Piccolissima — Page 6

English → Korean Full Text Level 3/10

One evening she lost herself in the solitude of a drawer in which was kept some tobacco; she came near dying from the effect of it.

어느 날 저녁 그녀는 담배가 보관되어 있던 서랍의 고요함 속에서 길을 잃었고, 그 영향으로 거의 죽을 뻔했다.

Once she was near drowning in a superb salad dish of frothed eggs, which she may have taken for snow mountains.

한번은 그녀가 눈 덮인 산으로 착각했을지도 모를, 거품 낀 달걀로 가득 찬 훌륭한 샐러드 그릇에서 익사할 뻔하기도 했다.

She had a passion for discovery, she had a prodigious activity of mind and body, and yet they could find nothing for her to do, "because," they said, "she is so little, so delicate."

그녀는 탐험에 대한 열정이 있었고, 정신과 육체에 있어 놀라운 활동성을 지니고 있었지만, 사람들은 그녀에게 시킬 일을 아무것도 찾지 못했는데, "왜냐하면," 그들은 말했다, "그녀는 너무 작고, 너무 연약하기 때문이에요."

She could not play with children of her own age, she was not allowed to run about, and without object, without employment, without means of studying, with no companions, no sympathy, the poor little thing was in danger of falling into a state of apathy, more to be feared than the accidents from which they wished to preserve her.

그녀는 또래 아이들과 놀 수도 없었고, 뛰어다니는 것도 허용되지 않았으며, 목적도 없고, 할 일도 없고, 공부할 방법도 없고, 친구도 없고, 공감해 주는 이도 없이, 불쌍한 작은 아이는 무기력한 상태에 빠질 위험에 처해 있었는데, 이는 사람들이 그녀를 보호하려 했던 사고들보다 더 두려운 것이었다.

One day, towards the end of February, Piccolissima had been placed upon the mantelpiece.

어느 날, 2월 말 무렵, 피콜리시마는 벽난로 선반 위에 놓여 있었다.

Her mother had gone out; her father, who did not wish to have the trouble of watching over all his little daughter's movements, seated her upon a pincushion in which there were no pins, and putting the dictionary as a sort of rampart before her, he gave her a stick of barley sugar to entertain herself with, and after the usual admonition, left her to her dreams.

그녀의 어머니는 외출했고, 작은 딸의 모든 움직임을 일일이 지켜보는 수고를 하고 싶지 않았던 아버지는 그녀를 핀이 꽂혀 있지 않은 바늘꽂이 위에 앉힌 뒤, 사전을 일종의 방벽처럼 그녀 앞에 세워놓고, 심심풀이로 엿가락 하나를 쥐어주었으며, 늘 하던 대로 타이른 후 그녀를 홀로 꿈속에 남겨두었다.
