Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1442
The genius of the human race stood in the humble room, bent down over the bed and imprinted a kiss on the boy's forehead: "Be thou strong in fame and strong in the battle of life! With truth in thy heart fly toward the land of truth!"
인류의 천재가 그 소박한 방에 서서, 침대 위로 몸을 굽혀 소년의 이마에 입맞춤을 새겨 넣었다. "명성에서 강하고 삶의 싸움에서 강하여라! 마음속에 진실을 품고 진실의 땅을 향해 날아가거라!"
The elder brother was not yet in bed; he was standing at the window looking out at the mist which rose from the meadows.
형은 아직 잠자리에 들지 않았다. 그는 창가에 서서 초원에서 피어오르는 안개를 바라보고 있었다.
They were not elves dancing out there, as their old nurse had told him; he knew better--they were vapours which were warmer than the air, and that is why they rose.
나이 든 유모가 말해 주었던 것처럼 저기서 춤추는 요정들이 아니었다. 그는 더 잘 알고 있었다. 그것들은 공기보다 따뜻한 수증기였고, 그래서 위로 올라가는 것이었다.
A shooting star lit up the sky, and the boy's thoughts passed in a second from the vapours of the earth up to the shining meteor.
유성 하나가 하늘을 밝혔고, 소년의 생각은 순식간에 땅의 수증기로부터 빛나는 유성으로 옮겨 갔다.
The stars gleamed in the heavens, and it seemed as if long golden threads hung down from them to the earth.
별들이 하늘에서 빛나고 있었고, 마치 긴 황금빛 실들이 별에서 땅으로 드리워져 있는 것처럼 보였다.
"Fly with me," sang a voice, which the boy heard in his heart.
"나와 함께 날아라" 하고 한 목소리가 노래했는데, 소년은 그 소리를 마음속에서 들었다.
And the mighty genius of mankind, swifter than a bird and than an arrow--swifter than anything of earthly origin--carried him out into space, where the heavenly bodies are bound together by the rays that pass from star to star.
그리고 인류의 위대한 천재가, 새보다도 화살보다도 빠르게, 지상의 어떤 것보다도 빠르게, 그를 우주 공간으로 데려갔다. 그곳에서는 천체들이 별과 별 사이를 지나는 광선으로 서로 이어져 있었다.
Our earth revolved in the thin air, and the cities upon it seemed to lie close to each other.
우리의 지구는 희박한 공기 속에서 회전하고 있었고, 그 위의 도시들은 서로 가까이 붙어 있는 것처럼 보였다.
Through the spheres echoed the words:
천구들을 통해 다음과 같은 말이 메아리쳤다.
"What is near, what is far, when thou art lifted by the mighty genius of mind?"
"정신의 위대한 천재에 의해 들어 올려질 때, 가까운 것이 무엇이고 먼 것이 무엇이냐?"
