Peter Pan 015 – Chapter XV.“HOOK OR ME THIS TIME” – 014

Peter was a superb swordsman, and parried with dazzling rapidity; ever and anon he followed up a feint with a lunge that got past his foe’s defence, but his shorter reach stood him in ill stead, and he could not drive the steel home.
Hook, scarcely his inferior in brilliancy, but not quite so nimble in wrist play, forced him back by the weight of his onset, hoping suddenly to end all with a favourite thrust, taught him long ago by Barbecue at Rio; but to his astonishment he found this thrust turned aside again and again.
Then he sought to close and give the quietus with his iron hook, which all this time had been pawing the air; but Peter doubled under it and, lunging fiercely, pierced him in the ribs.
At the sight of his own blood, whose peculiar colour, you remember, was offensive to him, the sword fell from Hook’s hand, and he was at Peter’s mercy.

“Now!” cried all the boys, but with a magnificent gesture Peter invited his opponent to pick up his sword.
Hook did so instantly, but with a tragic feeling that Peter was showing good form.

Hitherto he had thought it was some fiend fighting him, but darker suspicions assailed him now.

“Pan, who and what art thou?” he cried huskily.

“I’m youth, I’m joy,” Peter answered at a venture, “I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg.”

This, of course, was nonsense; but it was proof to the unhappy Hook that Peter did not know in the least who or what he was, which is the very pinnacle of good form.

   피터는 뛰어난 검술사였고, 눈부신 속도로 방어했으며; 이따금씩 그는 속임수 후에 찌르기를 이어가며 상대의 방어를 뚫기도 했지만, 짧은 팔길이가 그에게 불리하게 작용하여 철을 채워 넣을 수 없었다.




⦁ swordsman: 검술사

   후크는 눈부심에서 거의 그에 뒤지지 않았으나, 손목 기술에서는 조금 뒤처졌고, 공격의 무게로 그를 밀어붙였다; 갑자기 모든 것을 끝내기를 바라며, 오래전에 리오에서 바베큐가 가르쳐준 좋아하는 찌르기를 시도했으나, 놀랍게도 그는 이 찌르기가 계속해서 빗나갔다.

3. Then he sought / to close / and give the quietus / with his iron hook, / which all this time / had been pawing / the air; / but Peter / doubled under it / and, / lunging fiercely, / pierced him / in the ribs.

   그는 철제 갈고리로 마무리 짓기 위해 접근하려 했으며, 그 동안 계속해서 공중을 휘젓고 있었다; 하지만 피터는 그것을 피하며, 격렬하게 찌르며 그의 갈비뼈를 관통했다.

4. At the sight / of his own blood, / whose peculiar colour, / you remember, / was offensive to him, / the sword / fell from Hook’s hand, / and he was / at Peter’s mercy.

   자신의 피를 보고, 그 특이한 색깔이 그에게는 혐오스러웠다는 것을 기억하며, 검이 후크의 손에서 떨어졌고, 그는 피터의 자비에 맡겨졌다.




⦁ offensive: 혐오스러운
– The smell was offensive to everyone. (냄새가 모두에게 혐오스러웠다.)

5. “Now!” / cried all the boys, / but with a magnificent gesture / Peter invited / his opponent / to pick up / his sword. / Hook / did so instantly, / but with a tragic feeling / that Peter / was showing / good form.

   “지금이야!” 모든 소년들이 외쳤으나, 장엄한 제스처로 피터는 상대에게 검을 집어 들라고 초대했다. 후크는 즉시 그렇게 했으나, 피터가 좋은 예절을 보이고 있다는 비극적인 느낌을 받았다.

7. “Pan, / who and / what art thou?” / he cried huskily.

8. “I’m youth, / I’m joy,” / Peter answered / at a venture, / “I’m a little bird / that has broken out / of the egg.”

지금까지 그는 자신과 싸우고 있는 게 어떤 악마라고 생각했지만, 이제 더 어두운 의심이 그를 괴롭혔다.

“팬, 너는 누구이며, 무엇이냐?” 그가 목이 쉰 듯이 외쳤다.

“나는 젊음이고, 나는 기쁨이다,” 피터가 우연히 대답했다, “나는 알에서 깨어난 작은 새다.”

9. This, / of course, / was nonsense; / but it was proof / to the unhappy Hook / that Peter / did not know / in the least / who or what / he was, / which is / the very pinnacle / of good form.

물론, 이 말은 터무니없는 것이었다; 그러나 불행한 후크에게는 피터가 자신이 누구나 무엇인지 전혀 모른다는 증거였고, 이는 최고의 격식이었다.




⦁ nonsense: 터무니없는
– The idea was complete nonsense. (그 생각은 완전히 터무니없었다.)
