Won from the Waves — Page 9

English → Korean CHAPTER ONE. Level 6/10

That the ship had struck and was in dire distress there could be no doubt, but when they gazed at the dark, heaving waves which rolled in crested with foam, and just discernible in the fast waning twilight, and felt the fierce blast against which even they could scarcely stand upright on the slippery pier, hardy and bold as they were, they hesitated about venturing forth to the rescue of the hapless crew.

배가 좌초되어 극심한 위기에 처해 있다는 것은 의심할 여지가 없었지만, 그들이 거품으로 뒤덮인 물마루를 일으키며 밀려드는 어둡고 출렁이는 파도를 바라보고, 빠르게 저물어 가는 황혼 속에서 겨우 분간할 수 있을 뿐이었으며, 미끄러운 부두 위에서 그들조차 똑바로 서 있기 어려울 만큼 거센 돌풍을 온몸으로 느꼈을 때, 아무리 강인하고 대담한 그들이었지만 불운한 선원들을 구하러 나서는 것을 망설였다.

Long before they could reach the wreck darkness would be resting on the troubled ocean; they doubted, indeed, whether they could force their boat out in the teeth of the fierce gale.

그들이 난파선에 닿기 훨씬 전에 어둠이 거칠게 출렁이는 바다를 뒤덮을 것이었고, 실로 그들은 맹렬한 강풍을 정면으로 맞서며 배를 밀어낼 수 있을지조차 의심스러웠다.

Adam took a turn on the pier.

애덤은 부두 위를 한 바퀴 걸었다.

His heart was greatly troubled.

그의 마음은 크게 무거웠다.

He had never failed, if a boat could live, to be among the first to dash out to the rescue of his fellow-creatures when a ship had been cast on those treacherous sandbanks.

배가 버틸 수만 있다면, 그는 배가 저 험악한 모래톱에 좌초될 때마다 동료 인간들을 구하러 가장 먼저 달려나가는 것을 한 번도 게을리한 적이 없었다.

The hazard was great.

위험은 매우 컸다.

He knew that with the strength of his crew exhausted the boat might be hurled back amid the breakers, to be dashed on the shore; or, should they even succeed in reaching the neighbourhood of the wreck, where the greatest danger was to be encountered, they might fail in getting near enough to save any of the people.

그는 선원들의 체력이 고갈되면 배가 파도 속에서 다시 튕겨 나가 해안에 부딪힐 수도 있다는 것을 알고 있었고, 설령 가장 큰 위험이 도사리고 있는 난파선 근처에 도달하는 데 성공한다 해도, 사람들을 구할 만큼 충분히 가까이 접근하는 데 실패할 수도 있었다.

Every moment of delay increased the risk which must be run.

지체하는 매 순간이 감수해야 할 위험을 더욱 키웠다.
