The Great Gatsby — Page 11

English → Korean Full Text Level 7/10

She was extended full length at her end of the divan, completely motionless, and with her chin raised a little, as if she were balancing something on it which was quite likely to fall.

그녀는 소파의 자기 쪽 끝에 온몸을 길게 뻗은 채 완전히 움직이지 않고 누워 있었으며, 턱을 약간 들어 올린 자세였는데, 마치 떨어질 것 같은 무언가를 턱 위에 올려놓고 균형을 잡고 있는 것처럼 보였다.

If she saw me out of the corner of her eyes she gave no hint of it—indeed, I was almost surprised into murmuring an apology for having disturbed her by coming in.

그녀가 눈 꼬리로 나를 보았다 해도 그런 기색을 전혀 내비치지 않았다—사실, 나는 들어옴으로써 그녀를 방해한 것에 대해 저도 모르게 사과의 말을 중얼거릴 뻔했다.

The other girl, Daisy, made an attempt to rise—she leaned slightly forward with a conscientious expression—then she laughed, an absurd, charming little laugh, and I laughed too and came forward into the room.

다른 소녀인 데이지는 일어나려는 시도를 했다—성실한 표정으로 약간 앞으로 몸을 기울였다—그러다가 웃음을 터뜨렸는데, 터무니없고도 매력적인 작은 웃음이었고, 나도 따라 웃으며 방 안으로 들어섰다.

She laughed again, as if she said something very witty, and held my hand for a moment, looking up into my face, promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see.

그녀는 마치 아주 재치 있는 말을 한 것처럼 다시 웃으며, 잠시 내 손을 잡고 내 얼굴을 올려다보면서, 세상에서 이렇게 보고 싶었던 사람은 없었다는 듯이 굴었다.

That was a way she had.

그것이 그녀만의 방식이었다.

She hinted in a murmur that the surname of the balancing girl was Baker.

그녀는 중얼거리듯 균형을 잡고 있던 소녀의 성이 베이커라고 귀띔해 주었다.

(I've heard it said that Daisy's murmur was only to make people lean toward her; an irrelevant criticism that made it no less charming.)

(데이지의 중얼거림은 사람들이 그녀 쪽으로 몸을 기울이게 만들려는 것뿐이라는 말을 들은 적이 있다; 그렇다고 해서 그 매력이 줄어드는 것은 아닌, 쓸데없는 비판이었다.)

At any rate, Miss Baker's lips fluttered, she nodded at me almost imperceptibly, and then quickly tipped her head back again—the object she was balancing had obviously tottered a little and given her something of a fright.

어쨌든, 베이커 양의 입술이 살짝 움직였고, 그녀는 거의 알아차리기 힘들 정도로 나에게 고개를 끄덕였다가, 이내 재빨리 고개를 다시 뒤로 젖혔다—그녀가 균형을 잡고 있던 물체가 분명히 조금 흔들려 약간 놀라게 한 모양이었다.

Again a sort of apology arose to my lips.

다시금 일종의 사과의 말이 내 입에서 나오려 했다.

Almost any exhibition of complete self-sufficiency draws a stunned tribute from me.

완전한 자기충족의 모습을 보이는 것이면 무엇이든 나로부터 경탄 어린 경의를 이끌어낸다.
