Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 232
They are not taller than I am: indeed, one is much less; and why are the branches not cut off?
그것들은 나보다 크지 않아: 사실, 하나는 훨씬 작아; 그런데 왜 가지들을 자르지 않은 걸까?
Where are they going?"
그것들은 어디로 가는 걸까?"
"We know, we know," sang the sparrows; "we have looked in at the windows of the houses in the town, and we know what is done with them.
"우리는 알아, 우리는 알아," 참새들이 노래했다; "우리는 마을의 집들 창문 안을 들여다봤고, 그것들로 무엇을 하는지 알고 있어.
They are dressed up in the most splendid manner.
그것들은 가장 화려한 방식으로 꾸며져.
We have seen them standing in the middle of a warm room, and adorned with all sorts of beautiful things,--honey cakes, gilded apples, playthings, and many hundreds of wax tapers."
우리는 그것들이 따뜻한 방 한가운데 서서 온갖 아름다운 것들로 장식된 것을 봤어,--꿀 케이크, 금박 사과, 장난감, 그리고 수백 개의 밀랍 초들로."
"And then," asked the fir-tree, trembling through all its branches, "and then what happens?"
"그리고 나서는," 전나무가 모든 가지를 떨며 물었다, "그리고 나서는 무슨 일이 일어나?"
"We did not see any more," said the sparrows; "but this was enough for us."
"우리는 더 이상 보지 못했어," 참새들이 말했다; "하지만 이것으로 충분했어."
"I wonder whether anything so brilliant will ever happen to me," thought the fir-tree.
"나에게도 그렇게 멋진 일이 언젠가 일어날까," 전나무는 생각했다.
"It would be much better than crossing the sea.
"그것은 바다를 건너는 것보다 훨씬 나을 거야.
I long for it almost with pain.
나는 거의 고통스러울 만큼 그것을 갈망해.
Oh! when will Christmas be here?
오! 크리스마스는 언제 오는 걸까?
I am now as tall and well grown as those which were taken away last year.
나는 이제 작년에 데려간 것들만큼 키가 크고 잘 자랐어.
Oh! that I were now laid on the wagon, or standing in the warm room, with all that brightness and splendor around me!
오! 내가 지금 마차에 실려 있거나, 따뜻한 방 안에 서서, 그 모든 밝음과 화려함에 둘러싸여 있다면!
Something better and more beautiful is to come after, or the trees would not be so decked out.
더 좋고 더 아름다운 무언가가 그 다음에 올 거야, 그렇지 않다면 나무들을 그렇게 꾸미지 않겠지.
Yes, what follows will be grander and more splendid.
그래, 그 다음에 오는 것은 더 웅장하고 더 화려할 거야.
What can it be?
그것이 무엇일까?
I am weary with longing.
나는 갈망으로 지쳐 있어.
I scarcely know how I feel."
나는 내가 어떤 기분인지조차 거의 모르겠어."
