The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Page 12

English → Korean Full Text Level 7/10

It was his custom of a Sunday, when this meal was over, to sit close by the fire, a volume of some dry divinity on his reading desk, until the clock of the neighbouring church rang out the hour of twelve, when he would go soberly and gratefully to bed.

일요일마다 식사가 끝나면 난로 가까이 앉아 독서대 위에 딱딱한 신학 서적을 펼쳐 놓고, 인근 교회의 시계가 열두 시를 알릴 때까지 그 자리를 지키다가 차분하고 감사한 마음으로 잠자리에 드는 것이 그의 습관이었다.

On this night however, as soon as the cloth was taken away, he took up a candle and went into his business room.

그러나 이날 밤은 식탁보가 걷히자마자 촛불을 들고 서재로 들어갔다.

There he opened his safe, took from the most private part of it a document endorsed on the envelope as Dr. Jekyll's Will and sat down with a clouded brow to study its contents.

그는 금고를 열어 가장 깊숙한 곳에서 봉투에 '지킬 박사의 유언장'이라고 적힌 문서를 꺼내어 찌푸린 얼굴로 앉아 그 내용을 살펴보기 시작했다.

The will was holograph, for Mr. Utterson though he took charge of it now that it was made, had refused to lend the least assistance in the making of it; it provided not only that, in case of the decease of Henry Jekyll, M.D., D.C.L., L.L.D., F.R.S., etc., all his possessions were to pass into the hands of his "friend and benefactor Edward Hyde," but that in case of Dr. Jekyll's "disappearance or unexplained absence for any period exceeding three calendar months," the said Edward Hyde should step into the said Henry Jekyll's shoes without further delay and free from any burthen or obligation beyond the payment of a few small sums to the members of the doctor's household.

유언장은 자필로 작성된 것이었는데, 어터슨 씨는 작성이 끝난 지금에야 그것을 맡아 두고 있었지만 작성 과정에서는 어떠한 도움도 거절했던 터였다. 유언장의 내용은, 의학박사·민법학박사·법학박사·왕립학회 회원 등의 칭호를 가진 헨리 지킬이 사망할 경우 그의 모든 재산이 '친구이자 후원자인 에드워드 하이드'의 손에 넘어간다는 것뿐만 아니라, 지킬 박사가 '삼 개월을 초과하는 기간 동안 실종되거나 설명 없이 부재할 경우' 해당 에드워드 하이드가 추가적인 지체 없이, 그리고 의사 가솔들에 대한 소액의 지불을 제외한 어떠한 부담이나 의무도 없이 헨리 지킬의 자리를 이어받는다는 것이었다.

This document had long been the lawyer's eyesore.

이 문서는 오랫동안 변호사의 눈엣가시였다.
