Salva had never seen anything like the desert.

But here in the desert, nothing green could survive except tiny evergreen acacia bushes, which somehow endured the long winter months with almost no water.(52p)

*acacia[əˈkeɪʃə]아카시아

*somehow 왜 그런지 모르겠지만, 왠지, 어떻게든

Salva's shoes stood no chance against the hot stony desert ground. The soles, made from rubber tire treads, had already been reduced to shreds held together with a little leather and a great deal of hope. After a few minutes, Salva had to kick off the flapping shreds and continue barefoot.(52p)

*stand 참다, 견디다

*tread (타이어의) 접지면, (발을) 디디다, 밟다

Even breathing became an effort: Every breath Salva took seemed to drain strength rather than restore it.(52p)

Thorns gored his feet.

It was the hardest thing Salva had ever done, taking only tiny sips when his body cried out for huge gulps of thirst-quenching, life-giving water.(52,53p)

*gore[ɡɔː(r)] 찌르다, 받다, 옆구리를 들이받다, 피, 핏덩이

The worst moment of the day happened near the end.(53p)

Salva tried to bite his lip, but the awfulness of that never-ending day was too much for him.

He had to slow down, and for the first time on the long journey, he began to lag behind the group. Stumbling about blindly, he did not notice the group drawing farther and farther ahead of him.(53p)

*lag behind =fall behind 뒤(처)지다, …보다 뒤떨어지다, (발달이) 낙후되다
+)lag/run behind schedule 일정에 뒤처지다
+)lag behind in an embarrassment 당혹하여 꾸물거리다

Then he caught up with the group, determined not to lag behind, not to complain, not to be any trouble to anyone.(22p)

As if by magic, Uncle was suddenly at his side.

"Do you see that group of bushes?"

"You need only to walk as far as those bushes. Can you do that, Salva Mawien Dut Ariik?"(53p)

*as if by magic 신기하게도; 마법같이, 마치 마술이라도 부린 듯

*tamarind [ˈtæmərɪnd] 타마린드(콩과의 상록 교목)

Uncle continued in this way for the rest of the walk. Each time, he spoke to Salve using his full name. Each time, Salva would think of his family and his village, and he was somehow able to keep his wounded feet moving forward, one painful step at a time.(54p)

*at a time 한번에, 따로따로

+)One step at a time. 차근차근 해보자, 그렇게 조금씩

+)He jumped up the stairs, taking two steps at a time.
그는 한 번에 두 칸씩 계단을 뛰어 올라갔다

*somehow 왜 그런지 모르겠지만, 왠지, 어떻게든

The next day was a precise copy of the one before: the sun and the heat and, worst of all to Salva's mind, a landscape that was utterly unchanged. There was not a thing to indicate that the group was making any progress at all across the desert. Salva felt as if he had walked for hours while staying in exactly the same place.(54p)

The fierce heat sent up shimmering waves that made everything look wobbly.(55p)

Salva's group drew nearer.

*draw 끌다, 당기다; 끌기, 비김, 무승부, 제비

*draw nearer[closer] = come nearer[closer] 가까이 오다, 다가오다

결국 그룹의 일행이 쓰러지기 시작합니다.

"If you give them your water, you will not have enough for yourself!"

"It is useless - they will die, and you will die with them!"(56p)
