Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 110
Thousands of people gazed at the balloon, and the old maid who was in the garden saw it also; for she stood at the open window of the garret, by which hung the cage containing the linnet, who then had no water-glass, but was obliged to be contented with an old cup.
수천 명의 사람들이 기구를 바라보았고, 정원에 있던 노처녀도 그것을 보았다. 그녀는 다락방의 열린 창가에 서 있었는데, 그 창가에는 홍방울새가 든 새장이 걸려 있었고, 새장에는 물그릇이 없어서 오래된 컵으로 대신할 수밖에 없었다.
In the window-sill stood a myrtle in a pot, and this had been pushed a little on one side, that it might not fall out; for the old maid was leaning out of the window, that she might see.
창턱에는 화분에 심긴 도금양이 놓여 있었는데, 그것이 떨어지지 않도록 조금 옆으로 밀려 있었다. 노처녀가 더 잘 보려고 창밖으로 몸을 내밀었기 때문이었다.
And she did see distinctly the aeronaut in the balloon, and how he let down the rabbit in the parachute, and then drank to the health of all the spectators in the wine from the bottle.
그녀는 기구 안의 비행사를 뚜렷이 볼 수 있었고, 그가 낙하산에 토끼를 매달아 내려보내는 것과, 그런 다음 병에 든 포도주로 모든 구경꾼들의 건강을 위해 건배하는 것도 보았다.
After doing this, he hurled it high into the air.
그런 다음 그는 병을 공중 높이 내던졌다.
How little she thought that this was the very same bottle which her friend had thrown aloft in her honor, on that happy day of rejoicing, in the green wood, in her youthful days.
그녀는 이 병이 바로 그 옛날 젊은 시절, 푸른 숲 속에서 기쁨으로 가득했던 행복한 날, 그녀의 친구가 그녀를 위해 하늘 높이 던졌던 바로 그 병이라는 것을 꿈에도 생각지 못했다.
The bottle had no time to think, when raised so suddenly; and before it was aware, it reached the highest point it had ever attained in its life.
병은 그토록 갑작스럽게 던져지는 바람에 생각할 겨를도 없었고, 정신을 차리기도 전에 살면서 도달한 것 중 가장 높은 지점에 이르렀다.
Steeples and roofs lay far, far beneath it, and the people looked as tiny as possible.
교회 첨탑과 지붕들이 아득히 저 아래에 펼쳐졌고, 사람들은 아주 작게 보였다.
Then it began to descend much more rapidly than the rabbit had done, made somersaults in the air, and felt itself quite young and unfettered, although it was half full of wine.
그러다가 병은 토끼보다 훨씬 빠른 속도로 내려오기 시작했고, 공중에서 공중제비를 넘으며, 포도주가 절반이나 차 있었음에도 불구하고 아주 젊고 자유로운 기분을 느꼈다.
