The Adventures of Bobby Coon — Page 1
"Home again! Home again! Happy am I!
"다시 집으로! 다시 집으로! 나는 행복해!
Had I but wings I most surely would fly!"
날개만 있다면 틀림없이 날아갈 텐데!"
|SO sang Bobby Coon as he wandered about in the Green Forest after leaving Farmer Brown's boy.
바비 쿤은 브라운 농부의 아들을 떠난 후 초록 숲을 이리저리 헤매면서 이렇게 노래했습니다.
At least, he meant it for singing.
적어도, 그는 그것을 노래라고 생각했습니다.
Of course, it wasn't real singing, for Bobby Coon can no more sing than he can fly.
물론, 그것은 진짜 노래가 아니었습니다. 바비 쿤은 날 수 없는 것처럼 노래도 할 수 없으니까요.
But it did very well to express his happiness, and that was all it was intended to do.
하지만 그것은 그의 행복을 표현하기에 충분했고, 그것이 바로 그 목적이었습니다.
Bobby was happy.
바비는 행복했습니다.
He was very happy indeed.
그는 정말로 매우 행복했습니다.
Indeed he couldn't remember ever having been quite so happy.
사실 그는 이토록 행복했던 적이 있었는지 기억조차 할 수 없었습니다.
You see, he never before had understood fully what freedom means.
그도 그럴 것이, 그는 자유가 무엇을 의미하는지 이전에는 완전히 이해한 적이 없었습니다.
No one can fully understand what a wonderful and blessed thing freedom is until they have lost it and then got it again.
자유를 잃었다가 다시 되찾기 전까지는 아무도 자유가 얼마나 놀랍고 축복받은 것인지 완전히 이해할 수 없습니다.
Bobby took long breaths and sniffed and sniffed and sniffed and sniffed the sweet smells of early spring.
바비는 깊게 숨을 들이쉬며 이른 봄의 달콤한 냄새를 연신 킁킁거리며 맡았습니다.
The Green Forest was full of them, and never had they seemed so good to Bobby.
초록 숲은 그 냄새로 가득했고, 바비에게 그 냄새들이 이토록 좋게 느껴진 적은 없었습니다.
He climbed a tree for nothing under the sun but to know what it felt like to climb once more.
그는 다시 한번 나무를 오르는 느낌이 어떤 것인지 알고 싶은 마음에, 아무런 이유 없이 그냥 나무를 올랐습니다.
Then he climbed down to earth again and went poking around among the leaves just for the fun of poking around.
그러고 나서 그는 다시 땅으로 내려와 그냥 재미로 낙엽 사이를 이리저리 뒤적거렸습니다.
He rolled over and over from sheer joy.
그는 순전한 기쁨에 겨워 몸을 이리저리 굴렸습니다.
Finally he brushed himself off, climbed up on an old stump, and sat down to think things over.
마침내 그는 몸에 묻은 것을 털어내고 오래된 그루터기 위로 올라가 앉아서 곰곰이 생각에 잠겼습니다.
"Of course," said he to himself, "the first thing for me to do is to find a new house.
"물론," 그는 혼자 중얼거렸습니다. "내가 가장 먼저 해야 할 일은 새 집을 찾는 것이야.
