The Yellow Wallpaper — Page 3
That spoils my ghostliness, I am afraid; but I don't care—there is something strange about the house—I can feel it.
그것이 내 유령 같은 느낌을 망쳐버리는 것 같아 걱정되지만, 상관없어요—이 집에는 뭔가 이상한 것이 있어요—느낄 수 있거든요.
I even said so to John one moonlight evening, but he said what I felt was a draught, and shut the window.
달빛이 비치는 어느 저녁 존에게 그렇게 말했지만, 그는 내가 느낀 것이 외풍일 뿐이라며 창문을 닫아버렸어요.
I get unreasonably angry with John sometimes. I'm sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition.
가끔 존에게 이유 없이 화가 나기도 해요. 예전에는 이렇게 예민하지 않았던 것 같은데. 이 신경쇠약 때문인 것 같아요.
But John says if I feel so I shall neglect proper self-control; so I take pains to control myself,—before him, at least,—and that makes me very tired.
하지만 존은 내가 그렇게 느끼면 적절한 자제력을 잃게 될 거라고 해요. 그래서 나는 스스로를 다스리려 애쓰는데—적어도 그 앞에서만큼은요—그게 나를 무척 지치게 만들어요.
I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window, and such pretty old-fashioned chintz hangings! but John would not hear of it.
우리 방이 전혀 마음에 들지 않아요. 베란다로 통하고 창문 가득 장미가 있으며 예쁜 구식 사라사 천 커튼이 달린 아래층 방을 원했는데, 존이 전혀 들으려 하지 않았어요.
He said there was only one window and not room for two beds, and no near room for him if he took another.
그는 창문이 하나뿐이고 침대 두 개를 놓을 공간도 없으며, 다른 방을 쓰면 자기가 머물 가까운 방이 없다고 했어요.
He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction.
그는 매우 세심하고 다정하며, 특별한 지시 없이는 내가 거의 움직이지 못하게 해요.
I have a schedule prescription for each hour in the day; he takes all care from me, and so I feel basely ungrateful not to value it more.
하루의 매 시간마다 정해진 처방이 있어요. 그가 나의 모든 걱정을 덜어주니, 그것을 더 소중히 여기지 않는 나 자신이 비열하게 배은망덕한 것처럼 느껴져요.
He said we came here solely on my account, that I was to have perfect rest and all the air I could get. "Your exercise depends on your strength, my dear," said he, "and your food somewhat on your appetite; but air you can absorb all the time.
그는 우리가 오로지 나를 위해 이곳에 왔으며, 내가 완전한 휴식을 취하고 가능한 한 많은 바깥 공기를 마셔야 한다고 했어요. "당신의 운동은 체력에 달려 있고, 여보," 그가 말했어요, "음식은 어느 정도 식욕에 달려 있지만, 공기는 언제든지 마음껏 마실 수 있잖소.
