We walked through a high hallway into a bright rosy-coloured space, fragilely bound into the house by French windows at either end.

우리는 높은 복도를 지나 밝고 장밋빛으로 물든 공간으로 들어섰는데, 그 공간은 양쪽 끝에 달린 프랑스식 창문으로 집과 가냘프게 이어져 있었다.

The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house.

창문들은 살짝 열려 있었고, 집 안으로 조금씩 자라 들어오는 듯한 바깥의 싱그러운 풀밭을 배경으로 하얗게 빛나고 있었다.

A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-coloured rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.

산들바람이 방 안을 가로질러 불어와, 한쪽 끝에서는 커튼을 안으로 불어 넣고 다른 쪽 끝에서는 밖으로 불어 내보내며 마치 창백한 깃발처럼 펄럭이게 했고, 커튼을 서리 낀 웨딩케이크 같은 천장 쪽으로 비틀어 올렸다가, 이윽고 포도주 빛 양탄자 위를 물결치듯 스쳐 지나가며 마치 바람이 바다 위에 만들어 내듯 그 위에 그림자를 드리웠다.

The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon.

방 안에서 완전히 움직이지 않는 유일한 물건은 거대한 소파였는데, 두 젊은 여자가 마치 닻을 내린 풍선 위에 떠 있는 것처럼 그 위에 올라앉아 있었다.

They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house.

두 사람 모두 흰옷을 입고 있었으며, 그들의 드레스는 마치 집 주위를 잠깐 날아다니다가 막 불려 들어온 것처럼 물결치며 펄럭이고 있었다.

I must have stood for a few moments listening to the whip and snap of the curtains and the groan of a picture on the wall.

나는 커튼이 휙휙 나부끼며 탁탁 부딪히는 소리와 벽에 걸린 그림이 삐걱거리는 소리에 귀를 기울이며 잠시 서 있었던 것 같다.

Then there was a boom as Tom Buchanan shut the rear windows and the caught wind died out about the room, and the curtains and the rugs and the two young women ballooned slowly to the floor.

그때 톰 뷰캐넌이 뒤쪽 창문을 쾅 닫는 소리가 났고, 방 안에 갇혀 있던 바람이 사그라지면서 커튼과 양탄자와 두 젊은 여자가 천천히 바닥으로 내려앉았다.

The younger of the two was a stranger to me.

둘 중 더 젊은 여자는 나에게 낯선 사람이었다.
