English → Korean Full Text Level 6/10

None of the folk-tales are considered as the property of the tellers, but only those of the third division are well known to the people in general.

민담 중 어느 것도 이야기꾼의 소유물로 여겨지지 않지만, 세 번째 부류에 속하는 것들만이 일반 사람들에게 널리 알려져 있다.

Those of the first section are seldom heard except during the dry season when the people gather around bonfires in various parts of the village.

첫 번째 부류에 속하는 것들은 마을 곳곳에서 사람들이 모닥불 주위에 모이는 건기 동안을 제외하고는 좀처럼 들을 수 없다.

To these go the men and women, the latter to spin cotton, the former to make fish nets or to repair their tools and weapons.

이 자리에 남녀가 모이는데, 여자들은 목화를 잣고, 남자들은 고기잡이 그물을 만들거나 도구와 무기를 수리한다.

In such a gathering there are generally one or more persons who entertain their fellows with these tales.

이러한 모임에는 대개 한 명 혹은 그 이상의 사람이 있어 이 이야기들로 동료들을 즐겁게 한다.

Such a person is not paid for his services, but the fact that he knows "the stories of the first times" makes him a welcome addition to the company and gives him an enviable position in the estimation of his fellows.

그러한 사람은 자신의 역할에 대해 보수를 받지는 않지만, "태초의 이야기들"을 안다는 사실이 그를 모임에서 환영받는 존재로 만들고 동료들의 평가에서 부러움을 살 만한 위치를 부여한다.

The purely ritualistic tales, called _diams_, are learned word by word by the mediums, [1] as a part of their training for their positions, and are only recited while an animal is being stroked with oil preparatory to its being sacrificed, or when some other gift is about to be presented to the superior beings.

_디암_이라고 불리는 순수하게 의례적인 이야기들은 무당들이 자신의 역할을 위한 훈련의 일환으로 단어 하나하나씩 외우며, 동물을 희생시키기 전에 기름으로 쓰다듬는 동안에만, 혹은 다른 어떤 제물이 상위 존재들에게 바쳐지려 할 때에만 낭송된다.

The writer has recorded these _diams_ from various mediums in widely separated towns and has found them quite uniform in text and content.

저자는 멀리 떨어진 여러 마을의 다양한 무당들로부터 이 _디암_들을 기록하였으며, 그것들이 내용과 구성 면에서 상당히 균일하다는 것을 발견하였다.

The explanatory tales were likewise secured from the mediums, or from old men and women who "know the customs."

설명적인 이야기들도 마찬가지로 무당들로부터, 혹은 "관습을 아는" 노인 남녀들로부터 수집되었다.
