Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 188
They put on different scales two or three times a day, and they emit sounds which they call speaking.
그들은 하루에 두세 번 다른 비늘을 걸치고, 그들이 말하기라고 부르는 소리를 냅니다.
We don't put on scales, and we make ourselves understood in an easier way, simply by twitching the corners of our mouths and staring with our eyes.
우리는 비늘을 걸치지 않고, 그저 입꼬리를 씰룩거리고 눈을 응시하는 것만으로 더 쉽게 의사소통을 합니다.
We have a great many advantages over mankind."
우리는 인류에 비해 매우 많은 장점을 가지고 있습니다."
"But they have learned swimming of us," remarked a well-educated Codling.
"하지만 그들은 우리에게서 수영을 배웠잖아요," 교양 있는 대구 새끼가 말했습니다.
"You must know I come from the great sea outside.
"저는 바깥의 넓은 바다에서 왔답니다.
In the hot time of the year the people yonder go into the water; first they take off their scales, and then they swim.
일 년 중 더운 때가 되면 저쪽의 사람들은 물속으로 들어가는데, 먼저 그들의 비늘을 벗고 나서 수영을 합니다.
They have learnt from the frogs to kick out with their hind legs, and row with their fore paws.
그들은 개구리에게서 뒷다리로 발차기를 하고 앞발로 젓는 법을 배웠습니다.
But they cannot hold out long.
하지만 그들은 오래 버티지 못합니다.
They want to be like us, but they cannot come up to us.
그들은 우리처럼 되고 싶어 하지만, 우리를 따라올 수가 없습니다.
Poor people!"
불쌍한 사람들!"
And the fishes stared.
그리고 물고기들은 응시했습니다.
They thought that the whole swarm of people whom they had seen in the bright daylight were still moving around them; they were certain they still saw the same forms that had first caught their attention.
그들은 환한 대낮에 보았던 사람들의 무리가 아직도 자신들 주위를 돌아다니고 있다고 생각했습니다. 그들은 처음 자신들의 눈길을 끌었던 것과 같은 형체들을 여전히 보고 있다고 확신했습니다.
A pretty Barbel, with spotted skin, and an enviably round back, declared that the "human fry" were still there.
점박이 피부와 부러울 만큼 둥근 등을 가진 예쁜 바벨 한 마리가 "인간 치어"들이 아직도 거기 있다고 선언했습니다.
"I can see a well set-up human figure quite well," said the Barbel.
"저는 잘 갖춰진 인간의 형체를 아주 잘 볼 수 있어요," 바벨이 말했습니다.
"She was called 'contumacious lady,' or something of that kind.
"그녀는 '반항적인 여인'이라든가 그런 비슷한 이름으로 불렸어요.
