In its topmost branches the wood-pigeon built her nest, and the cuckoo carried out his usual vocal performances, and his well-known notes echoed amid the boughs; and in autumn, when the leaves looked like beaten copper plates, the birds of passage would come and rest upon the branches before taking their flight across the sea.

가장 높은 가지에는 비둘기가 둥지를 틀었고, 뻐꾸기는 늘 하던 대로 울음소리를 냈으며, 그 익숙한 소리가 나뭇가지 사이에 울려 퍼졌다. 그리고 가을이 되어 나뭇잎들이 두드려 만든 구리판처럼 보일 때면, 철새들이 날아와 바다를 건너기 전에 가지 위에서 쉬어 가곤 했다.

But now it was winter, the tree stood leafless, so that every one could see how crooked and bent were the branches that sprang forth from the trunk.

그러나 지금은 겨울이었고, 나무는 잎 하나 없이 서 있었기에, 누구나 줄기에서 뻗어 나온 가지들이 얼마나 구부러지고 휘어 있는지 볼 수 있었다.

Crows and rooks came by turns and sat on them, and talked of the hard times which were beginning, and how difficult it was in winter to obtain food.

까마귀와 갈까마귀들이 번갈아 날아와 가지에 앉아서, 시작되고 있는 힘든 시절과 겨울에 먹이를 구하는 것이 얼마나 어려운지에 대해 이야기를 나눴다.

It was just about holy Christmas time that the tree dreamed a dream.

바로 거룩한 크리스마스가 다가올 무렵, 나무는 꿈을 꾸었다.

The tree had, doubtless, a kind of feeling that the festive time had arrived, and in his dream fancied he heard the bells ringing from all the churches round, and yet it seemed to him to be a beautiful summer's day, mild and warm.

나무는 의심할 여지 없이 축제의 시간이 왔다는 일종의 느낌을 받고 있었고, 꿈속에서 주변의 모든 교회에서 종소리가 울려 퍼지는 것을 들었다고 생각했다. 그러나 동시에 그것은 온화하고 따뜻한 아름다운 여름날처럼 느껴졌다.

His mighty summits was crowned with spreading fresh green foliage; the sunbeams played among the leaves and branches, and the air was full of fragrance from herb and blossom; painted butterflies chased each other; the summer flies danced around him, as if the world had been created merely for them to dance and be merry in.

그의 웅장한 꼭대기는 넓게 펼쳐진 싱그러운 녹색 잎으로 뒤덮였고, 햇살은 잎과 가지 사이에서 춤을 추었으며, 공기는 풀과 꽃의 향기로 가득했다. 화려한 나비들이 서로를 쫓아다니고, 여름 파리들이 그의 주위를 빙빙 돌았는데, 마치 세상이 오로지 그것들이 춤추고 즐거워하도록 만들어진 것 같았다.

All that had happened to the tree during every year of his life seemed to pass before him, as in a festive procession.

나무가 살아온 매해 동안 일어났던 모든 일들이 마치 축제의 행렬처럼 그의 눈앞을 지나가는 것 같았다.
