I began life, and I ended life--the real living of the everyday world--as a newspaper man.

나는 신문 기자로 삶을 시작했고, 신문 기자로 삶을 끝냈습니다.

Newspapering, of a kind, commenced for me in a thriving little Western town when I was just fourteen years old, and had started out to climb from the bottom the long ladder that leads up through education and experience to fame and fortune.

일종의 신문 제작은 제가 14살 때 번창하는 작은 서부 마을에서 시작되었으며, 교육과 경험을 통해 명성과 부에 이르는 긴 사다리를 밑바닥부터 오르기 시작했습니다.

In this little town I was attracted by a sign in the window of a newspaper office.

이 작은 마을에서 나는 신문사 사무실 창문에 붙어 있는 간판에 이끌렸습니다.

A boy was wanted to deliver papers.

한 소년이 신문 배달을 부탁받았습니다.

I applied at the front counter for the job and was directed to the circulation manager, who critically sized me up and declared that I wouldn’t do.

나는 접수처에 가서 일자리를 신청했고, 순환 관리자에게 안내받았는데, 그는 나를 꼼꼼히 살펴보고는 내가 적합하지 않다고 선언했습니다.

He needed strong boys, he said, boys who were husky enough to pack a heavy bundle of newspapers over a route several miles in length and deliver them to subscribers before they sat down to breakfast.

그는 튼튼한 소년들이 필요하다고 말했습니다. 수 마일에 달하는 경로를 따라 무거운 신문 묶음을 포장하고 구독자들이 아침 식사를 하기 전에 배달할 수 있을 만큼 건장한 소년들이 필요하다고 했습니다.

I was a little chap, even for my age, but I had grit and persuaded the man to give me a trial.

나는 나이에 비해서도 키가 작았지만, 용기가 있어서 그 사람을 설득하여 시험을 보게 해 주었습니다.

It was my duty to be in the pressroom at 3.30 o’clock every morning, take papers from the press as fast as they were printed, fold to regulation form, and start off with several hundred strapped to my shoulder, delivering to the homes of subscribers as I went along.

나는 매일 아침 3시 30분에 인쇄실에 가서 인쇄가 끝나는 대로 신문을 받아 규격대로 접어 수백 부를 어깨에 메고 다니며 구독자들의 집에 배달하는 것이 내 임무였다.
