THE consulting-rooms of Dr Orion Hood, the eminent criminologist and specialist in certain moral disorders, lay along the sea-front at Scarborough, in a series of very large and well-lighted french windows, which showed the North Sea like one endless outer wall of blue-green marble.

저명한 범죄학자이자 특정 도덕 장애 전문가인 오리온 후드 박사의 진료실은 스카버러 해안가를 따라 늘어선 매우 크고 밝은 프랑스식 창문으로 이루어져 있었는데, 그 창문을 통해 북해가 마치 끝없이 펼쳐진 청록색 대리석 외벽처럼 보였습니다.

In such a place the sea had something of the monotony of a blue-green dado: for the chambers themselves were ruled throughout by a terrible tidiness not unlike the terrible tidiness of the sea.

그러한 곳에서 바다는 청록색 벽감처럼 단조로웠습니다. 왜냐하면 방들 자체가 바다의 무시무시한 정돈됨과 유사한 무시무시한 정돈됨으로 가득 차 있었기 때문입니다.

It must not be supposed that Dr Hood’s apartments excluded luxury, or even poetry.

후드 박사의 아파트가 사치나 시를 배제했다고 생각해서는 안 됩니다.

These things were there, in their place; but one felt that they were never allowed out of their place.

이러한 것들은 제자리에 있었지만, 마치 제자리에서 벗어나지 못하게 된 것 같은 느낌이 들었습니다.

Luxury was there: there stood upon a special table eight or ten boxes of the best cigars; but they were built upon a plan so that the strongest were always nearest the wall and the mildest nearest the window.

거기에는 호화로움이 가득했습니다. 특별한 탁자 위에는 최고급 시가 여덟 개나 열 개 정도의 상자가 놓여 있었는데, 가장 강한 시가는 항상 벽에 가장 가깝게, 가장 순한 시가는 창문에 가장 가깝게 놓이도록 배치되어 있었습니다.

A tantalus containing three kinds of spirit, all of a liqueur excellence, stood always on this table of luxury; but the fanciful have asserted that the whisky, brandy, and rum seemed always to stand at the same level.

세 가지 종류의 술, 즉 모두 훌륭한 리큐어가 담긴 탄탈루스가 항상 이 호화로운 테이블 위에 놓여 있었습니다. 그러나 상상력이 풍부한 사람들은 위스키, 브랜디, 럼이 항상 같은 높이에 놓여 있는 것처럼 보였다고 주장했습니다.

Poetry was there: the left-hand corner of the room was lined with as complete a set of English classics as the right hand could show of English and foreign physiologists.

시가 거기에 있었다. 방 왼쪽 구석에는 영국 고전 작품들이 마치 오른쪽 구석에 있는 영국 및 외국 생리학자들의 책들처럼 완벽하게 진열되어 있었다.

But if one took a volume of Chaucer or Shelley from that rank, its absence irritated the mind like a gap in a man’s front teeth.

그러나 만약 누군가가 그 범주에서 초서나 셸리의 책 한 권을 가져가면, 그 부재는 마치 사람의 앞니 사이의 틈처럼 마음을 불편하게 했습니다.
