Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 575
The mermaid kissed his high, smooth forehead, and stroked back his wet hair; he seemed to her like the marble statue in her little garden, and she kissed him again, and wished that he might live.
인어는 그의 높고 매끄러운 이마에 입을 맞추고, 젖은 머리카락을 쓸어 넘겨 주었다. 그는 그녀에게 마치 그녀의 작은 정원에 있는 대리석 조각상처럼 보였고, 그녀는 다시 그에게 입을 맞추며 그가 살아나기를 바랐다.
Presently they came in sight of land; she saw lofty blue mountains, on which the white snow rested as if a flock of swans were lying upon them.
이윽고 그들은 육지가 보이는 곳에 이르렀다. 그녀는 높고 푸른 산들을 보았는데, 그 위에는 마치 백조 떼가 누워 있는 것처럼 흰 눈이 쌓여 있었다.
Near the coast were beautiful green forests, and close by stood a large building, whether a church or a convent she could not tell.
해안 근처에는 아름다운 초록빛 숲이 있었고, 그 가까이에는 커다란 건물이 서 있었는데, 그것이 교회인지 수도원인지 그녀는 알 수 없었다.
Orange and citron trees grew in the garden, and before the door stood lofty palms.
정원에는 오렌지 나무와 시트론 나무가 자라고 있었고, 문 앞에는 높다란 야자나무들이 서 있었다.
The sea here formed a little bay, in which the water was quite still, but very deep; so she swam with the handsome prince to the beach, which was covered with fine, white sand, and there she laid him in the warm sunshine, taking care to raise his head higher than his body.
이곳의 바다는 작은 만을 이루고 있었는데, 그 안의 물은 매우 잔잔하지만 깊었다. 그래서 그녀는 잘생긴 왕자를 데리고 고운 흰 모래로 덮인 해변까지 헤엄쳐 가서, 그의 머리가 몸보다 높이 올라가도록 주의하며 따뜻한 햇살 아래에 그를 눕혔다.
Then bells sounded in the large white building, and a number of young girls came into the garden.
그때 큰 하얀 건물에서 종소리가 울려 퍼졌고, 여러 명의 젊은 소녀들이 정원으로 나왔다.
The little mermaid swam out farther from the shore and placed herself between some high rocks that rose out of the water; then she covered her head and neck with the foam of the sea so that her little face might not be seen, and watched to see what would become of the poor prince.
작은 인어는 해안에서 더 멀리 헤엄쳐 나가 물 위로 솟아오른 높은 바위들 사이에 자리를 잡았다. 그런 다음 자신의 작은 얼굴이 보이지 않도록 바다 거품으로 머리와 목을 덮고, 가련한 왕자에게 어떤 일이 일어날지 지켜보았다.
She did not wait long before she saw a young girl approach the spot where he lay.
그녀는 오래 기다리지 않아 한 젊은 소녀가 왕자가 누워 있는 곳으로 다가오는 것을 보았다.
