어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 50

"Because intoxicated men see double.

 

Then the geographer would note down two mountains in a place where there was only one."

 

"I know some one." said the little prince, "who would make a bad explorer."

 

"That is possible. Then, when the moral character of the explorer is shown to be good, an inquiry is ordered into his discovery."

 

"One goes to see it?"

 

"No. That would be too complicated. But one requires the explorer to furnish proofs.

 

For example, if the discovery in question is that of a large mountain, one requires that large stones be brought back from it."

 

The geographer was suddenly stirred to excitement.

 

"But you- you come from far away! You are an explorer!

 

You shall describe your planet to me!"

 

And, having opened his big register, the geographer sharpened his pencil.

 

The recitals of explorers are put down first in pencil.

 

One waits until the explorer has furnished proofs, before putting them down in ink.

 

"Well?" said the geographer expectantly.

"Because intoxicated men see double.

"왜냐하면 술취한 사람은 2개로 보거든."

 

Then the geographer would note down two mountains in a place where there was only one."

그러면 지리학자는 하나밖에 없는 것을 2개로 기록할지도 몰라."

 

"I know some one who would make a bad explorer." said the little prince.

"나는 그런 사람을 한 명 알아요. 그 사람은 나쁜 탐험가일거예요." 어린 왕자가 말했습니다. 

 

"That is possible. Then, when the moral character of the explorer is shown to be good, an inquiry is ordered into his discovery."

"충분히 가능하지. 탐험가의 도덕성이 좋다고 보이면, 거의 발견에 대한 조사가 이루어진다."

 

"One goes to see it?"

"가서보나요?"

 

"No. That would be too complicated. But one requires the explorer to furnish proofs.

"아니. 그건 너무 복잡해. 하지만 증거를 달라고 요구한다.

 

For example, if the discovery in question is that of a large mountain, one requires that large stones be brought back from it."

예를 들면,  논쟁중인 발견이 큰 산이라면, 그것으로부터 큰 돌을 가지고 오라고 요구하지"

 

The geographer was suddenly stirred to excitement.

지리학자는 갑자기 흥분에 휩싸였습니다.

 

"But you- you come from far away! You are an explorer!

"아!! 너.. 바로 너도 멀리서 왔지! 너도 탐험가야.

 

You shall describe your planet to me!"

너의 행성에 대해서 나에게 이야기해줘"

 

And, having opened his big register, the geographer sharpened his pencil.

그의 기록부를  펼치고, 연필을 날카롭게 깎았다.

 

The recitals of explorers are put down first in pencil.

탐험가들의 리사이틀(공연)은 우선 연필로 쓰여진다.

 

One waits until the explorer has furnished proofs, before putting them down in ink.

탐험가들이 증거를 제시할 때까지 기다렸다가 비로소 잉크로 씌여진다. 

 

"Well?" said the geographer expectantly.

"응?"  지리학자는 기대하면서 말했다.
