Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1546
King Waldemar's wild chase was just then rushing over the moor, and when the great lords heard of the festivities that were going on, they sent a couple of handsome dogs, which hunt on the spoor of the wind, as a present; and these might carry two or three of the Will-o'-the-Wisps.
발데마르 왕의 거친 사냥이 바로 그때 황야를 가로질러 달려가고 있었는데, 위대한 영주들이 그곳에서 벌어지고 있는 축제 소식을 듣고, 바람의 흔적을 쫓아 사냥하는 잘생긴 개 두 마리를 선물로 보냈습니다. 그 개들은 도깨비불 두세 마리를 태울 수 있었습니다.
A couple of old Alpas, spirits who occupy themselves with Alp-pressing, were also at the feast; and from these the young Will-o'-the-Wisps learned the art of slipping through every key-hole, as if the door stood open before them.
알프 짓누르기를 일삼는 정령인 늙은 알파 두 명도 잔치에 참석해 있었는데, 젊은 도깨비불들은 이들로부터 마치 문이 활짝 열려 있는 것처럼 모든 열쇠 구멍을 빠져나가는 기술을 배웠습니다.
These Alpas offered to carry the youngsters to the town, with which they were well acquainted.
이 알파들은 자신들이 잘 알고 있는 마을로 젊은이들을 데려다주겠다고 제안했습니다.
They usually rode through the atmosphere on their own back hair, which is fastened into a knot, for they love a hard seat; but now they sat sideways on the wild hunting dogs, took the young Will-o'-the-Wisps in their laps, who wanted to go into the town to mislead and entice mortals, and, whisk! away they were.
그들은 딱딱한 자리를 좋아하기 때문에 보통은 매듭으로 묶은 자신의 뒷머리를 타고 공중을 날아다녔지만, 이번에는 야생 사냥개 위에 옆으로 앉아 인간을 미혹하고 유혹하기 위해 마을로 가고 싶어 하는 젊은 도깨비불들을 무릎에 앉히고, 휙! 사라져 버렸습니다.
Now, this is what happened last night.
자, 이것이 바로 어젯밤에 일어난 일입니다.
To-day the Will-o'-the-Wisps are in the town, and have taken the matter in hand--but where and how?
오늘 도깨비불들은 마을에 있으며 일을 시작했습니다. 하지만 어디서, 어떻게?
Ah, can you tell me that?
아, 그것을 말해줄 수 있겠어요?
Still, I've a lightning conductor in my great toe, and that will always tell me something."
그래도 내 엄지발가락에는 피뢰침이 있어서, 그것이 항상 뭔가를 알려줄 거예요."
"Why, this is a complete story," exclaimed the man.
"이건 완전한 이야기잖아요." 남자가 외쳤습니다.
"Yes, but it is only the beginning," replied the woman.
"그렇죠, 하지만 이건 시작에 불과해요." 여자가 대답했습니다.
"Can you tell me how the Will-o'-the-Wisps deport themselves, and how they behave?
"도깨비불들이 어떻게 행동하고, 어떻게 처신하는지 말해줄 수 있겠어요?
