Once on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.
어느 어두운 겨울날, 런던 거리에는 노란 안개가 짙게 자욱하게 끼어 가로등이 켜지고 상점 유리창이 밤처럼 가스등으로 환하게 빛나고 있었는데, 이상하게 생긴 어린 소녀가 아버지와 함께 마차에 앉아 큰 대로를 천천히 지나가고 있었습니다.
She sat with her feet tucked under her, and leaned against her father, who held her in his arm, as she stared out of the window at the passing people with a queer old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes.
그녀는 발을 몸 아래로 모으고 앉아 팔로 그녀를 안고 있는 아버지에게 기대어 큰 눈에 기묘하고 고풍스러운 생각에 잠긴 채 창밖으로 지나가는 사람들을 바라보았습니다.
She was such a little girl that one did not expect to see such a look on her small face.
그녀는 너무나 어린 소녀였기에, 그 작은 얼굴에 그런 표정이 나타날 거라고는 아무도 예상하지 못했습니다.
It would have been an old look for a child of twelve, and Sara Crewe was only seven.
그것은 열두 살짜리 아이에게는 늙어 보이는 모습이었을 것이며, 사라 크루는 겨우 일곱 살이었다.
The fact was, however, that she was always dreaming and thinking odd things and could not herself remember any time when she had not been thinking things about grown-up people and the world they belonged to.
그러나 사실은 그녀는 항상 이상한 꿈을 꾸고 이상한 생각을 하고 있었고, 어른들과 그들이 속한 세상에 대해 생각하지 않았던 때를 스스로 기억할 수 없었다.
She felt as if she had lived a long, long time.
그녀는 마치 아주 오랜 세월을 살아온 것 같은 기분이 들었다.
At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father, Captain Crewe.
이때 그녀는 아버지 크루 선장과 함께 봄베이에서 출발했던 항해를 떠올리고 있었다.
She was thinking of the big ship, of the Lascars passing silently to and fro on it, of the children playing about on the hot deck, and of some young officers' wives who used to try to make her talk to them and laugh at the things she said.
그녀는 큰 배, 그 위를 조용히 오가는 라스카르 사람들, 뜨거운 갑판에서 뛰어노는 아이들, 그리고 그녀에게 말을 걸고 그녀의 말에 웃어주려 애쓰던 젊은 장교 부인들을 생각하고 있었다.
