"That'll be remembered against you when the old boy is found bathed in blood.

"그 노인이 피투성이가 된 채 발견되면 그 일은 너에게 불리하게 기억될 것이다."

Mary will give evidence, won't you, Mary?

마리아는 증언할 것이니, 마리아야, 그렇지 않겠느냐?

And describe how you brandished the carving knife in a vindictive manner."

그리고 당신이 어떻게 복수심에 불타 조각칼을 휘둘렀는지 묘사하십시오.

Mary, who is in service at the Vicarage as a stepping stone to better things and higher wages, merely said, in a loud businesslike voice, "Greens," and thrust a cracked dish at him in a truculent manner.

더 나은 일과 더 높은 임금을 얻기 위한 발판으로 목사관에서 봉사하는 마리아는 단지 큰 사무적인 목소리로 "채소"라고 말하고는 금이 간 접시를 그에게 거칠게 내밀었다.

My wife said in a sympathetic voice, "Has he been very trying?"

내 아내가 동정적인 목소리로 “그가 정말 많이 힘들게 했나요?”라고 물었다.

I did not reply at once, for Mary, setting the greens on the table with a bang, proceeded to thrust a dish of singularly moist and unpleasant dumplings under my nose.

내가 즉시 대답하지 못하자 마리아는 채소를 탁자에 쾅 내려놓고는 몹시 축축하고 맛없는 만두 한 접시를 내 코앞에 들이밀었다.

I said, "No, thank you," and she deposited the dish with a clatter on the table and left the room.

내가 “아니요, 괜찮습니다.”라고 말하자 그녀는 접시를 탁자 위에 쿵 소리를 내며 내려놓고 방을 나갔다.

"It is a pity that I am such a shocking housekeeper," said my wife with a tinge of genuine regret in her voice.

"제가 이렇게 형편없는 살림꾼이라니 정말 안타깝네요." 아내가 진심 어린 후회가 섞인 목소리로 말했다.
