Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 223
The great city where he resided was very gay; every day many strangers from all parts of the globe arrived.
그가 살고 있던 대도시는 매우 활기찼으며, 매일 세계 각지에서 많은 낯선 사람들이 도착했습니다.
One day two swindlers came to this city; they made people believe that they were weavers, and declared they could manufacture the finest cloth to be imagined.
어느 날 두 명의 사기꾼이 이 도시에 왔습니다. 그들은 사람들에게 자신들이 직조공이라고 믿게 만들었으며, 상상할 수 있는 가장 훌륭한 천을 만들 수 있다고 선언했습니다.
Their colours and patterns, they said, were not only exceptionally beautiful, but the clothes made of their material possessed the wonderful quality of being invisible to any man who was unfit for his office or unpardonably stupid.
그들이 말하기를, 자신들의 색깔과 무늬는 특별히 아름다울 뿐만 아니라, 자신들의 천으로 만든 옷은 자신의 직책에 적합하지 않거나 용납할 수 없을 정도로 어리석은 사람에게는 보이지 않는 놀라운 특성을 지니고 있다고 했습니다.
"That must be wonderful cloth," thought the emperor.
"그것은 정말 훌륭한 천임에 틀림없어," 황제는 생각했습니다.
"If I were to be dressed in a suit made of this cloth I should be able to find out which men in my empire were unfit for their places, and I could distinguish the clever from the stupid.
"만약 내가 이 천으로 만든 옷을 입는다면, 나의 제국에서 어떤 사람들이 자신의 자리에 적합하지 않은지 알아낼 수 있을 것이고, 영리한 사람과 어리석은 사람을 구별할 수 있을 것이야.
I must have this cloth woven for me without delay."
나는 지체 없이 이 천을 짜게 해야겠어."
And he gave a large sum of money to the swindlers, in advance, that they should set to work without any loss of time.
그리고 그는 사기꾼들에게 시간을 낭비하지 않고 바로 작업에 착수할 수 있도록 많은 돈을 선불로 주었습니다.
They set up two looms, and pretended to be very hard at work, but they did nothing whatever on the looms.
그들은 두 대의 베틀을 설치하고, 매우 열심히 일하는 척했지만, 베틀에서는 아무것도 하지 않았습니다.
They asked for the finest silk and the most precious gold-cloth; all they got they did away with, and worked at the empty looms till late at night.
그들은 가장 좋은 비단과 가장 귀한 금실 천을 요구했으며, 받은 것은 모두 횡령하고, 밤늦게까지 빈 베틀에서 일하는 척했습니다.
"I should very much like to know how they are getting on with the cloth," thought the emperor.
"그들이 천을 어떻게 만들어 가고 있는지 정말 알고 싶구나," 황제는 생각했습니다.
