Won from the Waves — Page 6
They had retreated back a few paces to avoid the salt showers.
그들은 소금 물보라를 피하기 위해 몇 걸음 뒤로 물러났다.
Adam still seemed somewhat unwilling to give up putting to sea, when the dull sound of a gun from the offing reached their ears.
아담은 여전히 출항을 포기하기가 다소 내키지 않는 듯 보였는데, 그때 먼 바다에서 둔탁한 포성이 그들의 귀에 들려왔다.
Another and another followed.
또 한 발, 또 한 발이 이어졌다.
"There is a ship on Norton Sands," observed one of the men.
"노턴 모래톱에 배가 있어," 한 남자가 말했다.
"Those guns are too far off for that," answered Halliburt.
"저 포성은 그러기엔 너무 멀리서 들려," 핼리버트가 대답했다.
Two others followed, and then came the thunder-sounding reports of several fired together.
두 발이 더 이어지더니, 이윽고 여러 발이 동시에 발사된 천둥 같은 포성이 울려 퍼졌다.
"I was sure those were not guns of distress.
"저건 분명 조난 신호포가 아니야.
They come from ships in action, depend on that; and the news is true we heard yesterday, that the French and English are at it again," exclaimed Adam.
저건 교전 중인 배들에서 나는 소리야, 틀림없어. 어제 우리가 들은 소식, 프랑스와 영국이 또 싸우고 있다는 게 사실인 거야," 아담이 외쳤다.
"I thought we shouldn't long remain friends with the Mounsiers."
"우리가 무슈들과 오래 사이좋게 지내지는 못할 거라 생각했지."
"Good luck be with the English ships!" cried one of the fishermen.
"영국 배들에게 행운이 함께하길!" 어부 중 한 명이 외쳤다.
"Amen to that! but they must be careful what they are about, for with the wind dead on shore, if they knock away each other's spars, they are both more than likely to drift on Norton Sands, and if they do, the Lord have mercy on them," said Adam, solemnly.
"그 말이 맞아! 하지만 조심해야 해. 바람이 정면으로 해안을 향해 불고 있으니, 서로 돛대를 부숴버리면 둘 다 노턴 모래톱으로 떠밀려갈 가능성이 높고, 그렇게 되면 하느님이 그들을 불쌍히 여겨 주셔야 할 거야," 아담이 엄숙하게 말했다.
"Whichever gets the victory, they will be in a bad way, as I fear, after all, it will be a dirty night.
"어느 쪽이 이기든, 내 생각엔 그들은 곤경에 처하게 될 거야. 결국 오늘 밤은 험한 날씨가 될 테니까.
The wind has shifted three points to the eastward since I left home, and it's blowing twice as hard as it did ten minutes ago.
내가 집을 나선 이후 바람이 동쪽으로 세 방위나 바뀌었고, 십 분 전보다 두 배는 세게 불고 있어.
We may as well run the _Nancy_ up to her moorings, lads."
낸시 호를 정박지로 끌어올리는 게 낫겠어, 이 친구들아."
