Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 970
Above; in heaven," answers the pious man; "it is there we hope to go."
"위에, 천국에," 경건한 남자가 대답했다. "그곳이 우리가 가기를 희망하는 곳입니다."
"Above!" repeated the wise man, fixing his eyes upon the moon and stars above him.
"위라고!" 현명한 남자가 되뇌었다, 그의 위에 있는 달과 별들에 눈을 고정하면서.
He saw that to this earthly sphere above and below were constantly changing places, and that the position varied according to the spot on which a man found himself.
그는 이 지상의 구체에서 위와 아래가 끊임없이 자리를 바꾸고 있으며, 그 위치는 사람이 자신을 발견하는 장소에 따라 달라진다는 것을 알았다.
He knew, also, that even if he ascended to the top of the highest mountain which rears its lofty summit on this earth, the air, which to us seems clear and transparent, would there be dark and cloudy; the sun would have a coppery glow and send forth no rays, and our earth would lie beneath him wrapped in an orange-colored mist.
그는 또한, 이 지구상에 높은 정상을 치켜든 가장 높은 산의 꼭대기에 올라간다 해도, 우리에게 맑고 투명하게 보이는 공기가 그곳에서는 어둡고 흐릴 것이며, 태양은 구릿빛 광채를 띠고 어떤 빛도 내뿜지 않을 것이고, 우리의 지구는 주황색 안개에 휩싸인 채 그의 아래에 놓여 있을 것임을 알았다.
How narrow are the limits which confine the bodily sight, and how little can be seen by the eye of the soul.
육체의 시야를 가두는 한계는 얼마나 좁으며, 영혼의 눈으로 볼 수 있는 것은 얼마나 적은가.
How little do the wisest among us know of that which is so important to us all.
우리 중 가장 현명한 자들조차 우리 모두에게 그토록 중요한 것에 대해 얼마나 적게 알고 있는가.
In the most secret chamber of the castle lay the greatest treasure on earth--the Book of Truth.
성의 가장 비밀스러운 방에는 지상 최고의 보물인 진리의 책이 놓여 있었다.
The wise man had read it through page after page.
현명한 남자는 그것을 페이지 하나하나 끝까지 읽었다.
Every man may read in this book, but only in fragments.
모든 사람이 이 책을 읽을 수 있지만, 오직 단편적으로만 읽을 수 있다.
To many eyes the characters seem so mixed in confusion that the words cannot be distinguished.
많은 눈에는 글자들이 너무 뒤섞여 혼란스러워 보여서 단어들을 구별할 수 없다.
On certain pages the writing often appears so pale or so blurred that the page becomes a blank.
어떤 페이지에서는 글씨가 너무 희미하거나 너무 흐릿하게 보여서 그 페이지가 빈 것처럼 되어버린다.
The wiser a man becomes, the more he will read, and those who are wisest read most.
사람이 현명해질수록 더 많이 읽게 되고, 가장 현명한 자들이 가장 많이 읽는다.
