Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1397
During the last night there had been a sound borne on the breeze, as if there were cousins in the neighborhood.
지난밤 동안 바람결에 실려 오는 소리가 있었는데, 마치 근처에 친척들이 있는 것 같았다.
"It's a glorious thing to live! glorious to get out of the well, and to lie among the stinging-nettles, and to crawl along the dusty road.
"사는 것은 영광스러운 일이야! 우물에서 나오는 것도 영광스럽고, 쐐기풀 사이에 눕는 것도, 먼지 쌓인 길을 기어가는 것도 영광스러워.
But onward, onward! that we may find frogs or a little toad.
하지만 앞으로, 앞으로! 개구리나 작은 두꺼비를 찾을 수 있도록.
We can't do without that; nature alone is not enough for one."
그것 없이는 안 돼. 자연만으로는 충분하지 않아."
And so she went forward on her journey.
그리하여 그녀는 여행을 계속 나아갔다.
She came out into the open field, to a great pond, round about which grew reeds; and she walked into it.
그녀는 넓은 들판으로 나와 갈대가 주위에 자라고 있는 커다란 연못에 이르렀고, 그 속으로 걸어 들어갔다.
"It will be too damp for you here," said the Frogs; "but you are very welcome! Are you a he or a she? But it doesn't matter; you are equally welcome."
"여기는 당신에게 너무 습할 거예요," 개구리들이 말했다. "하지만 정말 환영해요! 당신은 수컷인가요, 암컷인가요? 하지만 상관없어요. 똑같이 환영해요."
And she was invited to the concert in the evening--the family concert; great enthusiasm and thin voices; we know the sort of thing.
그리고 그녀는 저녁의 음악회, 즉 가족 음악회에 초대받았다. 대단한 열정과 가느다란 목소리들, 우리는 그런 종류의 것을 알고 있다.
No refreshments were given, only there was plenty to drink, for the whole pond was free.
다과는 제공되지 않았고, 마실 것만 충분했는데, 연못 전체가 자유롭게 개방되어 있었기 때문이다.
"Now I shall resume my journey," said the little Toad; for she always felt a longing for something better.
"이제 나는 여행을 다시 시작할 거야," 작은 두꺼비가 말했다. 그녀는 언제나 더 나은 무언가를 향한 그리움을 느꼈기 때문이다.
She saw the stars shining, so large and so bright, and she saw the moon gleaming; and then she saw the sun rise, and mount higher and higher.
그녀는 별들이 크고 밝게 빛나는 것을 보았고, 달이 반짝이는 것을 보았다. 그리고 나서 그녀는 태양이 떠올라 점점 더 높이 솟아오르는 것을 보았다.
"Perhaps after all, I am still in a well, only in a larger well. I must get higher yet; I feel a great restlessness and longing."
"어쩌면 결국, 나는 아직도 우물 안에 있는 것인지도 몰라, 다만 더 큰 우물 안에. 나는 더 높이 올라가야 해. 나는 커다란 불안과 그리움을 느껴."
