Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1325
I will teach you to fly,
나는 너희에게 나는 법을 가르쳐 줄 것이다,
and when you have learnt, we will fly into the meadows, and pay a visit to the frogs, who will bow themselves to us in the water, and cry 'Croak, croak,' and then we shall eat them up; that will be fun.
그리고 너희가 배우고 나면, 우리는 들판으로 날아가서 개구리들을 방문할 것이다. 개구리들은 물속에서 우리에게 머리를 숙이고 '개굴, 개굴' 하고 울 것이고, 그러면 우리는 그들을 잡아먹을 것이다. 정말 재미있을 것이다.
"And what next?" asked the young storks.
"그 다음에는요?" 어린 황새들이 물었다.
"Then," replied the mother, "all the storks in the country will assemble together, and go through their autumn manoeuvres, so that it is very important for every one to know how to fly properly.
"그때," 어미가 대답했다, "이 나라의 모든 황새들이 한데 모여 가을 훈련을 할 것이다. 그러므로 모든 황새가 제대로 나는 법을 아는 것이 매우 중요하다.
If they do not, the general will thrust them through with his beak, and kill them.
만약 그렇지 않으면, 대장이 부리로 그들을 찔러 죽일 것이다.
Therefore you must take pains and learn, so as to be ready when the drilling begins."
그러므로 너희는 열심히 배워서 훈련이 시작될 때 준비가 되어 있어야 한다."
"Then we may be killed after all, as the boys say; and hark! they are singing again."
"그렇다면 결국 우리는 아이들이 말하는 것처럼 죽을 수도 있겠네요. 들어보세요! 그들이 또 노래하고 있어요."
"Listen to me, and not to them," said the mother stork.
"그들의 말이 아닌 내 말을 들어라," 어미 황새가 말했다.
"After the great review is over, we shall fly away to warm countries far from hence, where there are mountains and forests.
"대열 훈련이 끝나면, 우리는 여기서 멀리 떨어진 산과 숲이 있는 따뜻한 나라로 날아갈 것이다.
To Egypt, where we shall see three-cornered houses built of stone, with pointed tops that reach nearly to the clouds.
이집트로 갈 것인데, 거기서 우리는 돌로 지어진 뾰족한 꼭대기가 거의 구름에 닿을 듯한 세 모퉁이의 집들을 볼 것이다.
They are called Pyramids, and are older than a stork could imagine;
그것들은 피라미드라고 불리며, 황새가 상상할 수 있는 것보다 훨씬 오래된 것들이다.
and in that country, there is a river that overflows its banks, and then goes back, leaving nothing but mire; there we can walk about, and eat frogs in abundance."
그리고 그 나라에는 강이 하나 있는데, 강둑을 넘쳐흘렀다가 진흙만 남기고 물러가는 강이다. 거기서 우리는 마음껏 돌아다니며 개구리를 실컷 먹을 수 있다."
"Oh, o--h!" cried the young storks.
"오, 오--!" 어린 황새들이 외쳤다.
