The King in Yellow — Page 2
But I knew in my heart that all would come right, and that I should arrange their future as I expected to arrange that of my kind doctor, John Archer.
하지만 나는 마음속으로 모든 것이 잘 될 것이고, 내가 친절한 의사 존 아처의 미래를 마련해 주려 했던 것처럼 그들의 미래도 마련해 줄 수 있을 것이라는 것을 알고 있었다.
However, I should never have troubled myself about visiting them just then, had it not been, as I say, that the music of the tinkling hammer had for me this strong fascination.
그러나 내가 말했듯이, 딸랑거리는 망치 소리의 음악이 나에게 강한 매혹을 지니고 있지 않았다면, 나는 그때 그들을 방문하는 것에 대해 결코 신경 쓰지 않았을 것이다.
I would sit for hours, listening and listening, and when a stray sunbeam struck the inlaid steel, the sensation it gave me was almost too keen to endure.
나는 몇 시간이고 앉아서 듣고 또 들었으며, 길 잃은 햇살이 상감된 강철에 닿을 때면, 그것이 내게 주는 감각은 거의 견디기 어려울 만큼 예리했다.
My eyes would become fixed, dilating with a pleasure that stretched every nerve almost to breaking, until some movement of the old armourer cut off the ray of sunlight, then, still thrilling secretly, I leaned back and listened again to the sound of the polishing rag, swish! swish! rubbing rust from the rivets.
나의 눈은 고정되어 모든 신경을 거의 끊어질 듯이 팽팽하게 당기는 쾌감으로 확장되었고, 그러다가 늙은 갑옷장이의 어떤 움직임이 햇살을 차단하면, 나는 여전히 은밀하게 전율하면서 뒤로 기대어 광택 천이 리벳의 녹을 문지르는 소리, 쉬익! 쉬익! 하는 소리에 다시 귀를 기울였다.
Constance worked with the embroidery over her knees, now and then pausing to examine more closely the pattern in the coloured plate from the Metropolitan Museum.
콘스탄스는 무릎 위에 자수를 올려놓고 작업하면서, 이따금 멈추어 메트로폴리탄 박물관에서 가져온 채색 도판의 문양을 더 자세히 살펴보았다.
"Who is this for?" I asked.
"이것은 누구를 위한 것입니까?" 나는 물었다.
Hawberk explained, that in addition to the treasures of armour in the Metropolitan Museum of which he had been appointed armourer, he also had charge of several collections belonging to rich amateurs.
호버크는 자신이 갑옷장이로 임명된 메트로폴리탄 박물관의 갑옷 보물들 외에도, 부유한 수집가들에 속하는 여러 컬렉션도 담당하고 있다고 설명했다.
This was the missing greave of a famous suit which a client of his had traced to a little shop in Paris on the Quai d'Orsay.
이것은 그의 고객이 파리의 케 도르세에 있는 작은 가게까지 추적해 낸 유명한 갑옷 한 벌의 잃어버린 정강이받이였다.
He, Hawberk, had negotiated for and secured the greave, and now the suit was complete.
그, 호버크가 정강이받이를 협상하여 확보하였고, 이제 그 갑옷 한 벌은 완성되었다.
