English → Korean CHAPTER ONE Level 6/10

Beth trotted to and fro between parlor kitchen, quiet and busy, while Amy gave directions to everyone, as she sat with her hands folded.

베스는 거실과 부엌 사이를 조용하고 바쁘게 오가며 종종걸음을 쳤고, 에이미는 손을 모은 채 앉아서 모두에게 지시를 내렸다.

As they gathered about the table, Mrs. March said, with a particularly happy face, "I've got a treat for you after supper."

그들이 식탁 주위에 모였을 때, 마치 부인은 유난히 밝은 표정으로 말했다. "저녁 식사 후에 너희에게 줄 특별한 것이 있단다."

A quick, bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine.

환하고 밝은 미소가 한 줄기 햇살처럼 퍼져 나갔다.

Beth clapped her hands, regardless of the biscuit she held, and Jo tossed up her napkin, crying, "A letter! A letter! Three cheers for Father!"

베스는 손에 쥔 비스킷도 아랑곳하지 않고 손뼉을 쳤고, 조는 냅킨을 공중에 던지며 외쳤다. "편지다! 편지야! 아버지를 위해 만세 삼창!"

"Yes, a nice long letter. He is well, and thinks he shall get through the cold season better than we feared. He sends all sorts of loving wishes for Christmas, and an especial message to you girls," said Mrs. March, patting her pocket as if she had got a treasure there.

"그래, 꽤 긴 편지란다. 아버지는 건강하시고, 우리가 걱정했던 것보다 추운 계절을 잘 버텨내실 것 같다고 하시는구나. 크리스마스를 위한 온갖 다정한 안부를 전하셨고, 너희 딸들에게 특별한 말씀도 남기셨단다"라고 마치 부인은 말하며, 마치 그곳에 보물이라도 든 것처럼 주머니를 가볍게 두드렸다.

"Hurry and get done! Don't stop to quirk your little finger and simper over your plate, Amy," cried Jo, choking on her tea and dropping her bread, butter side down, on the carpet in her haste to get at the treat.

"서둘러 끝내! 새끼손가락 치켜들고 접시 앞에서 히죽거리며 꾸물거리지 마, 에이미"라고 조가 외쳤는데, 그녀는 차를 마시다 사레가 들리고 특별한 것을 얻으려는 조급함에 빵을 버터 바른 쪽이 아래로 향하게 카펫 위에 떨어뜨렸다.

Beth ate no more, but crept away to sit in her shadowy corner and brood over the delight to come, till the others were ready.

베스는 더 이상 먹지 않고 살그머니 자리를 피해 어두운 구석에 앉아, 다른 이들이 준비될 때까지 다가올 기쁨을 마음속으로 곱씹었다.

"I think it was so splendid in Father to go as chaplain when he was too old to be drafted, and not strong enough for a soldier," said Meg warmly.

"아버지가 징집되기엔 너무 연로하시고 군인이 되기엔 충분히 강하지 않으셨는데도 군목으로 가신 것은 정말 훌륭한 일이라고 생각해"라고 멕이 따뜻하게 말했다.

"Don't I wish I could go as a drummer, a vivan—what's its name?

"나도 고수로, 비방—이름이 뭐더라?
