Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 453
Waters roared beneath them, or fell in cascades from above.
물이 그들 아래에서 으르렁거리거나, 위에서 폭포처럼 쏟아져 내렸다.
Humid clouds were driving through the air as the hunters reached the precipitous ledge of the rock.
사냥꾼들이 가파른 바위 턱에 다다랐을 때, 습기 찬 구름이 공기를 가르며 흘러가고 있었다.
It was even darker here, for the sides of the rocks almost met, and the light penetrated only through a small opening at the top.
이곳은 더욱 어두웠는데, 바위의 양쪽 면이 거의 맞닿아 있어 빛이 오직 꼭대기의 작은 틈새로만 들어왔기 때문이었다.
At a little distance from the edge could be heard the sound of the roaring, foaming waters in the yawning abyss beneath them.
절벽 끝에서 조금 떨어진 곳에서는, 그들 아래로 입을 벌린 심연 속에서 으르렁거리며 거품을 뿜는 물소리가 들려왔다.
The three seated themselves on a stone, to await in stillness the dawn of day, when the parent eagle would fly out, as it would be necessary to shoot the old bird before they could think of gaining possession of the young one.
세 사람은 돌 위에 앉아 고요히 날이 밝기를 기다렸는데, 어미 독수리가 날아 나올 때를 기다리는 것이었다. 새끼를 손에 넣으려면 먼저 늙은 새를 쏘아야 했기 때문이었다.
Rudy sat motionless, as if he had been part of the stone on which he sat.
루디는 마치 자신이 앉아 있는 돌의 일부인 것처럼 꼼짝도 하지 않고 앉아 있었다.
He held his gun ready to fire, with his eyes fixed steadily on the highest point of the cliff, where the eagle's nest lay concealed beneath the overhanging rock.
그는 총을 발사할 준비를 갖춘 채, 독수리 둥지가 튀어나온 바위 아래 숨겨져 있는 절벽의 가장 높은 지점에 눈을 고정하고 있었다.
The three hunters had a long time to wait.
세 사냥꾼은 오랫동안 기다려야 했다.
At last they heard a rustling, whirring sound above them, and a large hovering object darkened the air.
마침내 그들은 머리 위에서 바스락거리며 윙윙거리는 소리를 들었고, 크게 맴도는 물체 하나가 하늘을 어둡게 했다.
Two guns were ready to aim at the dark body of the eagle as it rose from the nest.
독수리가 둥지에서 솟아오르자 두 자루의 총이 그 어두운 몸통을 겨눌 준비를 갖추었다.
Then a shot was fired; for an instant the bird fluttered its wide-spreading wings, and seemed as if it would fill up the whole of the chasm, and drag down the hunters in its fall.
그때 총성이 울렸다. 잠시 동안 새는 넓게 펼쳐진 날개를 퍼덕이며, 마치 협곡 전체를 가득 채우고 쓰러지면서 사냥꾼들을 함께 끌어내릴 것 같았다.
