Won from the Waves — Page 7

English → Korean CHAPTER ONE. Level 6/10

As one of the men was hurrying off to carry this order to the rest, a heavier blast than before came across the ocean.

한 남자가 이 명령을 나머지 사람들에게 전하러 서둘러 달려가는 동안, 이전보다 더 강한 돌풍이 바다를 가로질러 몰아쳤다.

It had the effect of rending the veil of mist in two, and the rain ceasing, the keen eyes of the fishermen distinguished in the offing two ships running towards the land, the one a short distance ahead of the other, which was firing at her from her bow-chasers, the leading and smaller vessel returning the fire with her after guns, and apparently determined either to gain a sheltering harbour or to run on shore rather than be taken.

그 돌풍은 안개의 장막을 둘로 가르는 효과를 냈고, 비가 그치자 어부들의 날카로운 눈이 먼 바다에서 육지를 향해 달려오는 두 척의 배를 알아보았는데, 한 척이 다른 배보다 약간 앞서 있었고, 뒤처진 배는 이물 추격포로 앞 배를 향해 포격하고 있었으며, 앞서가는 작은 배는 고물 포로 응사하면서 피신할 수 있는 항구를 찾아 들어가거나 아니면 나포되느니 차라리 해안에 좌초하겠다는 듯이 보였다.

The moment that revealed her to the spectators showed those on board how near she was to the shore, though evidently they were not aware of the still nearer danger of the treacherous sandbank.

그 배가 구경꾼들에게 모습을 드러낸 순간, 배 위의 사람들에게도 해안이 얼마나 가까운지가 나타났지만, 그들은 더욱 가까이 도사리고 있는 위험한 모래톱의 위험을 분명히 알아채지 못하고 있었다.

An exclamation of dismay and pity escaped those who were looking at her.

그 배를 바라보던 사람들의 입에서 경악과 연민의 탄성이 터져 나왔다.

"If she had been half a mile to the nor'ard she might have stood through Norton Gut and been safe," observed Halliburt; "but if she is a stranger there is little chance of her hauling off in time to escape the sands."

"만약 저 배가 북쪽으로 반 마일만 더 있었다면 노턴 협수로를 통과해서 안전했을 텐데," 할리버트가 말했다. "하지만 저 배가 이 지역을 모르는 배라면 제때에 모래톱을 피해 물러날 가능성은 거의 없어."

While he was speaking, the sternmost ship was seen to come to the wind; her yards were braced up, and now, apparently aware of her danger, she endeavoured to stand off the land before the rising gale should render the undertaking impossible.

그가 말하는 동안, 맨 뒤에 있던 배가 바람 쪽으로 돌아서는 것이 보였다. 그 배의 활대가 당겨 올려졌고, 이제 위험을 감지한 듯 거세지는 폭풍이 그 일을 불가능하게 만들기 전에 육지에서 멀어지려 애쓰고 있었다.

The hard-pressed chase directly afterwards attempted to follow her example.

쫓기던 배도 곧바로 그 뒤를 따라 같은 행동을 취하려 했다.
