Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 952
They heard the song of the priests, and saw the wild dance of the savage to the sound of the drums and trumpets of bone; the pyramids of Egypt rising to the clouds; columns and sphinxes, overthrown and buried in the sand, followed in their turn; while the northern lights flashed out over the extinguished volcanoes of the north, in fireworks none could imitate.
그들은 사제들의 노래를 들었고, 뼈로 만든 북과 나팔 소리에 맞춰 야만인들이 격렬하게 춤추는 것을 보았습니다. 이집트의 피라미드들이 구름까지 솟아오르고, 기둥들과 스핑크스들이 쓰러져 모래 속에 묻히는 장면이 차례로 펼쳐졌습니다. 한편 북쪽의 꺼진 화산들 위로 오로라가 번쩍이며, 누구도 흉내 낼 수 없는 불꽃놀이처럼 빛났습니다.
The prince was delighted, and yet he saw hundreds of other wonderful things more than can be described.
왕자는 매우 기뻤으며, 그러면서도 말로는 다 표현할 수 없는 수백 가지의 놀라운 것들을 더 보았습니다.
"Can I stay here forever?" asked he.
"저는 여기에 영원히 머물 수 있나요?" 왕자가 물었습니다.
"That depends upon yourself," replied the fairy.
"그것은 당신 자신에게 달려 있어요," 요정이 대답했습니다.
"If you do not, like Adam, long for what is forbidden, you can remain here always."
"아담처럼 금지된 것을 탐내지 않는다면, 당신은 여기에 언제까지나 머물 수 있어요."
"I should not touch the fruit on the tree of knowledge," said the prince; "there is abundance of fruit equally beautiful."
"저는 지식의 나무에 달린 열매를 건드리지 않을 것입니다," 왕자가 말했습니다. "똑같이 아름다운 열매가 얼마든지 있으니까요."
"Examine your own heart," said the princess, "and if you do not feel sure of its strength, return with the East Wind who brought you.
"자신의 마음을 잘 살펴보세요," 공주가 말했습니다. "그리고 그 마음이 충분히 강하다는 확신이 서지 않는다면, 당신을 데려온 동풍과 함께 돌아가세요.
He is about to fly back, and will not return here for a hundred years.
그는 곧 날아서 돌아갈 것이며, 백 년 동안은 이곳에 돌아오지 않을 것입니다.
The time will not seem to you more than a hundred hours, yet even that is a long time for temptation and resistance.
그 시간이 당신에게는 백 시간도 안 되는 것처럼 느껴지겠지만, 그래도 유혹과 저항을 견디기에는 긴 시간입니다.
Every evening, when I leave you, I shall be obliged to say, 'Come with me,' and to beckon to you with my hand.
매일 저녁, 제가 당신 곁을 떠날 때, 저는 '나와 함께 가요'라고 말하며 손짓으로 당신을 부르지 않을 수 없을 것입니다.
But you must not listen, nor move from your place to follow me; for with every step you will find your power to resist weaker.
하지만 당신은 그 말을 들어서는 안 되며, 나를 따라 자리를 옮겨서도 안 됩니다. 한 걸음을 내디딜 때마다 저항할 힘이 점점 약해질 것이기 때문입니다.
