English → Korean THE REPAIRER OF REPUTATIONS I Level 7/10

Since the passage of this law, the number of suicides in the United States has not increased.

이 법이 통과된 이후로, 미국 내 자살자 수는 증가하지 않았습니다.

Now the Government has determined to establish a Lethal Chamber in every city, town and village in the country, it remains to be seen whether or not that class of human creatures from whose desponding ranks new victims of self-destruction fall daily will accept the relief thus provided.

이제 정부는 전국의 모든 도시, 마을, 촌락에 안락사 챔버를 설치하기로 결정하였으며, 날마다 새로운 자해의 희생자들이 떨어져 나오는 그 절망적인 부류의 인간들이 이렇게 마련된 구제책을 받아들일지 여부는 두고 볼 일입니다.

He paused, and turned to the white Lethal Chamber.

그는 잠시 멈추고 하얀 안락사 챔버 쪽으로 몸을 돌렸다.

The silence in the street was absolute.

거리는 완전한 침묵에 잠겨 있었다.

"There a painless death awaits him who can no longer bear the sorrows of this life.

"저곳에는 더 이상 이 삶의 슬픔을 견딜 수 없는 자를 위한 고통 없는 죽음이 기다리고 있습니다.

If death is welcome let him seek it there."

죽음을 원한다면 그곳에서 찾으십시오."

Then quickly turning to the military aid of the President's household, he said, "I declare the Lethal Chamber open," and again facing the vast crowd he cried in a clear voice: "Citizens of New York and of the United States of America, through me the Government declares the Lethal Chamber to be open."

그런 다음 대통령 관저의 군사 보좌관에게 재빨리 몸을 돌리며 그는 말했다, "나는 안락사 챔버의 개방을 선언합니다," 그리고 다시 광대한 군중을 향해 그는 또렷한 목소리로 외쳤다: "뉴욕 시민 여러분, 그리고 미합중국 시민 여러분, 저를 통해 정부는 안락사 챔버의 개방을 선언합니다."

The solemn hush was broken by a sharp cry of command, the squadron of hussars filed after the Governor's carriage, the lancers wheeled and formed along Fifth Avenue to wait for the commandant of the garrison, and the mounted police followed them.

엄숙한 정적은 날카로운 명령 소리에 의해 깨졌고, 경기병 중대는 주지사의 마차 뒤를 따라 줄지어 나아갔으며, 창기병들은 방향을 틀어 수비대 사령관을 기다리기 위해 5번가를 따라 대열을 이루었고, 기마 경찰이 그들의 뒤를 따랐다.

I left the crowd to gape and stare at the white marble Death Chamber, and, crossing South Fifth Avenue, walked along the western side of that thoroughfare to Bleecker Street.

나는 군중을 뒤로하고 그들이 하얀 대리석 죽음의 방을 입을 벌리고 바라보도록 남겨둔 채, 사우스 5번가를 건너 그 큰 길의 서쪽 편을 따라 블리커 스트리트까지 걸어갔다.
