Hello all, now to continue the tale of an ugly night.
(안녕하십니까, 여러분, 그 바보짓 했던 밤 얘길 계속하겠습니다.)
By the way, I am fine physically and mentally. I didn't mean to stop the story and make everyone worry about my well-being, but right at that point of the story, I was summoned up to court.
(근데, 전 심신이 모두 무사합니다. 하던 얘기 중간에 멈춰서 제 안부에 대한 걱정 끼쳐 드릴 생각은 아니었는데, 얘길 멈췄던 바로 그 부분에서 법정으로 오라는 소환을 받았더랬습니다.)
I hit a bump on the ROAD which caused my sitting balance to shift quickly. My upper body fell forward and I could not stop it from falling. My upper body ended up on my lap. I did not fall out of my chair but my upper body was flat on my lap. I could not sit up by myself. I was going down a relatively big street but there were no pedestrians only vehicular traffic. I tried my best to raise my upper body but I was stuck. I looked around for some people but I could not see any. I was feeling very uncomfortable and started to have difficulty breathing.
(그렇게 길에서 부딪쳤는데 순간 균형을 잃었습니다. 제 상체가 앞쪽으로 넘어가는데, 안 넘어지도록 제동을 걸 수가 없더군요. 제 상체는 무릎위로 넘어져 버렸습니다. 제가 휠체어에서 떨어져나가진 않았지만, 상체가 양 무릎 위로 납작 넘어져버렸습니다. 혼자서는 몸을 일으켜 앉을 수가 없었습니다. 상당히 큰길을 내려가고 있었는데 행인은 없었고 차량들 밖에 없었습니다. 상체를 일으켜 보려고 최선을 다해 봤지만, 꼼짝없이 그러고 있어야 했습니다. 사람들이 있나 주위를 둘러보았지만 아무도 보이지 않았구요. 전 너무 불편해서 숨쉬기가 힘들어졌습니다.)
A few minutes went by when a couple in a car stopped and pulled over on the street next to where I was. I was very glad to see them. A man was driving and a woman was in the front passenger seat. The woman rolled her window down and both of them looked my way. I looked at them and said, "Help!." They looked at each other, looked back at me, and started laughing. I could not believe my eyes. They were laughing. I started getting really uncomfortable and even vomited a little bit. Yet, they just kept laughing. I kept yelling for help as loud as I could, but my voice was getting weaker and weaker.
(그렇게 몇 분이 지나고 두 사람이 탄 차가 멈추더니 제 옆에 차를 대었습니다. 전 그들이 너무 반가웠습니다. 남자가 운전하고 있었고 여자는 그 옆자리에 타고 있었습니다. 그 여자가 차창을 내렸고, 두 사람 모두 제가 있는 쪽을 바라보았습니다. 전 그들을 보고 도와달라고 했습니다. 그들은 서로 마주 보더니, 다시 절 쳐다보더니, 웃기 시작했습니다. 전 제 눈을 의심했죠. 그들이 웃고 있다니요! 전 이제 몸이 너무 불편해져서 약간 토하기까지 했습니다. 여전히, 그들은 웃고 있었구요. 도와달라고 있는 힘을 다해 계속 소리쳤지만, 제 목소리는 점점 작아질 뿐이었습니다.)
Luckily, a another man came down the sidewalk and help me up. I was happy to be sitting up but was still so angry that I did not even thank the man who help me up. Instead, I sped straight for the car where that evil couple was sitting. I was going to ram into their car as hard as I could. Right when I got close, the car peeled off down the street. They fled, those cowards. I could not see the license plate number either.
(다행히, 또 다른 남자 한 분이 보도에서 내려와서, 일어나 앉도록 도와주었습니다. 전 바로 앉아 있다는 게 너무 기뻤습니다만, 아직 너무 화가나 있어서 절 도와주신 분께 감사하다는 말조차 못하고 있었습니다. 대신, 그 사악한 남녀가 앉아있던 차를 향해 곧장 다가갔습니다. 그 차를 힘껏 들이받아 버릴려구요. 제가 가까이 가자 차를 황급히 빼서 길을 따라 도망가버렸습니다, 비겁한 자들 이라니. 차 넘버도 보질 못했습니다.)
I went home and I was sick all weekend. I did not realize it that night, but the beer I was drinking was spoiled. That was why I got so drunk and stupid.
(집에 가서 그 주말 내내 아팠습니다. 그 날 밤엔 몰랐는데, 제가 마신 맥주가 상한 것이었습니다. 그 때문에 제가 그렇게도 많이 취했고 바보같이 행동했던 거였어요.)
Please do not lecture me about how I should be more careful. I already know. I'm just telling a story to a few of my friends.
(부디 저 더러 더 많이 조심해야한다고 설교하진 마세요. 저 이미 알고 있으니. 전 그냥 제 친구 몇 분께 이야기 하나를 들려주는 것 뿐입니다.)
