붉은 머리와 긴 코
Red Hair and a Long Nose
“루돌프, 당신은 언제쯤 뭔가를 할 거예요?” 형의 아내가 말했다.
“Rudolf, when are you ever going to do anything?” said my brother’s wife.
“사랑하는 로즈, 내가 왜 뭔가를 해야 해요?” 나는 이렇게 대답하며 달걀 숟가락을 내려놓았다. “나는 편하게 살고, 돈도 거의 충분해요. 돈이 정말 충분한 사람은 아무도 없잖아요. 나는 버레스던 경의 동생이에요. 그거면 충분해요!”
“My dear Rose,” I answered, and I put down my egg spoon. “Why should I do anything? I have a comfortable life and nearly enough money, and nobody ever has quite enough. I’m the brother of Lord Burlesdon. It’s enough!”
“당신은 스물아홉 살이에요.” 로즈가 말했다. “그런데 한 일이라고는 여행하고…”
“You are twenty-nine,” she said, “and you’ve done nothing but…”
“여기저기 다니면서 즐긴 것밖에 없다고요? 맞아요. 우리 집안 사람은 일을 할 필요가 없어요.”
“Travel around and enjoy myself? That’s true. Our family doesn’t need to do things.”
이 말에 로즈는 조금 화가 났다. 로즈의 집안은 래센딜 집안보다 덜 대단했기 때문이다. 하지만 로즈는 예쁘고 아주 부자였다. 그래서 내 형 로버트는 신경 쓰지 않았다.
This made Rose a little angry, because her family was less grand than the Rassendylls. But she was pretty and very rich, so my brother Robert did not mind.
“좋은 집안은 보통 다른 집안보다 더 나빠요.” 로즈가 말했다.
“Good families are usually worse than other families,” she said.
나는 내 머리를 만졌다. 로즈가 무슨 말을 하는지 정확히 알았기 때문이다.
I touched my hair, because I knew exactly what she meant.
“로버트의 머리가 검은색이라서 정말 다행이에요!” 로즈가 소리쳤다.
“I’m so glad Robert’s hair is black!” she cried.
그때 로버트가 들어왔다. 로버트는 일곱 시에 일어나서 아침 식사 전에 일을 한다. 로버트는 아내의 붉은 얼굴을 보고 다정하게 만졌다.
At that moment Robert came in. He gets up at seven and works before breakfast. He saw his wife’s red face and touched it kindly.
“무슨 일이에요, 여보?” 로버트가 물었다.
“What’s the matter, my dear?” he asked.
“내가 아무것도 안 하고 머리가 붉어서 화가 났어요.” 나는 슬프게 말했다.
“She’s angry because I do nothing and I have red hair,” I said sadly.
“아, 물론 그의 머리는 그의 잘못이 아니에요.” 로즈가 말했다.
“Oh, of course his hair isn’t his fault,” said Rose.
“우리 집안에서는 서른 해쯤마다 한 사람이 그런 머리를 가지고 태어나. 코도 그렇고. 루돌프는 둘 다 가졌어.” 형이 말했다.
“One of the family gets that hair every thirty years or so,” said my brother. “The nose too. Rudolf has both.”
