English → Korean Full Text Level 6/10

Then the first--she is the eldest--will call out and beg you so prettily to come and help her; and the second will do the same; to neither of these shall you go; make haste past them, as if you neither saw nor heard anything.

그러면 첫 번째--그녀가 맏이인데--가 소리쳐 당신에게 와서 도와달라고 아주 예쁘게 애원할 것이고, 두 번째도 마찬가지로 그럴 것입니다. 이 둘 중 어느 쪽에도 가지 마십시오. 마치 아무것도 보지도 듣지도 못한 것처럼 서둘러 그들 곁을 지나치십시오.

But the third you shall go to, and do what she asks.

하지만 세 번째에게는 가야 하며, 그녀가 부탁하는 것을 해주십시오.

If you do this, you'll have good luck--that's all."

이렇게 하면 행운이 따를 것입니다--그게 전부입니다."

When the lad came to the first _Princess_, she called out to him, and begged him so prettily to come to her, but he passed on as though he saw her not.

소년이 첫 번째 공주에게 이르렀을 때, 그녀는 그에게 소리치며 매우 예쁘게 와달라고 애원했지만, 그는 그녀를 보지 못한 것처럼 지나쳤습니다.

In the same way he passed by the second; but to the third he went straight up.

같은 방식으로 그는 두 번째도 지나쳤습니다. 하지만 세 번째에게는 곧장 다가갔습니다.

"If you'll do what I bid you," she said, "you may have which of us you please."

"당신이 내가 시키는 대로 한다면," 그녀가 말했습니다, "우리 중 마음에 드는 누구와도 함께할 수 있습니다."

"Yes;" he was willing enough; so she told him how three _Trolls_ had set them down in the earth there; but before they had lived in the castle up among the trees.

"네," 그는 기꺼이 그러겠다고 했습니다. 그러자 그녀는 세 명의 트롤이 어떻게 그들을 그곳 땅속에 가두었는지 이야기해 주었습니다. 하지만 그 전에 그들은 나무들 사이 위쪽의 성에 살고 있었습니다.

"Now," she said, "you must go into that castle, and let the _Trolls_ whip you each one night for each of us.

"이제," 그녀가 말했습니다, "당신은 저 성 안으로 들어가서, 우리 각각을 위해 하룻밤씩 트롤들에게 채찍질을 당해야 합니다.

If you can bear that, you'll set us free."

그것을 견딜 수 있다면, 우리를 자유롭게 해줄 수 있을 것입니다."

Well, the lad said he was ready to try.

그래서 소년은 한번 해보겠다고 말했습니다.

"When you go in," the _Princess_ went on to say, "you'll see two lions standing at the gate; but if you'll only go right in the middle between them they'll do you no harm.

"안으로 들어가면," 공주가 계속해서 말했습니다, "문 앞에 두 마리의 사자가 서 있는 것을 보게 될 것입니다. 하지만 그 가운데로 곧장 지나가기만 하면 그들은 당신을 해치지 않을 것입니다.
