Traditions of the Tinguian: a Study in Philippine Folk-Lore — Page 15
The girl's people discuss the proposition, and if they are favorable they set a day for the _pakálon_--a celebration at which the price to be paid for the bride is decided upon (p. 49).
소녀의 가족들은 그 제안을 논의하고, 그들이 호의적이라면 _pakálon_의 날짜를 정한다--이는 신부에게 지불할 가격이 결정되는 축하 행사이다 (p. 49).
The parents of the groom then return home after having left some small present, such as a jar or an agate bead, as a sign of engagement (p. 128) [14].
신랑의 부모는 약혼의 표시로 항아리나 마노 구슬 같은 작은 선물을 남긴 후 집으로 돌아간다 (p. 128) [14].
The _pakálon_ is held a few days later at the girl's home, and for this event her people prepare a quantity of food (p. 72).
_pakálon_은 며칠 후 소녀의 집에서 열리며, 이 행사를 위해 그녀의 가족들은 많은 양의 음식을 준비한다 (p. 72).
On the agreed day the close friends and relatives of both families will assemble.
합의된 날에 양쪽 가족의 친한 친구들과 친척들이 모인다.
Those who accompany the groom carry jars and pigs, either in part payment for the bride, or to serve as food for the company (pp. 72, 128).
신랑을 동행하는 이들은 항아리와 돼지를 가져오는데, 이는 신부에 대한 부분적인 지불이거나 일행을 위한 음식으로 제공하기 위한 것이다 (pp. 72, 128).
The first hours are spent in bargaining over the price the girl should bring, but when this is settled a feast is prepared, and then all indulge in dancing the _tadek_ (p. 59) [15].
처음 몇 시간은 소녀에게 지불할 가격을 흥정하는 데 소비되지만, 이것이 결정되면 잔치가 준비되고, 그런 다음 모두가 _tadek_ 춤을 즐긴다 (p. 59) [15].
When the payment is made a portion is distributed among the girl's relatives (pp. 72, 74), but her parents retain the greater part for themselves [16].
지불이 이루어지면 일부는 소녀의 친척들에게 분배되지만 (pp. 72, 74), 그녀의 부모는 더 많은 부분을 자신들을 위해 보유한다 [16].
The groom cannot yet claim his bride, although in one case he is allowed to take her immediately after the _pakálon_ by making a special payment for the privilege (p. 74).
신랑은 아직 신부를 데려갈 수 없지만, 한 경우에는 특별한 대가를 지불함으로써 _pakálon_ 직후에 그녀를 데려가는 것이 허용된다 (p. 74).
A few nights later the groom goes to the girl's home carrying with him an empty jar with which he makes the final payment (p. 73).
며칠 밤이 지난 후 신랑은 빈 항아리를 들고 소녀의 집으로 가서 최종 지불을 한다 (p. 73).
