Crime and Punishment Volume 1

On an exceptionally hot evening early in July a young man came out of the garret in which he lodged in S. Place and walked slowly, as though in hesitation, towards K. bridge.

7월 초 어느 유난히 더운 저녁에 한 젊은이가 S. Place에 있는 자기가 묵던 다락방에서 나와 망설이는 듯 천천히 K. 다리 쪽으로 걸어갔다.

He had successfully avoided meeting his landlady on the staircase.

그는 계단에서 집주인과 마주치는 것을 성공적으로 피했다.

His garret was under the roof of a high, five-storied house and was more like a cupboard than a room.

그의 다락방은 5층 높이의 집 지붕 아래에 있었는데, 방이라기보다는 찬장에 가까웠습니다.

The landlady who provided him with garret, dinners, and attendance, lived on the floor below, and every time he went out he was obliged to pass her kitchen, the door of which invariably stood open.

그에게 다락방과 식사, 시중을 제공했던 여주인은 아래층에 살았고, 그가 나갈 때마다 항상 문이 열려 있는 그녀의 부엌을 지나가야 했습니다.

And each time he passed, the young man had a sick, frightened feeling, which made him scowl and feel ashamed.

그가 지나갈 때마다 그 젊은이는 병들고 두려운 느낌을 받아 얼굴을 찡그리고 부끄러움을 느꼈습니다.

He was hopelessly in debt to his landlady, and was afraid of meeting her.

그는 집주인에게 빚이 너무 많아 그녀를 만나는 것이 두려웠습니다.

This was not because he was cowardly and abject, quite the contrary; but for some time past he had been in an overstrained irritable condition, verging on hypochondria.

이것은 그가 겁쟁이거나 비겁해서가 아니라, 오히려 정반대였습니다. 그는 얼마 전부터 지나치게 긴장하고 예민한 상태였으며, 거의 건강염려증에 가까웠습니다.

He had become so completely absorbed in himself, and isolated from his fellows that he dreaded meeting, not only his landlady, but anyone at all.

그는 자기 자신에게 완전히 몰두하고 동료들과 단절되어 집주인뿐 아니라 누구와도 만나는 것을 두려워하게 되었습니다.
