Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 8
And yet I wish I could show you our cat Dinah: I think you'd take a fancy to cats if you could only see her.
그래도 우리 고양이 다이나를 보여줄 수 있으면 좋겠어요. 그 아이를 한번만 볼 수 있다면 고양이가 마음에 들 거예요.
She is such a dear quiet thing," Alice went on, half to herself, as she swam lazily about in the pool, "and she sits purring so nicely by the fire, licking her paws and washing her face—and she is such a nice soft thing to nurse—and she's such a capital one for catching mice—oh, I beg your pardon!" cried Alice again, for this time the Mouse was bristling all over, and she felt certain it must be really offended.
그 아이는 정말 사랑스럽고 얌전한 아이거든요," 앨리스는 연못에서 느릿느릿 헤엄치며 반쯤 혼잣말로 계속했어요, "불 옆에 앉아서 아주 기분 좋게 그르릉거리면서 앞발을 핥고 얼굴을 씻는데—안고 있기에도 정말 부드럽고 좋은 아이예요—그리고 쥐를 잡는 데는 정말 최고예요—아, 죄송해요!" 앨리스가 다시 외쳤어요. 이번에는 생쥐가 온몸을 잔뜩 곤두세우고 있었고, 앨리스는 생쥐가 정말로 화가 났음이 틀림없다고 느꼈어요.
"We won't talk about her any more if you'd rather not."
"당신이 원하지 않는다면 그 아이에 대해 더 이상 이야기하지 않을게요."
"We indeed!" cried the Mouse, who was trembling down to the end of his tail.
"당연히 안 하겠죠!" 꼬리 끝까지 덜덜 떨고 있던 생쥐가 외쳤어요.
"As if _I_ would talk on such a subject! Our family always _hated_ cats: nasty, low, vulgar things! Don't let me hear the name again!"
"내가 그런 주제로 이야기할 것 같아요! 우리 가족은 항상 고양이를 혐오했어요. 더럽고, 천하고, 저속한 것들! 다시는 그 이름이 들리지 않게 해줘요!"
"I won't indeed!" said Alice, in a great hurry to change the subject of conversation.
"정말 그렇게 할게요!" 앨리스는 서둘러 대화의 주제를 바꾸려 하며 말했어요.
"Are you—are you fond—of—of dogs?" The Mouse did not answer, so Alice went on eagerly: "There is such a nice little dog near our house I should like to show you!
"당신은—혹시 개를—좋아하나요?" 생쥐가 대답하지 않자, 앨리스는 열심히 계속했어요. "우리 집 근처에 정말 귀여운 작은 개가 있는데 보여주고 싶어요!
A little bright-eyed terrier, you know, with oh, such long curly brown hair!
눈이 초롱초롱한 작은 테리어인데요, 아, 정말 길고 곱슬곱슬한 갈색 털을 가지고 있어요!
