SECOND VISIT
두 번째 방문
It was New Year's day, and I went up on the tower.
새해 첫날이었고, 나는 탑 위로 올라갔다.
Ole spoke of the toasts that were drunk on the transition from the Old Year into the New--from one grave into the other, as he said.
올레는 묵은해에서 새해로 넘어가는 시점에, 그의 말대로 하자면 한 무덤에서 다른 무덤으로 넘어가는 시점에 나누는 건배에 대해 이야기했다.
And he told me a story about the glasses, and this story had a very deep meaning.
그리고 그는 나에게 잔에 관한 이야기를 들려주었는데, 이 이야기에는 매우 깊은 의미가 담겨 있었다.
It was this:
이야기는 다음과 같았다:
"When on the New Year's night the clock strikes twelve, the people at the table rise up with full glasses in their hands, and drain these glasses, and drink success to the New Year.
"새해 전날 밤 시계가 열두 시를 알리면, 식탁에 앉은 사람들은 가득 찬 잔을 손에 들고 일어나 그 잔을 비우며 새해의 성공을 위해 건배한다.
They begin the year with the glass in their hands; that is a good beginning for drunkards.
그들은 손에 잔을 들고 한 해를 시작한다. 그것은 술꾼들에게는 좋은 출발이다.
They begin the New Year by going to bed, and that's a good beginning for drones.
그들은 잠자리에 들면서 새해를 시작한다. 그것은 게으름뱅이들에게는 좋은 출발이다.
Sleep is sure to play a great part in the New Year, and the glass likewise.
잠은 틀림없이 새해에 큰 역할을 할 것이고, 잔도 마찬가지다.
Do you know what dwells in the glass?" asked Ole.
"잔 속에 무엇이 깃들어 있는지 아십니까?"라고 올레가 물었다.
"I will tell you.
"제가 말씀드리겠습니다.
There dwell in the glass, first, health, and then pleasure, then the most complete sensual delight; and misfortune and the bitterest woe dwell in the glass also.
잔 속에는 먼저 건강이 깃들어 있고, 그다음에는 즐거움, 그리고 가장 완전한 감각적 쾌락이 있습니다. 또한 불행과 가장 쓰라린 비탄도 잔 속에 깃들어 있습니다.
Now, suppose we count the glasses--of course I count the different degrees in the glasses for different people.
자, 이제 잔들을 세어 봅시다. 물론 저는 사람마다 다른 잔의 단계들을 세는 것입니다.
"You see, the first glass, that's the glass of health, and in that the herb of health is found growing.
"보십시오, 첫 번째 잔은 건강의 잔으로, 그 안에서 건강의 약초가 자라고 있습니다.
Put it up on the beam in the ceiling, and at the end of the year you may be sitting in the arbor of health.
그것을 천장 들보 위에 올려두면, 연말에는 건강의 정자 안에 앉아 있게 될 것입니다.
