English → Korean CHAPTER ONE Level 6/10

" And Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that any one could hear that time.

그리고 베스는 이번에는 누구든 들을 수 있을 만큼 큰 한숨을 쉬며 자신의 거친 손을 바라보았다.

"I don't believe any of you suffer as I do," cried Amy, "for you don't have to go to school with impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label your father if he isn't rich, and insult you when your nose isn't nice."

"너희 중 누구도 나만큼 고통받지는 않을 거야," 에이미가 외쳤다. "너희는 무례한 여자애들이랑 학교에 다니지 않아도 되잖아. 그 애들은 수업을 모르면 괴롭히고, 옷을 비웃고, 아버지가 부자가 아니면 딱지를 붙이고, 코가 예쁘지 않으면 모욕을 줘."

"If you mean libel, I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if Papa was a pickle bottle," advised Jo, laughing.

"비방이라고 말하고 싶으면 그렇게 말해, 아빠를 피클 병 취급하듯이 딱지 얘기를 하지 말고," 조가 웃으며 말했다.

"I know what I mean, and you needn't be statirical about it. It's proper to use good words, and improve your vocabilary," returned Amy, with dignity.

"내가 무슨 말을 하는지는 나도 알아, 그렇게 빈정댈 필요 없어. 좋은 단어를 쓰고 어휘력을 향상시키는 건 올바른 일이야," 에이미가 품위 있게 대답했다.

"Don't peck at one another, children. Don't you wish we had the money Papa lost when we were little, Jo? Dear me! How happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!" said Meg, who could remember better times.

"서로 쪼아대지 마라, 얘들아. 우리가 어렸을 때 아빠가 잃어버린 돈이 있었으면 좋겠다고 생각하지 않니, 조? 세상에! 걱정이 없다면 우리가 얼마나 행복하고 착하게 살 수 있을까!" 더 좋았던 시절을 기억할 수 있는 메그가 말했다.

"You said the other day you thought we were a deal happier than the King children, for they were fighting and fretting all the time, in spite of their money."

"며칠 전에 언니는 우리가 킹 집 아이들보다 훨씬 행복한 것 같다고 했잖아, 그 애들은 돈이 있음에도 불구하고 항상 싸우고 투덜댄다고."

"So I did, Beth. Well, I think we are. For though we do have to work, we make fun of ourselves, and are a pretty jolly set, as Jo would say."

"맞아, 그렇게 말했지, 베스. 글쎄, 나도 그렇게 생각해. 비록 우리가 일을 해야 하지만, 조가 말하듯이 우리는 스스로를 웃음거리로 만들고, 꽤 유쾌한 무리잖아."

"Jo does use such slang words!" observed Amy, with a reproving look at the long figure stretched on the rug.

"조는 정말 속어를 많이 쓴다니까!" 에이미가 양탄자 위에 길게 누워 있는 조의 모습을 나무라는 듯한 눈으로 바라보며 말했다.
