Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 406
On both sides of the mountain-path stand these little wooden houses; and, as within, there are many children and many mouths to feed, each house has its own little potato garden.
산길 양쪽에는 작은 목조 가옥들이 서 있고, 안에는 많은 아이들과 먹여 살려야 할 입이 많기 때문에, 각 집마다 자그마한 감자밭을 가지고 있다.
These children rush out in swarms, and surround travellers, whether on foot or in carriages.
이 아이들은 떼를 지어 뛰쳐나와, 걸어서든 마차를 타고서든 여행자들을 둘러싼다.
They are all clever at making a bargain.
그들은 모두 흥정하는 데 능하다.
They offer for sale the sweetest little toy-houses, models of the mountain cottages in Switzerland.
그들은 스위스 산간 오두막을 본뜬 아주 앙증맞은 장난감 집들을 팔려고 내놓는다.
Whether it be rain or sunshine, these crowds of children are always to be seen with their wares.
비가 오든 햇볕이 쨍쨍하든, 이 아이들의 무리는 언제나 물건을 들고 나타난다.
About twenty years ago, there might be seen occasionally, standing at a short distance from the other children, a little boy, who was also anxious to sell his curious wares.
약 이십 년 전, 다른 아이들로부터 조금 떨어진 곳에 가끔 서 있는 한 작은 소년을 볼 수 있었는데, 그 소년도 자신의 신기한 물건들을 팔고 싶어 안달이 나 있었다.
He had an earnest, expressive countenance, and held the box containing his carved toys tightly with both hands, as if unwilling to part with it.
그는 진지하고 표정이 풍부한 얼굴을 하고 있었으며, 마치 내놓기 싫은 듯 조각 장난감들이 담긴 상자를 두 손으로 꼭 쥐고 있었다.
His earnest look, and being also a very little boy, made him noticed by the strangers; so that he often sold the most, without knowing why.
그의 진지한 표정과 아주 어린 소년이라는 점이 낯선 이들의 눈길을 끌었고, 그래서 그는 왜인지도 모른 채 종종 가장 많이 팔았다.
An hour's walk farther up the ascent lived his grandfather, who cut and carved the pretty little toy-houses; and in the old man's room stood a large press, full of all sorts of carved things--nut-crackers, knives and forks, boxes with beautifully carved foliage, leaping chamois.
오르막길을 한 시간 더 걸어 올라간 곳에 그의 할아버지가 살고 있었는데, 할아버지는 예쁜 장난감 집들을 깎고 조각했다. 노인의 방에는 큰 찬장이 있었고, 그 안에는 호두까기 인형, 나이프와 포크, 아름다운 잎사귀 문양이 조각된 상자들, 뛰어오르는 샤무아 등 온갖 조각품들이 가득했다.
It contained everything that could delight the eyes of a child.
그 안에는 아이의 눈을 즐겁게 할 수 있는 모든 것이 담겨 있었다.
