The Works of Edgar Allan Poe — Volume 2 — Page 7
So I did not abandon the search until I had become fully satisfied that the thief is a more astute man than myself.
그래서 저는 그 도둑이 저보다 더 영리한 사람이라는 것을 완전히 확신할 때까지 수색을 포기하지 않았습니다.
I fancy that I have investigated every nook and corner of the premises in which it is possible that the paper can be concealed."
그 서류가 숨겨질 수 있는 건물의 구석구석을 모두 조사했다고 생각합니다."
"But is it not possible," I suggested, "that although the letter may be in possession of the minister, as it unquestionably is, he may have concealed it elsewhere than upon his own premises?"
"하지만," 제가 말했습니다, "그 편지가 틀림없이 장관의 손에 있다 하더라도, 그가 자신의 건물이 아닌 다른 곳에 숨겨두었을 가능성은 없을까요?"
"This is barely possible," said Dupin.
"그럴 가능성은 거의 없습니다," 뒤팽이 말했습니다.
"The present peculiar condition of affairs at court, and especially of those intrigues in which D—— is known to be involved, would render the instant availability of the document—its susceptibility of being produced at a moment's notice—a point of nearly equal importance with its possession."
"현재 궁정의 특수한 상황, 특히 D——가 관여한 것으로 알려진 음모들을 고려하면, 그 문서를 즉시 이용할 수 있다는 것—즉각적으로 제시할 수 있다는 것—이 그것을 소유하는 것과 거의 동등하게 중요한 문제가 됩니다."
"Its susceptibility of being produced?" said I.
"즉각적으로 제시할 수 있다는 것이요?" 제가 말했습니다.
"That is to say, of being destroyed," said Dupin.
"즉, 파기될 수 있다는 뜻입니다," 뒤팽이 말했습니다.
"True," I observed; "the paper is clearly then upon the premises.
"그렇군요," 제가 말했습니다. "그렇다면 그 서류는 분명히 건물 안에 있겠군요.
As for its being upon the person of the minister, we may consider that as out of the question."
장관이 몸에 지니고 있을 가능성은 논외로 봐도 되겠습니다."
"Entirely," said the Prefect.
"전혀 없습니다," 경찰청장이 말했습니다.
"He has been twice waylaid, as if by footpads, and his person rigorously searched under my own inspection."
"그는 마치 노상강도에게 당하듯 두 번이나 기습을 당했으며, 제 직접 감독 하에 철저하게 몸수색을 받았습니다."
"You might have spared yourself this trouble," said Dupin.
"그런 수고는 하지 않으셔도 됐을 텐데요," 뒤팽이 말했습니다.
"D——, I presume, is not altogether a fool, and, if not, must have anticipated these waylayings, as a matter of course."
"D——는, 제 생각에, 완전한 바보는 아닐 테고, 그렇다면 당연히 이런 기습을 미리 예상했을 것입니다."
"Not altogether a fool," said G.
"완전한 바보는 아니지요," G가 말했습니다.
