'Everyone has heard of the case of Elizabeth Canning,' writes Mr. John Paget; and till recently I agreed with him.

'엘리자베스 캐닝 사건은 누구나 들어본 적이 있을 것입니다.'라고 존 파젯 씨는 썼습니다. 그리고 최근까지 저도 그의 의견에 동의했습니다.

But five or six years ago the case of Elizabeth Canning repeated itself in a marvellous way, and then but few persons of my acquaintance had ever heard of that mysterious girl.

그러나 5년이나 6년 전에 엘리자베스 캐닝의 사건이 놀라운 방식으로 반복되었는데, 그때는 내가 아는 사람들 중 그 신비로운 소녀에 대해 들어본 사람이 거의 없었습니다.

The recent case, so strange a parallel to that of 1753, was this: In Cheshire lived a young woman whose business in life was that of a daily governess.

1753년의 사건과 이상하게 유사한 최근의 사건은 다음과 같습니다. 체셔에 한 젊은 여성이 살고 있었는데, 그녀의 직업은 매일 가정교사였습니다.

One Sunday her family went to church in the morning, but she set off to skate, by herself, on a lonely pond.

어느 일요일 아침, 그녀의 가족은 교회에 갔지만 그녀는 혼자 외딴 연못으로 스케이트를 타러 나갔다.

She was never seen of or heard of again till, in the dusk of the following Thursday, her hat was found outside of the door of her father's farmyard.

그 후 목요일 저녁 무렵, 그녀의 모자가 아버지 농장 마당 문 밖에 놓여 있는 것이 발견될 때까지 그녀는 다시는 보이지도 들리지도 않았습니다.

Her friend discovered her further off in a most miserable condition, weak, emaciated, and with her skull fractured.

그녀의 친구는 그녀를 더 멀리 떨어진 곳에서 매우 비참한 상태로 발견했는데, 그녀는 약하고 수척했으며 두개골이 골절되어 있었다.

Her explanation was that a man had seized her on the ice, or as she left it, had dragged her across the fields, and had shut her up in a house, from which she escaped, crawled to her father's home, and, when she found herself unable to go further, tossed her hat towards the farm door.

그녀의 설명은 한 남자가 얼음 위에서, 혹은 그녀가 얼음을 떠날 때 그녀를 붙잡아 들판을 가로질러 끌고 가서 집에 가두었다는 것이었습니다. 그녀는 거기서 탈출하여 아버지 집으로 기어갔고, 더 이상 갈 수 없게 되자 농장 문 쪽으로 모자를 던졌습니다.

Neither such a man as she described, nor the house in which she had been imprisoned, was ever found.

그녀가 묘사한 그런 남자도, 그녀가 감금되었던 집도 결코 발견되지 않았습니다.
