Treasure Island — Page 3
The man who came with the barrow told us the mail had set him down the morning before at the Royal George, that he had inquired what inns there were along the coast, and hearing ours well spoken of, I suppose, and described as lonely, had chosen it from the others for his place of residence.
손수레를 끌고 온 그 남자는 우편 마차가 전날 아침 로열 조지 여관 앞에 자신을 내려 주었으며, 그가 해안을 따라 어떤 여관들이 있는지 물어보았고, 우리 여관이 좋다는 말을 듣고, 또 외딴곳에 있다는 설명을 들었기 때문인지, 다른 여관들 중에서 이곳을 자신의 거처로 선택했다고 우리에게 말해 주었다.
And that was all we could learn of our guest.
그것이 우리가 손님에 대해 알 수 있었던 전부였다.
He was a very silent man by custom.
그는 평소 매우 말수가 적은 사람이었다.
All day he hung round the cove or upon the cliffs with a brass telescope; all evening he sat in a corner of the parlour next the fire and drank rum and water very strong.
그는 하루 종일 놋쇠 망원경을 들고 작은 포구 주변이나 절벽 위를 배회했고, 저녁 내내 응접실 한구석 난롯가에 앉아 독한 럼주에 물을 타서 마셨다.
Mostly he would not speak when spoken to, only look up sudden and fierce and blow through his nose like a fog-horn; and we and the people who came about our house soon learned to let him be.
대개 그는 누군가 말을 걸어도 대답하지 않고, 그저 갑자기 고개를 들어 사납게 쳐다보며 무적 경적처럼 코로 숨을 훅 내뿜을 뿐이었다. 그래서 우리와 우리 집을 드나드는 사람들은 곧 그를 내버려 두는 법을 배웠다.
Every day when he came back from his stroll he would ask if any seafaring men had gone by along the road.
매일 산책에서 돌아오면 그는 뱃사람처럼 보이는 자들이 길을 따라 지나간 적이 있느냐고 물어보곤 했다.
At first we thought it was the want of company of his own kind that made him ask this question, but at last we began to see he was desirous to avoid them.
처음에 우리는 그가 같은 부류의 사람들과 어울리고 싶어서 그런 질문을 하는 것이라고 생각했지만, 결국 우리는 그가 오히려 그들을 피하고 싶어 한다는 것을 알아차리기 시작했다.
