The Yellow Wallpaper — Page 12
But I must say what I feel and think in some way—it is such a relief!
하지만 나는 어떤 방식으로든 내가 느끼고 생각하는 것을 말해야 한다—이것은 정말 위안이 된다!
But the effort is getting to be greater than the relief.
하지만 그 노력이 위안보다 더 커지고 있다.
Half the time now I am awfully lazy, and lie down ever so much.
요즘은 시간의 절반을 몹시 게으르게 보내며, 아주 많이 누워 있다.
John says I mustn't lose my strength, and has me take cod-liver oil and lots of tonics and things, to say nothing of ale and wine and rare meat.
존은 내가 기력을 잃어서는 안 된다고 말하며, 에일과 포도주와 살짝 익힌 고기는 말할 것도 없고 대구 간유와 많은 강장제 같은 것들을 먹게 한다.
Dear John! He loves me very dearly, and hates to have me sick.
사랑하는 존! 그는 나를 아주 깊이 사랑하며, 내가 아픈 것을 몹시 싫어한다.
I tried to have a real earnest reasonable talk with him the other day, and tell him how I wish he would let me go and make a visit to Cousin Henry and Julia.
얼마 전에 나는 그와 진지하고 이성적인 대화를 나누려 했고, 사촌 헨리와 줄리아를 방문하러 가도록 허락해 주었으면 한다고 말하려 했다.
But he said I wasn't able to go, nor able to stand it after I got there; and I did not make out a very good case for myself, for I was crying before I had finished.
하지만 그는 내가 갈 수도 없고, 도착한 후에도 버틸 수 없을 것이라고 했다. 나는 내 주장을 잘 펼치지 못했는데, 말을 마치기도 전에 울고 있었기 때문이다.
It is getting to be a great effort for me to think straight. Just this nervous weakness, I suppose.
나는 똑바로 생각하는 것조차 점점 큰 노력이 필요해지고 있다. 그저 이 신경쇠약 때문이겠지.
And dear John gathered me up in his arms, and just carried me upstairs and laid me on the bed, and sat by me and read to me till it tired my head.
그리고 사랑하는 존은 나를 두 팔로 안아 들고 위층으로 데려가 침대에 눕혀 주었고, 내 곁에 앉아 머리가 피곤해질 때까지 책을 읽어 주었다.
He said I was his darling and his comfort and all he had, and that I must take care of myself for his sake, and keep well.
그는 내가 자신의 사랑하는 사람이자 위안이며 자신의 전부라고 말하면서, 그를 위해 몸을 잘 돌보고 건강을 유지해야 한다고 했다.
