낯선 남자가 오다
The Strange Man Arrives
낯선 사람는 2월 말에 아이핑에 왔다. 차가운 바람이 불고 눈이 많이 내렸다. 그해의 마지막 눈이었다. 그는 작은 검은 가방을 들고 브램블허스트 역에서 언덕을 넘어 걸어왔다.
The stranger came to Iping at the end of February, through cold wind and heavy snow. It was the last snow of the year. He walked over the hills from Bramblehurst station with a small black bag.
옷이 머리부터 발끝까지 그를 덮었고, 부드러운 모자가 얼굴을 가렸다. 반짝이는 코끝만 보였다.
Clothes covered him from head to foot, and his soft hat hid his face. Only the shiny tip of his nose showed.
남자는 코치 앤드 호시스 여관의 문으로 거의 넘어질 듯이 들어왔다.
He almost fell through the door of the Coach and Horses inn.
“불을 피워 주시오!” 남자가 소리쳤다. “제발, 도와주시오! 방 하나와 불이 필요하오!”
“A fire!” he shouted. “Please, be kind! A room and a fire!”
홀 부인이 여관의 주인이었다. 남자는 바에서 눈을 털고 부인을 따라 손님용 응접실로 들어갔다. 말은 거의 하지 않았지만, 금화 두 개를 탁자에 던졌다. 방값이었다.
Mrs. Hall owned the inn. He shook off the snow in the bar and followed her into the guest parlour. He said very little, but he threw two gold coins on the table. They paid for his room.
홀 부인은 불을 피우고 직접 음식을 하러 갔다. 겨울에 온 손님은 정말 큰 행운이었고, 이 손님은 돈 문제로 따지지도 않았다.
Mrs. Hall lit the fire and went to cook his meal herself. A guest in winter was wonderful luck, and this one did not argue about money.
어린 하녀 밀리는 느렸다. 그래서 홀 부인은 생각하는 대로 다 말해 주었다. 그리고 접시와 잔을 응접실로 가져가 식탁을 차렸다.
Her young servant Millie was slow, so Mrs. Hall told her exactly what she thought. Then she carried plates and glasses into the parlour and laid the table.
불은 잘 타고 있었지만, 낯선 사람는 아직도 모자와 외투를 입고 있었다. 남자는 창가에 서서 밖의 눈을 보았다.
The fire was burning well, but the stranger still wore his hat and coat. He stood at the window and looked out at the snow.
“모자와 외투를 받아 드릴까요, 선생님?” 홀 부인이 물었다. “부엌에서 잘 말려 드릴 수 있습니다.”
“Can I take your hat and coat, sir?” she asked. “I can give them a good dry in the kitchen.”
“아니요.” 남자는 말했고, 돌아보지 않았다.
“No,” he said, and he did not turn.
부인은 다시 물으려고 입을 열었다. 남자가 고개를 돌려 어깨 너머로 부인을 보았다. “그냥 입고 있는 게 좋아요.” 남자가 아주 분명하게 말했다.
She opened her mouth to ask again. He turned his head and looked at her over his shoulder. “I prefer to keep them on,” he said very clearly.
이제 부인은 남자의 큰 파란 고글을 보았다. 고글은 옆에도 유리가 있었다. 두꺼운 머리카락이 외투 깃 위로 내려와 뺨을 가렸다.
Now she saw his big blue goggles, with glass at the sides too. Thick hair came down over his coat collar and hid his cheeks.
“알겠습니다, 선생님.” 부인이 말했다. “선생님 마음 대로 하십시오.”
“Very well, sir,” she said. “ As you like.”
