English → Korean THE PURLOINED LETTER Level 8/10

"'We will suppose,' said the miser, 'that his symptoms are such and such; now, doctor, what would you have directed him to take?'

"'증상이 이러이러하다고 가정해 봅시다,' 라고 구두쇠가 말했습니다. '자, 의사 선생님, 그에게 무엇을 복용하도록 지시하셨겠습니까?'

"'Take!' said Abernethy, 'why, take advice, to be sure.'"

"'복용이라고요!' 라고 애버네시가 말했습니다. '아, 물론 충고를 받아들이라는 거죠.'"

"But," said the Prefect, a little discomposed, "I am perfectly willing to take advice, and to pay for it.

"하지만," 경감이 약간 당황하며 말했습니다. "저는 충고를 받아들이고 그 대가를 지불할 용의가 충분히 있습니다.

I would really give fifty thousand francs to any one who would aid me in the matter."

이 일에서 저를 도와줄 수 있는 사람에게는 정말로 오만 프랑을 드리겠습니다."

"In that case," replied Dupin, opening a drawer, and producing a check-book, "you may as well fill me up a check for the amount mentioned.

"그렇다면," 뒤팽이 서랍을 열어 수표책을 꺼내며 대답했습니다. "말씀하신 금액으로 수표를 써 주시면 됩니다.

When you have signed it, I will hand you the letter."

서명을 하시면, 편지를 드리겠습니다."

I was astounded.

나는 깜짝 놀랐습니다.

The Prefect appeared absolutely thunder-stricken.

경감은 완전히 벼락을 맞은 것처럼 보였습니다.

For some minutes he remained speechless and motionless, looking incredulously at my friend with open mouth, and eyes that seemed starting from their sockets;

몇 분 동안 그는 말도 못 하고 꼼짝도 하지 않은 채, 입을 벌리고 눈이 튀어나올 듯한 표정으로 믿을 수 없다는 듯이 내 친구를 바라보았습니다.

then, apparently recovering himself in some measure, he seized a pen, and after several pauses and vacant stares, finally filled up and signed a check for fifty thousand francs, and handed it across the table to Dupin.

그러다가 어느 정도 정신을 차린 듯, 그는 펜을 집어 들고 몇 번이나 멈추고 멍한 시선을 보내다가, 마침내 오만 프랑짜리 수표를 작성하여 서명한 뒤 탁자 너머로 뒤팽에게 건네주었습니다.

The latter examined it carefully and deposited it in his pocket-book; then, unlocking an escritoire, took thence a letter and gave it to the Prefect.

뒤팽은 수표를 꼼꼼히 살펴본 뒤 지갑에 넣었습니다. 그런 다음 서랍장의 잠금을 풀고 그 안에서 편지를 꺼내 경감에게 건네주었습니다.
