The Oldman and the Sea

1/1

He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.

그는 맥시코 만류에서 작은 배를 타고 홀로 낚시를 하는 노인으로, 고기를 낚지 못한 지 구십사일이 되었다.

In the first forty days a boy had been with him.

첫 사십일은 소년이 그와 함께 했었다.

But after forty days without a fish the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky,

그러나 고기를 낚지 못한채 사십일이 더 지난 후 소년의 부모는 노인이 이제 완전히 그리고 확실하게 최악의 불운함을 뜻하는 살라오 가 되었다고 했고,

and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week.

소년은 부모의 요구에 따라 첫 주에 세 마리의 큰 물고기를 낚은 다른 선박으로 떠나게 되었다.

It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each days with his skiff empty

이는 소년이 매일 빈 배를 타고 들어오는 노인을 바라보는 것을 슬프게 만들었다.

and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast.

그리고 소년은 언제나 내려가서 노인이 감겨진 줄 혹은 갈고리 그리고 작살옮기는 것과 돛대에 돛을 말아 올리는 것을 도왔다.

The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.

돛은 곡물 자루로 덧대어졌고, 말아 올리면 이는 마치 영원한 패배를 나타내는 깃발처럼 보였다.

The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of this neck.

노인은 야위고 목덜미의 깊은 주름으로 수척해보였다.

The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks.

열대양에 반사된 태양빛이 가져온 가벼운 피부암의 갈색 반점들이 그의 뺨 위에 있었다.

The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords.

반점들은 그의 얼굴 양측으로 심하게 내려와 번져 있었고 그의 손에는 밧줄의 큰 물고기를 다루면서 생긴 깊게 패인 흉터가 있었다.

But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.

그러나 이들 중 그 어느 것도 새로워 보이진 않았다. 이들은 고기 없는 사막의 풍화처럼 오래되었다.

Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.

그의 모든 것들은 오래되었지만 그의 눈 만큼은 예외로 그 눈은 바다색과 같았고 활기차고 불굴하였다.

"Santiago", the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the skiff was hauled up. "I could go with you again. We've made some money."

"산티아고", 배를 끌어올린 둑을 오르며 소년은 그에게 말했다. "다시 같이 갈 수 있어요. 우린 돈을 좀 모았어요."

The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him.

노인은 소년에게 낚시하는 방법을 가르쳤고, 소년은 노인을 좋았다.

"No," the old man said. "You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them."

"아니" 노인은 말했다. "너는 행운의 배를 타고 있어. 그들과 함께 하거라."

"But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks."

"하지만 저희가 삼 주간 매일 같이 큰 놈들을 잡아오는 동안 구십칠인 동안 한마리도 낚지 못하고 돌아오셨던걸 기억하시잖아요."

"I remember," he old man said. "I know you did not leave me because you doubted."

"알다마다" 노인은 말했다. "난 네가 나를 의심해서 떠나지 않았다는 사실을 알고 있단다."

"It was papa made me leave. I am a boy and I must obey him."

"저희 아버지 때문이죠. 저는 아직 어리고 그의 말을 따라야 해요."

"I know," the old man said. "It is quite normal."

"알고 있단다," 노인은 말했다. "그건 당연한 일이지."

"He hasn't much faith"

"그는 믿음이 부족해요."

sailing 관련 용어가 너무 많이 나와서 어려웠다. 특히 benevolent skin cancer 는 각 단어의 뜻을 찾아 보아도 이해가 안되서 고생을 했다. 위에는 최대한 원문으로 옮기려고 했는데 노인과 소년의 대화는 자연스럽게 읽힐 수 있게 옮겨 보았다.
