Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1575
They should leave these things to us; we are created so much more clever than they are."
그들은 이런 일들을 우리에게 맡겨야 해요; 우리는 그들보다 훨씬 더 영리하게 창조되었으니까요."
One week passed, and then another.
일주일이 지나고, 또 일주일이 지났다.
The forest looked dark, the hard-frozen lake lay like a sheet of lead.
숲은 어두워 보였고, 단단히 얼어붙은 호수는 납판처럼 누워 있었다.
The mountains had disappeared, for over the land hung damp, icy mists.
산들은 사라져 버렸는데, 온 땅 위에 축축하고 차가운 안개가 드리워져 있었기 때문이다.
Large black crows flew about in silence; it was as if nature slept.
커다란 검은 까마귀들이 조용히 날아다녔고, 마치 자연이 잠든 것 같았다.
At length a sunbeam glided over the lake, and it shone like burnished silver.
마침내 햇살 한 줄기가 호수 위를 미끄러지듯 지나갔고, 호수는 닦인 은처럼 빛났다.
But the snow on the fields and the hills did not glitter as before.
그러나 들판과 언덕 위의 눈은 예전처럼 반짝이지 않았다.
The white form of Winter sat there still, with his un-wandering gaze fixed on the south.
겨울의 하얀 모습은 여전히 그곳에 앉아, 흔들림 없는 시선을 남쪽으로 고정하고 있었다.
He did not perceive that the snowy carpet seemed to sink as it were into the earth; that here and there a little green patch of grass appeared, and that these patches were covered with sparrows.
그는 눈의 양탄자가 마치 땅속으로 가라앉는 것처럼 보인다는 것을, 여기저기에 작은 초록빛 풀밭이 나타난다는 것을, 그리고 그 풀밭들이 참새들로 덮여 있다는 것을 알아차리지 못했다.
"Tee-wit, tee-wit; is spring coming at last?"
"티윗, 티윗; 드디어 봄이 오는 건가요?"
Spring! How the cry resounded over field and meadow, and through the dark-brown woods, where the fresh green moss still gleamed on the trunks of the trees, and from the south came the two first storks flying through the air, and on the back of each sat a lovely little child, a boy and a girl.
봄이여! 그 외침이 들판과 초원 위로, 그리고 나무 줄기에 신선한 초록 이끼가 아직 빛나는 짙은 갈색 숲을 지나 울려 퍼졌고, 남쪽에서는 처음으로 두 마리의 황새가 공중을 날아왔으며, 각각의 등 위에는 사랑스러운 작은 아이, 한 명의 소년과 한 명의 소녀가 앉아 있었다.
They greeted the earth with a kiss, and wherever they placed their feet white flowers sprung up from beneath the snow.
그들은 대지에 입맞춤으로 인사를 건넸고, 그들이 발을 내딛는 곳마다 눈 아래에서 하얀 꽃들이 솟아올랐다.
