Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 4

English → Korean Preface Level 5/10

London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, and Rome—no, _that's_ all wrong, I'm certain!

런던은 파리의 수도이고, 파리는 로마의 수도이고, 로마는—아니, 그건 완전히 틀렸어, 분명해!

I must have been changed for Mabel!

나는 메이블로 바뀐 게 틀림없어!

I'll try and say '_How doth the little_—'" and she crossed her hands on her lap as if she were saying lessons, and began to repeat it, but her voice sounded hoarse and strange, and the words did not come the same as they used to do:—

'작은 것은 어떻게—'를 말해봐야지'" 하고 그녀는 마치 수업 시간에 암송하듯 무릎 위에 손을 모으고 반복하기 시작했지만, 목소리는 쉬고 이상하게 들렸으며 가사도 예전과 같지 않았다:—

"How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale!

"작은 악어는 어떻게 반짝이는 꼬리를 다듬고, 나일 강의 물을 황금빛 비늘 위에 붓는가!

"How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spread his claws, And welcome little fishes in With gently smiling jaws!"

"얼마나 즐겁게 씩 웃는지, 얼마나 단정하게 발톱을 펼치는지, 그리고 살며시 미소 짓는 턱으로 작은 물고기들을 반기는지!"

"I'm sure those are not the right words," said poor Alice, and her eyes filled with tears again as she went on,

"분명히 그건 올바른 가사가 아니야," 불쌍한 앨리스가 말했고, 계속하면서 다시 눈물이 가득 고였다,

"I must be Mabel after all, and I shall have to go and live in that poky little house, and have next to no toys to play with, and oh! ever so many lessons to learn!

"결국 나는 메이블인 게 틀림없어, 그리고 저 답답한 작은 집에 가서 살아야 하고, 가지고 놀 장난감도 거의 없고, 오! 배워야 할 수업도 너무 많고!

No, I've made up my mind about it; if I'm Mabel, I'll stay down here!

아니, 마음을 정했어; 내가 메이블이라면, 여기 아래에 있을 거야!

It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying 'Come up again, dear!'

그들이 머리를 숙이고 '다시 올라와, 얘야!'라고 말해봤자 소용없어!

I shall only look up and say 'Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I'll come up: if not, I'll stay down here till I'm somebody else'—but, oh dear!

나는 그냥 올려다보며 '그럼 나는 누구야? 먼저 그걸 말해줘, 그리고 그 사람이 되는 게 마음에 들면 올라갈게: 아니라면, 다른 누군가가 될 때까지 여기 있을 거야'—하지만, 맙소사!
