The first Wednesday in every month was a Perfectly Awful Day--a day to be awaited with dread, endured with courage and forgotten with haste.

매달 첫째 수요일은 지극히 무서운 날이었으니, 두려워하며 기다리고, 용기를 내어 견디며, 서둘러 잊어버려야 할 날이었습니다.

Every floor must be spotless, every chair dustless, and every bed without a wrinkle.

모든 바닥은 티끌 하나 없이 깨끗해야 하고, 모든 의자는 먼지 하나 없이 깨끗해야 하며, 모든 침대는 주름 하나 없이 깨끗해야 합니다.

Ninety-seven squirming little orphans must be scrubbed and combed and buttoned into freshly starched ginghams; and all ninety-seven reminded of their manners, and told to say, 'Yes, sir,' 'No, sir,' whenever a Trustee spoke.

꿈틀거리는 어린 고아 아흔일곱 명을 깨끗이 씻기고 빗질하고 갓 다림질한 체크무늬 옷을 입혀야 하며, 아흔일곱 명 모두에게 예의범절을 일깨워 주고 신탁자가 말할 때마다 '예, 선생님', '아니요, 선생님'이라고 말하도록 가르쳐야 합니다.

It was a distressing time; and poor Jerusha Abbott, being the oldest orphan, had to bear the brunt of it.

그때는 고통스러운 시기였고, 가장 나이가 많은 고아였던 불쌍한 예루샤 아봇은 그 고통을 고스란히 감당해야 했습니다.

But this particular first Wednesday, like its predecessors, finally dragged itself to a close.

그러나 이 특별한 첫째 수요일은 이전의 수요일들과 마찬가지로 마침내 끝이 났습니다.

Jerusha escaped from the pantry where she had been making sandwiches for the asylum's guests, and turned upstairs to accomplish her regular work.

예루샤는 정신병원의 손님들을 위해 샌드위치를 ​​만들던 식료품 저장실에서 탈출하여 평소처럼 일을 하기 위해 위층으로 올라갔습니다.

Her special care was room F, where eleven little tots, from four to seven, occupied eleven little cots set in a row.

그녀가 특별히 돌보았던 방은 F번 방이었는데, 그곳에는 네 살에서 일곱 살 사이의 어린아이 열한 명이 일렬로 놓인 열한 개의 작은 침대를 사용하고 있었습니다.

Jerusha assembled her charges, straightened their rumpled frocks, wiped their noses, and started them in an orderly and willing line towards the dining-room to engage themselves for a blessed half hour with bread and milk and prune pudding.

예루샤는 자기 자녀들을 모아 구겨진 옷을 바로잡고 코를 닦아준 다음, 빵과 우유와 자두 푸딩을 먹으며 축복받은 삼십 분을 보내도록 질서정연하고 기꺼이 줄지어 식당으로 향하게 했습니다.
