Yes," said the student, "mind you think of it the next time you go out, no doubt you will see them, if you peep through the window.

"네," 학생이 말했습니다, "다음에 외출할 때 꼭 그것을 생각해 보세요, 창문을 통해 들여다보면 틀림없이 볼 수 있을 거예요.

I did so to-day, and I saw a long yellow lily lying stretched out on the sofa.

저는 오늘 그렇게 했는데, 소파 위에 길고 노란 백합 한 송이가 쭉 뻗어 누워 있는 것을 보았어요.

She was a court lady."

그 꽃은 궁중 귀부인이었어요."

"Can the flowers from the Botanical Gardens go to these balls?" asked Ida.

"식물원의 꽃들도 그 무도회에 갈 수 있나요?" 이다가 물었습니다.

"It is such a distance!"

"거리가 너무 멀잖아요!"

"Oh yes," said the student, "whenever they like, for they can fly.

"오, 그럼요," 학생이 말했습니다, "그들은 날 수 있으니까 원할 때마다 갈 수 있어요.

Have you not seen those beautiful red, white, and yellow butterflies, that look like flowers?

꽃처럼 생긴 아름다운 빨간색, 흰색, 노란색 나비들을 본 적이 없나요?

They were flowers once.

그것들은 한때 꽃이었어요.

They have flown off their stalks into the air, and flap their leaves as if they were little wings to make them fly.

그것들은 줄기에서 공중으로 날아올라, 날기 위해 작은 날개처럼 잎사귀를 퍼덕이는 거예요.

Then, if they behave well, they obtain permission to fly about during the day, instead of being obliged to sit still on their stems at home, and so in time their leaves become real wings.

그래서 만약 그것들이 얌전히 행동하면, 집에서 줄기 위에 가만히 앉아 있는 대신 낮 동안 날아다닐 수 있는 허락을 받게 되고, 그러면서 시간이 지나 잎사귀가 진짜 날개가 되는 거예요.

It may be, however, that the flowers in the Botanical Gardens have never been to the king's palace, and, therefore, they know nothing of the merry doings at night, which take place there.

하지만 식물원의 꽃들은 왕의 궁전에 한 번도 가본 적이 없어서, 그곳에서 밤마다 벌어지는 즐거운 일들에 대해 전혀 모를 수도 있어요.

I will tell you what to do, and the botanical professor, who lives close by here, will be so surprised.

제가 어떻게 하면 되는지 알려드릴게요, 그러면 이 근처에 사는 식물학 교수님도 무척 놀라실 거예요.

You know him very well, do you not?

교수님을 잘 알고 계시죠, 그렇지 않나요?
