Piccolissima — Page 10

English → Korean Full Text Level 3/10

Piccolissima, from her education, resembled the flies a little too much to boast of her perseverance.

피콜리시마는 그녀의 교육으로 인해 파리를 너무 많이 닮아 있어서 자신의 인내심을 자랑할 수가 없었습니다.

So she gave up her project.

그래서 그녀는 자신의 계획을 포기했습니다.

While bending her small head over these eyes, she distinguished, at the bottom of these crystals, a moving dark spot, and thousands of little Piccolissimas, one after the other, smiled upon her from these little mirrors.

그녀가 작은 머리를 이 눈들 위로 기울이는 동안, 그녀는 이 수정들의 밑바닥에서 움직이는 어두운 점을 발견했고, 수천 명의 작은 피콜리시마들이 하나씩 차례로 이 작은 거울들 속에서 그녀에게 미소를 지었습니다.

O, wonderful! these thousands of crystal groups on each side of the head were not all; a triangle of three diamonds crowned the forehead of the fly.

오, 놀라워라! 머리 양쪽에 있는 이 수천 개의 수정 무리가 전부가 아니었습니다. 세 개의 다이아몬드로 이루어진 삼각형이 파리의 이마를 장식하고 있었습니다.

Piccolissima did not know the name they give to these small eyes, nor that a writer on the subject had said, that the diadem of the fly outshines that of queens, but she could not refrain from saying aloud, "O, my little friend, pray tell me what you do with so many eyes?"

피콜리시마는 이 작은 눈들에 붙여진 이름도 몰랐고, 이 주제에 관해 쓴 작가가 파리의 왕관이 여왕의 왕관보다 더 빛난다고 말했다는 것도 몰랐지만, 그녀는 큰 소리로 말하지 않을 수 없었습니다. "오, 나의 작은 친구여, 그렇게 많은 눈으로 무엇을 하는지 말해 주세요?"

"What do I do with them, indeed! why, I look," answered the fly, a little vexed at being disturbed in his repast.

"그것들로 무엇을 하냐고요! 왜, 저는 보는 것이죠," 파리가 식사 중에 방해를 받아 약간 짜증스러워하며 대답했습니다.

"Are there not fingers, nails, pins, pincers, jaws, claws, beaks, which menace me on every side?

"사방에서 저를 위협하는 손가락, 손톱, 핀, 집게, 턱, 발톱, 부리가 있지 않습니까?

Do I not want eyes to see at a distance, and eyes to see near?

멀리 보기 위한 눈과 가까이 보기 위한 눈이 필요하지 않겠습니까?

And do you not know that my head is better put on than yours, which cannot turn to all points of the compass?"

그리고 나의 머리가 모든 방향으로 돌릴 수 없는 당신의 머리보다 더 잘 달려 있다는 것을 모르십니까?"

"What! can you look behind you without turning your head?"

"뭐라고요! 머리를 돌리지 않고도 뒤를 볼 수 있다고요?"
