The Scarlet Letter — Page 9
Another figure in the scene is the outward-bound sailor in quest of a protection; or the recently arrived one, pale and feeble, seeking a passport to the hospital.
장면 속의 또 다른 인물은 신분증명서를 구하러 다니는 출항 예정의 선원이거나, 아니면 창백하고 허약한 몸으로 병원 입원 허가증을 구하러 온 방금 도착한 선원이다.
Nor must we forget the captains of the rusty little schooners that bring firewood from the British provinces; a rough-looking set of tarpaulins, without the alertness of the Yankee aspect, but contributing an item of no slight importance to our decaying trade.
영국령 식민지에서 땔감을 실어 오는 낡고 작은 스쿠너선의 선장들도 잊어서는 안 된다. 그들은 거칠어 보이는 방수포 차림의 무리로, 양키 특유의 민첩함은 없지만 쇠퇴해 가는 우리 교역에 결코 가볍지 않은 몫을 보태고 있다.
Cluster all these individuals together, as they sometimes were, with other miscellaneous ones to diversify the group, and, for the time being, it made the Custom-House a stirring scene.
이 모든 인물들을 때로 그러했듯이 다른 잡다한 사람들과 한데 모아 무리를 다채롭게 하면, 당분간은 세관이 활기찬 풍경을 이루었다.
More frequently, however, on ascending the steps, you would discern—in the entry, if it were summer time, or in their appropriate rooms, if wintry or inclement weather—a row of venerable figures, sitting in old-fashioned chairs, which were tipped on their hind legs back against the wall.
그러나 계단을 올라가면 더 자주, 여름이라면 현관에서, 겨울이거나 날씨가 험하다면 각자의 방에서, 뒷다리를 벽에 기댄 채 젖혀진 구식 의자에 앉아 있는 근엄한 노인들의 줄지어 앉은 모습을 발견하곤 했다.
Oftentimes they were asleep, but occasionally might be heard talking together, in voices between speech and a snore, and with that lack of energy that distinguishes the occupants of almshouses, and all other human beings who depend for subsistence on charity, on monopolized labor, or anything else, but their own independent exertions.
그들은 대개 잠들어 있었지만, 가끔은 말소리와 코고는 소리의 중간쯤 되는 목소리로 서로 이야기하는 것이 들리기도 했다. 그 기력 없는 모습은 구빈원 거주자들이나, 자선이든 독점 노동이든 그 무엇이든 간에 자신의 자립적인 노력이 아닌 것에 생계를 의존하는 모든 인간들의 특징이었다.
These old gentlemen—seated, like Matthew, at the receipt of customs, but not very liable to be summoned thence, like him, for apostolic errands—were Custom-House officers.
이 노신사들은, 마태처럼 세관에 앉아 있었지만 그처럼 사도적 사명을 위해 그 자리에서 불려갈 가능성은 거의 없었으니, 바로 세관 직원들이었다.
