The Adventures of Bobby Coon — Page 1
If friend of yours a mistake makes
당신의 친구가 실수를 저지른다면
Nor yet has found it out,
아직 그것을 알아채지 못했을 때,
I pray that when at last he does
마침내 그가 알게 될 때
You will not be about.
당신이 그 자리에 없기를 바랍니다.
IT is bad enough to find out for yourself that you have made a mistake, but to have other people know it makes you feel a great deal worse.
자신이 실수를 저질렀다는 것을 스스로 알게 되는 것만으로도 충분히 나쁜 일인데, 다른 사람들이 그것을 알게 된다면 훨씬 더 기분이 나빠집니다.
So the kindest thing that any one can do when they know a friend has made a mistake and it is too late to warn them, is to appear not to know of it at all.
따라서 친구가 실수를 저질렀고 경고하기에는 이미 늦었다는 것을 알았을 때 누구든 할 수 있는 가장 친절한 행동은, 전혀 모르는 척하는 것입니다.
So it wasn't nice at all of Peter Rabbit to hang around watching that old hollow log into which Bobby Coon had crawled for a nap.
그러므로 피터 래빗이 보비 쿤이 낮잠을 자러 기어들어간 오래된 속 빈 통나무를 지켜보며 어슬렁거리는 것은 전혀 좋은 행동이 아니었습니다.
Presently Peter's long ears caught sounds from inside that hollow log.
이윽고 피터의 긴 귀에 그 속 빈 통나무 안에서 나는 소리가 들렸습니다.
First there was a rattling and rustling.
처음에는 덜컹거리고 바스락거리는 소리가 났습니다.
Then came a series of grunts and squeaks.
그 다음에는 연속적인 꿀꿀거리는 소리와 끼익거리는 소리가 들렸습니다.
These were followed by growls and snarls.
그 뒤를 이어 으르렁거리는 소리와 험악한 소리가 들렸습니다.
The latter were from Bobby Coon.
뒤의 소리들은 보비 쿤이 내는 것이었습니다.
He was insisting that he was going to stay right where he was and wouldn't move an inch for any one.
그는 자신이 있는 바로 그 자리에 있을 것이며 누구를 위해서도 한 치도 움직이지 않겠다고 고집을 부리고 있었습니다.
Peter clapped one hand over his mouth to keep from laughing aloud when he heard that, and he fastened his eyes, very big and round with expectation, on the opening in the end of the hollow log.
피터는 그 말을 듣고 소리 내어 웃지 않으려고 한 손으로 입을 막았고, 기대감으로 크고 동그래진 눈을 속 빈 통나무 끝의 입구에 고정시켰습니다.
You see, Peter knew all about that log and who lived there.
사실, 피터는 그 통나무와 거기에 누가 사는지에 대해 모든 것을 알고 있었습니다.
That is what he had tried to tell Bobby Coon.
그것이 바로 그가 보비 쿤에게 말하려 했던 것이었습니다.
He could hear Bobby declaring:
그는 보비가 이렇게 선언하는 소리를 들을 수 있었습니다:
"I won't move a step, not a single step.
"나는 한 발짝도, 단 한 발짝도 움직이지 않을 거야.
