Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1188
But--it really is not pride on my part, as a free man and possessing the knowledge that I do, besides my position, not to speak of my wealth--I wish you would say you to me instead of thou.
하지만--제 입장에서는 정말 자존심의 문제가 아닙니다, 자유인으로서 제가 가진 지식을 갖추고, 제 지위는 말할 것도 없고 재산까지 있는 마당에--저에게 '너'가 아닌 '당신'이라고 불러주셨으면 합니다.
"I beg your pardon," said the learned man; "it is an old habit, which it is difficult to break.
"죄송합니다," 학자가 말했다. "그것은 오래된 습관이라 고치기가 어렵습니다.
You are quite right; I will try to think of it.
당신 말이 맞습니다. 마음에 새기도록 노력하겠습니다.
But now tell me everything that you saw."
그런데 이제 당신이 본 것을 모두 말해 주십시오."
"Everything," said the shadow; "for I saw and know everything."
"모든 것을요," 그림자가 말했다. "저는 모든 것을 보았고 알고 있으니까요."
"What was the appearance of the inner rooms?" asked the scholar.
"안쪽 방들은 어떤 모습이었습니까?" 학자가 물었다.
"Was it there like a cool grove, or like a holy temple?
"그곳은 시원한 숲 같았습니까, 아니면 신성한 신전 같았습니까?
Were the chambers like a starry sky seen from the top of a high mountain?"
방들은 높은 산 꼭대기에서 바라본 별이 가득한 하늘 같았습니까?"
"It was all that you describe," said the shadow; "but I did not go quite in--I remained in the twilight of the ante-room--but I was in a very good position,--I could see and hear all that was going on in the court of poetry."
"당신이 묘사한 것 모두 그러했습니다," 그림자가 말했다. "하지만 저는 완전히 들어가지는 않았습니다--대기실의 어스름 속에 머물렀습니다--그러나 저는 아주 좋은 위치에 있었습니다,--시의 궁정에서 일어나는 모든 것을 보고 들을 수 있었습니다."
"But what did you see? Did the gods of ancient times pass through the rooms?
"그런데 무엇을 보았습니까? 고대의 신들이 방을 지나쳐 갔습니까?
Did old heroes fight their battles over again?
옛 영웅들이 그들의 전투를 다시 벌였습니까?
Were there lovely children at play, who related their dreams?"
꿈 이야기를 나누는 사랑스러운 아이들이 놀고 있었습니까?"
"I tell you I have been there, and therefore you may be sure that I saw everything that was to be seen.
"제가 그곳에 있었다고 말씀드리지 않습니까, 그러니 볼 수 있는 모든 것을 보았다고 확신하셔도 됩니다.
