Piccolissima — Page 14
It seems that the fly, being only able to take up liquids through his trunk, wetted and dissolved the sugar that he might suck it up.
파리는 주둥이로 액체만 흡수할 수 있기 때문에, 설탕을 빨아들이기 위해 설탕을 적시고 녹인 것으로 보였다.
It was a pleasant thing to see his lips swell out, and press, handle, and knead, as it were, the amber surface of the sugar in order to make it melt sooner, and enable him to draw it up faster.
설탕이 더 빨리 녹아 더 빠르게 빨아들일 수 있도록, 파리의 입술이 부풀어 오르며 설탕의 호박빛 표면을 누르고 다루고 주무르는 것을 보는 것은 즐거운 일이었다.
After having examined all these proceedings for some time, with great amusement, the little apprentice naturalist cried out, "Well, my little guest has a remarkable talent for eating barley sugar."
한동안 이 모든 행동을 크게 즐기며 지켜본 뒤, 어린 견습 박물학자는 소리쳤다. "저런, 내 작은 손님은 엿을 먹는 데 놀라운 재능이 있구나."
The other fly, timid, wet, and with his wings folded, so that he seemed naked, remained behind upon the frame of the window.
다른 파리는 소심하고, 젖어 있었으며, 날개를 접고 있어 마치 벌거벗은 것처럼 보이면서, 창틀 위에 뒤처져 있었다.
"Come, poor little wet chicken as thou art," cried the elder fly; "thou wast complaining just now of having found in life only discomfort and cold; dost thou not see these rays of the sun? dost thou not perceive the perfume of this delicious food?"
"이리 오렴, 가엾은 꼬마 젖은 병아리야," 나이 든 파리가 소리쳤다. "너는 방금 삶에서 불편함과 추위만을 만났다고 불평했잖니. 이 햇살이 보이지 않니? 이 맛있는 음식의 향기가 느껴지지 않니?"
The young, inexperienced fly was disposed to take Piccolissima, the dictionary, and the barley sugar for a chain of mountains.
어리고 경험 없는 파리는 피콜리시마와 사전, 그리고 엿을 산맥으로 착각할 뻔했다.
However, when the little girl turned her gentle, child-like face towards him, the insect felt the pleasant warmth of her breath; it reanimated him, and gave him courage, and with one bound he flew upon the arm of Piccolissima.
그러나 어린 소녀가 온화하고 아이다운 얼굴을 그쪽으로 돌렸을 때, 곤충은 그녀의 숨결에서 나오는 따뜻한 온기를 느꼈다. 그것은 그에게 활기를 되찾아 주고 용기를 주었으며, 그는 한 번의 도약으로 피콜리시마의 팔 위로 날아올랐다.
With a sudden familiarity he murmured in a low voice, "Art thou, perhaps, an elder sister of mine? Thou warmest me.
갑작스러운 친밀감으로 그는 낮은 목소리로 중얼거렸다. "혹시 당신은 나의 누이인가요? 당신은 나를 따뜻하게 해주는군요.
