My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip.

내 아버지의 성은 피립이고 내 세례명은 필립이었는데, 어린 시절의 나는 두 이름을 더 길거나 명확하게 발음할 수 없어서 핍이라고밖에 말할 수 없었다.

So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.

그래서 나는 나 자신을 핍이라 불렀고, 핍이라 불리게 되었습니다.

I give Pirrip as my father’s family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister,—Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith.

나는 아버지의 묘비와 대장장이와 결혼한 내 누이 조 가거리 부인의 말을 근거로 아버지의 성을 피립(Pirrip)이라고 말합니다.

As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like were unreasonably derived from their tombstones.

나는 아버지나 어머니를 본 적도 없고, 그분들의 모습을 본 적도 없었으므로 (사진이 발명되기 훨씬 이전 시대에 살았기 때문에), 그분들의 모습에 대한 나의 첫 상상은 부당하게도 그분들의 묘비에서 비롯되었다.

The shape of the letters on my father’s, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair.

아버지의 글자 모양을 보니, 아버지는 체격이 크고 뚱뚱하며 검은 머리에 곱슬거리는 검은 머리를 가진 분이라는 이상한 생각이 들었습니다.

From the character and turn of the inscription, “Also Georgiana Wife of the Above,” I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly.

“또한 위의 아내 조지아나”라는 비문의 형태와 내용으로 보아 나는 어린아이처럼 어머니가 주근깨가 많고 병약하다고 결론지었습니다.

To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine,—who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle,—I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence.

무덤 옆에 가지런히 일렬로 배열되어 있던 길이 약 1피트 반 정도 되는 작은 마름모꼴 돌 다섯 개는, 온 세상의 투쟁 속에서 너무 일찍 생계를 유지하려는 노력을 포기한 나의 다섯 어린 동생들을 기리는 신성한 물건이었는데, 나는 그 돌들 덕분에 그들이 모두 바지 주머니에 손을 넣은 채 등을 대고 태어났고, 이 세상에 태어나서는 한 번도 손을 꺼내 본 적이 없다는 믿음을 굳게 갖게 되었습니다.

Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea.

우리의 땅은 강가의 습지였고, 강이 굽이굽이 흐르는 곳에 바다에서 20마일이나 떨어져 있었습니다.
