It happened in the ‘seventies in winter, on the day after St. Nicholas’s Day.

그것은 70년대 겨울, 성 니콜라스의 날 다음 날에 일어났습니다.

There was a fete in the parish and the innkeeper, Vasili Andreevich Brekhunov, a Second Guild merchant, being a church elder had to go to church, and had also to entertain his relatives and friends at home.

교구에 축제가 열렸는데 여관 주인인 바실리 안드레예비치 브레후노프는 제2 길드 상인이자 교회 장로였으므로 교회에 가야 했고 집에서 친척과 친구들을 접대해야 했습니다.

But when the last of them had gone he at once began to prepare to drive over to see a neighbouring proprietor about a grove which he had been bargaining over for a long time.

그러나 그들 중 마지막 사람이 떠나자 그는 곧바로 오랫동안 흥정해 온 과수원에 관하여 이웃 소유주를 만나러 말을 타고 갈 준비를 하기 시작했습니다.

He was now in a hurry to start, lest buyers from the town might forestall him in making a profitable purchase.

그는 마을의 구매자들이 자신보다 먼저 이득이 되는 물건을 사지 않도록 서둘러 출발하려고 했습니다.

The youthful landowner was asking ten thousand rubles for the grove simply because Vasili Andreevich was offering seven thousand.

젊은 지주는 바실리 안드레예비치가 7천 루블을 제시했기 때문에 과수원에 대해 1만 루블을 요구했습니다.

Seven thousand was, however, only a third of its real value.

그러나 칠천은 그 실제 가치의 삼분의 일에 불과했습니다.

Vasili Andreevich might perhaps have got it down to his own price, for the woods were in his district and he had a long-standing agreement with the other village dealers that no one should run up the price in another’s district, but he had now learnt that some timber-dealers from town meant to bid for the Goryachkin grove, and he resolved to go at once and get the matter settled.

바실리 안드레예비치는 아마도 자신이 원하는 가격으로 깎을 수 있었을 것입니다. 왜냐하면 그 숲은 그의 구역에 있었고, 그는 다른 마을 상인들과 다른 구역에서 가격을 올리지 않기로 오랫동안 합의했기 때문입니다. 그러나 그는 이제 도시의 몇몇 목재상들이 고랴치킨 숲에 입찰하려 한다는 것을 알게 되었고, 즉시 가서 문제를 해결하기로 결심했습니다.

So as soon as the feast was over, he took seven hundred rubles from his strong box, added to them two thousand three hundred rubles of church money he had in his keeping, so as to make up the sum to three thousand; carefully counted the notes, and having put them into his pocket-book made haste to start.

잔치가 끝나자마자 그는 금고에서 칠백 루블을 꺼내어 자신이 보관하고 있던 교회 돈 이천삼백 루블을 더하여 총 삼천 루블이 되도록 하고, 지폐를 꼼꼼히 세어 지갑에 넣은 후 서둘러 떠났습니다.
