East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North — Page 82
said the man, "as this is so, I'll give you a bit of advice.
남자가 말했습니다, "이렇게 된 이상, 제가 조언을 좀 드리겠습니다.
Hereabouts, on a moor, stand three brothers, and here they have stood these hundred years, fighting about a hat, a cloak, and a pair of boots.
이 근처 황야에 세 형제가 서 있는데, 그들은 모자 하나, 망토 하나, 그리고 장화 한 켤레를 놓고 싸우며 수백 년 동안 그 자리에 서 있었습니다.
If any one has these three things he can make himself invisible, and wish himself anywhere he pleases.
누구든 이 세 가지 물건을 가지면 자신을 투명하게 만들 수 있고, 원하는 어디든 갈 수 있습니다.
You can tell them you wish to try the things, and, after that, you'll pass judgment between them, whose they shall be."
당신은 그들에게 그 물건들을 시험해 보고 싶다고 말하고, 그런 다음 그것들이 누구의 것이 되어야 하는지 판결을 내리면 됩니다."
Yes! the King thanked the man, and went and did as he told him.
그리하여 왕은 남자에게 감사를 표하고, 그가 말한 대로 행동했습니다.
"What's all this?" he said to the brothers.
"이게 다 무슨 일입니까?" 그가 형제들에게 말했습니다.
"Why do you stand here fighting for ever and a day?
"왜 이렇게 끝도 없이 싸우고 있는 겁니까?
Just let me try these things, and I'll give judgment whose they shall be."
제가 이 물건들을 한번 써 보게만 해 주시면, 그것들이 누구의 것인지 판결을 내려 드리겠습니다."
They were very willing to do this; but, as soon as he had got the hat, cloak, and boots, he said:
그들은 기꺼이 그렇게 하려 했습니다. 하지만 그가 모자와 망토와 장화를 손에 넣자마자 그는 말했습니다:
"When we meet next time, I'll tell you my judgment," and with these words he wished himself away.
"다음에 만날 때 판결을 알려 드리겠습니다," 그리고 이 말과 함께 그는 자신이 사라지기를 바랐습니다.
So as he went along up in the air, he came up with the North wind.
그렇게 그가 공중을 날아가다가 북풍을 만났습니다.
"Whither away?" roared the North Wind.
"어디로 가는 것이오?" 북풍이 으르렁거렸습니다.
"To Whiteland," said the King; and then he told him all that had befallen him.
"화이트랜드로 갑니다," 왕이 말했습니다. 그리고 나서 그는 자신에게 일어났던 모든 일을 북풍에게 이야기했습니다.
"Ah," said the North Wind, "you go faster than I--you do; for you can go straight, while I have to puff and blow round every turn and corner.
"아," 북풍이 말했습니다, "당신이 나보다 빠르군요. 당신은 곧장 갈 수 있지만, 저는 모든 모퉁이와 굽이마다 돌아서 불어야 하니까요.
