Wuthering Heights — Page 9

I bowed and returned the pledge; beginning to perceive that it would be foolish to sit sulking for the misbehaviour of a pack of curs; besides, I felt loth to yield the fellow further amusement at my expense; since his humour took that turn.
나는 고개를 숙여 답례했다. 그리고 한 무리의 잡개들의 못된 행동 때문에 잔뜩 토라져 앉아 있는 것은 어리석은 짓이라는 것을 깨닫기 시작했다. 게다가 그의 기분이 그런 방향으로 흘렀으니, 그 자에게 내 희생으로 더 이상의 즐거움을 주고 싶지 않았다.
He—probably swayed by prudential consideration of the folly of offending a good tenant—relaxed a little in the laconic style of chipping off his pronouns and auxiliary verbs, and introduced what he supposed would be a subject of interest to me,—a discourse on the advantages and disadvantages of my present place of retirement.
그는—아마도 좋은 세입자의 기분을 상하게 하는 것이 어리석다는 신중한 판단에 이끌렸는지—대명사와 조동사를 잘라내는 간결한 말투를 조금 누그러뜨리고, 내가 관심을 가질 것이라 생각한 주제를 꺼냈다. 바로 내가 현재 머물고 있는 곳의 장단점에 관한 이야기였다.
I found him very intelligent on the topics we touched; and before I went home, I was encouraged so far as to volunteer another visit to-morrow.
우리가 나눈 주제들에 관해 그가 매우 지적임을 알게 되었다. 그리고 집에 돌아가기 전에, 나는 용기를 내어 내일 또 방문하겠다고 자청하기에 이르렀다.
He evidently wished no repetition of my intrusion.
그는 분명히 내가 다시 찾아오는 것을 원하지 않았다.
I shall go, notwithstanding.
그럼에도 불구하고 나는 갈 것이다.
It is astonishing how sociable I feel myself compared with him.
그와 비교하면 내가 얼마나 사교적인지 놀라울 따름이다.
