Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 503
He saw the knights of olden times and noble ladies ride by through the wood on their gallant steeds, with plumes waving in their hats, and falcons on their wrists.
그는 옛 시대의 기사들과 고귀한 귀부인들이 모자에 깃털을 흔들며 손목에 매를 얹은 채 용감한 말을 타고 숲 사이를 지나가는 것을 보았다.
The hunting horn sounded, and the dogs barked.
사냥 나팔이 울리고 개들이 짖었다.
He saw hostile warriors, in colored dresses and glittering armor, with spear and halberd, pitching their tents, and anon striking them.
그는 적대적인 전사들이 화려한 옷과 번쩍이는 갑옷을 입고 창과 미늘창을 들고 천막을 치고 이내 다시 거두는 것을 보았다.
The watchfires again blazed, and men sang and slept under the hospitable shelter of the tree.
경계의 불이 다시 타오르고 사람들은 나무의 넉넉한 그늘 아래에서 노래하고 잠을 잤다.
He saw lovers meet in quiet happiness near him in the moonshine, and carve the initials of their names in the grayish-green bark on his trunk.
그는 연인들이 달빛 속에서 그의 곁에 조용한 행복 속에 만나 그의 줄기의 회록색 껍질에 이름의 이니셜을 새기는 것을 보았다.
Once, but long years had intervened since then, guitars and Eolian harps had been hung on his boughs by merry travellers; now they seemed to hang there again, and he could hear their marvellous tones.
한때, 그러나 그 이후로 오랜 세월이 흘렀지만, 쾌활한 여행자들이 그의 가지에 기타와 에올리안 하프를 걸어 두었었는데, 이제 그것들이 다시 거기에 걸려 있는 것 같았고 그는 그 경이로운 음색을 들을 수 있었다.
The wood-pigeons cooed as if to explain the feelings of the tree, and the cuckoo called out to tell him how many summer days he had yet to live.
산비둘기들은 나무의 감정을 설명하려는 듯 구구 울었고, 뻐꾸기는 그에게 아직 살아갈 여름날이 얼마나 남았는지 알려주려는 듯 울어댔다.
Then it seemed as if new life was thrilling through every fibre of root and stem and leaf, rising even to the highest branches.
그러자 새로운 생명이 뿌리와 줄기와 잎의 모든 섬유를 통해 짜릿하게 흘러 가장 높은 가지에까지 올라가는 것 같았다.
The tree felt itself stretching and spreading out, while through the root beneath the earth ran the warm vigor of life.
나무는 스스로가 뻗어나가고 퍼져나가는 것을 느꼈고, 한편 땅 아래 뿌리를 통해 생명의 따뜻한 활력이 흘렀다.
