There was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke.

이번에는 그에게 희망이 없었습니다. 세 번째 타격이었습니다.

Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly.

밤마다 나는 그 집 앞을 지나가면서 (방학 기간이었기에) 불이 켜진 네모난 창문을 살펴보았는데, 밤마다 그 창문은 희미하고 고르게 똑같이 불이 켜져 있었습니다.

If he was dead, I thought, I would see the reflection of candles on the darkened blind for I knew that two candles must be set at the head of a corpse.

만일 그가 죽었다면, 나는 어두워진 블라인드에 비친 촛불의 모습을 볼 수 있을 거라고 생각했습니다. 왜냐하면 시체의 머리맡에는 반드시 두 개의 촛불을 켜야 한다는 것을 알고 있었기 때문입니다.

He had often said to me: “I am not long for this world,” and I had thought his words idle.

그는 내게 자주 “나는 이 세상에 오래 살지 못할 것이다”라고 말했는데, 나는 그의 말이 헛된 것이라고 생각했다.

Now I knew they were true.

이제 나는 그것들이 사실임을 알았습니다.

Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis.

매일 밤 창문을 올려다보며 나는 마음속으로 ‘마비’라는 말을 나지막이 되뇌었다.

It had always sounded strangely in my ears, like the word gnomon in the Euclid and the word simony in the Catechism.

그것은 마치 유클리드 기하학의 그노몬이라는 단어나 교리문답의 시모니라는 단어처럼 내 귀에는 항상 이상하게 들렸습니다.

But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being.

그러나 이제 내게는 그 이름이 악하고 죄악된 존재의 이름처럼 들렸습니다.
