The Adventures of Bobby Coon — Page 3
He would make very good eating, as Buster well knew, and a Rabbit on the ground was better than a Coon he couldn't shake out of a tree.
버스터가 잘 알고 있었듯이, 그는 아주 훌륭한 먹잇감이 될 터였고, 땅 위의 토끼는 나무에서 흔들어 떨어뜨릴 수 없는 너구리보다 나았다.
Peter dodged just in time and with a squeal of fear away he went, lipperty-lipperty-lip, twisting, dodging, running with all his might, and after him crashed Buster Bear.
피터는 아슬아슬하게 몸을 피하며 겁에 질린 비명과 함께 달아났고, 팔짝팔짝 뛰며 몸을 비틀고 피하면서 있는 힘껏 달렸으며, 그 뒤를 버스터 곰이 쾅쾅 소리를 내며 쫓아왔다.
How Peter did wish that he hadn't been so curious, but had gone home to the dear Old Briar-patch when he should have!
피터는 그토록 호기심을 부리지 말고, 진작 그랬어야 할 때 사랑스러운 오래된 가시덤불로 집에 돌아갔더라면 하고 얼마나 바랐는지 몰랐다!
He was too frightened to know when Buster Bear gave up the chase, but kept right on running.
그는 너무 겁에 질린 나머지 버스터 곰이 언제 추격을 포기했는지도 모른 채 계속 달렸다.
As a matter of fact, Buster didn't chase him far.
사실, 버스터는 그를 멀리까지 쫓지 않았다.
He knew that Peter was too nimble for him to catch in a tail-end race.
그는 피터가 너무 날렵해서 뒤쫓아 잡을 수 없다는 것을 알고 있었다.
So presently he gave it up and hurried back.
그래서 그는 곧 추격을 포기하고 서둘러 돌아갔다.
Bobby Coon was nowhere in sight.
바비 너구리는 아무 데도 보이지 않았다.
He had taken the chance to climb down from that tree and run away.
그는 그 틈을 타 나무에서 내려와 달아난 것이었다.
By leading Buster off for just those few minutes, Peter had saved Bobby Coon, and though he hadn't done it purposely, he got the credit just the same.
단 몇 분 동안 버스터를 유인함으로써 피터는 바비 너구리를 구했고, 의도적으로 한 일은 아니었지만 그럼에도 불구하고 그 공로를 인정받았다.
He became a hero.
그는 영웅이 되었다.
This is a funny old world, isn't it?
이 세상은 참 우습고도 묘한 곳이지, 그렇지 않나요?
