English → Korean XXI. BOBBY FINDS A HOME AT LAST Level 3/10

Bobby has a sense of fun,

바비는 유머 감각이 있었고,

and now he saw the funny side of all his experiences.

이제 그는 자신의 모든 경험에서 우스운 면을 보았습니다.

"There is one thing sure, and that is being without a home is a more serious matter than I thought it was," said he.

"한 가지 확실한 것은, 집이 없다는 것이 내가 생각했던 것보다 훨씬 심각한 문제라는 거야," 라고 그가 말했습니다.

"I thought it would be easy enough to find a place to sleep when I wanted to, but I've begun to think that it is about the hardest thing I've ever tried to do.

"자고 싶을 때 잠잘 곳을 찾는 것이 쉬울 거라고 생각했는데, 이제는 그것이 내가 해보려 했던 것 중 가장 어려운 일이라는 생각이 들기 시작했어.

Here I am in a strange part of the Green Forest and homeless.

나는 지금 초록 숲의 낯선 곳에 있고 집도 없어.

There's no use in going back where I used to live, so I may as well look around here and see what I can find.

예전에 살던 곳으로 돌아가는 것은 소용없으니, 여기서 주변을 둘러보고 무엇을 찾을 수 있는지 봐야겠어.

Perhaps there is an empty house somewhere near.

어쩌면 근처 어딘가에 빈 집이 있을지도 몰라.

Most anything will do for awhile."

당분간은 어떤 것이든 괜찮을 거야."

So Bobby began to look about for an empty house.

그래서 바비는 빈 집을 찾아 주위를 살펴보기 시작했습니다.

Now, of course, he had in mind a hollow tree or log.

물론, 그가 생각한 것은 속이 빈 나무나 통나무였습니다.

He always had lived in a hollow tree, and so he preferred one now.

그는 항상 속이 빈 나무에서 살아왔기 때문에, 지금도 그런 곳을 원했습니다.

But he soon found that hollow trees were few and far between in that part of the Green Forest, and those he did find didn't have hollows big enough for him.

하지만 그는 곧 초록 숲의 그 지역에는 속이 빈 나무가 드물다는 것을 알았고, 찾은 나무들도 그가 들어갈 만큼 큰 구멍이 없었습니다.

The same thing was true of hollow logs.

속이 빈 통나무도 마찬가지였습니다.

He was getting discouraged when he came to a ledge of rock which was the foundation of a little hill deep in the Green Forest.

그가 낙담하고 있을 때, 초록 숲 깊은 곳에 작은 언덕의 기반이 되는 바위 절벽에 이르렀습니다.

In this ledge of rock Bobby discovered a crack big enough for him to squeeze into.

이 바위 절벽에서 바비는 자신이 비집고 들어갈 만큼 큰 틈을 발견했습니다.
