From the text

“The host rang and ordered the remains of the supper to be removed.--“So then, the matter is settled,”--he said, ensconcing himself more deeply in his arm-chair, and lighting a cigar:--“each of us is to narrate the history of his first love. ’Tis your turn, Sergyéi Nikoláevitch.”” First Love, and Other Stories · Ivan Turgenev

“How was that?”

“어땠습니까?”

“Very simply. I was eighteen years of age when, for the first time, I dangled after a very charming young lady; but I courted her as though it were no new thing to me: exactly as I courted others afterward.

“아주 간단합니다. 제가 열여덟 살 때 처음으로 아주 매력적인 아가씨에게 구애를 했습니다. 하지만 저는 마치 처음 있는 일이 아닌 것처럼, 나중에 다른 사람들에게 구애했던 것과 똑같이 그녀에게 구애했습니다.

To tell the truth, I fell in love, for the first and last time, at the age of six, with my nurse;--but that is a very long time ago.

사실대로 말하자면, 나는 여섯 살 때 처음이자 마지막으로 내 유모와 사랑에 빠졌습니다. 하지만 그것은 아주 오래전 일입니다.

The details of our relations have been erased from my memory; but even if I remembered them, who would be interested in them?”

우리 관계에 대한 자세한 내용은 내 기억에서 지워졌습니다. 설령 내가 기억한다 해도 누가 그런 것에 관심을 가지겠습니까?

“Then what are we to do?”--began the host.--“There was nothing very startling about my first love either; I never fell in love with any one before Anna Ivánovna, now my wife; and everything ran as though on oil with us; our fathers made up the match, we very promptly fell in love with each other, and entered the bonds of matrimony without delay.

“그럼 우리는 어떻게 해야 합니까?” 주인이 말을 시작했다. “제 첫사랑도 그다지 놀라운 일은 아니었습니다. 저는 지금의 아내인 안나 이바노브나 이전에는 누구와도 사랑에 빠진 적이 없었습니다. 우리 사이는 모든 것이 순조로웠습니다. 우리 아버지들이 중매를 해 주셨고, 우리는 서로에게 금세 사랑에 빠져 지체 없이 결혼했습니다.”

My story can be told in two words.

내 이야기는 두 단어로 요약할 수 있습니다.

I must confess, gentlemen, that in raising the question of first love, I set my hopes on you, I will not say old, but yet no longer young bachelors.

신사 여러분, 첫사랑에 대한 질문을 제기하면서 저는 여러분, 즉 나이가 많다고는 말할 수 없지만 그렇다고 더 이상 젊지도 않은 미혼 남성분들께 희망을 걸고 있음을 고백해야겠습니다.

Will not you divert us with something, Vladímir Petróvitch?”

블라디미르 페트로비치, 우리를 즐겁게 해 줄 무언가가 없으신가요?
