They comprised some elephant tusks and an imperfect set of chessmen, beads and weapons, a box of eyes, two skulls of tigers and one human, several moth-eaten stuffed monkeys (one holding a lamp), an old-fashioned cabinet, a flyblown ostrich egg or so, some fishing-tackle, and an extraordinarily dirty, empty glass fish-tank.
그것들은 코끼리 상아 몇 개와 불완전한 체스말 세트, 구슬과 무기, 눈알 상자, 호랑이 두개골 두 개와 사람 두개골 한 개, 좀먹은 박제 원숭이 여러 마리(그중 하나는 램프를 들고 있음), 구식 캐비닛, 파리가 들끓는 타조 알 몇 개, 낚시 도구 몇 개, 그리고 매우 더럽고 텅 빈 유리 어항으로 이루어져 있었습니다.
There was also, at the moment the story begins, a mass of crystal, worked into the shape of an egg and brilliantly polished.
이야기가 시작될 때, 달걀 모양으로 다듬어져 윤이 나게 연마된 수정 덩어리도 있었습니다.
And at that two people, who stood outside the window, were looking, one of them a tall, thin clergyman, the other a black-bearded young man of dusky complexion and unobtrusive costume.
그때 창밖에 서 있던 두 사람이 보고 있었는데, 한 사람은 키가 크고 마른 성직자였고, 다른 한 사람은 검은 수염을 기르고 안색이 어둡고 수수한 옷차림을 한 젊은이였습니다.

While they were there, Mr. Cave came into his shop, his beard still wagging with the bread and butter of his tea.
그들이 거기에 있는 동안 케이브 씨가 자기 가게로 들어왔는데, 그의 수염에는 차에 든 빵과 버터가 여전히 묻어 있었다.
When he saw these men and the object of their regard, his countenance fell.
그가 이 사람들과 그들이 바라보는 대상을 보자 그의 얼굴이 어두워졌다.
He glanced guiltily over his shoulder, and softly shut the door.
그는 죄책감에 찬 눈으로 어깨 너머를 흘끗 보고는 조용히 문을 닫았다.
He was a little old man, with pale face and peculiar watery blue eyes; his hair was a dirty grey, and he wore a shabby blue frock coat, an ancient silk hat, and carpet slippers very much down at heel.
그는 얼굴이 창백하고 특이하게 물기 어린 푸른 눈을 가진 작고 늙은 남자였는데, 그의 머리카락은 더러운 회색이었고, 그는 낡은 파란색 연미복과 오래된 비단 모자, 그리고 굽이 매우 닳은 카펫 슬리퍼를 신고 있었습니다.
