Won from the Waves — Page 12

English → Korean CHAPTER ONE. Level 6/10

Adam's appeal had its due effect.

아담의 호소는 그에 마땅한 효과를 발휘했다.

Even the most superstitious were ashamed of refusing to accompany him.

가장 미신을 믿는 사람들조차도 그와 동행하기를 거부하는 것을 부끄러워했다.

When he sprang on board the boat his crew willingly followed.

그가 배에 뛰어오르자 선원들은 기꺼이 따랐다.

He would have sent back his second boy Sam, but the lad earnestly entreated to be taken.

그는 둘째 아들 샘을 돌려보내려 했으나, 그 소년은 간절히 데려가 달라고 애원했다.

"If you go, father, why should I stop behind?

"아버지가 가신다면, 왜 제가 뒤에 남아야 합니까?

Jacob will look after mother, and I would rather share whatever may happen to you," he said.

야곱이 어머니를 돌볼 것이고, 저는 아버지에게 무슨 일이 생기든 함께하고 싶습니다," 라고 그가 말했다.

Adam and his men were soon on board the boat: the most of them had shares in her, and thus they risked their property as well as their lives.

아담과 그의 선원들은 곧 배에 올랐다. 그들 대부분은 배의 지분을 가지고 있었으며, 그리하여 목숨뿐만 아니라 재산도 위험에 처하게 되었다.

The oars were got out, and the men, fixing themselves firmly in their seats, prepared for the task before them.

노가 꺼내졌고, 선원들은 자리에 단단히 자리를 잡고 앞에 놓인 과업을 위해 준비했다.

Shoving off from the shore, Adam took the helm.

해안에서 배를 밀어내며, 아담은 키를 잡았다.

The men pulled away right lustily, and emerging from the harbour, in another minute they were breasting the heaving foam-crested billows in the teeth of the gale.

선원들은 힘차게 노를 저었고, 항구를 빠져나온 지 얼마 지나지 않아 폭풍을 정면으로 맞서며 거품으로 뒤덮인 파도를 헤쳐 나가고 있었다.

Sometimes, when a stronger blast than usual swept over the water, they appeared, instead of making headway, to be drifting back towards the dimly-seen shore astern.

때때로 평소보다 강한 돌풍이 수면을 휩쓸 때면, 그들은 앞으로 나아가는 대신 선미 쪽 희미하게 보이는 해안을 향해 뒤로 밀려가는 것처럼 보였다.

Now, again exerting all their strength, they once more made progress in the direction of the wreck.

이제 다시 온 힘을 다해, 그들은 난파선 방향으로 다시 한번 전진해 나갔다.

All this time the minute guns had been heard, showing that the ship still held together, and that help, if it came, would not be useless.

이 모든 시간 동안 분포 소리가 들려왔고, 이는 배가 아직 버티고 있으며 도움이 온다면 헛되지 않을 것임을 보여주었다.

The sound encouraged Adam and his crew to persevere.

그 소리는 아담과 그의 선원들이 계속 버텨나가도록 격려했다.

The reports, however, now came at longer intervals than at first from each other.

그러나 포성은 이제 처음보다 더 긴 간격을 두고 들려왔다.
