Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 234
Then the fir-tree was placed in a large tub, full of sand; but green baize hung all around it, so that no one could see it was a tub, and it stood on a very handsome carpet.
그리고 나서 전나무는 모래가 가득 찬 큰 통 안에 놓였다. 하지만 초록색 나사 천이 그 주위를 모두 둘러싸고 있어서 아무도 그것이 통이라는 것을 알 수 없었고, 그것은 매우 멋진 카펫 위에 서 있었다.
How the fir-tree trembled! "What was going to happen to him now?"
전나무는 얼마나 떨었던가! "이제 자신에게 무슨 일이 일어나려는 걸까?"
Some young ladies came, and the servants helped them to adorn the tree.
몇몇 젊은 아가씨들이 왔고, 하인들은 그들이 나무를 장식하는 것을 도왔다.
On one branch they hung little bags cut out of colored paper, and each bag was filled with sweetmeats; from other branches hung gilded apples and walnuts, as if they had grown there; and above, and all round, were hundreds of red, blue, and white tapers, which were fastened on the branches.
한 가지에는 색종이로 오려 만든 작은 봉지들을 달았고, 각 봉지에는 사탕과자가 가득 채워져 있었다. 다른 가지들에는 금빛 사과와 호두가 마치 거기서 자란 것처럼 달려 있었다. 그리고 위쪽과 사방에는 수백 개의 빨간색, 파란색, 흰색 촛불들이 가지에 고정되어 있었다.
Dolls, exactly like real babies, were placed under the green leaves,--the tree had never seen such things before,--and at the very top was fastened a glittering star, made of tinsel.
진짜 아기와 똑같이 생긴 인형들이 초록 잎 아래에 놓였다. 나무는 그런 것들을 전에 본 적이 없었다. 그리고 맨 꼭대기에는 금속 박으로 만든 반짝이는 별이 고정되어 있었다.
Oh, it was very beautiful!
오, 정말로 아름다웠다!
"This evening," they all exclaimed, "how bright it will be!"
"오늘 저녁에는," 모두가 외쳤다, "얼마나 밝게 빛날까!"
"Oh, that the evening were come," thought the tree, "and the tapers lighted! then I shall know what else is going to happen.
"오, 저녁이 빨리 왔으면," 나무는 생각했다, "그리고 촛불에 불이 켜진다면! 그러면 나는 또 어떤 일이 일어날지 알게 될 텐데.
Will the trees of the forest come to see me? I wonder if the sparrows will peep in at the windows as they fly? shall I grow faster here, and keep on all these ornaments summer and winter?"
숲의 나무들이 나를 보러 올까? 참새들이 날아가다가 창문으로 들여다볼까? 나는 여기서 더 빨리 자라고, 여름과 겨울 내내 이 장식들을 달고 있을 수 있을까?"
But guessing was of very little use; it made his bark ache, and this pain is as bad for a slender fir-tree, as headache is for us.
하지만 추측하는 것은 별로 소용이 없었다. 그것은 나무의 껍질을 아프게 했고, 이 고통은 가녀린 전나무에게 있어 우리에게 두통이 그러하듯 괴로운 것이었다.
