The Works of Edgar Allan Poe — Volume 2 — Page 8
, "but then he's a poet, which I take to be only one remove from a fool."
, "하지만 그는 시인이니, 제 생각엔 바보에서 한 단계밖에 차이가 없는 셈이죠."
"True," said Dupin, after a long and thoughtful whiff from his meerschaum, "although I have been guilty of certain doggrel myself."
"맞는 말이오," 뒤팽이 머샴 파이프를 길고 사려 깊게 한 모금 빨고 나서 말했다, "비록 나 자신도 몇몇 졸시를 지은 적이 있긴 하지만."
"Suppose you detail," said I, "the particulars of your search."
"수색의 세부 사항을 자세히 말씀해 주시죠," 내가 말했다.
"Why the fact is, we took our time, and we searched _everywhere_.
"사실은, 우리는 충분한 시간을 들여 _어디든_ 수색했소.
I have had long experience in these affairs.
나는 이런 일에 오랜 경험이 있소.
I took the entire building, room by room; devoting the nights of a whole week to each.
나는 건물 전체를 방마다 살폈으며, 각 방마다 꼬박 일주일의 밤을 바쳤소.
We examined, first, the furniture of each apartment.
우리는 먼저 각 방의 가구를 조사했소.
We opened every possible drawer; and I presume you know that, to a properly trained police agent, such a thing as a secret drawer is impossible.
우리는 열 수 있는 서랍은 모두 열었소. 그리고 제대로 훈련된 경찰관에게 비밀 서랍 같은 것은 있을 수 없다는 걸 당신도 알 거라고 생각하오.
Any man is a dolt who permits a 'secret' drawer to escape him in a search of this kind.
이런 종류의 수색에서 '비밀' 서랍을 놓치는 사람은 누구든 멍청이요.
The thing is so plain.
그 이유는 아주 명백하오.
There is a certain amount of bulk—of space—to be accounted for in every cabinet.
모든 캐비닛에는 설명되어야 할 일정한 부피, 즉 공간이 있소.
Then we have accurate rules.
그리고 우리에게는 정확한 규칙이 있소.
The fiftieth part of a line could not escape us.
선의 오십분의 일도 우리를 피해갈 수 없소.
After the cabinets we took the chairs.
캐비닛 다음에는 의자들을 살폈소.
The cushions we probed with the fine long needles you have seen me employ.
쿠션들은 당신도 내가 사용하는 것을 본 적 있는 가늘고 긴 바늘로 탐침했소.
From the tables we removed the tops."
탁자들은 상판을 떼어냈소."
"Why so?"
"왜 그랬소?"
"Sometimes the top of a table, or other similarly arranged piece of furniture, is removed by the person wishing to conceal an article; then the leg is excavated, the article deposited within the cavity, and the top replaced.
"때로는 물건을 숨기려는 사람이 탁자의 상판이나 비슷하게 만들어진 다른 가구의 윗부분을 떼어낸 다음, 다리 부분을 파내어 그 공간 안에 물건을 넣고 상판을 다시 덮는 경우가 있소.
