Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1106
And now she told him all that we already know about the tree--the old mansion, the pedlar and the goose-girl who had met there for the first time, and had become the ancestors of the noble family to which the young lady belonged.
그리고 이제 그녀는 우리가 이미 알고 있는 나무에 관한 모든 것을 그에게 이야기했습니다--오래된 저택, 행상인과 거위 소녀가 처음으로 만났던 곳, 그리고 그 젊은 아가씨가 속한 귀족 가문의 조상이 된 이야기를.
"They did not like to be knighted, the good old people," she said; "their motto was 'everything in the right place,' and it would not be right, they thought, to purchase a title for money.
"그 선량한 노인들은 기사 작위 받기를 좋아하지 않았어요," 그녀가 말했습니다. "그들의 좌우명은 '모든 것은 제자리에'였고, 돈으로 작위를 사는 것은 옳지 않다고 생각했지요.
My grandfather, the first baron, was their son.
제 할아버지, 첫 번째 남작은 그들의 아들이었습니다.
They say he was a very learned man, a great favourite with the princes and princesses, and was invited to all court festivities.
그는 매우 박식한 사람으로, 왕자들과 공주들에게 큰 총애를 받았으며, 모든 궁중 축제에 초대받았다고 합니다.
The others at home love him best; but, I do not know why, there seemed to me to be something about the old couple that attracts my heart!
집에 있는 다른 사람들은 그를 가장 사랑하지만, 왜인지는 모르겠어도, 저에게는 그 노부부에게서 제 마음을 끄는 무언가가 있는 것 같았습니다!
How homely, how patriarchal, it must have been in the old mansion, where the mistress sat at the spinning-wheel with her maids, while her husband read aloud out of the Bible!"
오래된 저택에서 여주인이 하녀들과 함께 물레 앞에 앉아 있고, 남편이 성경을 소리 내어 읽어주던 그 모습이 얼마나 소박하고, 얼마나 가부장적이었을까요!"
"They must have been excellent, sensible people," said the pastor's son.
"그들은 분명 훌륭하고 분별 있는 사람들이었을 것입니다," 목사의 아들이 말했습니다.
And with this the conversation turned naturally to noblemen and commoners; from the manner in which the tutor spoke about the significance of being noble, it seemed almost as if he did not belong to a commoner's family.
그리고 이와 함께 대화는 자연스럽게 귀족과 평민으로 넘어갔습니다. 가정교사가 귀족의 의미에 대해 말하는 방식을 보면, 마치 그가 평민 가문 출신이 아닌 것처럼 보일 정도였습니다.
"It is good fortune to be of a family who have distinguished themselves, and to possess as it were a spur in oneself to advance to all that is good.
"스스로를 빛낸 가문 출신이라는 것은 행운이며, 말하자면 모든 선한 것을 향해 나아가게 하는 박차를 자신 안에 지니고 있는 것과 같습니다.
