East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North — Page 18
YES, I KNOW WELL ENOUGH WHERE IT IS," said the North Wind; "once in my life I blew an aspen-leaf thither, but, I was so tired I couldn't blow a puff for ever so many days, after.
"네, 그곳이 어디 있는지 충분히 알고 있지요," 북풍이 말했습니다. "내 평생 딱 한 번 사시나무 잎사귀 하나를 그곳으로 날려 보낸 적이 있는데, 그 뒤로 며칠 동안은 너무 지쳐서 바람 한 줄기도 불 수 없었답니다.
But if you really wish to go thither, and aren't afraid to come along with me, I'll take you on my back and see if I can blow you thither."
하지만 정말로 그곳에 가고 싶고, 나와 함께 가는 것이 두렵지 않다면, 내 등에 태워서 그곳까지 날려 줄 수 있는지 한번 해보겠습니다."
Yes! with all her heart; she must and would get thither if it were possible in any way; and as for fear, however madly he went, she wouldn't be at all afraid.
네! 온 마음을 다해서라도, 어떻게든 가능하다면 반드시 그곳에 가야 했습니다. 두려움에 관해서라면, 아무리 미친 듯이 달려도 그녀는 전혀 두렵지 않을 것이었습니다.
"Very well, then," said the North Wind, "but you must sleep here to-night, for we must have the whole day before us, if we're to get thither at all."
"그렇다면 좋습니다," 북풍이 말했습니다. "하지만 오늘 밤은 여기서 자야 합니다. 그곳에 가려면 하루 종일이 필요하니까요."
Early next morning the North Wind woke her, and puffed himself up, and blew himself out, and made himself so stout and big, 'twas gruesome to look at him; and so off they went high up through the air, as if they would never stop till they got to the world's end.
이튿날 이른 아침, 북풍이 그녀를 깨우고는 몸을 잔뜩 부풀리고 바람을 내뿜어 몸집을 아주 크고 우람하게 만들었는데, 바라보기만 해도 소름이 끼칠 정도였습니다. 그렇게 그들은 세상의 끝에 닿을 때까지 멈추지 않을 것처럼 높이 공중으로 날아올랐습니다.
Down here below there was such a storm; it threw down long tracts of wood and many houses, and when it swept over the great sea, ships foundered by hundreds.
저 아래 세상에는 엄청난 폭풍이 몰아쳤습니다. 넓은 숲과 수많은 집들이 쓰러졌고, 거대한 바다를 휩쓸고 지나갈 때는 수백 척의 배가 침몰했습니다.
