Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 248
I could not have wandered about as they do.
나는 그들처럼 돌아다닐 수 없었을 것이다.
Yet he who wrote all this has looked at me, as every word flowed from his pen upon my surface.
그러나 이 모든 것을 쓴 그는, 그의 펜에서 모든 단어가 내 표면 위로 흘러나올 때마다, 나를 바라보았다.
I am the most honored of all."
나는 모든 것 중에서 가장 영광스러운 존재이다."
Then the paper was tied in a bundle with other papers, and thrown into a tub that stood in the washhouse.
그런 다음 그 종이는 다른 종이들과 함께 묶음으로 묶여, 세탁실에 놓인 통 안으로 던져졌다.
"After work, it is well to rest," said the paper, "and a very good opportunity to collect one's thoughts.
"일이 끝난 후에는 쉬는 것이 좋지," 종이가 말했다, "그리고 자신의 생각을 정리하기에 아주 좋은 기회이기도 하고.
Now I am able, for the first time, to think of my real condition; and to know one's self is true progress.
이제 나는 처음으로 나의 진정한 상태에 대해 생각할 수 있게 되었다. 그리고 자기 자신을 아는 것이야말로 진정한 발전이다.
What will be done with me now, I wonder?
이제 나는 어떻게 될까, 궁금하다.
No doubt I shall still go forward.
틀림없이 나는 여전히 앞으로 나아갈 것이다.
I have always progressed hitherto, as I know quite well."
내가 잘 알듯이, 나는 지금까지 항상 발전해 왔다."
Now it happened one day that all the paper in the tub was taken out, and laid on the hearth to be burnt.
그러던 어느 날, 통 안의 종이가 모두 꺼내져 난로 앞에 태우려고 놓였다.
People said it could not be sold at the shop, to wrap up butter and sugar, because it had been written upon.
사람들은 그 종이에 글이 쓰여 있기 때문에 버터와 설탕을 싸는 데 쓰려고 가게에 팔 수 없다고 했다.
The children in the house stood round the stove; for they wanted to see the paper burn, because it flamed up so prettily, and afterwards, among the ashes, so many red sparks could be seen running one after the other, here and there, as quick as the wind.
집 안의 아이들은 난로 주위에 서 있었다. 종이가 타는 것을 보고 싶었기 때문인데, 종이가 아주 예쁘게 활활 타올랐고, 그 후 재 사이에서 수많은 붉은 불꽃들이 바람처럼 빠르게 이리저리 차례차례 달려가는 것을 볼 수 있었기 때문이다.
They called it seeing the children come out of school, and the last spark was the schoolmaster.
아이들은 그것을 학교에서 아이들이 나오는 것을 보는 것이라고 불렀으며, 마지막 불꽃은 선생님이었다.
