From the text
“The 4.15 from Victoria to Lewes had been held up at Three Bridges in consequence of a derailment and, though John Lexman was fortunate enough to catch a belated connection to Beston Tracey, the wagonette which was the sole communication between the village and the outside world had gone.”

The 4.15 from Victoria to Lewes had been held up at Three Bridges in consequence of a derailment and, though John Lexman was fortunate enough to catch a belated connection to Beston Tracey, the wagonette which was the sole communication between the village and the outside world had gone.
빅토리아에서 루이스로 가는 4시 15분 열차는 탈선으로 인해 쓰리 브리지에서 지연되었고, 존 렉스먼은 운 좋게도 베스턴 트레이시로 가는 늦은 연결편을 타게 되었지만, 마을과 외부 세계를 연결하는 유일한 수단이었던 마차는 이미 떠나버렸습니다.
“If you can wait half an hour, Mr. Lexman,” said the station-master, “I will telephone up to the village and get Briggs to come down for you.”
“렉스만 씨, 30분만 기다려 주시면 제가 마을에 전화해서 브리그스 씨를 불러오겠습니다.”라고 역장이 말했다.
John Lexman looked out upon the dripping landscape and shrugged his shoulders.
존 렉스먼은 빗물이 떨어지는 풍경을 바라보며 어깨를 으쓱했습니다.
“I'll walk,” he said shortly and, leaving his bag in the station-master's care and buttoning his mackintosh to his chin, he stepped forth resolutely into the rain to negotiate the two miles which separated the tiny railway station from Little Tracey.
“걸어가겠습니다.” 그는 짧게 말하고는 가방을 역장에게 맡기고 코트 단추를 턱까지 채운 후, 작은 기차역과 리틀 트레이시를 연결하는 2마일 거리를 가기 위해 단호하게 비 속으로 발을 내디뎠다.
The downpour was incessant and likely to last through the night.
폭우는 끊임없이 내렸고 밤새도록 계속될 것 같았다.
The high hedges on either side of the narrow road were so many leafy cascades; the road itself was in places ankle deep in mud.
좁은 길 양쪽의 높은 울타리는 잎이 무성한 폭포와 같았고, 길 자체는 곳곳에 발목까지 진흙이 차 있었다.
He stopped under the protecting cover of a big tree to fill and light his pipe and with its bowl turned downwards continued his walk.
그는 큰 나무 그늘 아래에서 멈춰 서서 파이프에 담배를 채우고 불을 붙인 다음 파이프의 몸통을 아래로 향하게 하여 계속 걸어갔다.
But for the driving rain which searched every crevice and found every chink in his waterproof armor, he preferred, indeed welcomed, the walk.
그러나 그의 방수 갑옷의 모든 틈새와 구멍을 샅샅이 뒤지는 폭우 때문에 그는 걷는 것을 더 좋아했고, 오히려 환영했습니다.
