Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1309
That all!" said the mouse-king; "then we shall be glad to hear what information the next may have to give us."
"그게 전부야!" 쥐 왕이 말했다. "그럼 다음 쥐가 우리에게 어떤 정보를 줄지 기꺼이 들어보겠다."
WHAT THE SECOND MOUSE HAD TO TELL
두 번째 쥐가 들려줄 이야기
"I was born in the library, at a castle," said the second mouse.
"저는 성에 있는 도서관에서 태어났어요," 두 번째 쥐가 말했다.
Very few members of our family ever had the good fortune to get into the dining-room, much less the store-room.
우리 가족 중에 식당에 들어가는 행운을 누린 이는 거의 없었고, 식료품 저장실은 말할 것도 없었죠.
On my journey, and here to-day, are the only times I have ever seen a kitchen.
여행 중에, 그리고 오늘 여기서가 제가 부엌을 본 유일한 때였어요.
We were often obliged to suffer hunger in the library, but then we gained a great deal of knowledge.
우리는 도서관에서 배고픔을 참아야 할 때가 많았지만, 그 덕분에 많은 지식을 얻었답니다.
The rumor reached us of the royal prize offered to those who should be able to make soup from a sausage skewer.
소시지 꼬챙이로 수프를 만들 수 있는 자에게 왕실의 상을 내린다는 소문이 우리에게까지 들려왔어요.
Then my old grandmother sought out a manuscript which, however, she could not read, but had heard it read, and in it was written, 'Those who are poets can make soup of sausage skewers.'
그러자 우리 늙은 할머니가 필사본을 하나 찾아냈는데, 할머니는 그것을 읽을 수는 없었지만 읽어주는 것을 들은 적이 있었고, 거기에는 '시인인 자는 소시지 꼬챙이로 수프를 만들 수 있다'라고 쓰여 있었죠.
She then asked me if I was a poet.
그러고는 할머니가 제게 시인이냐고 물었어요.
I felt myself quite innocent of any such pretensions.
저는 그런 자질이 전혀 없다고 느꼈어요.
Then she said I must go out and make myself a poet.
그러자 할머니는 제가 나가서 시인이 되어야 한다고 말했어요.
I asked again what I should be required to do, for it seemed to me quite as difficult as to find out how to make soup of a sausage skewer.
저는 무엇을 해야 하는지 다시 물었는데, 소시지 꼬챙이로 수프 만드는 법을 알아내는 것만큼이나 어렵게 느껴졌거든요.
My grandmother had heard a great deal of reading in her day, and she told me three principal qualifications were necessary--understanding, imagination, and feeling.
할머니는 살면서 많은 글을 읽어주는 것을 들으셨는데, 세 가지 주요한 자질이 필요하다고 말씀해 주셨어요 -- 이해력, 상상력, 그리고 감수성이라고요.
