Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1289
Not in my opinion," said the fourth; "I will never follow the lead of others, and only imitate what they have done.
"내 생각은 그렇지 않소," 넷째가 말했다. "나는 절대 남들의 선례를 따르거나 그들이 한 것을 모방하지 않을 것이오.
I will be a genius, and become greater than all of you together.
나는 천재가 될 것이며, 여러분 모두를 합친 것보다 더 위대해질 것이오.
I will create a new style of building, and introduce a plan for erecting houses suitable to the climate, with material easily obtained in the country, and thus suit national feeling and the developments of the age, besides building a storey for my own genius."
나는 새로운 건축 양식을 창조하고, 기후에 맞는 집을 짓기 위한 계획을 도입할 것이오. 이 나라에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 재료를 사용하여 민족적 정서와 시대의 발전에 부합하게 하고, 거기에 내 천재성을 위한 층을 하나 더 올릴 것이오."
"But supposing the climate and the material are not good for much," said the fifth brother, "that would be very unfortunate for you, and have an influence over your experiments.
"하지만 기후와 재료가 별로 좋지 않다면," 다섯째 형제가 말했다. "그것은 형에게 매우 불운한 일이 될 것이고, 형의 실험에도 영향을 미칠 것이오.
Nationality may assert itself until it becomes affectation, and the developments of a century may run wild, as youth often does.
민족성이란 것은 자기주장을 하다 보면 결국 허식이 되어버릴 수도 있고, 한 세기의 발전이라는 것도 젊음이 흔히 그러하듯 걷잡을 수 없이 흘러갈 수 있소.
I see clearly that none of you will ever really be anything worth notice, however you may now fancy it.
나는 여러분 중 누구도 지금 아무리 그렇게 생각할지라도 실제로 주목받을 만한 존재가 되지 못할 것임을 분명히 알겠소.
But do as you like, I shall not imitate you.
하지만 하고 싶은 대로 하시오, 나는 여러분을 모방하지 않을 것이오.
I mean to keep clear of all these things, and criticize what you do.
나는 이 모든 것들과 거리를 두고, 여러분이 하는 일을 비평할 생각이오.
In every action something imperfect may be discovered, something not right, which I shall make it my business to find out and expose; that will be something, I fancy."
모든 행동에는 불완전한 것, 옳지 않은 것이 발견될 수 있으며, 그것을 찾아내어 드러내는 것을 내 일로 삼을 것이오. 그것도 꽤 괜찮은 일이라 생각하오."
And he kept his word, and became a critic.
그리고 그는 자신의 말을 지켜, 비평가가 되었다.
People said of this fifth brother, "There is something very precise about him; he has a good head-piece, but he does nothing."
사람들은 이 다섯째 형제에 대해 이렇게 말했다. "그는 매우 꼼꼼한 면이 있어. 머리는 좋은데, 아무것도 하지 않는단 말이야."
And on that very account they thought he must be something.
그리고 바로 그 이유 때문에 사람들은 그가 분명 대단한 인물일 것이라고 생각했다.
