Yes, he was certainly born to be a drummer.

그렇습니다, 그는 분명히 북 치는 사람이 되도록 태어났습니다.

The day of battle dawned.

전투의 날이 밝아왔습니다.

The sun had not yet risen, but the morning was come.

태양은 아직 떠오르지 않았지만, 아침은 찾아왔습니다.

The air was cold, the battle was hot; there was mist in the air, but still more gunpowder-smoke.

공기는 차가웠고, 전투는 뜨거웠습니다. 공기 중에는 안개가 끼어 있었지만, 화약 연기는 더욱 짙었습니다.

The bullets and shells flew over the soldiers' heads, and into their heads--into their bodies and limbs; but still they pressed forward.

총알과 포탄이 병사들의 머리 위를 날아다니고, 그들의 머리 속으로, 몸과 팔다리 속으로 파고들었습니다. 그러나 그들은 여전히 앞으로 나아갔습니다.

Here or there one or other of them would sink on his knees, with bleeding temples and a face as white as chalk.

여기저기서 그들 중 한 명씩 무릎을 꿇고 쓰러졌는데, 관자놀이에서는 피가 흐르고 얼굴은 백묵처럼 하얗게 질려 있었습니다.

The little drummer still kept his healthy color; he had suffered no damage; he looked cheerfully at the dog of the regiment, which was jumping along as merrily as if the whole thing had been got up for his amusement, and as if the bullets were only flying about that he might have a game of play with them.

어린 북 치는 소년은 여전히 건강한 안색을 유지하고 있었습니다. 그는 아무런 피해도 입지 않았습니다. 그는 연대의 개를 즐겁게 바라보았는데, 그 개는 마치 이 모든 것이 자신을 즐겁게 하기 위해 벌어진 것인 양, 또 총알들이 자신과 놀아주려고 날아다니는 것인 양 신나게 뛰어다니고 있었습니다.

"March! Forward! March!" This, was the word of command for the drum.

"전진! 앞으로! 전진!" 이것이 북에 내려진 명령의 구호였습니다.

The word had not yet been given to fall back, though they might have done so, and perhaps there would have been much sense in it; and now at last the word "Retire" was given; but our little drummer beat "Forward! march!" for he had understood the command thus, and the soldiers obeyed the sound of the drum.

후퇴하라는 명령은 아직 내려지지 않았습니다. 비록 그들이 후퇴할 수도 있었고, 어쩌면 그것이 훨씬 현명한 일이었을지도 모르지만 말입니다. 그리고 마침내 "후퇴" 명령이 내려졌습니다. 하지만 우리의 어린 북 치는 소년은 "앞으로! 전진!"을 쳤습니다. 그는 명령을 그렇게 이해했고, 병사들은 북소리에 복종했습니다.

That was a good roll, and proved the summons to victory for the men, who had already begun to give way.

그것은 훌륭한 북소리였으며, 이미 물러서기 시작했던 병사들에게 승리로의 소환을 증명해 보였습니다.

Life and limb were lost in the battle.

전투에서 목숨과 사지를 잃었습니다.
