Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1287
And so the Snowdrop was put back into the book, and felt equally honored and pleased to know that it was a token in the glorious book of songs, and that he who was the first to sing and to write had been also a snowdrop, had been a summer gauk, and had been looked upon in the winter-time as a fool.
그리하여 스노드롭은 다시 책 속에 놓이게 되었고, 자신이 영광스러운 노래책 속의 하나의 표시였다는 것을, 그리고 가장 먼저 노래하고 글을 쓴 그 사람도 스노드롭이었으며, 여름의 뻐꾸기였고, 겨울에는 바보 취급을 받았다는 것을 알게 되어 똑같이 영광스럽고 기쁘게 느꼈습니다.
The Flower understood this, in her way, as we interpret everything in our way.
꽃은 이것을 자신만의 방식으로 이해했는데, 마치 우리가 모든 것을 우리만의 방식으로 해석하듯이 말입니다.
That is the story of the Snowdrop.
이것이 스노드롭의 이야기입니다.
SOMETHING
무언가
"I mean to be somebody, and do something useful in the world," said the eldest of five brothers.
"나는 누군가가 되어 세상에서 유익한 일을 할 작정이야," 다섯 형제 중 맏이가 말했습니다.
"I don't care how humble my position is, so that I can only do some good, which will be something.
"내 지위가 얼마나 보잘것없든 상관없어, 조금이라도 좋은 일을 할 수 있다면 그것으로 충분하니까.
I intend to be a brickmaker; bricks are always wanted, and I shall be really doing something."
나는 벽돌 제조공이 될 생각이야. 벽돌은 항상 필요하고, 나는 정말로 무언가를 하는 셈이 될 거야."
"Your 'something' is not enough for me," said the second brother; "what you talk of doing is nothing at all, it is journeyman's work, or might even be done by a machine.
"네가 말하는 '무언가'는 나에게 충분하지 않아," 둘째 형제가 말했습니다. "네가 말하는 일은 아무것도 아니야, 그건 직인의 일이거나 기계로도 할 수 있는 일이야.
No! I should prefer to be a builder at once, there is something real in that.
아니! 나는 차라리 당장 건축가가 되겠어, 거기에는 진짜 의미 있는 무언가가 있거든.
A man gains a position, he becomes a citizen, has his own sign, his own house of call for his workmen: so I shall be a builder.
사람은 지위를 얻고, 시민이 되고, 자신의 간판을 갖고, 일꾼들을 위한 자신의 집합소를 갖게 되지. 그래서 나는 건축가가 될 거야.
If all goes well, in time I shall become a master, and have my own journeymen, and my wife will be treated as a master's wife.
모든 일이 잘 풀린다면, 때가 되어 나는 장인이 되고, 나만의 직인들을 거느리게 될 것이며, 내 아내는 장인의 아내로 대우받을 거야.
This is what I call something."
이것이야말로 내가 말하는 무언가야."
