Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 6

English → Korean CHAPTER I. Level 5/10

There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind,

한순간도 지체할 수 없었습니다. 앨리스는 바람처럼 달려갔고,

and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, "Oh my ears

모퉁이를 돌 때 그것이 하는 말을 딱 맞춰 들을 수 있었습니다. "오, 내 귀와

and whiskers, how late it's getting!"

수염이여, 이렇게 늦어지다니!"

She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen:

앨리스가 모퉁이를 돌았을 때 그 바로 뒤를 따라가고 있었지만, 토끼는 더 이상 보이지 않았습니다.

she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.

앨리스는 천장에서 늘어진 램프들이 줄지어 밝히고 있는 길고 낮은 복도 안에 있었습니다.

There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked;

복도 사방에 문들이 있었지만, 모두 잠겨 있었습니다.

and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door,

앨리스가 한쪽을 따라 끝까지 갔다가 반대편을 돌아오며 모든 문을 다 열어보려 했지만,

she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.

어떻게 다시 빠져나갈 수 있을지 생각하며 슬프게 복도 한가운데를 걸었습니다.

Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass;

갑자기 앨리스는 통유리로 만들어진 작은 세 발 달린 탁자를 발견했습니다.

there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key,

탁자 위에는 작은 황금 열쇠 하나밖에 없었습니다.

and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall;

앨리스가 처음 든 생각은 그것이 복도의 문들 중 하나에 맞는 열쇠일지도 모른다는 것이었습니다.

but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small,

하지만, 아쉽게도! 자물쇠가 너무 크거나 열쇠가 너무 작았습니다.

but at any rate it would not open any of them.

어쨌든 어떤 문도 열 수가 없었습니다.

However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before,

그런데 두 번째로 돌아볼 때, 앨리스는 전에 눈치채지 못했던 낮은 커튼을 발견했습니다.

and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high:

그리고 그 뒤에는 약 십오 인치 높이의 작은 문이 있었습니다.

she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!

앨리스가 자물쇠에 작은 황금 열쇠를 꽂아보니, 너무나 기쁘게도 딱 맞았습니다!
