Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1326
Yes, it is a delightful place; there is nothing to do all day long but eat, and while we are so well off out there, in this country there will not be a single green leaf on the trees, and the weather will be so cold that the clouds will freeze, and fall on the earth in little white rags.
그래, 그곳은 정말 즐거운 곳이란다. 하루 종일 먹는 것 말고는 아무것도 할 필요가 없고, 우리가 그곳에서 그렇게 잘 지내는 동안, 이 나라에서는 나무에 초록 잎 하나 남지 않을 거야. 날씨는 너무 추워서 구름이 얼어붙어 작은 하얀 조각들로 땅 위에 떨어지게 될 거란다.
The stork meant snow, but she could not explain it in any other way.
황새는 눈을 말하는 것이었지만, 달리 설명할 방법이 없었다.
"Will the naughty boys freeze and fall in pieces?" asked the young storks.
"못된 남자아이들도 얼어서 산산조각이 나나요?" 어린 황새들이 물었다.
"No, they will not freeze and fall into pieces," said the mother, "but they will be very cold, and be obliged to sit all day in a dark, gloomy room, while we shall be flying about in foreign lands, where there are blooming flowers and warm sunshine."
"아니, 그 아이들은 얼어서 산산조각이 나지는 않을 거야," 어미가 말했다. "하지만 그 아이들은 매우 춥게 지내며 하루 종일 어둡고 침침한 방 안에 앉아 있어야 하겠지. 그동안 우리는 꽃이 활짝 피고 따뜻한 햇살이 내리쬐는 먼 나라 하늘을 날아다닐 거란다."
Time passed on, and the young storks grew so large that they could stand upright in the nest and look about them.
시간이 흘러, 어린 황새들은 둥지 안에서 똑바로 서서 주위를 둘러볼 수 있을 만큼 크게 자랐다.
The father brought them, every day, beautiful frogs, little snakes, and all kinds of stork-dainties that he could find.
아비 황새는 매일 그들에게 아름다운 개구리, 작은 뱀, 그리고 찾을 수 있는 온갖 종류의 황새 별미들을 가져다주었다.
And then, how funny it was to see the tricks he would perform to amuse them.
그리고 그가 새끼들을 즐겁게 해주려고 부리는 재주들을 보는 것은 참으로 우스꽝스러웠다.
He would lay his head quite round over his tail, and clatter with his beak, as if it had been a rattle; and then he would tell them stories all about the marshes and fens.
그는 머리를 꼬리 위로 완전히 돌려 얹고, 마치 딸랑이처럼 부리를 달그락거렸다. 그러고는 늪지와 습지에 관한 이야기들을 새끼들에게 들려주곤 했다.
"Come," said the mother one day, "Now you must learn to fly."
"자," 어느 날 어미가 말했다. "이제 너희는 나는 법을 배워야 한단다."
