Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 496
Yes, I'll give my daughter to him who jumps highest," said the King, "for it would be mean to let these people jump for nothing."
"네, 가장 높이 뛰는 자에게 내 딸을 주겠소," 왕이 말했습니다. "이 사람들을 아무 보람도 없이 뛰게 하는 것은 인색한 일이 될 테니까요."
The Flea stepped out first.
벼룩이 먼저 나섰습니다.
He had very pretty manners, and bowed in all directions, for he had young ladies' blood in his veins, and was accustomed to consort only with human beings; and that was of great consequence.
그는 매우 예쁜 예절을 갖추고 있었고, 사방으로 인사를 했습니다. 그의 핏줄에는 젊은 아가씨들의 피가 흐르고 있었으며, 오직 인간들과만 어울리는 데 익숙했기 때문입니다. 그리고 그것은 매우 중요한 일이었습니다.
Then came the Grasshopper: he was certainly much heavier, but he had a good figure, and wore the green uniform that was born with him.
그 다음에는 메뚜기가 나왔습니다. 그는 분명히 훨씬 더 무거웠지만, 좋은 체형을 가지고 있었으며, 태어날 때부터 입고 있던 초록색 제복을 걸치고 있었습니다.
This person, moreover, maintained that he belonged to a very old family in the land of Egypt, and that he was highly esteemed there.
게다가 이 인물은 자신이 이집트 땅의 매우 오래된 가문 출신이며, 그곳에서 높이 존경받는다고 주장했습니다.
He had just come from the field, he said, and had been put into a card house three stories high, and all made of picture cards with the figures turned inwards.
그는 방금 들판에서 왔다고 말했으며, 그림이 안쪽으로 향해 있는 그림 카드들로 만들어진 3층짜리 카드 집 안에 들어가 있었다고 했습니다.
There were doors and windows in the house, cut in the body of the Queen of Hearts.
그 집에는 문과 창문이 있었는데, 하트 여왕의 몸통 부분을 잘라 만든 것이었습니다.
"I sing so," he said, "that sixteen native crickets who have chirped from their youth up, and have never yet had a card house of their own, would become thinner than they are with envy if they were to hear me."
"나는 이렇게 노래를 부릅니다," 그가 말했습니다. "어릴 때부터 울어 왔지만 아직 자신만의 카드 집을 가져 본 적 없는 열여섯 마리의 토종 귀뚜라미들이 내 노래를 듣는다면, 부러움으로 지금보다 더 야위어 버릴 것입니다."
Both of them, the Flea and the Grasshopper, took care to announce who they were, and that they considered themselves entitled to marry a Princess.
벼룩과 메뚜기, 두 마리 모두 자신이 누구인지를 알리고, 공주와 결혼할 자격이 있다고 생각한다는 것을 밝히는 데 공을 들였습니다.
