The Adventures of Bobby Coon — Page 3
Men can cut hollow trees down.
사람들은 속이 빈 나무를 베어버릴 수 있어요.
That is what happened to my old house.
그것이 바로 제 옛 집에 일어난 일이에요.
But it can't happen here.
하지만 여기서는 그런 일이 일어날 수 없어요.
No, Sir, it can't possibly happen here.
아니요, 절대로 여기서는 그런 일이 일어날 수 없어요.
Neither can Buster Bear tear it open with his great claws.
버스터 곰도 자신의 커다란 발톱으로 이곳을 열어젖힐 수 없어요.
And the entrance is so narrow that no one of whom I need be afraid can possibly get in here.
그리고 입구가 너무 좁아서 내가 두려워해야 할 어떤 존재도 여기에 들어올 수 없어요.
This is the safest place I've ever seen.
이곳은 내가 지금까지 본 것 중 가장 안전한 곳이에요.
"The next most important thing is dryness.
"다음으로 중요한 것은 건조함이에요.
A damp house is bad, very bad.
축축한 집은 나쁘고, 아주 나빠요.
It is uncomfortable, and it is bad for the health.
불편하고 건강에도 나빠요.
This place is perfectly dry.
이곳은 완전히 건조해요.
It will be warm in winter and cool in summer.
겨울에는 따뜻하고 여름에는 시원할 거예요.
I can't imagine a more comfortable house.
이보다 더 편안한 집은 상상할 수 없어요.
The only thing lacking is a good bed, and that I'll soon make.
유일하게 부족한 것은 좋은 침대인데, 곧 만들 거예요.
On the whole, I guess the finding of this new house is worth all I went through.
전반적으로, 이 새 집을 찾은 것은 내가 겪은 모든 것을 감수할 만한 가치가 있는 것 같아요.
Now I think I'll go out and get acquainted with the neighborhood and see if I have got any near neighbors."
이제 밖에 나가서 이웃을 알아보고 가까운 이웃이 있는지 살펴봐야겠어요."
So Bobby went out through the narrow entrance and began to look about to see what he could discover.
그래서 바비는 좁은 입구를 통해 밖으로 나가서 무엇을 발견할 수 있는지 주위를 살펴보기 시작했어요.
"I think," said he, "that I'll follow this ledge and see if there are any more caves like mine.
"이 바위 턱을 따라가서 내 것과 같은 동굴이 더 있는지 살펴봐야겠어,"라고 그가 말했어요.
I might find a better one, though I doubt it."
더 좋은 것을 찾을 수도 있겠지만, 그럴 것 같지는 않아요."
He shuffled along, light of heart and brimming over with excitement and curiosity.
그는 마음이 가볍고 흥분과 호기심으로 가득 차서 터벅터벅 걸어갔어요.
You know it always is great fun to explore a strange place.
낯선 곳을 탐험하는 것은 언제나 아주 재미있는 일이잖아요.
