If it had not rained on a certain May morning Valancy Stirling’s whole life would have been entirely different.

만약 5월의 어느 아침에 비가 오지 않았더라면 밸런시 스털링의 인생은 완전히 달라졌을 것이다.

She would have gone, with the rest of her clan, to Aunt Wellington’s engagement picnic and Dr. Trent would have gone to Montreal.

그녀는 나머지 친척들과 함께 웰링턴 이모의 약혼 소풍에 갔을 것이고 트렌트 박사는 몬트리올에 갔을 것이다.

But it did rain and you shall hear what happened to her because of it.

그러나 비가 내렸고 그 비로 인해 그녀에게 무슨 일이 일어났는지 너희가 듣게 될 것이다.

Valancy wakened early, in the lifeless, hopeless hour just preceding dawn.

발란시는 새벽이 오기 직전의 생기 없고 희망 없는 시간에 일찍 일어났습니다.

She had not slept very well.

그녀는 잠을 잘 자지 못했다.

One does not sleep well, sometimes, when one is twenty-nine on the morrow, and unmarried, in a community and connection where the unmarried are simply those who have failed to get a man.

내일이면 스물아홉 살이 되는데 미혼인 사람이, 미혼이라 함은 그저 남자를 얻지 못한 사람일 뿐인 공동체와 관계에 있다면, 때로는 잠을 잘 못 잘 수도 있다.

Deerwood and the Stirlings had long since relegated Valancy to hopeless old maidenhood.

디어우드와 스털링 가문은 오래전에 발란시를 희망 없는 노처녀 신세로 전락시켰다.

But Valancy herself had never quite relinquished a certain pitiful, shamed, little hope that Romance would come her way yet—never, until this wet, horrible morning, when she wakened to the fact that she was twenty-nine and unsought by any man.

그러나 발란시는 로맨스가 자신에게 찾아올지도 모른다는, 가련하고 부끄러운 작은 희망을 결코 완전히 버리지 못했습니다. 그러다 이 축축하고 끔찍한 아침에 눈을 뜨니, 그녀는 자신이 스물아홉 살인데도 아무 남자에게도 구애받지 못하고 있다는 사실을 깨달았습니다.
