The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 4
While Tom was eating his supper, and stealing sugar as opportunity offered, Aunt Polly asked him questions that were full of guile, and very deep—for she wanted to trap him into damaging revealments.
톰이 저녁을 먹으면서 틈틈이 설탕을 훔쳐 먹는 동안, 폴리 아주머니는 그에게 교활하고 매우 심오한 질문들을 던졌다—그를 함정에 빠뜨려 불리한 자백을 끌어내고 싶었기 때문이다.
Like many other simple-hearted souls, it was her pet vanity to believe she was endowed with a talent for dark and mysterious diplomacy, and she loved to contemplate her most transparent devices as marvels of low cunning.
다른 많은 순박한 사람들처럼, 그녀는 자신이 어둡고 신비로운 술책에 재능을 타고났다고 믿는 것이 그녀만의 소중한 허영이었고, 가장 뻔한 자신의 계략을 교묘한 술수의 경이로움으로 여기며 흐뭇해하기를 좋아했다.
Said she:
그녀가 말했다:
"Tom, it was middling warm in school, warn't it?"
"톰, 학교에서 꽤 더웠지, 그렇지 않니?"
"Yes'm."
"네."
"Powerful warm, warn't it?"
"엄청 더웠지, 그렇지 않니?"
"Yes'm."
"네."
"Didn't you want to go in a-swimming, Tom?"
"수영하러 가고 싶지 않았니, 톰?"
A bit of a scare shot through Tom—a touch of uncomfortable suspicion.
톰은 약간 깜짝 놀랐다—불편한 의심이 스쳐 지나갔다.
He searched Aunt Polly's face, but it told him nothing.
그는 폴리 아주머니의 얼굴을 살폈지만, 아무것도 알 수 없었다.
So he said:
그래서 그는 말했다:
"No'm—well, not very much."
"아니요—뭐, 그다지 많이는요."
The old lady reached out her hand and felt Tom's shirt, and said:
노부인은 손을 뻗어 톰의 셔츠를 만져보고는 말했다:
"But you ain't too warm now, though."
"그런데 지금은 그다지 덥지 않구나."
And it flattered her to reflect that she had discovered that the shirt was dry without anybody knowing that that was what she had in her mind.
그리고 자신이 무슨 생각을 하는지 아무도 모르는 채로 셔츠가 말라 있다는 것을 알아냈다는 사실이 그녀를 흐뭇하게 했다.
But in spite of her, Tom knew where the wind lay, now.
하지만 그녀의 의도에도 불구하고, 톰은 이제 바람이 어느 쪽에서 부는지 알아챘다.
So he forestalled what might be the next move:
그래서 그는 다음 수를 미리 차단했다:
"Some of us pumped on our heads—mine's damp yet. See?"
"우리 몇몇은 머리에 펌프질을 했거든요—제 머리는 아직 젖어 있어요. 보세요?"
Aunt Polly was vexed to think she had overlooked that bit of circumstantial evidence, and missed a trick.
폴리 아주머니는 그 정황 증거를 놓쳐서 한 수를 빼앗겼다는 생각에 짜증이 났다.
