One hears of people whose hair turned white in a single night.

하룻밤 사이에 머리카락이 하얗게 변한 사람들에 대한 이야기를 듣습니다.

Last night I thought mine was turning.

어젯밤에 내 것이 변하고 있다고 생각했어요.

I had a creepy feeling in the roots, which seemed to crawl all the way down inside each separate hair, wriggling as it went.

나는 뿌리에서 소름 끼치는 느낌을 받았는데, 그 뿌리가 마치 각각의 머리카락 속으로 기어들어가 꿈틀거리는 것 같았다.

I suppose you couldn't have nervous prostration of the hair?

머리카락이 신경쇠약해진 건 아니겠죠?

I worried dreadfully, it kept on so long; and my hair is so fair it would be almost a temptation for it, in an emergency, to take the one short step from gold to silver.

나는 몹시 걱정했습니다. 그 일이 너무 오래 지속되었고, 내 머리카락은 너무 희어서 위급한 상황에서 금색에서 은색으로 변해버릴 유혹에 빠질 것 같았습니다.

I didn't dare switch on the light in the wagon-lit and peep at my pocket-book mirror (which reflects one's features in sections of a square inch, giving the survey of one's whole face quite a panorama effect) for fear I might wake up the Bull Dog.

나는 불독을 깨울까 봐 두려워서 마차 불빛 아래서 불을 켜고 주머니 거울(얼굴을 정사각형으로 부분적으로 비춰주어 얼굴 전체를 파노라마처럼 볼 수 있게 해주는 거울)을 들여다보지 못했다.

I've spelt him with capitals, after mature deliberation, because it would be nothing less than lese majeste to fob him off with little letters about the size of his two lower eye-tusks, or chin-molars, or whatever one ought to call them.

나는 깊이 생각한 끝에 그의 이름을 대문자로 썼습니다. 왜냐하면 그의 아래 두 개의 어금니나 턱뼈, 혹은 무엇이라고 부르든 간에 그만한 크기의 작은 글자로 그를 속이는 것은 왕실 모독에 다름없기 때문입니다.

He was on the floor, you see, keeping guard over his mistress's shoes; and he might have been misguided enough to think I had designs on them--though what I could have used them for, unless I'd been going to Venice and wanting a private team of gondolas, I can't imagine.

그는 바닥에 앉아 여주인의 신발을 지키고 있었는데, 내가 그 신발에 무슨 생각을 품고 있다고 착각했을지도 모릅니다. 하지만 내가 베니스에 가서 개인 곤돌라 팀이 필요한 게 아니라면, 그 신발을 어디에 쓸 수 있었을지 상상도 할 수 없습니다.
