Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 305
The elder one, who was named Care, looked rather gloomy; she always goes about to perform her own business in person; for then she knows it is properly done.
케어라는 이름의 나이 든 이는 다소 우울해 보였다. 그녀는 항상 자신의 일을 직접 처리하러 다닌다. 그래야 제대로 되었다는 것을 알 수 있기 때문이다.
They were telling each other where they had been during the day.
그들은 서로 하루 동안 어디에 있었는지 이야기하고 있었다.
The messenger of Fortune had only transacted a few unimportant matters; for instance, she had preserved a new bonnet from a shower of rain, and obtained for an honest man a bow from a titled nobody, and so on; but she had something extraordinary to relate, after all.
행운의 사자는 몇 가지 사소한 일만 처리했을 뿐이었다. 예를 들어, 새 보닛을 소나기로부터 지켜냈고, 한 정직한 남자를 위해 이름뿐인 귀족에게서 인사를 받아냈다. 그런 식이었다. 하지만 그래도 그녀에게는 특별한 이야기가 있었다.
"I must tell you," said she, "that to-day is my birthday; and in honor of it I have been intrusted with a pair of goloshes, to introduce amongst mankind.
"말씀드려야 할 게 있어요," 그녀가 말했다. "오늘은 제 생일이에요. 그것을 기념하여 저는 인류에게 소개할 한 켤레의 덧신을 맡게 되었답니다.
These goloshes have the property of making every one who puts them on imagine himself in any place he wishes, or that he exists at any period.
이 덧신은 신는 사람이 자신이 원하는 어떤 장소에 있다고 상상하게 하거나, 어떤 시대에 존재한다고 느끼게 하는 특성을 가지고 있어요.
Every wish is fulfilled at the moment it is expressed, so that for once mankind have the chance of being happy."
모든 소원은 말하는 순간 이루어지죠. 그러니 인류가 마침내 행복해질 기회를 갖게 되는 거예요."
"No," replied Care; "you may depend upon it that whoever puts on those goloshes will be very unhappy, and bless the moment in which he can get rid of them."
"아니에요," 케어가 대답했다. "틀림없이, 그 덧신을 신는 사람은 누구든 매우 불행해질 것이고, 그것을 벗을 수 있는 순간을 축복으로 여기게 될 거예요."
"What are you thinking of?" replied the other. "Now see; I will place them by the door; some one will take them instead of his own, and he will be the happy man."
"무슨 말씀을 하시는 거예요?" 다른 이가 대답했다. "자, 봐요. 제가 문 옆에 놓을 거예요. 누군가 자기 것 대신 그것을 가져갈 거고, 그 사람이 행복한 사람이 될 거예요."
This was the end of their conversation.
이것이 그들의 대화의 끝이었다.
