Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 548
Well, next time you go into his garden, you must tell one of the flowers that there is going to be a grand ball at the castle, then that flower will tell all the others, and they will fly away to the castle as soon as possible.
자, 다음에 그의 정원에 들어가거든, 꽃들 중 하나에게 성에서 성대한 무도회가 열릴 거라고 말해야 해. 그러면 그 꽃이 다른 꽃들에게 모두 알릴 것이고, 그들은 최대한 빨리 성으로 날아갈 거야.
And when the professor walks into his garden, there will not be a single flower left.
그리고 교수님이 정원으로 걸어 들어오면, 꽃이 한 송이도 남아 있지 않을 거야.
How he will wonder what has become of them!"
교수님은 꽃들이 어떻게 된 건지 몹시 의아해할 거야!"
"But how can one flower tell another? Flowers cannot speak?"
"하지만 꽃이 어떻게 다른 꽃에게 말을 전할 수 있어요? 꽃들은 말을 할 수 없잖아요?"
"No, certainly not," replied the student; "but they can make signs.
"그렇지, 물론 말은 못 하지," 학생이 대답했다. "하지만 그들은 신호를 보낼 수 있어.
Have you not often seen that when the wind blows they nod at one another, and rustle all their green leaves?"
바람이 불 때 꽃들이 서로 고개를 끄덕이고, 초록 잎들을 살랑살랑 흔드는 걸 자주 본 적 없어?"
"Can the professor understand the signs?" asked Ida.
"교수님이 그 신호를 이해할 수 있어요?" 이다가 물었다.
"Yes, to be sure he can.
"그럼, 물론이지.
He went one morning into his garden, and saw a stinging nettle making signs with its leaves to a beautiful red carnation.
어느 날 아침 교수님이 정원에 들어갔다가, 쐐기풀 한 포기가 잎으로 아름다운 붉은 카네이션에게 신호를 보내는 것을 보았어.
It was saying, 'You are so pretty, I like you very much.'
쐐기풀은 '당신은 정말 예쁘군요, 나는 당신이 매우 좋아요.'라고 말하고 있었던 거야.
But the professor did not approve of such nonsense, so he clapped his hands on the nettle to stop it.
하지만 교수님은 그런 어리석은 짓을 못마땅하게 여겨서, 쐐기풀을 손으로 탁 쳐서 멈추려 했어.
Then the leaves, which are its fingers, stung him so sharply that he has never ventured to touch a nettle since."
그러자 잎들이, 그러니까 쐐기풀의 손가락들이 그를 얼마나 따갑게 쏘았는지, 그 이후로 교수님은 쐐기풀을 감히 건드리지 못하게 되었대."
"Oh how funny!" said Ida, and she laughed.
"오, 정말 웃기다!" 이다가 말하며 웃었다.
"How can anyone put such notions into a child's head?" said a tiresome lawyer, who had come to pay a visit, and sat on the sofa.
"어떻게 아이의 머릿속에 그런 생각을 집어넣을 수 있단 말이오?" 방문하러 왔다가 소파에 앉아 있던 지루한 변호사가 말했다.
