Treasure Island — Page 6
For in these fits he was the most overriding companion ever known; he would slap his hand on the table for silence all round; he would fly up in a passion of anger at a question, or sometimes because none was put, and so he judged the company was not following his story.
왜냐하면 이런 발작 상태에서 그는 지금껏 알려진 가장 강압적인 동반자였기 때문이다. 그는 사방을 조용히 시키려고 탁자를 손으로 탁 치곤 했고, 누군가 질문을 하면 격렬한 분노로 펄쩍 뛰어오르거나, 때로는 아무도 질문을 하지 않았다는 이유로 화를 냈는데, 그것은 일행이 자신의 이야기를 따라오지 않는다고 판단했기 때문이었다.
Nor would he allow anyone to leave the inn till he had drunk himself sleepy and reeled off to bed.
그는 자신이 술에 취해 졸릴 때까지, 그리고 비틀거리며 침대로 물러날 때까지 아무도 여관을 떠나도록 허락하지 않았다.
His stories were what frightened people worst of all.
그의 이야기야말로 사람들을 가장 두렵게 만드는 것이었다.
Dreadful stories they were--about hanging, and walking the plank, and storms at sea, and the Dry Tortugas, and wild deeds and places on the Spanish Main.
그것들은 끔찍한 이야기들이었다. 교수형에 관한 것, 널빤지 위를 걷는 것, 바다의 폭풍, 드라이 토르투가스, 그리고 스페인령 해역에서의 거친 행위와 장소들에 관한 것이었다.
By his own account he must have lived his life among some of the wickedest men that God ever allowed upon the sea, and the language in which he told these stories shocked our plain country people almost as much as the crimes that he described.
그 자신의 말에 따르면 그는 신이 바다 위에 허락한 가장 사악한 자들 중 일부와 함께 삶을 보낸 것이 틀림없었으며, 그가 이 이야기들을 전하는 데 사용한 언어는 그가 묘사한 범죄들만큼이나 우리의 순박한 시골 사람들에게 충격을 주었다.
My father was always saying the inn would be ruined, for people would soon cease coming there to be tyrannized over and put down, and sent shivering to their beds; but I really believe his presence did us good.
아버지는 여관이 망할 것이라고 늘 말씀하셨는데, 사람들이 곧 그곳에 와서 억압당하고 짓눌리며 몸을 떨며 침대로 쫓겨나는 것을 그만둘 것이라는 이유에서였다. 하지만 나는 정말로 그의 존재가 우리에게 도움이 되었다고 믿는다.
