Wuthering Heights — Page 3

English → Korean CHAPTER I Level 8/10

Pure, bracing ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed: one may guess the power of the north wind, blowing over the edge, by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun.

그곳에서는 언제나 맑고 상쾌한 공기가 불어올 것임에 틀림없었다. 집 끝에 서 있는 몇 그루의 왜소한 전나무들이 지나치게 한쪽으로 기울어진 것을 보면, 그리고 앙상한 가시나무들이 마치 태양에게 자비를 구하듯 한쪽 방향으로 가지를 뻗고 있는 것을 보면, 능선을 넘어 불어오는 북풍의 위력을 가히 짐작할 수 있었다.

Happily, the architect had foresight to build it strong: the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with large jutting stones.

다행히도 건축가는 집을 튼튼하게 지을 선견지명이 있었으니, 좁은 창문들은 벽 깊숙이 박혀 있었고, 모서리는 크게 돌출된 돌들로 보호되어 있었다.

Before passing the threshold, I paused to admire a quantity of grotesque carving lavished over the front, and especially about the principal door; above which, among a wilderness of crumbling griffins and shameless little boys, I detected the date "1500," and the name "Hareton Earnshaw."

문지방을 넘기 전에, 나는 정면에, 특히 정문 주위에 가득 새겨진 기괴한 조각들을 감상하기 위해 잠시 발걸음을 멈추었다. 그 위쪽으로, 부서져가는 그리핀들과 뻔뻔스러운 어린 소년들이 뒤엉킨 사이에서, 나는 "1500"이라는 연도와 "해어턴 언쇼"라는 이름을 발견했다.

I would have made a few comments, and requested a short history of the place from the surly owner; but his attitude at the door appeared to demand my speedy entrance, or complete departure, and I had no desire to aggravate his impatience previous to inspecting the penetralium.

나는 몇 마디 소감을 말하고 퉁명스러운 주인에게 이 집의 간략한 내력을 물어보고 싶었지만, 문 앞에서 그의 태도는 내가 빨리 들어오거나 아니면 완전히 떠나기를 요구하는 것처럼 보였고, 나는 내부를 살펴보기 전에 그의 조급함을 더 자극할 생각이 없었다.

One step brought us into the family sitting-room, without any introductory lobby or passage: they call it here "the house" pre-eminently.

한 발짝을 내딛자 우리는 곧바로 가족 거실로 들어섰으니, 별도의 현관이나 복도도 없었다. 이곳 사람들은 그 방을 무엇보다도 "집"이라고 부른다.
