Piccolissima — Page 7

English → Korean Full Text Level 3/10

Leaving the sugar to slip down by her side, she remained lost in melancholy reflections from which she was drawn by a light murmur, such as one hears sometimes in the silence of the night when persons are speaking in a low voice in a distant part of the house.

설탕이 그녀의 옆으로 미끄러져 내려가도록 내버려 둔 채, 그녀는 우울한 상념에 잠겨 있었는데, 집의 먼 곳에서 누군가 낮은 목소리로 이야기할 때 밤의 고요 속에서 가끔 들려오는 것과 같은 가벼운 속삭임에 의해 그 상념에서 깨어났다.

Piccolissima listened with deep attention for some time.

피콜리시마는 한동안 깊은 주의를 기울여 들었다.

Usually she disliked the sound of conversation; it struck harshly on her organs, and seemed a sort of mimic thunder; but these sounds had nothing discordant, nothing disagreeable in them, to her ear.

평소 그녀는 대화 소리를 싫어했는데, 그것은 그녀의 감각 기관에 거칠게 부딪혀 일종의 모방된 천둥처럼 느껴졌다. 그러나 이 소리들은 그녀의 귀에 불협화음도, 불쾌한 것도 전혀 없었다.

As Piccolissima had been forced to observe rather than to act, her faculties took a new direction, and a development of which she was unconscious herself took place, and her joy and her surprise were great when she found that, in what had at first appeared to her a confused murmur, she distinguished, as she listened attentively, intelligible words.

피콜리시마는 행동하기보다는 관찰하도록 강요받아 왔기에, 그녀의 능력은 새로운 방향을 취했고, 그녀 자신도 의식하지 못한 발전이 이루어졌다. 그리하여 처음에 혼란스러운 웅성거림으로 보였던 것 속에서, 주의 깊게 귀를 기울이자 알아들을 수 있는 단어들이 구별되는 것을 발견했을 때, 그녀의 기쁨과 놀라움은 컸다.

"It was hardly worth while," said a small, sharp voice, "it was hardly worth the trouble it cost me to leave my cradle.

"거의 가치가 없었어," 작고 날카로운 목소리가 말했다, "내 요람을 떠나느라 들인 수고에 비해 거의 가치가 없었어.

I have come into the world where all is dead around me.

나는 주변의 모든 것이 죽어 있는 세상으로 나왔어.

Ah! if I had only known that this world was so cold and dull, I should not have made efforts which almost destroyed me, to break the roof and leave my narrow house."

아! 이 세상이 이토록 춥고 따분한 곳인 줄 알았더라면, 지붕을 뚫고 나의 좁은 집을 떠나기 위해 나를 거의 망가뜨릴 뻔한 그런 노력을 하지 않았을 텐데."

"Patience," replied another voice, a little quieter, but much like the other; "I have lived longer than thou, who art only a few seconds old.

"참아," 다른 목소리가 대답했는데, 조금 더 조용하지만 앞의 목소리와 매우 비슷했다. "나는 겨우 몇 초밖에 안 된 너보다 더 오래 살았어.
