The Works of Edgar Allan Poe — Volume 2 — Page 5
His lynx eye immediately perceives the paper, recognises the handwriting of the address, observes the confusion of the personage addressed, and fathoms her secret.
그의 스라소니 같은 눈은 즉시 그 편지를 알아채고, 수신인의 필적을 알아보며, 수신인의 당혹감을 관찰하고, 그녀의 비밀을 꿰뚫어 봅니다.
After some business transactions, hurried through in his ordinary manner, he produces a letter somewhat similar to the one in question, opens it, pretends to read it, and then places it in close juxtaposition to the other.
몇 가지 사무적인 거래를 평소 방식대로 서둘러 처리한 후, 그는 문제의 편지와 다소 비슷한 편지를 꺼내어 그것을 펼치고, 읽는 척하다가, 그것을 다른 편지 바로 옆에 놓습니다.
Again he converses, for some fifteen minutes, upon the public affairs.
그는 다시 약 15분 동안 공공 문제에 대해 대화를 나눕니다.
At length, in taking leave, he takes also from the table the letter to which he had no claim.
마침내 작별을 고하면서, 그는 자신에게 아무런 권리도 없는 편지를 테이블에서 가져갑니다.
Its rightful owner saw, but, of course, dared not call attention to the act, in the presence of the third personage who stood at her elbow.
그 편지의 정당한 주인은 보았지만, 물론 그녀의 곁에 서 있던 세 번째 인물의 면전에서 그 행동에 주의를 환기시킬 엄두를 내지 못했습니다.
The minister decamped; leaving his own letter—one of no importance—upon the table."
장관은 서둘러 자리를 떴습니다. 자신의 편지—아무 중요성도 없는—를 테이블 위에 남겨두고서요."
"Here, then," said Dupin to me, "you have precisely what you demand to make the ascendancy complete—the robber's knowledge of the loser's knowledge of the robber."
"바로 여기에," 뒤팽이 나에게 말했습니다, "당신이 우위를 완성하기 위해 필요로 하는 것이 정확히 있습니다—강도가 피해자가 강도를 알고 있다는 사실을 알고 있다는 것이지요."
"Yes," replied the Prefect; "and the power thus attained has, for some months past, been wielded, for political purposes, to a very dangerous extent.
"그렇습니다," 경찰청장이 대답했습니다. "그리고 이렇게 얻은 권력은 지난 몇 달 동안 정치적 목적을 위해 매우 위험한 수준으로 행사되어 왔습니다.
The personage robbed is more thoroughly convinced, every day, of the necessity of reclaiming her letter.
편지를 도둑맞은 그 인물은 날이 갈수록 자신의 편지를 되찾아야 할 필요성을 더욱 절실히 확신하고 있습니다.
But this, of course, cannot be done openly.
하지만 이것은 물론 공개적으로 행해질 수 없습니다.
In fine, driven to despair, she has committed the matter to me."
결국 절망에 내몰려, 그녀는 이 문제를 저에게 맡겼습니다."
"Than whom," said Dupin, amid a perfect whirlwind of smoke, "no more sagacious agent could, I suppose, be desired, or even imagined.
"그보다 더," 뒤팽이 완벽한 연기 소용돌이 속에서 말했습니다, "더 현명한 대리인은 바랄 수도, 심지어 상상할 수도 없겠지요.
