The Great Gatsby — Page 6
It was on that slender riotous island which extends itself due east of New York—and where there are, among other natural curiosities, two unusual formations of land.
그것은 뉴욕의 정동쪽으로 뻗어 있는 그 가늘고 소란스러운 섬에 있었는데, 그곳에는 다른 자연적인 기이한 것들 중에서도 두 가지 특이한 지형이 있었다.
Twenty miles from the city a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay, jut out into the most domesticated body of salt water in the Western hemisphere, the great wet barnyard of Long Island Sound.
도시에서 20마일 떨어진 곳에, 윤곽이 동일하고 오직 의례적인 만으로만 분리된 한 쌍의 거대한 달걀 모양의 땅이, 서반구에서 가장 길들여진 염수 수역인, 롱아일랜드 사운드의 넓고 축축한 농장 마당으로 돌출해 있다.
They are not perfect ovals—like the egg in the Columbus story, they are both crushed flat at the contact end—but their physical resemblance must be a source of perpetual wonder to the gulls that fly overhead.
그것들은 완전한 타원형이 아니다—콜럼버스 이야기의 달걀처럼, 둘 다 접촉하는 끝부분이 납작하게 눌려 있다—하지만 그 물리적 유사성은 머리 위를 날아다니는 갈매기들에게 끊임없는 경이로움의 원천임에 틀림없다.
To the wingless a more interesting phenomenon is their dissimilarity in every particular except shape and size.
날개 없는 존재들에게 더 흥미로운 현상은 형태와 크기를 제외한 모든 면에서의 그것들의 상이함이다.
I lived at West Egg, the—well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them.
나는 웨스트 에그에 살았는데, 그것은—뭐, 둘 중 덜 세련된 곳이었지만, 이것은 그 둘 사이의 기묘하고 적잖이 불길한 대조를 표현하기에는 가장 피상적인 표현이다.
My house was at the very tip of the egg, only fifty yards from the Sound, and squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season.
내 집은 달걀의 바로 끝부분에 있었고, 사운드에서 불과 50야드 떨어져 있었으며, 한 시즌에 12,000달러에서 15,000달러에 임대되는 두 개의 거대한 저택 사이에 끼어 있었다.
The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard—it was a factual imitation of some Hôtel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden.
내 오른쪽에 있는 것은 어떤 기준으로 보아도 거대한 건물이었다—그것은 노르망디의 어느 시청을 충실히 모방한 것으로, 한쪽에는 탑이 있었고, 아직 다듬어지지 않은 얇은 담쟁이덩굴 아래 번쩍번쩍 새것이었으며, 대리석 수영장과 40에이커가 넘는 잔디밭과 정원이 있었다.
It was Gatsby's mansion.
그것은 개츠비의 저택이었다.
Or, rather, as I didn't know Mr.
아니, 오히려, 내가 개츠비 씨를 몰랐기 때문에—
