Nil sapientiæ odiosius acumine nimio.—_Seneca_.
지나친 예리함만큼 지혜에 해로운 것은 없다.—_세네카_.
At Paris, just after dark one gusty evening in the autumn of 18-, I was enjoying the twofold luxury of meditation and a meerschaum, in company with my friend C. Auguste Dupin, in his little back library, or book-closet, _au troisième_, No. 33, _Rue Dunôt, Faubourg St. Germain_.
18xx년 가을의 어느 바람 부는 저녁, 어둠이 막 깔릴 무렵, 나는 파리에서 친구 C. 오귀스트 뒤팽과 함께 그의 작은 뒷방 서재, 즉 책장 방인 _3층_, 33번지, _뒤노 가, 포부르 생제르맹_에서 명상과 메어샴 파이프라는 두 가지 사치를 즐기고 있었다.
For one hour at least we had maintained a profound silence; while each, to any casual observer, might have seemed intently and exclusively occupied with the curling eddies of smoke that oppressed the atmosphere of the chamber.
적어도 한 시간 동안 우리는 깊은 침묵을 유지하고 있었으며, 그 동안 우리 각자는 우연히 지나치는 관찰자의 눈에는 방 안의 공기를 가득 채운 담배 연기의 소용돌이에만 오로지 골몰해 있는 것처럼 보였을 것이다.
For myself, however, I was mentally discussing certain topics which had formed matter for conversation between us at an earlier period of the evening; I mean the affair of the Rue Morgue, and the mystery attending the murder of Marie Rogêt.
그러나 나 자신은 그날 저녁 좀 더 이른 시간에 우리 사이에 대화의 소재가 되었던 몇 가지 주제를 마음속으로 되새기고 있었다. 다시 말해 모르그 가의 사건과 마리 로제 살인 사건을 둘러싼 미스터리였다.
I looked upon it, therefore, as something of a coincidence, when the door of our apartment was thrown open and admitted our old acquaintance, Monsieur G——, the Prefect of the Parisian police.
그러므로 나는 우리 방문이 벌컥 열리며 오랜 지인인 파리 경찰청장 G—— 씨가 들어섰을 때, 그것을 일종의 우연의 일치로 여겼다.
We gave him a hearty welcome; for there was nearly half as much of the entertaining as of the contemptible about the man, and we had not seen him for several years.
우리는 그를 진심으로 환영했다. 그 사람에게는 경멸스러운 면만큼이나 거의 절반 정도는 흥미로운 면이 있었고, 우리는 몇 년 동안 그를 만나지 못했기 때문이다.
We had been sitting in the dark, and Dupin now arose for the purpose of lighting a lamp, but sat down again, without doing so, upon G.
우리는 어둠 속에 앉아 있었고, 뒤팽이 램프에 불을 켜려고 자리에서 일어났지만, G 씨의 말을 듣고는 그러지 않은 채 다시 자리에 앉았다.
