앨리스 프로젝트: 영어 따라 말하기

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies.

1달러 87센트. 그게 다였다. 그리고 그중 60센트는 1센트짜리 동전이었다.

The next evening, as the sun was going down, the Doctor said,

“Get me the telescope, Chee-Chee. Our journey is nearly ended. Very soon we should be able to see the shores of Africa.”

And about half an hour later, sure enough, they thought they could see something in front that might be land. But it began to get darker and darker and they couldn’t be sure.

-------------------------------

The next evening, as the sun was going down, the Doctor said,

(다음날 저녁, 해가 내려가고 있을 때, 두리틀이 말했다.)

“Get me the telescope, Chee-Chee.

(망원경 가져와 봐, 치치. )

Our journey is nearly ended.

(우리 여정이 거의 끝났어.)

✔is ended: end의 타동사('끝내다')를 수동태로 활용한 표현입니다. end를 자동사로 써서 our journey nearly ends라고 써도 문법적으로 틀린 것은 아니지만, 그러면 '우리 여정은 거의 끝난다'라는 의미가 되어 어색합니다. 따라서 수동태로 '상태'처럼 표현해 주는 편이 좋습니다. be over를 써서 our journey is nearly over로 표현할 수도 있습니다.

Very soon we should be able to see the shores of Africa.”

(곧 아프리카 해안을 볼 수 있어야 해.)

✔should: 전후 사정 또는 상황에 의해서 '그럴 수밖에 없다'라는 강한 확신을 표현합니다.

And about half an hour later, sure enough,

(그리고 약 30분 후에, 정말로)

they thought they could see something in front that might be land.

(그들은 전방에 육지일지도 모르는 무언가를 볼 수 있다고 생각했다)

✔could see: 더 부드럽게 번역하려면 '보인다고'라고 하면 됩니다.

But it began to get darker and darker

(그러나 점점 더 어두워지기 시작해서)

and they couldn’t be sure.

(그들은 그것이 육지라고 확신할 수 없었다.)

“There is an island not far from here,” said the porpoises, “where the wild onions grow tall and strong. Keep straight on—we will get some and catch up to you.”

So the porpoises dashed away through the sea. And very soon the parrot saw them again, coming up behind, dragging the onions through the waves in big nets made of seaweed.

----------------------------

“There is an island not far from here,” said the porpoises,

(여기서 멀지 않은 섬이 하나 있어요." 돌고래들이 말했다.)

“where the wild onions grow tall and strong.

(그곳에 야생 양파가 크고 튼튼하게 자라나죠.)

Keep straight on

(앞으로 쭉 가세요)

—we will get some and catch up to you.”

(-우리가 양파를 좀 챙겨서 당신들을 따라잡을게요.)

✔catch up: 따라잡다. 여기서처럼 물리적인 거리를 따라잡는다는 뜻도 되고, 밀린 공부를 따라잡는다, 몰랐던 소식을 따라잡는다 등의 뜻으로도 많이 쓰는 표현입니다. catch up 뒤에는 여기서처럼 to를 쓰기도 하지만 요즘은 with를 많이 씁니다.

So the porpoises dashed away through the sea.

(그래서 돌고래들은 바닷속으로 빠르게 나아갔다.)

✔dash: 빠르게 질주하다, 돌진하다. 여기서 돌고래들에게 run을 쓰기도 어색하니 dash 동사를 쓰기가 적절합니다.

✔away: 부사 away를 썼으니, 내 쪽(여기서는 앵무새 쪽)에서 멀어져 갔다는 사실을 알 수 있습니다. 그냥 dashed through the sea라고 써도 되지만, away를 씀으로써 문장 의미가 더 풍부하고 명확해집니다.

And very soon the parrot saw them again, coming up behind,

(그리고 금방 앵무새는 그들이 뒤에 오는 모습을 다시 보았다.)

dragging the onions through the waves in big nets made of seaweed.

(해초로 만든 커다란 망으로 파도를 헤치고 양파들을 끌면서.)

✔seaweed: 해조류

And another time a whole school of porpoises came dancing through the waves; and they too asked Polynesia if this was the ship of the famous doctor. And when they heard that it was, they asked the parrot if the Doctor wanted anything for his journey.

And Polynesia said, “Yes. We have run short of onions.”

-----------------------------

And another time

(또 한번은)

a whole school of porpoises came dancing through the waves;

(돌고래 무리가 파도 사이를 춤추며 왔다)

✔school: '무리, 떼' 대규모의 물고기나 고래 무리를 가리킬 때 씁니다.

✔porpoise: 쇠돌고래. 작고 동글동글하여 귀엽게 생긴 돌고래입니다.

✔come [-ing]: [-하면서] 오다

and they too asked Polynesia

(그들 또한 폴리네시아에게 물었다)

if this was the ship of the famous doctor.

(이게 그 유명한 의사의 배가 맞냐고)

And when they heard that it was,

(그리고 그들이 그렇다는 대답을 들었을 때)

they asked the parrot

(그들은 앵무새에게 물었다)

if the Doctor wanted anything for his journey.

(닥터가 여행하는 데 무언가 필요한 것은 없냐고)

And Polynesia said, “Yes. We have run short of onions.”

(그래서 폴리네시아가 말했다. "있어요. 우리는 양파가 다 떨어졌어요.")

✔run short of: ...을 다 써 버리다. ...이 다 떨어지다, 부족하다.

When they got near to the Equator they saw some flying-fishes coming towards them. And the fishes asked the parrot if this was Doctor Dolittle’s ship. When she told them it was, they said they were glad, because the monkeys in Africa were getting worried that he would never come. Polynesia asked them how many miles they had yet to go; and the flying-fishes said it was only fifty-five miles now to the coast of Africa.

----------------------

When they got near to the Equator

(그들이 적도 부근에 도착했을 때)

they saw some flying-fishes coming towards them.

(그들은 날치들이 다가오는 것을 보았다.)

✔flying-fish: 날치

✔see [목적어] [-ing]: [목적어]가 [-ing]하는 것을 보다. 지각동사 용법입니다. 지각동사 용법에 대한 자세한 사항은 2020년 9월 14일 '꼬집어 문법'을 참고하세요.

And the fishes asked the parrot if this was Doctor Dolittle’s ship.

(그리고 날치들은 이것이 닥터 두리틀의 배냐고 앵무새에게 물었다.)

✔ask if: ...인지 아닌지 묻다.

When she told them it was,

(앵무새가 그렇다고 하자)

✔it was [Doctor Dolittle's ship]에서 []부분이 생략되었습니다.

they said they were glad,

(그들은 기쁘다고 말했다)

because the monkeys in Africa were getting worried that he would never come.

(왜냐하면 아프리카의 원숭이들이 그가 오지 않을까 봐 걱정하고 있기 때문에)

✔get worried: '걱정하다'를 영작한다면 그냥 worry만 쓰기 쉬운데, 그래도 되지만 get worried를 쓰는 것도 생각해 볼 수 있습니다.

Polynesia asked them how many miles they had yet to go;

(폴리네시아는 그들이 아직 몇 마일을 더 가야 하는지 날치들에게 물었다)

✔have yet to [동사원형]: 앞으로 일어나야 한다고 생각하는 일이 아직 안 일어났을 때 쓸 수 있는 표현입니다. have to(해야 한다) 사이에 yet이 들어간 형태로, 지금도 많이 쓰이는 표현입니다.

✔다른 해석 방법: they have 3 miles yet to go (그들은 아직 가야 할 3마일을 가지고 있다)는 식으로, have를 '거리가 남아 있다'는 뜻으로 해석할 수도 있습니다. 그러나 여기서는 have yet to [동사원형] 용법으로 보는 것이 더 타당합니다.

and the flying-fishes said

(그러자 날치들이 말했다)

it was only fifty-five miles now

(이제 겨우 55마일뿐이라고)

✔1마일은 약 1.6킬로미터로, 55마일은 약 88킬로미터입니다.

to the coast of Africa.

(아프리카 해안까지)

Dab-Dab, the duck, used to keep herself cool by jumping into the sea and swimming behind the ship. And every once in a while, when the top of her head got too hot, she would dive under the ship and come up on the other side. In this way, too, she used to catch herrings on Tuesdays and Fridays—when everybody on the boat ate fish to make the beef last longer.

As they sailed further and further into the South, it got warmer and warmer. Polynesia, Chee-Chee and the crocodile enjoyed the hot sun no end. They ran about laughing and looking over the side of the ship to see if they could see Africa yet.

But the pig and the dog and the owl, Too-Too, could do nothing in such weather, but sat at the end of the ship in the shade of a big barrel, with their tongues hanging out, drinking lemonade.

---------------------------------------------

As they sailed further and further into the South,

(그들이 남쪽으로 더욱더 항해해 갈수록)

✔far-further-furthest: '정도'의 의미를 나타낼 때, far의 비교급은 further가 됩니다. 본문에서는 '멀다'는 뜻보다 '항해를 더 하다'는 정도의 뜻이므로, further로 비교급을 표현합니다.

✔far-farther-farthest: '멀다'는 뜻의 '거리'의 의미를 나타낼 때, far의 비교급은 farther가 됩니다. '더 멀리'. 본문에서는 더 멀어진다는 의미보다 '항해를 더 해 나간다'는 의미이므로 further를 썼습니다.

A MESSAGE FROM AFRICA

THAT Winter was a very cold one. And one night in December, when they were all sitting round the warm fire in the kitchen, and the Doctor was reading aloud to them out of books he had written himself in animal-language, the owl, Too-Too, suddenly said,

“Sh! What’s that noise outside?”

They all listened; and presently they heard the sound of some one running. Then the door flew open and the monkey, Chee-Chee, ran in, badly out of breath.

“Doctor!” he cried, “I’ve just had a message from a cousin of mine in Africa. There is a terrible sickness among the monkeys out there. They are all catching it—and they are dying in hundreds. They have heard of you, and beg you to come to Africa to stop the sickness.”

“Who brought the message?” asked the Doctor, taking off his spectacles and laying down his book.

“A swallow,” said Chee-Chee. “She is outside on the rain-butt.”

“Bring her in by the fire,” said the Doctor. “She must be perished with the cold. The swallows flew South six weeks ago!”

So the swallow was brought in, all huddled and shivering; and although she was a little afraid at first, she soon got warmed up and sat on the edge of the mantelpiece and began to talk.

When she had finished the Doctor said,

“I would gladly go to Africa—especially in this bitter weather. But I’m afraid we haven’t money enough to buy the tickets. Get me the money-box, Chee-Chee.”

So the monkey climbed up and got it off the top shelf of the dresser.

There was nothing in it—not one single penny!

“I felt sure there was twopence left,” said the Doctor.

“There _was_” said the owl. “But you spent it on a rattle for that badger’s baby when he was teething.”

“Did I?” said the Doctor—“dear me, dear me! What a nuisance money is, to be sure! Well, never mind. Perhaps if I go down to the seaside I shall be able to borrow a boat that will take us to Africa. I knew a seaman once who brought his baby to me with measles. Maybe he’ll lend us his boat—the baby got well.”

So early the next morning the Doctor went down to the sea-shore. And when he came back he told the animals it was all right—the sailor was going to lend them the boat.

Then the crocodile and the monkey and the parrot were very glad and began to sing, because they were going back to Africa, their real home. And the Doctor said,

“I shall only be able to take you three—with Jip the dog, Dab-Dab the duck, Gub-Gub the pig and the owl, Too-Too. The rest of the animals, like the dormice and the water-voles and the bats, they will have to go back and live in the fields where they were born till we come home again. But as most of them sleep through the Winter, they won’t mind that—and besides, it wouldn’t be good for them to go to Africa.”

So then the parrot, who had been on long sea-voyages before, began telling the Doctor all the things he would have to take with him on the ship.

“You must have plenty of pilot-bread,” she said—“‘hard tack’ they call it. And you must have beef in cans—and an anchor.”

“I expect the ship will have its own anchor,” said the Doctor.

“Well, make sure,” said Polynesia. “Because it’s very important. You can’t stop if you haven’t got an anchor. And you’ll need a bell.”

“What’s that for?” asked the Doctor.

“To tell the time by,” said the parrot. “You go and ring it every half-hour and then you know what time it is. And bring a whole lot of rope—it always comes in handy on voyages.”

Then they began to wonder where they were going to get the money from to buy all the things they needed.

“Oh, bother it! Money again,” cried the Doctor. “Goodness! I shall be glad to get to Africa where we don’t have to have any! I’ll go and ask the grocer if he will wait for his money till I get back—No, I’ll send the sailor to ask him.”

So the sailor went to see the grocer. And presently he came back with all the things they wanted.

Then the animals packed up; and after they had turned off the water so the pipes wouldn’t freeze, and put up the shutters, they closed the house and gave the key to the old horse who lived in the stable. And when they had seen that there was plenty of hay in the loft to last the horse through the Winter, they carried all their luggage down to the seashore and got on to the boat.

The Cat’s-meat-Man was there to see them off; and he brought a large suet-pudding as a present for the Doctor because, he said he had been told, you couldn’t get suet-puddings in foreign parts.

As soon as they were on the ship, Gub-Gub, the pig, asked where the beds were, for it was four o’clock in the afternoon and he wanted his nap. So Polynesia took him downstairs into the inside of the ship and showed him the beds, set all on top of one another like book-shelves against a wall.

“Why, that isn’t a bed!” cried Gub-Gub. “That’s a shelf!”

“Beds are always like that on ships,” said the parrot. “It isn’t a shelf. Climb up into it and go to sleep. That’s what you call ‘a bunk.’”

“I don’t think I’ll go to bed yet,” said Gub-Gub. “I’m too excited. I want to go upstairs again and see them start.”

“Well, this is your first trip,” said Polynesia. “You will get used to the life after a while.” And she went back up the stairs of the ship, humming this song to herself,

I’ve seen the Black Sea and the Red Sea;

I rounded the Isle of Wight;

I discovered the Yellow River,

And the Orange too—by night.

Now Greenland drops behind again,

And I sail the ocean Blue.

I’m tired of all these colors, Jane,

So I’m coming back to you.

They were just going to start on their journey, when the Doctor said he would have to go back and ask the sailor the way to Africa.

But the swallow said she had been to that country many times and would show them how to get there.

So the Doctor told Chee-Chee to pull up the anchor and the voyage began.
