Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 119
You know, this plant has no blossom; but it is sweetness all over,--full of fragrance from head to foot, with the scent of a flower in every leaf.
알다시피, 이 식물에는 꽃이 없습니다. 하지만 온통 달콤함으로 가득하여 머리부터 발끝까지 향기롭고, 모든 잎에서 꽃향기가 납니다.
"I will take her," said the butterfly; and he made her an offer.
"저 아이를 데려가겠습니다"라고 나비가 말했습니다. 그리고 그는 그녀에게 청혼했습니다.
But the mint stood silent and stiff, as she listened to him.
하지만 박하는 그의 말을 들으면서 조용하고 꼿꼿하게 서 있었습니다.
At last she said,--
마침내 그녀가 말했습니다.
"Friendship, if you please; nothing more.
"우정이라면 좋겠어요. 그 이상은 안 됩니다.
I am old, and you are old, but we may live for each other just the same; as to marrying--no; don't let us appear ridiculous at our age."
나도 늙었고 당신도 늙었지만, 그래도 우리는 서로를 위해 살아갈 수 있어요. 결혼에 관해서는 안 됩니다. 이 나이에 우스꽝스럽게 보이는 일은 하지 맙시다."
And so it happened that the butterfly got no wife at all.
그리하여 나비는 결국 아내를 얻지 못하게 되었습니다.
He had been too long choosing, which is always a bad plan.
그는 너무 오랫동안 선택을 미루어 왔는데, 그것은 언제나 나쁜 방법입니다.
And the butterfly became what is called an old bachelor.
그리고 나비는 이른바 노총각이 되고 말았습니다.
It was late in the autumn, with rainy and cloudy weather.
때는 늦가을이었고, 날씨는 비가 내리고 흐렸습니다.
The cold wind blew over the bowed backs of the willows, so that they creaked again.
차가운 바람이 고개를 숙인 버드나무 등 위로 불어와 나무들이 삐걱거리는 소리를 냈습니다.
It was not the weather for flying about in summer clothes; but fortunately the butterfly was not out in it.
여름 옷차림으로 날아다닐 날씨가 아니었습니다. 하지만 다행히도 나비는 밖에 나가 있지 않았습니다.
He had got a shelter by chance.
그는 우연히 피신처를 찾게 되었습니다.
It was in a room heated by a stove, and as warm as summer.
그곳은 난로로 난방이 되는 방으로, 여름처럼 따뜻했습니다.
He could exist here, he said, well enough.
여기서라면 충분히 지낼 수 있다고 그는 말했습니다.
"But it is not enough merely to exist," said he, "I need freedom, sunshine, and a little flower for a companion."
"하지만 단순히 존재하는 것만으로는 충분하지 않아요"라고 그가 말했습니다. "나는 자유와 햇살, 그리고 동반자가 되어줄 작은 꽃 한 송이가 필요합니다."
