Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 6

English → Korean Preface Level 5/10

she was up to her chin in salt water.

그녀는 턱까지 소금물에 잠겨 있었습니다.

Her first idea was that she had somehow fallen into the sea, "and in that case I can go back by railway," she said to herself.

그녀의 첫 번째 생각은 어쩌다 바다에 빠진 것 같다는 것이었고, "그렇다면 기차로 돌아갈 수 있겠지"라고 혼자 중얼거렸습니다.

(Alice had been to the seaside once in her life, and had come to the general conclusion, that wherever you go to on the English coast you find a number of bathing machines in the sea, some children digging in the sand with wooden spades, then a row of lodging houses, and behind them a railway station.)

(앨리스는 살면서 딱 한 번 바닷가에 가본 적이 있었는데, 영국 해안 어디를 가든 바다에 목욕용 수레가 여러 대 있고, 나무 삽으로 모래를 파는 아이들이 있고, 그 다음엔 하숙집들이 줄지어 있고, 그 뒤로는 기차역이 있다는 일반적인 결론을 내린 바 있었습니다.)

However, she soon made out that she was in the pool of tears which she had wept when she was nine feet high.

하지만 그녀는 곧 자신이 키가 9피트였을 때 흘린 눈물로 만들어진 웅덩이 안에 있다는 것을 알아챘습니다.

"I wish I hadn't cried so much!" said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out.

"이렇게 많이 울지 말걸!" 앨리스는 헤엄치며 빠져나갈 길을 찾으려 하면서 말했습니다.

"I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears!

"이제 내 눈물에 빠져 죽는 벌을 받게 되겠지!

That _will_ be a queer thing, to be sure!

그건 정말이지 참으로 이상한 일이 될 거야!

However, everything is queer to-day."

그나저나, 오늘은 모든 것이 다 이상하네."

Just then she heard something splashing about in the pool a little way off, and she swam nearer to make out what it was: at first she thought it must be a walrus or hippopotamus, but then she remembered how small she was now, and she soon made out that it was only a mouse that had slipped in like herself.

바로 그때 그녀는 웅덩이 저쪽에서 무언가가 철벅거리는 소리를 들었고, 그것이 무엇인지 알아보려고 가까이 헤엄쳐 갔습니다. 처음에는 바다코끼리나 하마일 것이라고 생각했지만, 지금 자신이 얼마나 작아졌는지를 떠올리고는, 곧 그것이 자신처럼 빠져 들어온 생쥐에 불과하다는 것을 알아챘습니다.

"Would it be of any use, now," thought Alice, "to speak to this mouse?

"지금 이 생쥐에게 말을 걸어봐야 소용이 있을까?" 앨리스는 생각했습니다.
