The Hound of the Baskervilles — Page 2
"
"
I looked over his shoulder at the yellow paper and the faded script.
나는 그의 어깨 너머로 누런 종이와 바랜 글씨를 바라보았다.
At the head was written: "Baskerville Hall," and below in large, scrawling figures: "1742."
상단에는 "바스커빌 홀"이라고 적혀 있었고, 그 아래에는 크고 흘려 쓴 글씨로 "1742"라고 쓰여 있었다.
"It appears to be a statement of some sort."
"어떤 종류의 진술서처럼 보이는군요."
"Yes, it is a statement of a certain legend which runs in the Baskerville family."
"네, 이것은 바스커빌 가문에 전해 내려오는 어떤 전설에 관한 기록입니다."
"But I understand that it is something more modern and practical upon which you wish to consult me?"
"하지만 선생께서 저와 상의하고자 하시는 것은 보다 현대적이고 실질적인 문제라고 알고 있는데요?"
"Most modern. A most practical, pressing matter, which must be decided within twenty-four hours.
"아주 현대적인 문제입니다. 이십사 시간 안에 결정을 내려야 하는 매우 실질적이고 긴박한 사안이지요.
But the manuscript is short and is intimately connected with the affair.
하지만 이 문서는 짧고 그 사건과 밀접하게 연관되어 있습니다.
With your permission I will read it to you."
허락해 주신다면 읽어 드리겠습니다."
Holmes leaned back in his chair, placed his finger-tips together, and closed his eyes, with an air of resignation.
홈즈는 의자에 등을 기대고, 손가락 끝을 맞대고, 체념한 듯한 표정으로 눈을 감았다.
Dr. Mortimer turned the manuscript to the light and read in a high, cracking voice the following curious, old-world narrative:
모티머 박사는 문서를 빛 쪽으로 돌리고, 높고 갈라지는 목소리로 다음과 같은 기이하고 고풍스러운 이야기를 읽었다.
"Of the origin of the Hound of the Baskervilles there have been many statements, yet as I come in a direct line from Hugo Baskerville, and as I had the story from my father, who also had it from his, I have set it down with all belief that it occurred even as is here set forth.
"바스커빌가의 사냥개의 기원에 대해서는 여러 이야기들이 있어 왔으나, 나는 휴고 바스커빌의 직계 후손으로서, 또한 이 이야기를 아버지로부터 전해 받았고 아버지 역시 그의 아버지로부터 전해 받았기에, 여기에 기록된 그대로 실제로 일어난 일이라는 굳은 믿음을 가지고 이를 기록하였다.
And I would have you believe, my sons, that the same Justice which punishes sin may also most graciously forgive it, and that no ban is so heavy but that by prayer and repentance it may be removed.
그리고 내 아들들이여, 죄를 벌하는 그 정의가 또한 가장 자비롭게 죄를 용서할 수도 있으며, 기도와 회개를 통해 풀리지 않을 만큼 무거운 저주는 없다는 것을 믿어 주기 바란다.
