Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 654
Then there is the desert; if you went there, your eyes would soon be full of sand with the lightest breeze, and if it should blow great guns, you would most likely find yourself in a sand-drift.
그리고 또 사막이 있지요. 만약 거기에 갔다면, 가장 가벼운 바람에도 눈이 곧 모래로 가득 찰 것이고, 만약 강한 바람이 분다면, 아마도 모래바람 속에 갇혀 있는 자신을 발견하게 될 것입니다.
Here is the best place for you, where there are frogs and locusts; here I shall remain, and so must you."
여기가 당신에게 가장 좋은 곳이에요. 개구리와 메뚜기가 있는 이곳에서 나는 머물 것이고, 당신도 그래야 합니다."
And so they stayed.
그리하여 그들은 그곳에 머물렀습니다.
The parents sat in the nest on the slender minaret, and rested, yet still were busily employed in cleaning and smoothing their feathers, and in sharpening their beaks against their red stockings;
부모 황새들은 가느다란 첨탑 위의 둥지에 앉아 쉬면서도, 깃털을 다듬고 정리하고, 빨간 다리에 부리를 갈며 바쁘게 지냈습니다.
then they would stretch out their necks, salute each other, and gravely raise their heads with the high-polished forehead, and soft, smooth feathers, while their brown eyes shone with intelligence.
그런 다음 그들은 목을 길게 뻗고 서로에게 인사를 하며, 윤기 나는 이마와 부드럽고 매끄러운 깃털을 가진 머리를 엄숙하게 들어 올렸고, 그들의 갈색 눈은 지성으로 빛났습니다.
The female young ones strutted about amid the moist rushes, glancing at the other young storks and making acquaintances, and swallowing a frog at every third step, or tossing a little snake about with their beaks, in a way they considered very becoming, and besides it tasted very good.
어린 암컷 황새들은 축축한 갈대 사이를 활보하며 다른 어린 황새들을 곁눈질하고 친분을 쌓으면서, 세 걸음마다 개구리를 삼키거나 부리로 작은 뱀을 이리저리 던지곤 했는데, 그것이 매우 우아한 행동이라 여겼고, 게다가 맛도 매우 좋았습니다.
The young male storks soon began to quarrel; they struck at each other with their wings, and pecked with their beaks till the blood came.
어린 수컷 황새들은 곧 싸움을 시작했습니다. 그들은 날개로 서로를 치고, 피가 날 때까지 부리로 쪼았습니다.
And in this manner many of the young ladies and gentlemen were betrothed to each other: it was, of course, what they wanted, and indeed what they lived for.
그리고 이런 식으로 많은 어린 암컷과 수컷 황새들이 서로 약혼하게 되었습니다. 물론 그것은 그들이 원하던 것이었고, 실로 그들이 살아가는 이유였습니다.
Then they returned to a nest, and there the quarrelling began afresh; for in hot countries people are almost all violent and passionate.
그런 다음 그들은 둥지로 돌아갔고, 거기서 다툼이 다시 시작되었습니다. 왜냐하면 더운 나라에서는 사람들이 거의 모두 격렬하고 열정적이기 때문입니다.
