Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 108
It stood in a distant walk certainly, but a place pleasant for contemplation; and it carried a light; and was at once useful and ornamental.
그것은 분명히 먼 산책로에 서 있었지만, 명상하기에 즐거운 장소였고, 빛을 발하고 있었으며, 동시에 유용하고 장식적이었다.
In such an hour it is easy to forget that one has spent twenty years in a loft, and a good thing it is to be able to do so.
그런 시간에는 다락방에서 이십 년을 보냈다는 사실을 잊기 쉬우며, 그렇게 할 수 있다는 것은 좋은 일이다.
Close before the bottle passed a single pair, like the bridal pair--the mate and the furrier's daughter--who had so long ago wandered in the wood.
병 바로 앞으로 한 쌍이 지나갔는데, 마치 신혼 부부처럼—오래전 숲속을 거닐었던 그 선원과 모피상의 딸처럼—보였다.
It seemed to the bottle as if he were living that time over again.
병에게는 마치 그 시간을 다시 살고 있는 것처럼 느껴졌다.
Not only the guests but other people were walking in the garden, who were allowed to witness the splendor and the festivities.
손님들뿐만 아니라 다른 사람들도 정원을 거닐고 있었는데, 그들은 화려함과 축제를 지켜볼 수 있도록 허락받은 이들이었다.
Among the latter came an old maid, who seemed to be quite alone in the world.
후자 중에는 세상에 완전히 혼자인 것처럼 보이는 한 늙은 노처녀가 있었다.
She was thinking, like the bottle, of the green wood, and of a young betrothed pair, who were closely connected with herself; she was thinking of that hour, the happiest of her life, in which she had taken part, when she had herself been one of that betrothed pair; such hours are never to be forgotten, let a maiden be as old as she may.
그녀는 병처럼 푸른 숲과, 자신과 깊이 연관된 젊은 약혼 한 쌍을 생각하고 있었고, 자신이 그 약혼 한 쌍 중 하나였던, 인생에서 가장 행복했던 그 시간을 생각하고 있었다. 그런 시간은 아무리 나이 든 처녀라도 결코 잊을 수 없는 것이다.
But she did not recognize the bottle, neither did the bottle notice the old maid.
하지만 그녀는 병을 알아보지 못했고, 병도 그 늙은 노처녀를 알아채지 못했다.
And so we often pass each other in the world when we meet, as did these two, even while together in the same town.
그리하여 우리는 이 두 사람처럼, 같은 마을에 함께 있으면서도, 세상에서 서로 만날 때 종종 그냥 스쳐 지나치곤 한다.
