The Picture of Dorian Gray — Page 8

English → Korean CHAPTER I. Level 7/10

The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."

제가 이 그림을 전시하지 않으려는 이유는 그 안에 제 영혼의 비밀을 드러낸 것 같아 두렵기 때문입니다."

Lord Henry laughed. "And what is that?" he asked.

헨리 경이 웃었다. "그게 무엇인가요?" 그가 물었다.

"I will tell you," said Hallward; but an expression of perplexity came over his face.

"말씀드리죠," 홀워드가 말했다. 하지만 그의 얼굴에는 당혹스러운 표정이 떠올랐다.

"I am all expectation, Basil," continued his companion, glancing at him.

"기대가 됩니다, 바질," 그의 동반자가 그를 힐끗 보며 말을 이었다.

"Oh, there is really very little to tell, Harry," answered the painter; "and I am afraid you will hardly understand it. Perhaps you will hardly believe it."

"오, 사실 별로 할 말이 없어요, 해리," 화가가 대답했다. "당신이 거의 이해하지 못할 것 같아 걱정됩니다. 아마도 믿기도 어려울 거예요."

Lord Henry smiled, and leaning down, plucked a pink-petalled daisy from the grass and examined it.

헨리 경은 미소를 지으며 몸을 숙여 잔디밭에서 분홍빛 꽃잎의 데이지 한 송이를 꺾어 살펴보았다.

"I am quite sure I shall understand it," he replied, gazing intently at the little golden, white-feathered disk, "and as for believing things, I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible."

"저는 분명히 이해할 수 있을 겁니다," 그가 작고 황금빛의 흰 털이 달린 꽃반침을 유심히 바라보며 대답했다. "그리고 무언가를 믿는 것에 관해서라면, 저는 무엇이든 믿을 수 있습니다. 그것이 완전히 믿기 어려운 것이라면요."

The wind shook some blossoms from the trees, and the heavy lilac-blooms, with their clustering stars, moved to and fro in the languid air.

바람이 나무에서 꽃잎 몇 개를 흔들어 떨어뜨렸고, 무거운 라일락 꽃들이 무리 지은 별처럼 나른한 공기 속에서 이리저리 흔들렸다.

A grasshopper began to chirrup by the wall, and like a blue thread a long thin dragon-fly floated past on its brown gauze wings.

벽 옆에서 메뚜기 한 마리가 울기 시작했고, 가늘고 긴 잠자리 한 마리가 갈색의 얇은 날개를 펼치고 파란 실처럼 날아 지나갔다.

Lord Henry felt as if he could hear Basil Hallward's heart beating, and wondered what was coming.

헨리 경은 바질 홀워드의 심장 소리가 들리는 것 같았고, 무슨 이야기가 나올지 궁금했다.

"The story is simply this," said the painter after some time. "Two months ago I went to a crush at Lady Brandon's.

"이야기는 간단합니다," 화가가 잠시 후 말했다. "두 달 전, 저는 브랜든 부인의 파티에 갔습니다.
