The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 2

English → Korean Preface Level 3/10

Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale.

그러나 오랜 세대에 걸쳐 사랑받아 온 옛날 동화는 이제 아동 도서관에서 "역사적" 작품으로 분류될 수 있다. 왜냐하면 이제는 틀에 박힌 요정, 난쟁이, 정령이 사라지고, 각 이야기에 두려운 교훈을 심어 주기 위해 작가들이 고안한 끔찍하고 소름 끼치는 사건들도 함께 제거된 새로운 "경이로운 이야기" 시리즈가 나올 때가 되었기 때문이다.

Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.

현대 교육에는 도덕이 포함되어 있다. 따라서 현대의 아이들은 경이로운 이야기에서 오직 즐거움만을 추구하며, 불쾌한 사건들은 기꺼이 없애 버린다.

Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children of today.

이러한 생각을 염두에 두고, 「오즈의 위대한 마법사」 이야기는 오늘날의 아이들을 즐겁게 하기 위해서만 쓰였다.

It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.

이 작품은 경이로움과 기쁨은 간직하되 가슴 아픈 이야기와 악몽은 배제한 현대화된 동화를 지향한다.
