From the text
“Nor could you wonder had you witnessed a recent experience of mine when, in the armor of blissful and stupendous ignorance, I gaily narrated the gist of it to a Fellow of the Royal Geological Society on the occasion of my last trip to London.”

In the first place please bear in mind that I do not expect you to believe this story.
우선, 저는 여러분이 이 이야기를 믿기를 기대하지 않는다는 점을 명심해 주십시오.
Nor could you wonder had you witnessed a recent experience of mine when, in the armor of blissful and stupendous ignorance, I gaily narrated the gist of it to a Fellow of the Royal Geological Society on the occasion of my last trip to London.
내가 최근 런던에 갔을 때 행복하고 놀라운 무지의 갑옷을 입고 왕립 지질학회 회원에게 그 요지를 즐겁게 이야기했을 때, 당신이 내 최근 경험을 목격했더라면 놀라지 않았을 것이다.
You would surely have thought that I had been detected in no less a heinous crime than the purloining of the Crown Jewels from the Tower, or putting poison in the coffee of His Majesty the King.
당신은 내가 런던탑에서 왕관보석을 훔치거나 왕의 커피에 독을 넣는 것과 같은 흉악한 범죄를 저지른 것으로 착각했을 것입니다.
The erudite gentleman in whom I confided congealed before I was half through!—it is all that saved him from exploding—and my dreams of an Honorary Fellowship, gold medals, and a niche in the Hall of Fame faded into the thin, cold air of his arctic atmosphere.
내가 믿고 의지했던 박식한 신사분은 내가 말을 채 끝내기도 전에 굳어 버렸네!—그것이 그분이 폭발하지 않고 살아남은 전부였지—명예 펠로우십, 금메달, 명예의 전당에 이름을 올리겠다는 나의 꿈은 그분의 북극처럼 차가운 공기 속으로 사라져 버렸네.
But I believe the story, and so would you, and so would the learned Fellow of the Royal Geological Society, had you and he heard it from the lips of the man who told it to me.
그러나 나는 그 이야기를 믿고, 당신도 그럴 것이며, 왕립 지질학회의 학식 있는 회원도 그 이야기를 내게 전한 사람의 입에서 직접 들었다면 그럴 것이다.
Had you seen, as I did, the fire of truth in those gray eyes; had you felt the ring of sincerity in that quiet voice; had you realized the pathos of it all—you, too, would believe.
만일 당신이 나처럼 그 회색 눈동자 속 진실의 불꽃을 보았더라면, 그 조용한 목소리 속 진실의 울림을 느꼈더라면, 그 모든 것의 애처로움을 깨달았더라면, 당신도 믿었을 것입니다.
You would not have needed the final ocular proof that I had—the weird rhamphorhynchus-like creature which he had brought back with him from the inner world.
내가 가지고 있던 마지막 시각적 증거, 곧 그가 내면 세계에서 가져온 기괴한 람포린쿠스 같은 생물은 필요하지 않았을 것입니다.
I came upon him quite suddenly, and no less unexpectedly, upon the rim of the great Sahara Desert.
나는 그를 아주 갑자기, 그리고 예상치 못하게, 거대한 사하라 사막의 가장자리에서 만났습니다.
