She had come from Scotland, and was of high birth, and was rich in land and in gold--a bride worth winning, said more than one of the young gentlemen; and their lady mothers said the same thing.

그녀는 스코틀랜드에서 왔으며, 높은 가문의 출신이었고, 토지와 황금이 풍부하였다--한 명 이상의 젊은 신사들이 얻을 만한 신부라고 말하였으며, 그들의 어머니들도 같은 말을 하였다.

The young people amused themselves on the lawn, and played at ball; they wandered among the flowers, and each of the young girls broke off a flower, and fastened it in a young gentleman's buttonhole.

젊은이들은 잔디밭에서 즐겁게 놀며 공놀이를 하였고, 꽃들 사이를 거닐었으며, 젊은 아가씨들 각자는 꽃 한 송이를 꺾어 젊은 신사의 단춧구멍에 꽂아 주었다.

But the young Scotch lady looked round, for a long time, in an undecided way.

그러나 젊은 스코틀랜드 아가씨는 오랫동안 망설이는 듯이 주위를 둘러보았다.

None of the flowers seemed to suit her taste.

어떤 꽃도 그녀의 마음에 드는 것이 없는 듯하였다.

Then her eye glanced across the paling--outside stood the great thistle bush, with the reddish-blue, sturdy flowers; she saw them, she smiled, and asked the son of the house to pluck one for her.

그때 그녀의 시선이 울타리 너머로 향하였다--바깥쪽에는 붉은빛이 도는 파란색의 튼튼한 꽃들을 가진 커다란 엉겅퀴 덤불이 서 있었다. 그녀는 그것들을 보고 미소를 지으며 집안의 아들에게 한 송이를 꺾어 달라고 부탁하였다.

"It is the flower of Scotland," she said.

"이것은 스코틀랜드의 꽃이에요," 그녀가 말하였다.

"It blooms in the scutcheon of my country.

"이 꽃은 우리나라의 문장에 피어 있지요.

Give me yonder flower."

저 꽃을 저에게 주세요."

And he brought the fairest blossom, and pricked his fingers as completely as if it had grown on the sharpest rose bush.

그는 가장 아름다운 꽃을 가져왔는데, 마치 가장 날카로운 장미 덤불에서 자란 것처럼 손가락이 완전히 찔리고 말았다.

She placed the thistle-flower in the buttonhole of the young man, and he felt himself highly honored.

그녀는 엉겅퀴 꽃을 젊은 남자의 단춧구멍에 꽂아 주었고, 그는 자신이 매우 큰 영광을 받은 것처럼 느꼈다.

Each of the other young gentlemen would willingly have given his own beautiful flower to have worn this one, presented by the fair hand of the Scottish maiden.

다른 젊은 신사들 각자는 스코틀랜드 아가씨의 고운 손으로 건네진 이 꽃을 달기 위해서라면 기꺼이 자신의 아름다운 꽃을 내놓았을 것이다.

And if the son of the house felt himself honored, what were the feelings of the Thistle bush?

그리고 집안의 아들이 영광스럽게 느꼈다면, 엉겅퀴 덤불의 심정은 어떠하였겠는가?
