It was his own room.

그것은 그 자신의 방이었다.

"Let us be men now," said he, involuntarily imitating the parrot;

"이제 우리 인간답게 됩시다," 그는 무심코 앵무새를 흉내 내며 말했다;

and at the same moment he became a clerk again, only that he was sitting on the table.

그리고 바로 그 순간 그는 다시 서기가 되었는데, 다만 그는 탁자 위에 앉아 있었다.

"Heaven preserve us!" said he;

"하늘이시여, 우리를 지켜 주소서!" 그는 말했다;

"How did I get up here and fall asleep in this way?

"내가 어떻게 여기에 올라와서 이런 식으로 잠이 들었단 말인가?

It was an uneasy dream too that I had.

내가 꾼 꿈도 불안한 꿈이었다.

The whole affair appears most absurd."

이 모든 일이 매우 터무니없어 보인다."

THE BEST THING THE GOLOSHES DID

덧신이 한 일 중 가장 훌륭한 것

Early on the following morning, while the clerk was still in bed, his neighbor, a young divinity student, who lodged on the same storey, knocked at his door, and then walked in.

다음 날 이른 아침, 서기가 아직 침대에 있는 동안, 같은 층에 하숙하고 있던 젊은 신학생인 그의 이웃이 그의 문을 두드리고 들어왔다.

"Lend me your goloshes," said he; "it is so wet in the garden, but the sun is shining brightly.

"당신의 덧신을 빌려주세요," 그는 말했다; "정원이 너무 젖어 있지만, 해가 밝게 빛나고 있습니다.

I should like to go out there and smoke my pipe."

나는 거기에 나가서 파이프 담배를 피우고 싶습니다."

He put on the goloshes, and was soon in the garden, which contained only one plum-tree and one apple-tree;

그는 덧신을 신고 곧 정원으로 나갔는데, 그 정원에는 자두나무 한 그루와 사과나무 한 그루만 있었다;

yet, in a town, even a small garden like this is a great advantage.

그러나 도시에서는 이와 같은 작은 정원도 큰 이점이다.

The student wandered up and down the path; it was just six o'clock, and he could hear the sound of the post-horn in the street.

학생은 길을 이리저리 거닐었다; 마침 여섯 시였고, 그는 거리에서 우편 마차의 호각 소리를 들을 수 있었다.

"Oh, to travel, to travel!" cried he; "there is no greater happiness in the world: it is the height of my ambition.

"오, 여행하고 싶다, 여행하고 싶다!" 그는 외쳤다; "세상에 이보다 더 큰 행복은 없다: 그것은 나의 야망의 극치이다.

This restless feeling would be stilled, if I could take a journey far away from this country.

이 불안한 감정은, 내가 이 나라에서 멀리 여행을 떠날 수 있다면 가라앉을 것이다.
