Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 375
She knew it would so soon fade; so she took only a single green leaf, carried it home, and laid it in her Bible, where it remained ever green, fresh, and unfading.
그녀는 그것이 곧 시들 것을 알았기에, 초록 잎 하나만을 따서 집으로 가져가 성경 속에 끼워 두었고, 그 잎은 영원히 푸르고 신선하게 시들지 않은 채로 남아 있었다.
Between the pages of the Bible it still lay when, a few weeks afterwards, that Bible was laid under the young girl's head in her coffin.
몇 주 후 그 성경이 어린 소녀의 관 속에서 그녀의 머리 아래 놓일 때에도, 잎은 여전히 성경 페이지 사이에 끼워져 있었다.
A holy calm rested on her face, as if the earthly remains bore the impress of the truth that she now stood in the presence of God.
그녀의 얼굴에는 거룩한 평온함이 깃들어 있었으며, 마치 그 육신이 이제 그녀가 하나님의 앞에 서 있다는 진리의 흔적을 담고 있는 듯하였다.
In the forest the wonderful plant still continued to bloom till it grew and became almost a tree, and all the birds of passage bowed themselves before it.
숲 속에서 그 놀라운 식물은 계속해서 꽃을 피우며 자라 거의 나무가 될 정도가 되었고, 모든 철새들이 그 앞에 몸을 굽혔다.
"That plant is a foreigner, no doubt," said the thistles and the burdocks.
"저 식물은 틀림없이 외래종이야," 엉겅퀴와 우엉이 말했다.
"We can never conduct ourselves like that in this country."
"우리는 이 나라에서 절대 저렇게 처신할 수 없어."
And the black forest snails actually spat at the flower.
그리고 숲속의 검은 달팽이들은 실제로 그 꽃에 침을 뱉었다.
Then came the swineherd; he was collecting thistles and shrubs to burn them for the ashes.
그때 돼지치기가 왔는데, 그는 재를 얻기 위해 엉겅퀴와 덤불을 모아 태우려 하고 있었다.
He pulled up the wonderful plant, roots and all, and placed it in his bundle.
그는 그 놀라운 식물을 뿌리째 뽑아 자신의 짐 보따리에 넣었다.
"This will be as useful as any," he said; so the plant was carried away.
"이것도 다른 것만큼 쓸모가 있겠지," 그가 말했고, 그렇게 식물은 옮겨졌다.
Not long after, the king of the country suffered from the deepest melancholy.
얼마 지나지 않아, 그 나라의 왕은 극심한 우울증에 시달리게 되었다.
He was diligent and industrious, but employment did him no good.
그는 부지런하고 근면하였으나, 일을 해도 전혀 나아지지 않았다.
They read deep and learned books to him, and then the lightest and most trifling that could be found, but all to no purpose.
사람들은 그에게 깊고 학식 있는 책들을 읽어 주었고, 그다음에는 찾을 수 있는 가장 가볍고 하찮은 책들을 읽어 주었지만, 모두 아무 소용이 없었다.
