They exercise their power in different ways, and everywhere.

그들은 다양한 방식으로, 그리고 어디에서나 그들의 힘을 행사한다.

Some sit on the banisters of steep stairs, others on the outer rails of lofty towers, or spring like squirrels along the ridges of the mountains.

일부는 가파른 계단의 난간에 앉아 있고, 다른 이들은 높은 탑의 바깥쪽 난간에 앉아 있거나, 다람쥐처럼 산등성이를 따라 뛰어다닌다.

Others tread the air as a swimmer treads the water, and lure their victims here and there till they fall into the deep abyss.

다른 이들은 수영선수가 물을 헤치듯 공중을 걸으며, 희생자들을 이리저리 유혹하여 깊은 심연으로 떨어지게 한다.

Vertigo and the Ice Maiden clutch at human beings, as the polypus seizes upon all that comes within its reach.

현기증과 얼음 아가씨는 문어가 닿는 모든 것을 붙잡듯이 인간들을 움켜쥔다.

And now Vertigo was to seize Rudy.

그리고 이제 현기증이 루디를 붙잡으려 하였다.

"Seize him, indeed," cried Vertigo; "I cannot do it.

"정말로 그를 붙잡으라고," 현기증이 외쳤다. "나는 그것을 할 수 없어.

That monster of a cat has taught him her tricks.

그 괴물 같은 고양이가 자신의 재주를 그에게 가르쳤어.

That child of the human race has a power within him which keeps me at a distance; I cannot possibly reach the boy when he hangs from the branches of trees, over the precipice; or I would gladly tickle his feet, and send him heels over head through the air; but I cannot accomplish it."

그 인간 아이는 나를 멀리하게 하는 힘이 내면에 있어. 그 아이가 절벽 위 나뭇가지에 매달려 있을 때 나는 도저히 그에게 닿을 수 없어. 그렇지 않다면 기꺼이 그의 발을 간지럽혀 공중에서 거꾸로 떨어뜨렸을 텐데. 하지만 나는 그것을 해낼 수 없어."

"We must accomplish it," said the Ice Maiden; "either you or I must; and I will--I will!"

"우리는 그것을 해내야 해," 얼음 아가씨가 말했다. "너든 나든 반드시 해야 해. 그리고 내가 할 것이야--내가 할 것이야!"

"No, no!" sounded through the air, like an echo on the mountain church bells chime.

"아니, 안 돼!" 하는 소리가 산속 교회 종소리의 메아리처럼 공중에 울려 퍼졌다.

It was an answer in song, in the melting tones of a chorus from others of nature's spirits--good and loving spirits, the daughters of the sunbeam.

그것은 자연의 다른 정령들, 즉 선하고 사랑스러운 정령들, 햇살의 딸들이 부르는 합창의 감미로운 음조로 노래하는 응답이었다.
