They filled the bottle with seeds, though it scarcely knew what had been placed in it.

그들은 병 안에 씨앗을 가득 채웠지만, 병은 그 안에 무엇이 담겼는지 거의 알지 못했다.

Then they corked it down tightly, and carefully wrapped it up.

그런 다음 그들은 병을 단단히 마개로 막고, 조심스럽게 포장했다.

There not even the light of a torch or lantern could reach it, much less the brightness of the sun or moon.

횃불이나 등불의 빛조차 병에 닿을 수 없었으니, 태양이나 달의 밝은 빛은 더더욱 말할 것도 없었다.

However, it did something quite as important; it travelled to the place of its destination, and was unpacked.

하지만 병은 그에 못지않게 중요한 일을 했다. 병은 목적지까지 여행하여, 포장이 풀렸다.

But the bottle was not broken, and, better still, it understood every word that was said: this language it had heard at the furnaces and at the wine merchant's; in the forest and on the ship,--it was the only good old language it could understand.

하지만 병은 깨지지 않았고, 더욱 좋은 것은 하는 말 한 마디 한 마디를 모두 알아들었다는 것이다. 이 언어는 용광로에서, 포도주 상인의 가게에서, 숲 속에서, 그리고 배 위에서 들었던 언어로, 병이 이해할 수 있는 유일한 친숙한 언어였다.

It had returned home, and the language was as a welcome greeting.

병은 고향으로 돌아왔고, 그 언어는 마치 반가운 인사말과도 같았다.

For very joy, it felt ready to jump out of people's hands, and scarcely noticed that its cork had been drawn, and its contents emptied out, till it found itself carried to a cellar, to be left there and forgotten.

너무나 기쁜 나머지 병은 사람들의 손에서 튀어나올 것만 같았고, 마개가 뽑히고 내용물이 비워진 것도 거의 알아채지 못한 채, 어느새 지하실로 옮겨져 그곳에 방치되고 잊혀졌다.

It never occurred to him to think that he might lie there for years, he felt so comfortable.

그토록 편안함을 느꼈기에, 병은 그곳에서 몇 년이고 누워 있을지도 모른다는 생각은 전혀 떠오르지 않았다.
