Westward of this ridge, and not far from the river, stands a farmhouse, surrounded by such poor land that the sandy soil shows itself between the scanty ears of rye and wheat which grow in it.

이 산등성이의 서쪽, 강에서 그리 멀지 않은 곳에 농가가 한 채 서 있는데, 그 주변 땅이 너무 척박하여 그곳에서 자라는 호밀과 밀의 빈약한 이삭 사이로 모래흙이 드러나 보였다.

Some years have passed since the people who lived here cultivated these fields; they kept three sheep, a pig, and two oxen; in fact they maintained themselves very well, they had quite enough to live upon, as people generally have who are content with their lot.

이곳에 살던 사람들이 이 밭을 일군 지 몇 해가 지났다. 그들은 양 세 마리와 돼지 한 마리, 황소 두 마리를 키웠는데, 사실 그들은 아주 잘 꾸려나갔으며, 자신의 처지에 만족하는 사람들이 대개 그러하듯이 살아가기에 충분한 것을 갖고 있었다.

They even could have afforded to keep two horses, but it was a saying among the farmers in those parts, "The horse eats himself up;" that is to say, he eats as much as he earns.

그들은 말 두 마리도 충분히 기를 수 있었지만, 그 지방 농부들 사이에는 "말은 제 밥값을 다 먹어치운다"는 말이 있었다. 즉, 말은 버는 만큼 먹어치운다는 뜻이었다.

Jeppe Jans cultivated his fields in summer, and in the winter he made wooden shoes.

예페 얀스는 여름에는 밭을 일구고, 겨울에는 나막신을 만들었다.

He also had an assistant, a lad who understood as well as he himself did how to make wooden shoes strong, but light, and in the fashion.

그에게는 조수도 한 명 있었는데, 나막신을 튼튼하면서도 가볍고 멋지게 만드는 법을 그 자신만큼이나 잘 아는 젊은이였다.

They carved shoes and spoons, which paid well; therefore no one could justly call Jeppe Jans and his family poor people.

그들은 신발과 숟가락을 깎아 만들었는데 수입이 꽤 좋았다. 그러므로 아무도 예페 얀스와 그의 가족을 가난한 사람들이라고 부를 수 없었다.

Little Ib, a boy of seven years old and the only child, would sit by, watching the workmen, or cutting a stick, and sometimes his finger instead of the stick.

일곱 살 난 외아들 꼬마 이브는 옆에 앉아 일꾼들을 구경하거나 나뭇가지를 깎곤 했는데, 때로는 나뭇가지 대신 자기 손가락을 베기도 했다.

But one day Ib succeeded so well in his carving that he made two pieces of wood look really like two little wooden shoes, and he determined to give them as a present to Little Christina.

그런데 어느 날 이브는 나무 깎는 솜씨가 너무나 훌륭하여 두 조각의 나무를 진짜 작은 나막신 두 짝처럼 만들어냈고, 그것을 꼬마 크리스티나에게 선물로 주기로 마음먹었다.
