Aesop's Fables; a new translation — Page 99
As soon as he could speak the Wolf growled to himself,
말을 할 수 있게 되자마자 늑대는 혼자 으르렁거렸다,
"It serves me right: my father taught me to kill, and I ought to have stuck to that trade instead of attempting to cure."
"내가 자업자득이지: 아버지께서 내게 죽이는 법을 가르쳐 주셨는데, 치료를 시도하는 것 대신 그 일을 고수했어야 했어."
THE MONKEY AND THE CAMEL
원숭이와 낙타
At a gathering of all the beasts the Monkey gave an exhibition of dancing and entertained the company vastly.
모든 짐승들이 모인 자리에서 원숭이는 춤 공연을 펼쳐 모두를 크게 즐겁게 했다.
There was great applause at the finish, which excited the envy of the Camel and made him desire to win the favour of the assembly by the same means.
공연이 끝나자 큰 박수갈채가 쏟아졌고, 이것이 낙타의 시샘을 자극하여 같은 방법으로 무리의 호감을 얻고 싶게 만들었다.
So he got up from his place and began dancing, but he cut such a ridiculous figure as he plunged about, and made such a grotesque exhibition of his ungainly person, that the beasts all fell upon him with ridicule and drove him away.
그래서 낙타는 자리에서 일어나 춤을 추기 시작했지만, 이리저리 뛰어다니는 모습이 너무나 우스꽝스러웠고 볼품없는 몸으로 기괴한 꼴을 연출하는 바람에, 짐승들이 모두 그를 조롱하며 쫓아버렸다.
THE SICK MAN AND THE DOCTOR
병든 남자와 의사
A Sick Man received a visit from his Doctor, who asked him how he was.
병든 남자가 의사의 방문을 받았고, 의사는 그의 상태가 어떤지 물었다.
"Fairly well, Doctor," said he, "but I find I sweat a great deal."
"꽤 괜찮습니다, 선생님," 그가 말했다, "하지만 땀이 많이 나는 것 같습니다."
"Ah," said the Doctor, "that's a good sign."
"아," 의사가 말했다, "그건 좋은 징조입니다."
On his next visit he asked the same question, and his patient replied, "I'm much as usual, but I've taken to having shivering fits, which leave me cold all over."
다음 방문 때 의사는 같은 질문을 했고, 환자는 대답했다, "대체로 여전하지만, 온몸이 싸늘해지는 오한이 생겼습니다."
"Ah," said the Doctor, "that's a good sign too."
"아," 의사가 말했다, "그것도 좋은 징조입니다."
When he came the third time and inquired as before about his patient's health, the Sick Man said that he felt very feverish.
세 번째로 왔을 때 의사가 전과 같이 환자의 건강에 대해 묻자, 병든 남자는 몹시 열이 난다고 말했다.
