He is my own child, and he is not so very ugly after all if you look at him properly.

그는 내 친자식이고, 제대로 보면 그렇게 못생기지도 않았어.

Quack, quack! come with me now, I will take you into grand society, and introduce you to the farmyard, but you must keep close to me or you may be trodden upon; and, above all, beware of the cat.

꽥, 꽥! 이제 나를 따라오렴, 멋진 무리 속으로 데려가서 농장 마당에 소개시켜 줄게, 하지만 내 곁에 바짝 붙어 있어야 해, 그렇지 않으면 밟힐 수도 있어; 그리고 무엇보다도, 고양이를 조심해.

When they reached the farmyard, there was a great disturbance, two families were fighting for an eel's head, which, after all, was carried off by the cat.

그들이 농장 마당에 도착했을 때, 큰 소동이 벌어지고 있었는데, 두 가족이 뱀장어 머리를 놓고 싸우고 있었고, 그것은 결국 고양이가 채어 갔다.

"See, children, that is the way of the world," said the mother duck, whetting her beak, for she would have liked the eel's head herself.

"봐라, 얘들아, 세상이란 그런 거란다," 어미 오리가 부리를 날름거리며 말했는데, 그녀 자신도 뱀장어 머리를 먹고 싶었던 것이었다.

"Come, now, use your legs, and let me see how well you can behave.

"자, 이제 다리를 움직여서, 얼마나 예의 바르게 행동할 수 있는지 보여주렴.

You must bow your heads prettily to that old duck yonder; she is the highest born of them all, and has Spanish blood, therefore, she is well off.

저기 저 늙은 오리에게 고개를 예쁘게 숙여 인사해야 해; 그녀는 이들 중 가장 좋은 집안 출신이고 스페인 혈통을 가지고 있어서 잘 살고 있단다.

Don't you see she has a red flag tied to her leg, which is something very grand, and a great honor for a duck; it shows that every one is anxious not to lose her, as she can be recognized both by man and beast.

그녀의 다리에 빨간 깃발이 묶여 있는 게 보이지 않니, 그건 아주 대단한 것이고 오리에게는 큰 영광이야; 그것은 모든 이들이 그녀를 잃지 않으려 한다는 것을 보여주는 거야, 왜냐하면 그녀는 사람과 짐승 모두에게 알아볼 수 있거든.

Come, now, don't turn your toes, a well-bred duckling spreads his feet wide apart, just like his father and mother, in this way; now bend your neck, and say 'quack.'"

자, 이제 발끝을 오므리지 말고, 잘 자란 새끼 오리는 아빠와 엄마처럼 발을 넓게 벌리는 거야, 이렇게; 이제 목을 구부리고, '꽥'이라고 해봐."
