Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 154
the servant of one of the robbers secretly approached her;
강도 중 한 명의 하인이 몰래 그녀에게 다가왔다;
they must not see it, otherwise they would have killed him.
그들이 그것을 보아서는 안 되었는데, 그렇지 않으면 그를 죽였을 것이었다.
"Mrs. Meta Mogen," said the fellow, "do you still remember how my father, when your husband was still alive, had to ride on the wooden horse?
"메타 모겐 부인," 그 사내가 말했다, "당신 남편이 아직 살아 있을 때 제 아버지가 목마를 타야 했던 일을 아직 기억하십니까?
You prayed for him, but it was no good, he was to ride until his limbs were paralysed;
당신은 그를 위해 기도했지만 소용이 없었고, 그는 팔다리가 마비될 때까지 타야 했습니다;
but you stole down to him, as I steal now to you, you yourself put little stones under each of his feet that he might have support, nobody saw it, or they pretended not to see it, for you were then the young gracious mistress.
하지만 당신은 내가 지금 당신에게 몰래 다가오듯 그에게 몰래 다가가서, 그가 버팀목을 가질 수 있도록 그의 발 각각 아래에 작은 돌들을 직접 놓아 주었습니다, 아무도 그것을 보지 못했거나, 아니면 그들이 못 본 척했는데, 당신이 그 당시에는 젊고 인자한 여주인이었기 때문입니다.
My father has told me this, and I have not forgotten it!
제 아버지가 이것을 제게 말씀해 주셨고, 저는 그것을 잊지 않았습니다!
Now I will free you, Mrs. Meta Mogen!"
이제 제가 당신을 풀어 드리겠습니다, 메타 모겐 부인!"
Then they pulled the horses out of the stable and rode off in rain and wind to obtain the assistance of friends.
그러자 그들은 마굿간에서 말들을 끌어내어 비와 바람을 헤치고 친구들의 도움을 얻기 위해 달려갔다.
"Thus the small service done to the old man was richly rewarded!" said Meta Mogen.
"이렇게 노인에게 베푼 작은 친절이 풍성하게 보답받았습니다!" 메타 모겐이 말했다.
"Delaying is not forgetting," said the fellow.
"미루는 것이 잊는 것은 아닙니다," 그 사내가 말했다.
The robbers were hanged.
강도들은 교수형에 처해졌다.
There was an old mansion, it is still there; it did not belong to Mrs. Meta Mogen, it belonged to another old noble family.
오래된 저택이 있었는데, 그것은 지금도 그곳에 있다; 그것은 메타 모겐 부인의 것이 아니라, 다른 오래된 귀족 가문의 것이었다.
We are now in the present time.
우리는 지금 현재의 시간 속에 있다.
The sun is shining on the gilt knob of the tower, little wooded islands lie like bouquets on the water, and wild swans are swimming round them.
태양이 탑의 금빛 꼭대기 장식 위에 빛나고, 작은 나무 섬들이 물 위에 꽃다발처럼 놓여 있으며, 야생 백조들이 그 주위를 헤엄치고 있다.
