But the real question is whether he is a vet or a vivisector. Her bad language throws no light on it one way or the other.
- Vivisector: 생체 해부자
- Whether 명사절
Whether there was anything but imagination in the faith, or anything but egoism in the love, God knows. I don’t.
What sort of a lover am I to think so much about my affliction and so much less about hers? […] I never even raised the question whether such a return, if it were possible, would be good for her.
- 가정법 과거 구문이 삽입되어 있음.
They call Stephen the first martyr. Hadn’t Lazarus the rawer deal?
- Lazarus가 더 날것의, 즉 더 거친, 더 힘든 deal을 가졌던 것이 아닌가?(스테판 집사보다 나사로의 시련이 더 힘들었던 것 아닌가?)
My love for H. was of much the same quality as my faith in God.
- Of: ‘my love for H’와 ‘my faith in God’을 비교 대상으로 명료히하는 전치사.
But neither was the thing I thought it was. A good deal of card-castle about both.
What does it matter how this grief of mine evolves or what I do with it?
- 무슨 상관인가 / 어떻게 내 슬픔이 진화해 가는지, 혹은 내가 이걸 가지고 무엇을 하는지가.
What does it matter how I remember her or whether I remember her at all?
- 내가 그녀를 어떻게 기억하는지, 내가 그녀를 기억하든지 말든지, 그게 무슨 소용인가?(무슨 상관인가?)
None of these alternatives will either ease or aggravate her past anguish.
