Piccolissima — Page 5

English → Korean Full Text Level 3/10

When, however, Piccolissima was two inches high, and lively as a grasshopper, she became restless in her cocoanut shell; she was desirous to get out of it, to walk, and to jump, and she not only deranged the clock, but she was in real danger.

그러나 피콜리시마가 키 두 인치에 메뚜기처럼 활발해졌을 때, 그녀는 코코넛 껍데기 안에서 안절부절못하게 되었다. 그녀는 밖으로 나가서 걷고 뛰고 싶어했으며, 시계를 어지럽혔을 뿐만 아니라 실제로 위험에 처하게 되었다.

She was now as much as seven years old, and she amused herself with all sorts of little pranks, and loving ways, with one of her brothers eighteen months old.

그녀는 이제 일곱 살이 되었고, 생후 열여덟 달 된 오빠들 중 하나와 함께 온갖 작은 장난과 애교스러운 행동으로 스스로를 즐겁게 했다.

The great boy, in a sort of ecstasy at some of the drolleries of his little sister, seized her and put her in his mouth, taking into it nearly the whole head of the poor little thing.

그 큰 아이는 작은 여동생의 우스꽝스러운 행동에 일종의 황홀경에 빠져, 그녀를 잡아 입에 넣었는데, 그 가엾은 작은 아이의 머리가 거의 통째로 들어가 버렸다.

Her cry was so shrill that the baby boy opened his jaws and let the unfortunate Piccolissima fall on the floor.

그녀의 비명이 너무 날카로워서 그 아기 아이는 입을 벌렸고, 불행한 피콜리시마는 바닥으로 떨어지고 말았다.

She did not recover for a long time from this fall.

그녀는 이 낙상으로부터 오랫동안 회복하지 못했다.

Another time, a large cat, a great mouser, ran after her, and it was with difficulty they rescued Piccolissima from the claws of Raminagrobis.

또 다른 때에는 덩치 큰 고양이, 뛰어난 쥐사냥꾼이 그녀를 뒤쫓았고, 그들은 간신히 피콜리시마를 라미나그로비스의 발톱에서 구해냈다.

The father, Mr. Thumb, could not repress some anxiety about the fate of his amiable daughter, who had more than common intelligence, and who, by her extreme smallness, was exposed to so many dangers.

아버지인 엄지씨는 보통 이상의 총명함을 지녔으나, 그 극도로 작은 몸집 때문에 수많은 위험에 노출되어 있는 사랑스러운 딸의 운명에 대한 불안을 억누를 수가 없었다.

Piccolissima did her best to acquire knowledge.

피콜리시마는 지식을 쌓기 위해 최선을 다했다.

She had the best intentions in the world; she desired in every thing to please all who approached her; but her extreme restlessness led her away in spite of herself.

그녀는 세상 누구보다도 선한 의도를 가지고 있었다. 그녀는 모든 면에서 자신에게 다가오는 모든 사람을 기쁘게 하고 싶어했다. 그러나 그녀의 극도의 불안정함이 자신도 모르게 그녀를 엉뚱한 곳으로 이끌었다.
