Won from the Waves — Page 1
ON THE PIER.
부두에서.
It was a gloomy evening.
우울한 저녁이었다.
A small group of fishermen were standing--at the end of a rough wooden pier projecting out into the water and forming the southern side of the mouth of a small river.
작은 강의 하구 남쪽을 이루며 물 위로 뻗어 나간 거친 나무 부두의 끝에 소수의 어부들이 서 있었다.
A thick mist, which drove in across the German Ocean, obscured the sky, and prevented any object being seen beyond a few hundred fathoms from the shore, on which the dark leaden-coloured waves broke lazily in with that sullen-sounding roar which often betokens the approach of a heavy gale.
북해를 가로질러 밀려드는 짙은 안개가 하늘을 가리고, 해안에서 수백 길 너머로는 아무것도 볼 수 없게 했으며, 그 해안에는 거센 폭풍의 전조가 되는 음산한 굉음과 함께 어둡고 납빛의 파도가 느릿느릿 밀려들고 있었다.
On the north side of the river was a wide extent of sandy ground, where the vegetation consisted of stunted furze-bushes and salt-loving plants with leaves of a dull pale green, growing among patches of coarse grass, the roots of which assisted to keep the sand from being blown away by the fierce wintry gales which blew across it.
강의 북쪽에는 넓은 모래땅이 펼쳐져 있었고, 그곳의 식생은 키가 작은 가시금작화 덤불과 소금기를 좋아하는 식물들로 이루어져 있었는데, 그 식물들은 거친 풀밭 사이에서 칙칙한 연두색 잎을 달고 자라고 있었으며, 풀뿌리들은 그곳을 휩쓸고 지나가는 맹렬한 겨울 강풍에 모래가 날아가지 않도록 붙잡는 데 도움을 주었다.
On the right hand of the fishermen as they looked seaward, and beyond an intervening level space, rose a line of high cliffs of light clay and sand extending far to the southward, with a narrow beach at their base.
어부들이 바다 쪽을 바라볼 때 그들의 오른편으로, 중간에 펼쳐진 평지 너머에는 밝은 색의 점토와 모래로 이루어진 높은 절벽들이 줄지어 남쪽 멀리까지 뻗어 있었고, 그 기슭에는 좁은 해변이 있었다.
Parallel with the river was a green bank, on the sides of which were perched several cottages, the materials composing them showing that they were the abodes of the hardy men who gained their livelihood on the salt deep.
강과 나란히 푸른 둑이 있었고, 그 비탈에는 여러 채의 오두막이 자리 잡고 있었는데, 그것들을 이루고 있는 재료들은 그 집들이 거친 바다에서 생계를 이어 가는 강인한 사람들의 거처임을 보여 주었다.
The palings which surrounded them, the sheds and outhouses, and even the ornaments with which they were decorated, were evidently portions of wrecks.
오두막들을 둘러싼 울타리와 헛간과 부속 건물들, 그리고 심지어 장식으로 쓰인 물건들까지도 분명히 난파선의 잔해들이었다.
