Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 559
perhaps a burning match might be some good, if she could draw it from the bundle and strike it against the wall, just to warm her fingers.
어쩌면 타고 있는 성냥 한 개비가 도움이 될지도 모른다고 생각했다. 묶음에서 하나를 꺼내 벽에 그어서 손가락을 조금이나마 녹일 수 있다면.
She drew one out-"scratch!" how it sputtered as it burnt!
그녀는 성냥 하나를 꺼냈다. "쫙!" 타오르면서 얼마나 탁탁 소리를 내며 튀었는지!
It gave a warm, bright light, like a little candle, as she held her hand over it.
그녀가 손을 그 위에 가져다 대자, 작은 촛불처럼 따뜻하고 밝은 빛이 났다.
It was really a wonderful light.
그것은 정말로 놀라운 빛이었다.
It seemed to the little girl that she was sitting by a large iron stove, with polished brass feet and a brass ornament.
어린 소녀에게는 자신이 광택 나는 놋쇠 발과 놋쇠 장식이 달린 커다란 쇠 난로 옆에 앉아 있는 것처럼 느껴졌다.
How the fire burned! and seemed so beautifully warm that the child stretched out her feet as if to warm them, when, lo! the flame of the match went out, the stove vanished, and she had only the remains of the half-burnt match in her hand.
불길이 얼마나 활활 타오르던지! 너무나 아름답게 따뜻해 보여서 아이는 발을 녹이려는 듯 발을 쭉 뻗었다. 그런데, 이런! 성냥불이 꺼지고, 난로는 사라졌으며, 그녀의 손에는 반쯤 탄 성냥의 잔해만 남아 있었다.
She rubbed another match on the wall.
그녀는 또 다른 성냥을 벽에 그었다.
It burst into a flame, and where its light fell upon the wall it became as transparent as a veil, and she could see into the room.
성냥은 불꽃을 일으키며 타올랐고, 그 빛이 벽에 닿은 곳은 베일처럼 투명해져서 그녀는 방 안을 들여다볼 수 있었다.
The table was covered with a snowy white table-cloth, on which stood a splendid dinner service, and a steaming roast goose, stuffed with apples and dried plums.
식탁에는 눈처럼 하얀 식탁보가 덮여 있었고, 그 위에는 훌륭한 식기들과 함께 사과와 말린 자두를 넣고 구운 김이 모락모락 나는 거위 구이가 놓여 있었다.
And what was still more wonderful, the goose jumped down from the dish and waddled across the floor, with a knife and fork in its breast, to the little girl.
그리고 더욱 놀라운 것은, 거위가 접시에서 뛰어내려 가슴에 나이프와 포크를 꽂은 채 뒤뚱뒤뚱 바닥을 가로질러 어린 소녀에게로 걸어왔다는 것이다.
Then the match went out, and there remained nothing but the thick, damp, cold wall before her.
그때 성냥불이 꺼졌고, 그녀 앞에는 두껍고 축축하며 차가운 벽만이 남아 있었다.
