Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1404
He will tell it thee under the guise of a fairy tale; and the Caterpillar on the cabbage, and the Stork family belong to the story.
그는 동화의 형식으로 그것을 네게 이야기해 줄 것이다; 양배추 위의 애벌레와 황새 가족도 이 이야기에 속한다.
Think! the Caterpillar is changed, and turns into a beautiful butterfly; the Stork family flies over mountains and seas, to the distant Africa, and yet finds the shortest way home to the same country--to the same roof.
생각해 보라! 애벌레는 변하여 아름다운 나비가 된다; 황새 가족은 산과 바다를 넘어 먼 아프리카까지 날아가면서도, 같은 나라로, 같은 지붕 아래로 돌아오는 가장 짧은 길을 찾아낸다.
Nay, that is almost too improbable; and yet it is true.
아니, 그것은 거의 믿기 어려운 일이다; 그러나 그것은 사실이다.
You may ask the naturalist, he will confess it is so; and you know it yourself, for you have seen it.
박물학자에게 물어보라, 그도 그렇다고 인정할 것이다; 그리고 당신 스스로도 알고 있다, 왜냐하면 당신이 직접 보았기 때문이다.
But the jewel in the head of the toad?
하지만 두꺼비의 머리 속에 있는 보석은?
Seek it in the sun; see it there if you can.
태양 속에서 그것을 찾아라; 할 수 있다면 거기서 찾아보라.
The brightness is too dazzling there.
그곳은 빛이 너무나 눈부시다.
We have not yet such eyes as can see into the glories which God has created, but we shall receive them by-and-by; and that will be the most beautiful story of all, and we shall all have our share in it.
우리는 아직 하나님이 창조하신 영광을 볼 수 있는 눈을 갖지 못했지만, 우리는 머지않아 그런 눈을 갖게 될 것이다; 그리고 그것이 가장 아름다운 이야기가 될 것이며, 우리 모두가 그 이야기에 참여하게 될 것이다.
THE TOP AND BALL
팽이와 공
A whipping top and a little ball lay together in a box, among other toys, and the top said to the ball, "Shall we be married, as we live in the same box?"
채찍 팽이와 작은 공이 다른 장난감들과 함께 상자 안에 나란히 놓여 있었는데, 팽이가 공에게 말했다, "우리가 같은 상자 안에 살고 있으니, 결혼하는 게 어떨까?"
But the ball, which wore a dress of morocco leather, and thought as much of herself as any other young lady, would not even condescend to reply.
하지만 모로코 가죽으로 만든 옷을 입고, 어느 아가씨 못지않게 자신을 높이 여기던 공은 대답하는 것조차 체면 아래로 여겼다.
