Won from the Waves — Page 2

English → Korean CHAPTER ONE. Level 6/10

Over the door of one might be seen the figure-head of some unfortunate vessel.

그 중 하나의 문 위에는 어느 불운한 선박의 선수상이 보였다.

An arbour, not rustic but nautical, was composed of the carved work of a Dutch galliot; indeed, the owners of few had failed to secure some portion of the numerous hapless vessels which from time to time had been driven on their treacherous coast.

전원풍이 아닌 해양풍의 정자 하나가 네덜란드 갈리엇 선의 조각 장식물로 이루어져 있었으며, 실로 그 지역의 주민 중 때때로 험악한 해안으로 밀려온 수많은 불운한 선박들의 일부를 확보하지 못한 이는 거의 없었다.

On the level ground between the cliff and the river stood two or three other cottages.

절벽과 강 사이의 평평한 땅 위에는 두세 채의 다른 오두막이 서 있었다.

One, the largest of them, appeared to be built almost entirely of wreck wood, from the uneven appearance presented by the walls and roof, the architect having apparently adapted such pieces of timber as came to hand without employing the saw to bring them into more fitting shape; the chimney, however, and the lower portions of the walls, were constructed of hewn stone, taken probably from some ancient edifice long demolished.

그 중 가장 큰 하나는 벽과 지붕의 고르지 못한 외관으로 미루어 거의 전부가 난파선의 목재로 지어진 것으로 보였는데, 건축가가 손에 닿는 목재 조각들을 톱으로 더 적합한 형태로 다듬지 않고 그대로 사용한 것이 분명했다. 그러나 굴뚝과 벽의 아랫부분은 아마도 오래전에 허물어진 어느 고대 건물에서 가져온 다듬은 돌로 지어져 있었다.

Though the exterior of the cottage, with its boat and fish sheds, looked somewhat rough, it had altogether a substantial and not uncomfortable appearance.

배와 물고기 창고를 갖춘 오두막의 외관은 다소 거칠어 보였지만, 전체적으로는 견고하고 불편하지 않은 모습이었다.

The most conspicuous object in the landscape was a windmill standing a little way to the southward on the top of the cliff.

그 풍경에서 가장 눈에 띄는 것은 절벽 꼭대기에서 조금 남쪽으로 서 있는 풍차였다.

Its sails were moving slowly round, but their tattered condition showed that but a small amount of grist was ground within.

풍차의 날개는 천천히 돌고 있었지만, 그 너덜너덜한 상태는 내부에서 아주 적은 양의 곡식만이 빻아지고 있음을 보여주었다.

Such was the aspect of the little village of Hurlston and its surroundings towards the end of the last century.

이것이 지난 세기 말 허를스턴이라는 작은 마을과 그 주변의 모습이었다.
