The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 2
" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of downgoing men.
" 이러한 성격 덕분에, 그는 종종 몰락해 가는 사람들의 삶에서 마지막으로 남은 점잖은 지인이자 마지막으로 남은 선한 영향력이 되는 행운을 누렸다.
And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
그리고 그런 사람들이 그의 방을 찾아오는 한, 그는 자신의 태도에서 추호의 변화도 내비친 적이 없었다.
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature.
틀림없이 그 일은 어터슨 씨에게 어렵지 않았을 것이다. 왜냐하면 그는 무엇보다 감정을 드러내지 않는 사람이었고, 심지어 그의 우정조차도 비슷한 종류의 너그러운 포용력에 바탕을 둔 것처럼 보였기 때문이다.
It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way.
기회가 손수 만들어 준 교우 관계를 그대로 받아들이는 것이 겸손한 사람의 특징이다. 그리고 그것이 바로 그 변호사의 방식이었다.
His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object.
그의 친구들은 피를 나눈 사람들이거나 가장 오래 알고 지낸 사람들이었다. 그의 애정은 담쟁이덩굴처럼 시간이 흐르면서 자라난 것이었으며, 상대방의 특별한 자질을 전제로 하지 않았다.
Hence, no doubt the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town.
따라서, 그를 먼 친척인 리처드 엔필드 씨, 즉 사교계에서 잘 알려진 인물과 이어준 것도 바로 그러한 유대감이었을 것이다.
It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common.
이 두 사람이 서로에게서 무엇을 볼 수 있는지, 또는 어떤 공통적인 주제를 찾을 수 있는지는 많은 이들에게 풀기 어려운 수수께끼였다.
It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend.
일요일 산책 중 그들을 마주친 사람들의 말에 따르면, 두 사람은 아무 말도 하지 않고 유달리 무표정한 얼굴로 걸었으며, 아는 사람이 나타나면 뚜렷한 안도감을 드러내며 반기곤 했다고 한다.
