The eleven brothers were princes, and each went to school with a star on his breast, and a sword by his side.

열한 명의 오빠들은 왕자였으며, 각자 가슴에 별을 달고 옆에 칼을 차고 학교에 다녔습니다.

They wrote with diamond pencils on gold slates, and learnt their lessons so quickly and read so easily that every one might know they were princes.

그들은 금 석판에 다이아몬드 연필로 글을 쓰고, 너무나 빠르게 공부를 익히고 너무나 쉽게 읽어서 누구나 그들이 왕자임을 알 수 있을 정도였습니다.

Their sister Eliza sat on a little stool of plate-glass, and had a book full of pictures, which had cost as much as half a kingdom.

그들의 여동생 엘리자는 작은 판유리 의자에 앉아, 왕국의 절반만큼이나 값이 나가는 그림으로 가득 찬 책을 가지고 있었습니다.

Oh, these children were indeed happy, but it was not to remain so always.

오, 이 아이들은 정말로 행복했지만, 그 행복이 영원히 계속될 수는 없었습니다.

Their father, who was king of the country, married a very wicked queen, who did not love the poor children at all.

나라의 왕이었던 그들의 아버지가 불쌍한 아이들을 전혀 사랑하지 않는 매우 사악한 왕비와 결혼했습니다.

They knew this from the very first day after the wedding.

아이들은 결혼식 다음 날 바로 이 사실을 알게 되었습니다.

In the palace there were great festivities, and the children played at receiving company; but instead of having, as usual, all the cakes and apples that were left, she gave them some sand in a tea-cup, and told them to pretend it was cake.

궁전에서는 성대한 축하 행사가 열렸고, 아이들은 손님을 맞이하는 놀이를 했습니다. 그런데 평소처럼 남은 케이크와 사과를 받는 대신, 왕비는 찻잔에 모래를 담아 주면서 케이크인 척 하라고 했습니다.

The week after, she sent little Eliza into the country to a peasant and his wife, and then she told the king so many untrue things about the young princes, that he gave himself no more trouble respecting them.

그 다음 주에 왕비는 어린 엘리자를 시골의 한 농부 부부에게 보내고, 왕에게 어린 왕자들에 대한 거짓말을 너무 많이 늘어놓아 왕이 그들에 대해 더 이상 신경을 쓰지 않게 만들었습니다.

"Go out into the world and get your own living," said the queen.

"세상으로 나가 스스로 먹고살아라," 왕비가 말했습니다.

"Fly like great birds, who have no voice." But she could not make them ugly as she wished, for they were turned into eleven beautiful wild swans.

"목소리 없는 커다란 새처럼 날아가거라." 하지만 왕비는 바라던 대로 그들을 못생기게 만들 수는 없었습니다. 왜냐하면 그들은 열한 마리의 아름다운 야생 백조로 변했기 때문입니다.
