The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 6

He was not the Model Boy of the village.
그는 마을의 모범 소년이 아니었다.
He knew the model boy very well though—and loathed him.
하지만 그는 모범 소년을 매우 잘 알고 있었다—그리고 그를 몹시 싫어했다.
Within two minutes, or even less, he had forgotten all his troubles.
2분도 채 안 되어, 아니 그보다 더 짧은 시간에, 그는 자신의 모든 걱정을 잊어버렸다.
Not because his troubles were one whit less heavy and bitter to him than a man's are to a man, but because a new and powerful interest bore them down and drove them out of his mind for the time—just as men's misfortunes are forgotten in the excitement of new enterprises.
그것은 그의 걱정이 어른의 걱정보다 조금이라도 덜 무겁거나 덜 쓰라렸기 때문이 아니라, 새롭고 강렬한 관심사가 그 걱정들을 짓누르고 잠시 동안 마음속에서 몰아냈기 때문이었다—마치 새로운 일에 대한 흥분 속에서 어른들의 불행이 잊히는 것처럼.
This new interest was a valued novelty in whistling, which he had just acquired from a negro, and he was suffering to practise it undisturbed.
이 새로운 관심사는 그가 흑인에게서 막 배운 휘파람의 귀중한 신기술이었으며, 그는 방해받지 않고 연습하고 싶어 안달이 나 있었다.
It consisted in a peculiar bird-like turn, a sort of liquid warble, produced by touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth at short intervals in the midst of the music—the reader probably remembers how to do it, if he has ever been a boy.
그것은 독특한 새 소리 같은 기교로, 음악 연주 중에 짧은 간격으로 혀를 입천장에 갖다 대어 만들어 내는 일종의 맑은 지저귐이었다—독자도 어린 시절을 보낸 적이 있다면 아마 그 방법을 기억할 것이다.
Diligence and attention soon gave him the knack of it, and he strode down the street with his mouth full of harmony and his soul full of gratitude.
열심히 집중한 덕분에 그는 곧 그 요령을 터득했고, 입 안 가득 선율을 담고 마음 가득 감사함을 품은 채 거리를 활보했다.
He felt much as an astronomer feels who has discovered a new planet—no doubt, as far as strong, deep, unalloyed pleasure is concerned, the advantage was with the boy, not the astronomer.
그는 새로운 행성을 발견한 천문학자가 느끼는 것과 비슷한 기분이었다—강렬하고 깊고 순수한 기쁨에 관한 한, 분명히 그 우위는 천문학자가 아닌 소년 쪽에 있었다.
The summer evenings were long.
여름 저녁은 길었다.
It was not dark, yet.
아직 어둡지 않았다.
Presently Tom checked his whistle.
이윽고 톰은 휘파람을 멈췄다.
A stranger was before him—a boy a shade larger than himself.
낯선 이가 그의 앞에 있었다—자신보다 조금 더 큰 소년이었다.
