드라큘라 - 2

  He was pleased about the church. "Ah," he said, "so I shall be near the dead."

  We talked for a long time and once I fell asleep. I woke up suddenly and found the Count's face near me. The smell which came from him was terrible. It was the smell of death.

  "You're tired," the Count said. "Go to bed now." And when he smiled, his face was the face of a wolf.

 

  Our business was now finished. The Count had all the papers for his new house, and there was nothing to keep me in Transylvania or in Castle Dracula, but the Count did not want me to leave.

 

드라큘라 백작의 본 모습이 서서히 드러나고 있습니다. <반 헬싱>이란 영화에서 본 장면을 떠올려보면 좋은 번역문이 나오지 않을까요? 실감나는 글이란, 직접 체험한 글이랍니다.

 

암튼, 문법을 하나 짚고 갑시다. <the + 형용사>는 <복수 보통명사>입니다. 예컨대 <the old = old people, the sick = sick people, the young = young people>로 <노인들, 환자들, 젊은이들>이죠.

5형식 문장도 눈여겨 둘 부분입니다. <want A + to -Inf>의 형식으로 <주술 + 주술>의 형태죠. <주어는 원한다, A가 to-부정사하기를>처럼 해석하면 직독직해를 할 수 있답니다. 물론 그렇게 이해는 하고 글은 완성된 글로 써야한다는 점 아시죠!!!
