The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 3

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 5/10

I'm a laying up sin and suffering for us both, I know.

나는 우리 둘 모두를 위해 죄와 고통을 쌓아가고 있다는 걸 알아.

He's full of the Old Scratch, but laws-a-me! he's my own dead sister's boy, poor thing, and I ain't got the heart to lash him, somehow.

그 아이는 악마로 가득 차 있지만, 세상에! 그 아이는 내 죽은 언니의 아들이고, 불쌍한 것, 나는 어쩐지 그 아이를 매질할 마음이 생기지 않아.

Every time I let him off, my conscience does hurt me so, and every time I hit him my old heart most breaks.

그 아이를 봐줄 때마다 양심이 너무나 아프고, 그 아이를 때릴 때마다 내 늙은 가슴은 거의 찢어질 것 같아.

Well-a-well, man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble, as the Scripture says, and I reckon it's so.

어이구, 성경 말씀대로 여자에게서 태어난 사람은 날이 짧고 고난으로 가득 차 있으니, 그게 맞는 말인 것 같아.

He'll play hookey this evening,[*] and I'll just be obleeged to make him work, tomorrow, to punish him.

그 아이는 오늘 오후에 학교를 빼먹을 테고,[*] 나는 벌로 내일 그 아이를 일하게 할 수밖에 없을 거야.

It's mighty hard to make him work Saturdays, when all the boys is having holiday, but he hates work more than he hates anything else, and I've got to do some of my duty by him, or I'll be the ruination of the child.

다른 아이들이 모두 휴일을 보내고 있을 때 토요일에 그 아이를 일하게 만드는 건 정말 힘들지만, 그 아이는 무엇보다 일하는 걸 싫어하고, 나는 그 아이에 대한 의무를 다해야 하지, 안 그러면 그 아이를 망치게 될 거야.

[*] Southwestern for "afternoon"

[*] 미국 남서부 방언으로 "오후"를 의미함

Tom did play hookey, and he had a very good time.

톰은 정말로 학교를 빼먹었고, 아주 즐거운 시간을 보냈다.

He got back home barely in season to help Jim, the small colored boy, saw next-day's wood and split the kindlings before supper—at least he was there in time to tell his adventures to Jim while Jim did three-fourths of the work.

그는 저녁 식사 전에 작은 흑인 소년 짐이 다음 날 쓸 장작을 톱으로 자르고 불쏘시개를 쪼개는 것을 도울 수 있도록 겨우 제때에 집에 돌아왔다—적어도 짐이 일의 사분의 삼을 하는 동안 짐에게 자신의 모험담을 이야기할 시간에는 맞춰 돌아왔다.

Tom's younger brother (or rather half-brother) Sid was already through with his part of the work (picking up chips), for he was a quiet boy, and had no adventurous, trouble-some ways.

톰의 남동생(정확히는 이복동생) 시드는 이미 자기 몫의 일(나무 조각 줍기)을 끝마쳤는데, 그는 조용한 소년이었고 모험적이거나 말썽을 피우는 버릇이 없었기 때문이다.
