Short Stories - 헤밍웨이의 “병사의 고향(Soldier’s Home)”

영문 단편 소설을 만나보는 Short Stories 시간입니다. 오늘부터 새로 읽어볼 작품은 역시 헤밍웨이의 “병사의 고향(Soldier’s Home)”입니다. 전쟁에 참전했다 살아 돌아온 주인공 크레브스와 그런 그의 전후 후유증을 이해하지 못하는 부모님의 이야기를 담은 소설이죠. 그럼 우리말로 쓰인 부분이 원문에서는 어떻게 쓰였는지 추론해보면서 함께 읽어볼까요?     Krebs went to the war from a Methodist college in Kansas. There is a picture which shows him among his fraternity brothers, all of them wearing exactly the same height and style collar. He 입대했다 in the Marines in 1917 and did not return to the United States until the second division returned from the Rhine in the summer of 1919. There is a picture which shows him on the Rhone with two German girls and another corporal. Krebs and the corporal look too big for their uniforms. The German girls are not beautiful. The Rhine does not show in the picture. By the time Krebs returned to his home town in Oklahoma the greeting of heroes was over. He came back much too late. The men from the town who 차출되었던 had all been welcomed elaborately on their return. There had been a great deal of hysteria. Now the reaction had set in. People ~하는 것 같았다 to think it was rather ridiculous for Krebs to be getting back so late, years after the war was over.
