Piccolissima — Page 12
The wings of the insect fluttered, and made a little sharp noise, which, however, had nothing terrible in it, and Piccolissima perceived that her companion was laughing.
곤충의 날개가 퍼덕이며 작고 날카로운 소리를 냈는데, 그러나 그 소리에는 무서운 것이 전혀 없었고, 피콜리시마는 자신의 친구가 웃고 있다는 것을 알아챘다.
It was evident that the fly must laugh with his wings, because he could not laugh in any other way.
파리는 다른 방식으로는 웃을 수 없었기 때문에, 날개로 웃을 수밖에 없다는 것이 분명했다.
It was with his antennae that he had listened; they evidently served him as ears; and, when he recovered his gravity, he flew on the little girl's hand, and began to talk with her; then Piccolissima observed him more intelligently.
그가 귀를 기울인 것은 더듬이를 통해서였고, 더듬이는 분명히 귀 역할을 했다. 그리고 그가 진지함을 되찾았을 때, 어린 소녀의 손 위로 날아와 그녀와 이야기를 나누기 시작했다. 그러자 피콜리시마는 그를 더 주의 깊게 관찰했다.
"It appears to me, little pet," said the fly, "thou must be very green to compare my delicate trunk, this instrument so nicely made, with the enormous and coarse cylinder upon which, in hot weather, I have often travelled.
"내가 보기에, 꼬마야," 파리가 말했다, "이렇게 정교하게 만들어진 나의 섬세한 주둥이를, 더운 날씨에 내가 자주 올라탔던 그 크고 거친 원통과 비교하다니 넌 정말 너무 순진한 것 같구나.
How can any one suppose that I have any relationship to the deformed and gigantic monster of which you have just now spoken?"
내가 방금 네가 말한 그 기형적이고 거대한 괴물과 어떤 관계가 있다고 누가 생각할 수 있겠니?"
Piccolissima thought that the little person was not wanting in vanity, and, while the fly was taking breath, observed that the trunk had disappeared, and that there was no possibility of discovering what the insect had done with it.
피콜리시마는 이 작은 존재가 허영심이 없지 않다고 생각했고, 파리가 숨을 고르는 동안, 주둥이가 사라졌으며 곤충이 그것을 어떻게 했는지 도저히 알 수 없다는 것을 알아챘다.
