Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1321
So I hastened to get away, that I might be home in time, and bring what was highest and best, and above everything--namely, the truth.
그래서 저는 서둘러 자리를 떠났습니다. 제때 집에 돌아와서 가장 높고 가장 훌륭한 것, 그리고 무엇보다도 중요한 것, 즉 진실을 가져오기 위해서였습니다.
The mice are an enlightened people, and the mouse-king is above them all.
쥐들은 계몽된 민족이며, 쥐 왕은 그들 모두의 위에 있습니다.
He is therefore capable of making me queen for the sake of truth."
따라서 그분은 진실을 위해 저를 여왕으로 삼을 능력이 있으십니다."
"Your truth is a falsehood," said the mouse who had not yet spoken; "I can prepare the soup, and I mean to do so."
"당신의 진실은 거짓입니다," 아직 말하지 않았던 쥐가 말했습니다. "저는 수프를 만들 수 있으며, 그렇게 할 작정입니다."
HOW IT WAS PREPARED
그것이 어떻게 준비되었는가
"I did not travel," said the third mouse; "I stayed in this country: that was the right way.
"저는 여행하지 않았습니다," 세 번째 쥐가 말했습니다. "저는 이 나라에 머물렀습니다. 그것이 올바른 방법이었습니다.
One gains nothing by travelling--everything can be acquired here quite as easily; so I stayed at home.
여행을 해도 아무것도 얻을 수 없습니다. 모든 것은 여기서도 충분히 쉽게 얻을 수 있습니다. 그래서 저는 집에 머물렀습니다.
I have not obtained what I know from supernatural beings.
저는 제가 아는 것을 초자연적인 존재들로부터 얻지 않았습니다.
I have neither swallowed it, nor learnt it from conversing with owls.
저는 그것을 삼키지도 않았고, 올빼미들과 대화하면서 배우지도 않았습니다.
I have got it all from my reflections and thoughts.
저는 그 모든 것을 제 성찰과 생각으로부터 얻었습니다.
Will you now set the kettle on the fire--so?
이제 주전자를 불 위에 올려놓겠습니까, 이렇게요?
Now pour the water in--quite full--up to the brim; place it on the fire; make up a good blaze; keep it burning, that the water may boil; it must boil over and over.
이제 물을 부으세요, 가득, 가장자리까지. 불 위에 올려놓으세요. 불꽃을 좋게 피우세요. 계속 타오르게 하여 물이 끓도록 하세요. 계속해서 펄펄 끓어야 합니다.
There, now I throw in the skewer.
자, 이제 저는 꼬챙이를 던져 넣겠습니다.
Will the mouse-king be pleased now to dip his tail into the boiling water, and stir it round with the tail.
쥐 왕께서 이제 끓는 물에 꼬리를 담그시고, 꼬리로 저어주시겠습니까?
The longer the king stirs it, the stronger the soup will become.
왕께서 오래 저으실수록, 수프는 더욱 진해질 것입니다.
Nothing more is necessary, only to stir it."
더 이상 필요한 것은 없습니다, 그저 저으시기만 하면 됩니다."
"Can no one else do this?" asked the king.
"다른 누구도 이것을 할 수 없습니까?" 왕이 물었습니다.
