Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 911
And in the midst of the pleasure that was afforded by the mere meeting of these folks, there shot up out of the great dirt-heap at Amack a stem, a tree, an immense flower, a great mushroom, a perfect roof, which formed a sort of warehouse for the worthy company, for in it hung everything they had given to the world during the Old Year.
그리고 이 사람들의 만남만으로도 생겨나는 즐거움 한가운데에서, 아마크의 거대한 쓰레기 더미 위로 줄기 하나, 나무 하나, 거대한 꽃 하나, 커다란 버섯 하나, 완벽한 지붕 하나가 솟아올랐는데, 그것은 그 훌륭한 일행을 위한 일종의 창고를 이루었으니, 그 안에는 그들이 묵은 해 동안 세상에 내놓았던 모든 것이 걸려 있었기 때문이다.
Out of the tree poured sparks like flames of fire; these were the ideas and thoughts, borrowed from others, which they had used, and which now got free and rushed away like so many fireworks.
나무에서는 불꽃 같은 불티들이 쏟아져 나왔는데, 이것들은 그들이 다른 이들에게서 빌려 사용했던 생각과 사상들로, 이제 자유로워져 수많은 불꽃놀이처럼 달아나고 있었다.
They played at 'the stick burns,' and the young poets played at 'heart-burns,' and the witlings played off their jests, and the jests rolled away with a thundering sound, as if empty pots were being shattered against doors.
그들은 '막대기가 탄다' 놀이를 했고, 젊은 시인들은 '가슴이 탄다' 놀이를 했으며, 재치꾼들은 농담을 늘어놓았는데, 그 농담들은 마치 빈 항아리들이 문에 부딪혀 깨지는 것처럼 우레 같은 소리를 내며 굴러갔다.
'It was very amusing!' my niece said; in fact, she said many things that were very malicious but very amusing, but I won't mention them, for a man must be good-natured, and not a carping critic.
'정말 재미있었어요!' 내 조카딸이 말했다. 사실 그녀는 매우 심술궂지만 매우 재미있는 말들을 많이 했지만, 나는 그것들을 언급하지 않을 것이다. 사람이란 착한 마음씨를 지녀야 하고, 트집 잡는 비평가가 되어서는 안 되기 때문이다.
But you will easily perceive that when a man once knows the rights of the journey to Amack, as I know them, it's quite natural that on the New Year's night one should look out to see the wild chase go by.
하지만 내가 아는 것처럼 누군가 아마크로의 여정에 대한 진실을 한번 알게 되면, 새해 첫날 밤에 거친 행렬이 지나가는 것을 보려고 밖을 내다보는 것이 지극히 자연스럽다는 것을 당신도 쉽게 이해할 것이다.
