The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 8

English → Korean Full Text Level 7/10

I took the liberty of pointing out to my gentleman that the whole business looked apocryphal, and that a man does not, in real life, walk into a cellar door at four in the morning and come out with another man's cheque for close upon a hundred pounds.

저는 그 신사분께 이 모든 일이 믿기 어려워 보인다고, 그리고 실제 생활에서 사람이 새벽 네 시에 지하실 문으로 들어가서 다른 사람의 백 파운드짜리 수표를 들고 나오지는 않는다고 감히 말씀드렸습니다.

But he was quite easy and sneering.

하지만 그는 아주 태연하고 비웃는 듯한 태도였습니다.

'Set your mind at rest,' says he, 'I will stay with you till the banks open and cash the cheque myself.'

'안심하십시오,' 그가 말했습니다, '은행이 열릴 때까지 함께 있다가 제가 직접 수표를 현금으로 바꾸겠습니다.'

So we all set off, the doctor, and the child's father, and our friend and myself, and passed the rest of the night in my chambers; and next day, when we had breakfasted, went in a body to the bank.

그리하여 우리 모두, 즉 의사와 아이의 아버지, 그 친구와 저는 함께 출발하여 나머지 밤을 제 방에서 보냈습니다. 그리고 다음 날 아침식사를 마친 후 일행 모두가 함께 은행으로 갔습니다.

I gave in the cheque myself, and said I had every reason to believe it was a forgery.

제가 직접 수표를 제출하면서 그것이 위조라고 믿을 만한 충분한 이유가 있다고 말했습니다.

Not a bit of it.

그런데 전혀 그렇지 않았습니다.

The cheque was genuine."

수표는 진짜였습니다."

"Tut-tut!" said Mr. Utterson.

"쯧쯧!" 어터슨 씨가 말했습니다.

"I see you feel as I do," said Mr. Enfield.

"당신도 저와 같은 생각이시군요," 엔필드 씨가 말했습니다.

"Yes, it's a bad story.

"그렇습니다, 정말 좋지 않은 이야기입니다.

For my man was a fellow that nobody could have to do with, a really damnable man; and the person that drew the cheque is the very pink of the proprieties, celebrated too, and (what makes it worse) one of your fellows who do what they call good.

왜냐하면 그 사내는 아무도 상대하고 싶지 않을 자, 정말이지 저주스러운 인간이었고, 수표를 발행한 사람은 예의범절의 화신이며, 유명하기까지 하고, (더욱 나쁜 것은) 소위 선행을 한다는 당신네 무리 중 하나이기 때문입니다.

Blackmail, I suppose; an honest man paying through the nose for some of the capers of his youth.

협박이겠지요, 아마도. 한 정직한 사람이 젊은 시절의 몇 가지 못된 짓 때문에 엄청난 대가를 치르고 있는 것입니다.

Black Mail House is what I call the place with the door, in consequence.

그래서 저는 그 문이 있는 곳을 '협박의 집'이라고 부릅니다.
