Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 1576
Hand in hand they approached the old ice-man, Winter, embraced him and clung to his breast; and as they did so, in a moment all three were enveloped in a thick, damp mist, dark and heavy, that closed over them like a veil.
손을 잡고 그들은 늙은 얼음 인간, 겨울에게 다가가 그를 껴안고 그의 가슴에 매달렸다. 그렇게 하는 순간, 세 사람 모두 짙고 축축한 안개에 휩싸였는데, 그것은 어둡고 무거워서 베일처럼 그들 위로 드리워졌다.
The wind arose with mighty rustling tone, and cleared away the mist.
바람이 힘차게 솨솨 소리를 내며 일어나 안개를 걷어냈다.
Then the sun shone out warmly.
그러자 태양이 따뜻하게 빛났다.
Winter had vanished away, and the beautiful children of Spring sat on the throne of the year.
겨울은 사라졌고, 봄의 아름다운 아이들이 한 해의 왕좌에 앉았다.
"This is really a new year," cried all the sparrows, "now we shall get our rights, and have some return for what we suffered in winter."
"이것이야말로 진짜 새해야," 참새들이 모두 외쳤다, "이제 우리는 우리의 권리를 되찾고, 겨울 동안 겪은 고통에 대한 보상을 받을 거야."
Wherever the two children wandered, green buds burst forth on bush and tree, the grass grew higher, and the corn-fields became lovely in delicate green.
두 아이가 거니는 곳마다 덤불과 나무에 초록 새싹이 돋아났고, 풀은 더 높이 자랐으며, 옥수수밭은 연한 초록빛으로 아름답게 물들었다.
The little maiden strewed flowers in her path.
어린 소녀는 자신이 걷는 길에 꽃을 뿌렸다.
She held her apron before her: it was full of flowers; it was as if they sprung into life there, for the more she scattered around her, the more flowers did her apron contain.
그녀는 앞치마를 앞에 들고 있었는데, 그것은 꽃으로 가득 차 있었다. 마치 꽃들이 그곳에서 생명을 얻는 것 같았으니, 그녀가 주변에 뿌리면 뿌릴수록 앞치마에는 더 많은 꽃이 담겼다.
Eagerly she showered snowy blossoms over apple and peach-trees, so that they stood in full beauty before even their green leaves had burst from the bud.
그녀는 사과나무와 복숭아나무 위에 열정적으로 흰 꽃송이를 쏟아부어, 초록 잎사귀가 새싹에서 터져 나오기도 전에 나무들이 온전한 아름다움 속에 서 있게 했다.
Then the boy and the girl clapped their hands, and troops of birds came flying by, no one knew from whence, and they all twittered and chirped, singing "Spring has come!"
그때 소년과 소녀가 손뼉을 쳤고, 어디서 왔는지 아무도 몰랐지만 새 떼가 날아왔으며, 그것들은 모두 재잘거리고 지저귀며 "봄이 왔어요!"라고 노래했다.
How beautiful everything was!
모든 것이 얼마나 아름다웠던가!
