We will not grudge him this little walk, it was just the thing to do him good after sitting so much.

우리는 그가 이 짧은 산책을 하는 것을 아까워하지 않을 것이다. 그것은 오랫동안 앉아 있은 후 그에게 딱 좋은 일이었다.

He went on at first like a mere automaton, without thought or wish; therefore the goloshes had no opportunity to display their magic power.

그는 처음에 아무런 생각이나 바람도 없이 그저 자동인형처럼 걸어갔다. 그러므로 덧신은 그 마법의 힘을 발휘할 기회가 없었다.

In the avenue he met with an acquaintance, one of our young poets, who told him that he intended to start on the following day on a summer excursion.

가로수 길에서 그는 지인을 만났는데, 그는 우리의 젊은 시인 중 한 명으로, 다음 날 여름 소풍을 떠날 계획이라고 말했다.

"Are you really going away so soon?" asked the clerk.

"정말 그렇게 빨리 떠나시는 건가요?" 하고 서기가 물었다.

"What a free, happy man you are.

"당신은 정말 자유롭고 행복한 사람이군요.

You can roam about where you will, while such as we are tied by the foot."

당신은 원하는 곳 어디든 돌아다닐 수 있지만, 우리 같은 사람들은 발이 묶여 있으니까요."

"But it is fastened to the bread-tree," replied the poet.

"하지만 그것은 빵나무에 묶여 있지요." 하고 시인이 대답했다.

"You need have no anxiety for the morrow; and when you are old there is a pension for you."

"당신은 내일을 걱정할 필요가 없잖아요. 그리고 늙으면 연금도 있고요."

"Ah, yes; but you have the best of it," said the clerk; "it must be so delightful to sit and write poetry.

"아, 그렇지요. 하지만 당신이 더 좋은 처지잖아요." 하고 서기가 말했다. "앉아서 시를 쓴다는 것은 정말 즐거운 일임에 틀림없어요.

The whole world makes itself agreeable to you, and then you are your own master.

온 세상이 당신에게 즐거움을 주고, 또한 당신은 자신의 주인이잖아요.

You should try how you would like to listen to all the trivial things in a court of justice."

법정에서 온갖 사소한 것들을 들어야 하는 것이 어떤 것인지 한번 겪어 보세요."

The poet shook his head, so also did the clerk; each retained his own opinion, and so they parted.

시인은 고개를 저었고, 서기도 마찬가지였다. 각자 자신의 의견을 고수하며 그렇게 헤어졌다.

"They are strange people, these poets," thought the clerk.

"저 시인들이란 참 이상한 사람들이야." 하고 서기는 생각했다.

"I should like to try what it is to have a poetic taste, and to become a poet myself.

"시적인 감각을 갖는다는 것이 어떤 것인지, 그리고 나 자신이 시인이 된다는 것이 어떤 것인지 한번 경험해 보고 싶군.
