BILLY BYRNE was a product of the streets and alleys of Chicago's great West Side.

빌리 번은 시카고의 위대한 웨스트 사이드의 거리와 골목에서 태어났습니다.

From Halsted to Robey, and from Grand Avenue to Lake Street there was scarce a bartender whom Billy knew not by his first name.

할스테드에서 로비까지, 그리고 그랜드 애비뉴에서 레이크 스트리트까지 빌리가 이름을 모르는 바텐더는 거의 없었다.

And, in proportion to their number which was considerably less, he knew the patrolmen and plain clothes men equally as well, but not so pleasantly.

그리고 그들의 수가 훨씬 적었기 때문에 그는 순찰대원과 사복 경찰을 똑같이 잘 알고 있었지만, 그다지 좋게 알지는 못했습니다.

His kindergarten education had commenced in an alley back of a feed-store.

그의 유치원 교육은 사료 가게 뒤편 골목에서 시작되었다.

Here a gang of older boys and men were wont to congregate at such times as they had naught else to occupy their time, and as the bridewell was the only place in which they ever held a job for more than a day or two, they had considerable time to devote to congregating.

여기에는 나이가 많은 소년들과 남자들이 시간을 보낼 다른 일이 없을 때 모이곤 했습니다. 그리고 그들이 하루 이틀 이상 일을 할 수 있는 곳은 신부의 집터뿐이었기 때문에 그들은 모이는 데 상당한 시간을 할애했습니다.

They were pickpockets and second-story men, made and in the making, and all were muckers, ready to insult the first woman who passed, or pick a quarrel with any stranger who did not appear too burly.

그들은 소매치기와 2층 강도였으며, 이미 성공했거나 성공하려는 자들이었고, 모두 시비를 걸고 지나가는 첫 번째 여자를 모욕하거나, 덩치가 크지 않아 보이는 낯선 사람과 시비를 걸 준비가 되어 있는 자들이었습니다.

By night they plied their real vocations.

밤에는 그들이 본래의 직업을 수행했다.

By day they sat in the alley behind the feedstore and drank beer from a battered tin pail.

낮에는 사료 창고 뒤 골목에 앉아 낡은 양철 양동이에 맥주를 마셨다.
