Indeed I will," said the student; "give me the book instead of the cheese; I can eat my bread and butter without cheese.

"정말 그렇게 하겠습니다," 학생이 말했다. "치즈 대신 그 책을 주세요. 저는 치즈 없이도 빵과 버터를 먹을 수 있어요.

It would be a sin to tear up a book like this.

이런 책을 찢는 것은 죄가 될 거예요.

You are a clever man; and a practical man; but you understand no more about poetry than that cask yonder."

당신은 영리한 사람이고, 실용적인 사람이지만, 저기 있는 저 통보다도 시에 대해 더 아는 것이 없군요."

This was a very rude speech, especially against the cask; but the huckster and the student both laughed, for it was only said in fun.

이것은 매우 무례한 말이었는데, 특히 그 통에 대해서는 더욱 그러했다. 하지만 행상인과 학생 둘 다 웃었는데, 그것은 그저 농담으로 한 말이었기 때문이다.

But the goblin felt very angry that any man should venture to say such things to a huckster who was a householder and sold the best butter.

하지만 도깨비는 집주인이자 최고의 버터를 파는 행상인에게 감히 그런 말을 하는 사람이 있다는 것에 매우 화가 났다.

As soon as it was night, and the shop closed, and every one in bed except the student, the goblin stepped softly into the bedroom where the huckster's wife slept, and took away her tongue, which of course, she did not then want.

밤이 되어 가게 문이 닫히고, 학생을 제외한 모든 사람이 잠자리에 들자마자, 도깨비는 행상인의 아내가 자고 있는 침실로 살며시 들어가 그녀의 혀를 가져갔는데, 물론 그녀는 그때 혀가 필요하지 않았다.

Whatever object in the room he placed his tongue upon immediately received voice and speech, and was able to express its thoughts and feelings as readily as the lady herself could do.

방 안에서 그가 혀를 올려놓은 물건은 무엇이든 즉시 목소리와 말을 얻게 되어, 그 부인 자신이 할 수 있는 것만큼 쉽게 자신의 생각과 감정을 표현할 수 있었다.

It could only be used by one object at a time, which was a good thing, as a number speaking at once would have caused great confusion.

그것은 한 번에 하나의 물건만 사용할 수 있었는데, 여러 개가 한꺼번에 말을 했다면 큰 혼란을 일으켰을 것이기 때문에 이것은 다행스러운 일이었다.

The goblin laid the tongue upon the cask, in which lay a quantity of old newspapers.

도깨비는 오래된 신문들이 잔뜩 들어 있는 그 통 위에 혀를 올려놓았다.

"Is it really true," he asked, "that you do not know what poetry is?"

"정말 사실인가요," 그가 물었다, "당신은 시가 무엇인지 모른다는 것이?"
