Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 800
Little maiden," said the lord-in-waiting, "I will obtain for you constant employment in the kitchen, and you shall have permission to see the emperor dine, if you will lead us to the nightingale; for she is invited for this evening to the palace."
"어린 아가씨," 시종장이 말했습니다, "네가 우리를 나이팅게일에게 안내해 준다면, 너에게 부엌에서의 일자리를 마련해 주고, 황제께서 식사하시는 것을 볼 수 있는 허락도 얻어 주겠다. 왜냐하면 그녀는 오늘 저녁 궁전에 초대되었거든."
So she went into the wood where the nightingale sang, and half the court followed her.
그래서 그녀는 나이팅게일이 노래하는 숲속으로 들어갔고, 궁중 사람들의 절반이 그녀를 따라갔습니다.
As they went along, a cow began lowing.
그들이 가는 도중에, 소 한 마리가 울기 시작했습니다.
"Oh," said a young courtier, "now we have found her; what wonderful power for such a small creature; I have certainly heard it before."
"오," 한 젊은 신하가 말했습니다, "이제 우리가 그녀를 찾았군요. 이렇게 작은 생물에게서 나오는 놀라운 힘이라니. 저는 분명히 전에도 이 소리를 들은 적이 있습니다."
"No, that is only a cow lowing," said the little girl; "we are a long way from the place yet."
"아니요, 그건 그냥 소가 우는 소리예요," 어린 소녀가 말했습니다. "우리는 아직 그곳에서 한참 멀리 있어요."
Then some frogs began to croak in the marsh.
그때 늪에서 개구리 몇 마리가 울기 시작했습니다.
"Beautiful," said the young courtier again. "Now I hear it, tinkling like little church bells."
"아름답군요," 젊은 신하가 다시 말했습니다. "이제 들리는군요, 작은 교회 종소리처럼 딸랑거리네요."
"No, those are frogs," said the little maiden; "but I think we shall soon hear her now:" and presently the nightingale began to sing.
"아니요, 저건 개구리들이에요," 어린 아가씨가 말했습니다. "하지만 이제 곧 그녀의 소리를 들을 수 있을 것 같아요." 그리고 이윽고 나이팅게일이 노래하기 시작했습니다.
"Hark, hark! there she is," said the girl, "and there she sits," she added, pointing to a little gray bird who was perched on a bough.
"들어봐요, 들어봐요! 저기 있어요," 소녀가 말했습니다. "저기 앉아 있네요," 그녀는 나뭇가지에 앉아 있는 작은 회색 새를 가리키며 덧붙였습니다.
"Is it possible?" said the lord-in-waiting, "I never imagined it would be a little, plain, simple thing like that. She has certainly changed color at seeing so many grand people around her."
"그럴 리가요?" 시종장이 말했습니다. "저는 저렇게 작고 평범하고 단순한 것일 거라고는 전혀 상상하지 못했습니다. 주변에 그렇게 많은 귀한 분들을 보고 분명히 색깔이 변한 것 같군요."
"Little nightingale," cried the girl, raising her voice, "our most gracious emperor wishes you to sing before him."
"작은 나이팅게일이여," 소녀가 목소리를 높여 외쳤습니다. "우리의 가장 자비로우신 황제께서 당신이 그분 앞에서 노래해 주기를 원하십니다."
