You cannot answer that," said the princess.

"당신은 그것에 답할 수 없어요," 공주가 말했습니다.

"I learnt something about it in my childhood," he replied; "and believe that even my very shadow, standing over there by the door, could answer it."

"저는 어린 시절에 그것에 대해 조금 배웠습니다," 그가 대답했습니다. "그리고 저기 문 옆에 서 있는 제 그림자조차도 그것에 답할 수 있다고 믿습니다."

"Your shadow," said the princess; "indeed that would be very remarkable."

"당신의 그림자라고요," 공주가 말했습니다. "그것은 정말 놀라운 일이겠군요."

"I do not say so positively," observed the shadow; "but I am inclined to believe that he can do so.

"저는 그것을 단정적으로 말하는 것이 아닙니다," 그림자가 말했습니다. "하지만 저는 그가 그렇게 할 수 있다고 믿는 편입니다.

He has followed me for so many years, and has heard so much from me, that I think it is very likely.

그는 수많은 세월 동안 저를 따라다니며 저에게서 많은 것을 들어왔으므로, 저는 그럴 가능성이 매우 높다고 생각합니다.

But your royal highness must allow me to observe, that he is very proud of being considered a man, and to put him in a good humor, so that he may answer correctly, he must be treated as a man."

하지만 전하께서는 제가 한 가지 말씀드리는 것을 허락해 주셔야 합니다. 그는 사람으로 여겨지는 것을 매우 자랑스럽게 생각하며, 그가 올바르게 대답할 수 있도록 기분을 좋게 해주려면 그를 사람으로 대우해야 합니다."

"I shall be very pleased to do so," said the princess.

"그렇게 하게 되어 매우 기쁠 것입니다," 공주가 말했습니다.

So she walked up to the learned man, who stood in the doorway, and spoke to him of the sun, and the moon, of the green forests, and of people near home and far off; and the learned man conversed with her pleasantly and sensibly.

그래서 그녀는 문간에 서 있는 학자에게 다가가 태양과 달, 푸른 숲, 그리고 가까이 있는 사람들과 멀리 있는 사람들에 대해 이야기했습니다. 학자는 그녀와 즐겁고 분별 있게 대화를 나누었습니다.

"What a wonderful man he must be, to have such a clever shadow!" thought she.

"이렇게 영리한 그림자를 가지고 있다니, 그는 얼마나 훌륭한 사람임에 틀림없을까!" 그녀는 생각했습니다.

"If I were to choose him it would be a real blessing to my country and my subjects, and I will do it."

"만약 내가 그를 선택한다면 그것은 나의 나라와 신하들에게 진정한 축복이 될 것이며, 나는 그렇게 할 것이다."
