The Old Sea-dog at the Admiral Benbow
애드미럴 벤보에서의 늙은 바다 사나이
Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17—, and go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman with the sabre cut first took up his lodging under our roof.
트렐로니 지주님, 리브시 박사님, 그리고 그 밖의 여러 신사분들이 보물섬에 관한 모든 사항을 처음부터 끝까지 빠짐없이 기록해 달라고 내게 부탁하셨는데, 단 섬의 위치만은 제외하기로 했으니, 그것은 아직 캐내지 못한 보물이 남아 있기 때문이다. 나는 17—년에 펜을 들어, 아버지가 애드미럴 벤보 여관을 운영하던 시절로, 그리고 군도 자국이 있는 그 나이 든 갈색 피부의 뱃사람이 처음으로 우리 집 지붕 아래 묵기 시작하던 때로 거슬러 올라가려 한다.
I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow--a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white.
그가 여관 문 앞으로 터벅터벅 걸어오던 모습이 마치 어제 일처럼 기억난다. 손수레에 실린 선원 궤짝이 그의 뒤를 따르고 있었다. 그는 키가 크고 강인하며 다부진 체구의 짙은 갈색 피부 사내였는데, 타르 냄새 나는 땋은 머리가 때 묻은 파란 외투의 어깨 위로 늘어져 있었고, 손은 거칠고 흉터투성이였으며, 손톱은 검고 부러져 있었고, 한쪽 뺨에는 군도 자국이 있어 지저분한 납빛 흰색을 띠고 있었다.
I remember him looking round the cove and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards:
그가 후미를 둘러보며 혼자 휘파람을 불다가, 훗날 그토록 자주 부르게 될 그 옛 뱃노래를 흥얼거리기 시작하던 모습도 기억난다.
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
"죽은 자의 궤짝 위에 열다섯 명-- 요호호, 럼주 한 병!"
in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and broken at the capstan bars.
그 노래는 캡스턴 바에서 다듬어지고 또 망가진 듯한, 높고 낡고 떨리는 목소리로 불렸다.
Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum.
그런 다음 그는 들고 있던 핸드스파이크 같은 막대기로 문을 두드렸고, 아버지가 나타나자 거칠게 럼주 한 잔을 달라고 했다.
