A young nobleman, the Chevalier des Grieux, abandons his prospects after falling in love with Manon Lescaut, a beautiful girl bound for a convent. Her love of luxury drags the couple into debt, gambling and crime.
From the text
“Though I rarely quitted my retreat, still the interest I felt in my child's welfare induced me occasionally to undertake short journeys, which, however, I took good care to abridge as much as possible.”
Manon Lescaut · Abbé Prévost

Just about six months before my departure for Spain, I first met the Chevalier des Grieux.
스페인으로 떠나기 약 6개월 전에 나는 처음으로 슈발리에 데 그리에를 만났습니다.
Though I rarely quitted my retreat, still the interest I felt in my child's welfare induced me occasionally to undertake short journeys, which, however, I took good care to abridge as much as possible.
비록 내가 은둔 생활을 거의 떠나지 않았지만, 내 아이의 복지에 대한 관심 때문에 때때로 짧은 여행을 떠나곤 했으나, 가능한 한 여행 기간을 줄이려고 노력했습니다.
I was one day returning from Rouen, where I had been, at her request, to attend a cause then pending before the Parliament of Normandy, respecting an inheritance to which I had claims derived from my maternal grandfather.
나는 어느 날 루앙에서 돌아오는 길이었는데, 그녀의 요청으로 나는 외할아버지로부터 물려받은 상속권에 관한 소송을 위해 노르망디 의회에 계류 중이던 사건에 참석하러 그곳에 갔었다.
Having taken the road by Evreux, where I slept the first night, I on the following day, about dinner-time, reached Passy, a distance of five or six leagues.
나는 에브뢰를 지나는 길을 택하여 첫날 밤을 거기서 자고 다음 날 저녁 식사 시간쯤에 5~6 리그 떨어진 파시에 도착했습니다.
I was amazed, on entering this quiet town, to see all the inhabitants in commotion.
내가 이 조용한 마을에 들어가 보니 모든 주민들이 소란을 피우고 있는 것을 보고 놀랐다.
They were pouring from their houses in crowds, towards the gate of a small inn, immediately before which two covered vans were drawn up.
그들은 무리 지어 집에서 쏟아져 나와 작은 여관 문으로 향했는데, 그 바로 앞에 덮개가 있는 밴 두 대가 줄지어 서 있었다.
Their horses still in harness, and reeking from fatigue and heat, showed that the cortege had only just arrived.
그들의 말들은 여전히 마구를 차고 있었고, 피로와 더위로 악취를 풍기고 있었는데, 이는 행렬이 이제 막 도착했음을 보여주었다.
I stopped for a moment to learn the cause of the tumult, but could gain little information from the curious mob as they rushed by, heedless of my enquiries, and hastening impatiently towards the inn in the utmost confusion.
나는 소란의 원인을 알아보려고 잠시 멈춰 섰으나, 호기심 많은 군중은 내 질문에 아랑곳하지 않고 혼란스러운 상태로 여관을 향해 조급하게 달려가기만 하여 별다른 정보를 얻을 수 없었다.
