Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 807
Now there was great sorrow, as the bird could only be allowed to play once a year; and even that was dangerous for the works inside it.
이제 큰 슬픔이 찾아왔으니, 그 새는 일 년에 단 한 번만 연주하도록 허락되었고, 그것조차도 내부 장치에 위험한 일이었기 때문이었습니다.
Then the music-master made a little speech, full of hard words, and declared that the bird was as good as ever; and, of course no one contradicted him.
그러자 음악 선생이 어려운 말들로 가득 찬 짧은 연설을 하며, 새는 여전히 예전만큼 훌륭하다고 선언했습니다. 물론 아무도 그에게 반박하지 않았습니다.
Five years passed, and then a real grief came upon the land.
오 년이 지나고, 진정한 슬픔이 그 나라를 찾아왔습니다.
The Chinese really were fond of their emperor, and he now lay so ill that he was not expected to live.
중국 사람들은 정말로 황제를 사랑했는데, 황제는 이제 살아날 가망이 없을 만큼 몹시 아파 누워 있었습니다.
Already a new emperor had been chosen and the people who stood in the street asked the lord-in-waiting how the old emperor was; but he only said, "Pooh!" and shook his head.
이미 새 황제가 선택되었고, 거리에 서 있던 사람들은 시종장에게 늙은 황제의 상태를 물었습니다. 그러나 그는 그저 "흥!" 하고 고개를 흔들 뿐이었습니다.
Cold and pale lay the emperor in his royal bed; the whole court thought he was dead, and every one ran away to pay homage to his successor.
황제는 차갑고 창백하게 왕실 침대에 누워 있었습니다. 온 조정이 그가 죽었다고 생각했고, 모든 사람이 후계자에게 경의를 표하러 달려갔습니다.
The chamberlains went out to have a talk on the matter, and the ladies'-maids invited company to take coffee.
시종들은 그 문제에 대해 이야기를 나누러 밖으로 나갔고, 시녀들은 손님들을 불러 커피를 마셨습니다.
Cloth had been laid down on the halls and passages, so that not a footstep should be heard, and all was silent and still.
발소리가 전혀 들리지 않도록 복도와 통로에 천이 깔렸고, 모든 것이 조용하고 고요했습니다.
But the emperor was not yet dead, although he lay white and stiff on his gorgeous bed, with the long velvet curtains and heavy gold tassels.
그러나 황제는 아직 죽지 않았습니다. 비록 그가 긴 벨벳 커튼과 묵직한 금빛 술 장식이 달린 화려한 침대 위에 하얗고 굳은 채로 누워 있었지만 말입니다.
A window stood open, and the moon shone in upon the emperor and the artificial bird.
창문 하나가 열려 있었고, 달빛이 황제와 인공 새 위로 흘러들었습니다.
