다고 마흔 번도 더 말했잖아. 그 회초리 이리 줘."

The switch hovered in the air—the peril was desperate—

회초리가 공중에서 멈칫거렸다—위기는 절박했다—

"My! Look behind you, aunt!"

"이런! 이모, 뒤를 보세요!"

The old lady whirled round, and snatched her skirts out of danger.

노부인은 뒤를 홱 돌아보며 치마를 위험에서 낚아챘다.

The lad fled on the instant, scrambled up the high board-fence, and disappeared over it.

소년은 순식간에 달아나서 높은 판자 울타리를 기어올라 그 너머로 사라졌다.

His aunt Polly stood surprised a moment, and then broke into a gentle laugh.

폴리 이모는 잠시 놀란 표정으로 서 있다가 이내 부드러운 웃음을 터뜨렸다.

"Hang the boy, can't I never learn anything? Ain't he played me tricks enough like that for me to be looking out for him by this time? But old fools is the biggest fools there is. Can't learn an old dog new tricks, as the saying is. But my goodness, he never plays them alike, two days, and how is a body to know what's coming? He 'pears to know just how long he can torment me before I get my dander up, and he knows if he can make out to put me off for a minute or make me laugh, it's all down again and I can't hit him a lick. I ain't doing my duty by that boy, and that's the Lord's truth, goodness knows. Spare the rod and spile the child, as the Good Book says.

"이런 녀석, 나는 정말 아무것도 못 배우는 건가? 이쯤 되면 저 녀석 장난을 충분히 겪어서 미리 조심해야 하는 거 아닌가? 하지만 늙은 바보가 제일 큰 바보라니까. 옛말에도 있듯이, 늙은 개에게 새 재주를 가르칠 수는 없는 법이지. 그런데 세상에, 저 녀석은 이틀 연속 같은 장난을 치는 법이 없으니, 무슨 일이 생길지 어떻게 알겠어? 저 녀석은 내가 화가 나기 전까지 얼마나 오래 나를 괴롭힐 수 있는지 딱 알고 있는 것 같고, 잠깐이라도 나를 딴 데 정신 팔게 하거나 웃게 만들면 화가 다 풀려서 한 대도 못 때린다는 것도 알고 있어. 나는 저 아이에게 해야 할 도리를 다하지 못하고 있어, 정말이야. 성경 말씀에도 있듯이, 매를 아끼면 자식을 망친다고."
