English → Korean THE PURLOINED LETTER Level 8/10

This functionary grasped it in a perfect agony of joy, opened it with a trembling hand, cast a rapid glance at its contents, and then, scrambling and struggling to the door, rushed at length unceremoniously from the room and from the house, without having uttered a syllable since Dupin had requested him to fill up the check.

이 관리는 완전한 기쁨의 황홀경 속에서 그것을 움켜쥐고, 떨리는 손으로 그것을 열었으며, 내용물을 재빨리 훑어본 후, 문을 향해 허둥지둥 버둥거리며, 뒤팽이 수표를 작성해 달라고 요청한 이후 단 한 마디도 내뱉지 않은 채 결국 방에서, 그리고 집에서 무례하게 뛰쳐나갔다.

When he had gone, my friend entered into some explanations.

그가 떠나자, 내 친구는 몇 가지 설명을 늘어놓았다.

"The Parisian police," he said, "are exceedingly able in their way.

"파리 경찰은," 그가 말했다, "그들 나름의 방식에 있어서는 대단히 유능하오.

They are persevering, ingenious, cunning, and thoroughly versed in the knowledge which their duties seem chiefly to demand.

그들은 끈질기고, 독창적이며, 교활하고, 그들의 임무가 주로 요구하는 것으로 보이는 지식에 완전히 정통해 있소.

Thus, when G—— detailed to us his mode of searching the premises at the Hotel D——, I felt entire confidence in his having made a satisfactory investigation—so far as his labors extended."

따라서, G——가 D—— 호텔의 구내를 수색하는 자신의 방식을 우리에게 상세히 설명했을 때, 나는 그가 만족스러운 수사를 했다는 것에 완전한 확신을 가졌소—그의 노력이 미치는 한에서는."

"So far as his labors extended?" said I.

"그의 노력이 미치는 한에서는요?" 내가 말했다.

"Yes," said Dupin.

"그렇소," 뒤팽이 말했다.

"The measures adopted were not only the best of their kind, but carried out to absolute perfection.

"채택된 조치들은 그 종류에 있어서 최선일 뿐만 아니라, 완전한 완벽함으로 수행되었소.

Had the letter been deposited within the range of their search, these fellows would, beyond a question, have found it."

만약 편지가 그들의 수색 범위 내에 숨겨져 있었다면, 이 친구들은 의심할 여지 없이 그것을 찾아냈을 것이오."

I merely laughed—but he seemed quite serious in all that he said.

나는 그저 웃었다—하지만 그는 자신이 말하는 모든 것에 꽤 진지해 보였다.

"The measures, then," he continued, "were good in their kind, and well executed; their defect lay in their being inapplicable to the case, and to the man.

"그렇다면 그 조치들은," 그가 계속했다, "그 종류에 있어서는 훌륭했고, 잘 수행되었소; 그 결함은 그것들이 이 사건과 이 인물에게 적용될 수 없다는 데 있었소.

A certain set of highly ingenious resources are, with the Prefect, a sort of Procrustean bed, to which he forcibly adapts his designs.

대단히 독창적인 일련의 수단들이, 경시총감에게 있어서는, 일종의 프로크루스테스의 침대와 같아서, 그는 자신의 계획을 그것에 억지로 맞추는 것이오.
