No," replied the tree; "it will certainly last much longer,--infinitely longer than I can even think of."

"아니," 나무가 대답했다. "그것은 분명히 훨씬 더 오래 지속될 것이야,--내가 생각할 수 있는 것보다 무한히 더 오래."

"Well, then," said the little fly, "we have the same time to live; only we reckon differently."

"그렇다면," 작은 파리가 말했다, "우리는 같은 시간을 살게 되는 거야; 다만 우리가 다르게 계산할 뿐이지."

And the little creature danced and floated in the air, rejoicing in her delicate wings of gauze and velvet, rejoicing in the balmy breezes, laden with the fragrance of clover-fields and wild roses, elder-blossoms and honeysuckle, from the garden hedges, wild thyme, primroses, and mint, and the scent of all these was so strong that the perfume almost intoxicated the little fly.

그리고 그 작은 생명체는 공중에서 춤추고 떠다니며, 얇은 거즈와 벨벳 같은 섬세한 날개를 기뻐하고, 클로버 밭과 들장미, 딱총나무 꽃과 인동덩굴, 정원 울타리의 야생 타임과 앵초와 박하의 향기가 가득한 온화한 바람을 기뻐했으며, 이 모든 것들의 향기가 너무나 강렬하여 그 향기가 작은 파리를 거의 취하게 할 정도였다.

The long and beautiful day had been so full of joy and sweet delights, that when the sun sank low it felt tired of all its happiness and enjoyment.

길고 아름다운 하루가 기쁨과 달콤한 즐거움으로 가득 차 있었기에, 해가 낮게 가라앉을 때 그것은 모든 행복과 즐거움에 지쳐버렸다.

Its wings could sustain it no longer, and gently and slowly it glided down upon the soft waving blades of grass, nodded its little head as well as it could nod, and slept peacefully and sweetly.

날개는 더 이상 그것을 지탱할 수 없었고, 부드럽고 천천히 살랑거리는 풀잎 위로 미끄러져 내려와, 고개를 끄덕일 수 있는 만큼 끄덕이고는, 평화롭고 달콤하게 잠들었다.

The fly was dead.

파리는 죽었다.

"Poor little Ephemera!" said the oak; "what a terribly short life!"

"가엾은 작은 하루살이여!" 참나무가 말했다. "얼마나 끔찍하게 짧은 삶인가!"

And so, on every summer day the dance was repeated, the same questions asked, and the same answers given.

그리하여, 매여름 날마다 춤은 반복되었고, 같은 질문이 던져졌으며, 같은 대답이 주어졌다.

The same thing was continued through many generations of Ephemera; all of them felt equally merry and equally happy.

같은 일이 하루살이의 여러 세대에 걸쳐 계속되었다. 그들 모두는 똑같이 유쾌하고 똑같이 행복하게 느꼈다.

The oak remained awake through the morning of spring, the noon of summer, and the evening of autumn; its time of rest, its night drew nigh--winter was coming.

참나무는 봄의 아침, 여름의 한낮, 가을의 저녁 내내 깨어 있었다. 그것의 휴식의 시간, 그것의 밤이 다가왔다--겨울이 오고 있었다.
