English → Korean Full Text Level 6/10

I know a little of the principle of design, and I know this thing was not arranged on any laws of radiation, or alternation, or repetition, or symmetry, or anything else that I ever heard of.

나는 디자인의 원리에 대해 조금 알고 있는데, 이것은 내가 들어본 어떤 방사, 교대, 반복, 대칭, 혹은 그 밖의 어떤 법칙에도 따라 배열된 것이 아님을 안다.

It is repeated, of course, by the breadths, but not otherwise.

물론 폭에 따라 반복되기는 하지만, 그 외에는 그렇지 않다.

Looked at in one way each breadth stands alone, the bloated curves and flourishes—a kind of "debased Romanesque" with delirium tremens—go waddling up and down in isolated columns of fatuity.

한 가지 방식으로 보면 각각의 폭은 독립적으로 존재하며, 부풀어 오른 곡선과 장식들—진전섬망을 동반한 일종의 "타락한 로마네스크"—이 우둔함의 고립된 기둥 속에서 뒤뚱거리며 오르내린다.

But, on the other hand, they connect diagonally, and the sprawling outlines run off in great slanting waves of optic horror, like a lot of wallowing seaweeds in full chase.

하지만 다른 한편으로는, 그것들이 대각선으로 이어지며, 뻗어 나가는 윤곽선들이 마구 뒤엉켜 쫓기는 해초들처럼 시각적 공포의 거대한 비스듬한 파도를 이루며 뻗어 나간다.

The whole thing goes horizontally, too, at least it seems so, and I exhaust myself in trying to distinguish the order of its going in that direction.

전체적으로 수평으로도 뻗어 나가는 것 같기도 하고, 적어도 그렇게 보이는데, 나는 그 방향으로 나아가는 순서를 파악하려다 지쳐버린다.

They have used a horizontal breadth for a frieze, and that adds wonderfully to the confusion.

그들은 프리즈를 위해 수평적인 폭을 사용했는데, 그것이 혼란을 더욱 가중시킨다.

There is one end of the room where it is almost intact, and there, when the cross-lights fade and the low sun shines directly upon it, I can almost fancy radiation after all,—the interminable grotesques seem to form around a common centre and rush off in headlong plunges of equal distraction.

방의 한쪽 끝에는 벽지가 거의 온전히 남아 있는 곳이 있는데, 그곳에서 교차하는 빛이 사라지고 낮은 태양이 직접 비출 때, 나는 결국 방사 같은 것을 거의 상상할 수 있다—끝없는 기괴한 형상들이 공통된 중심을 이루며 모여들다가 동등한 혼란의 무모한 돌진으로 뻗어 나가는 것처럼 보인다.

It makes me tired to follow it. I will take a nap, I guess.

그것을 따라가다 보면 피곤해진다. 낮잠을 자야겠다.

I don't know why I should write this.

왜 이것을 써야 하는지 모르겠다.

I don't want to.

쓰고 싶지 않다.

I don't feel able.

쓸 수 있을 것 같지 않다.

And I know John would think it absurd.

그리고 존은 이것을 터무니없다고 생각할 것이다.
