The Picture of Dorian Gray — Page 11
It was reckless of me, but I asked Lady Brandon to introduce me to him.
무모한 짓이었지만, 나는 레이디 브랜던에게 그를 나에게 소개해 달라고 부탁했습니다.
Perhaps it was not so reckless, after all.
어쩌면 그렇게 무모한 일도 아니었을지 모릅니다.
It was simply inevitable.
그것은 단순히 피할 수 없는 일이었습니다.
We would have spoken to each other without any introduction.
우리는 아무런 소개 없이도 서로 대화를 나눴을 것입니다.
I am sure of that.
나는 그것을 확신합니다.
Dorian told me so afterwards.
도리언이 나중에 그렇게 말해 주었습니다.
He, too, felt that we were destined to know each other."
그 역시 우리가 서로 알게 될 운명이라고 느꼈습니다."
"And how did Lady Brandon describe this wonderful young man?" asked his companion.
"그런데 레이디 브랜던은 이 멋진 청년을 어떻게 묘사했나요?" 그의 동반자가 물었습니다.
"I know she goes in for giving a rapid _précis_ of all her guests.
"그녀가 손님들 모두에 대해 빠른 요약을 늘어놓는 것을 좋아한다는 걸 압니다.
I remember her bringing me up to a truculent and red-faced old gentleman covered all over with orders and ribbons, and hissing into my ear, in a tragic whisper which must have been perfectly audible to everybody in the room, the most astounding details.
그녀가 나를 훈장과 리본으로 온몸을 치장한 거칠고 얼굴이 붉은 노신사에게 데려가서는, 방 안의 모든 사람에게 완벽히 들렸을 비극적인 속삭임으로 내 귀에 가장 놀라운 세부 사항들을 속삭이던 것이 기억납니다.
I simply fled.
나는 그냥 도망쳐 버렸습니다.
I like to find out people for myself.
나는 사람들을 스스로 알아가는 것을 좋아합니다.
But Lady Brandon treats her guests exactly as an auctioneer treats his goods.
하지만 레이디 브랜던은 경매인이 물건을 다루듯 손님들을 대합니다.
She either explains them entirely away, or tells one everything about them except what one wants to know."
그녀는 손님들을 완전히 설명해 버리거나, 알고 싶은 것만 빼고 모든 것을 말해 줍니다."
"Poor Lady Brandon! You are hard on her, Harry!" said Hallward listlessly.
"가엾은 레이디 브랜던! 해리, 당신은 그녀에게 너무 가혹하군요!" 홀워드가 무기력하게 말했습니다.
"My dear fellow, she tried to found a _salon_, and only succeeded in opening a restaurant.
"이보게, 그녀는 살롱을 열려고 했지만 식당을 여는 데만 성공했을 뿐입니다.
How could I admire her?
내가 어떻게 그녀를 존경할 수 있겠습니까?
But tell me, what did she say about Mr. Dorian Gray?"
하지만 말해 보세요, 그녀가 도리언 그레이 씨에 대해 뭐라고 했나요?"
"Oh, something like, 'Charming boy—poor dear mother and I absolutely inseparable.
"오, 뭐랄까, '매력적인 소년—불쌍한 어머니와 나는 절대 떼려야 뗄 수 없는 사이였지요.
Quite forget what he does—afraid he—doesn't do anything—oh, yes, plays the piano—or is it the violin, dear Mr. Gray?
그가 무엇을 하는지 영 기억이 안 나네요—아마 그는—아무것도 안 하는 것 같아요—아, 맞아요, 피아노를 치죠—아니면 바이올린인가요, 친애하는 그레이 씨?
