Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 304
Conversation followed, which, after a while, began to prove very entertaining.
대화가 이어졌고, 얼마 후 그것은 매우 흥미롭게 되기 시작했다.
Among other subjects, it turned upon the events of the middle ages, which some persons maintained were more full of interest than our own times.
다른 주제들 중에서도, 대화는 중세의 사건들로 흘러갔는데, 일부 사람들은 그것이 우리 시대보다 훨씬 더 흥미롭다고 주장했다.
Counsellor Knapp defended this opinion so warmly that the lady of the house immediately went over to his side, and both exclaimed against Oersted's Essays on Ancient and Modern Times, in which the preference is given to our own.
크납 고문관은 이 의견을 너무나 열정적으로 옹호하여 집안의 여주인이 즉시 그의 편으로 넘어갔고, 두 사람 모두 우리 시대에 우선권을 부여하는 외르스테드의 《고대와 현대에 관한 에세이》에 반대하며 목소리를 높였다.
The counsellor considered the times of the Danish king, Hans, as the noblest and happiest.
고문관은 덴마크 왕 한스의 시대를 가장 고귀하고 행복한 시대로 여겼다.
The conversation on this topic was only interrupted for a moment by the arrival of a newspaper, which did not, however, contain much worth reading, and while it is still going on we will pay a visit to the ante-room, in which cloaks, sticks, and goloshes were carefully placed.
이 주제에 관한 대화는 신문이 도착하면서 잠깐 중단되었을 뿐이었는데, 그 신문에는 읽을 만한 내용이 별로 없었다. 대화가 여전히 계속되는 동안 우리는 외투와 지팡이, 그리고 덧신들이 가지런히 놓여 있는 대기실을 방문해 보겠다.
Here sat two maidens, one young, and the other old, as if they had come and were waiting to accompany their mistresses home; but on looking at them more closely, it could easily be seen that they were no common servants.
그곳에는 두 명의 여인이 앉아 있었는데, 한 명은 젊고 다른 한 명은 나이가 들어 보였으며, 마치 여주인들을 집까지 데려다주기 위해 와서 기다리는 것처럼 보였다. 그러나 좀 더 자세히 들여다보면, 그들이 평범한 하인이 아님을 쉽게 알 수 있었다.
Their shapes were too graceful, their complexions too delicate, and the cut of their dresses much too elegant.
그들의 몸매는 너무나 우아하고, 안색은 너무나 곱고, 옷의 재단은 너무나 세련되었다.
They were two fairies.
그들은 두 명의 요정이었다.
The younger was not Fortune herself, but the chambermaid of one of Fortune's attendants, who carries about her more trifling gifts.
젊은 쪽은 행운의 여신 자신이 아니라, 보다 사소한 선물들을 지니고 다니는 행운의 여신의 시녀 중 한 명의 몸종이었다.
