Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1370
On mighty wings the spirit of history floats through the ages, and shows--giving courage and comfort, and awakening gentle thoughts--on the dark nightly background, but in gleaming pictures, the thorny path of honor, which does not, like a fairy tale, end in brilliancy and joy here on earth, but stretches out beyond all time, even into eternity!
역사의 정신은 강력한 날개로 세월을 가로질러 떠다니며, 어두운 밤의 배경 위에 빛나는 그림으로—용기와 위안을 주고 부드러운 생각을 일깨우며—명예의 가시밭길을 보여 주나니, 그 길은 동화처럼 이 땅 위에서 광채와 기쁨으로 끝나지 않고, 모든 시간을 넘어 영원 속으로 뻗어 나간다!
IN A THOUSAND YEARS
천 년 후에
Yes, in a thousand years people will fly on the wings of steam through the air, over the ocean!
그렇다, 천 년 후에 사람들은 증기의 날개를 타고 공중을 날아 바다를 건너게 될 것이다!
The young inhabitants of America will become visitors of old Europe.
아메리카의 젊은 주민들이 오래된 유럽을 찾아오는 방문객이 될 것이다.
They will come over to see the monuments and the great cities, which will then be in ruins, just as we in our time make pilgrimages to the tottering splendors of Southern Asia.
그들은 기념물들과 위대한 도시들을 보러 올 것인데, 그 도시들은 그때쯤이면 폐허가 되어 있을 것이다. 마치 우리 시대에 흔들리는 남아시아의 장엄한 유적지로 순례 여행을 떠나듯이.
In a thousand years they will come!
천 년 후에 그들은 올 것이다!
The Thames, the Danube, and the Rhine still roll their course, Mont Blanc stands firm with its snow-capped summit, and the Northern Lights gleam over the land of the North; but generation after generation has become dust, whole rows of the mighty of the moment are forgotten, like those who already slumber under the hill on which the rich trader, whose ground it is, has built a bench, on which he can sit and look out across his waving corn fields.
템스 강, 다뉴브 강, 라인 강은 여전히 흘러가고, 몽블랑은 눈 덮인 정상을 굳건히 지키며, 북극광은 북쪽 땅 위에서 빛난다. 하지만 세대와 세대가 먼지가 되었고, 한때 권세를 누렸던 수많은 이들은 잊혀졌으니, 마치 이미 언덕 아래 잠들어 있는 자들처럼—그 언덕 위에는 그 땅의 주인인 부유한 상인이 벤치를 만들어 앉아서 물결치는 옥수수밭을 바라볼 수 있게 해 두었다.
"To Europe!" cry the young sons of America; "to the land of our ancestors, the glorious land of monuments and fancy--to Europe!"
"유럽으로!" 아메리카의 젊은이들이 외친다. "우리 조상의 땅, 기념물과 낭만의 영광스러운 땅—유럽으로!"
The ship of the air comes.
하늘의 배가 온다.
