어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 69

The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen.

 

I replied, "Yes, that is so."

 

And, without saying anything more, I looked across the ridges of sand that were stretched out before us in the moonlight.

 

"The desert is beautiful." the little prince added.

 

And that was true.

 

I have always loved the desert.

 

One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing.

 

Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams...

 

"What makes the desert beautiful." said the little prince,

 

"is that somewhere it hides a well."

 

I was astonished by a sudden understanding of that mysterious radiation of the sands.

 

When I was a little boy I loved on an old house, and legend told us that a treasure was buried there.

 

To be sure, no one had ever known how to find it, perhaps no one had ever even looked for it.

 

But it cast an enchantment over that house.

 

My home was hiding a secret in the depths of its heart.

 

"yes " 

 

I said to the little prince.

 

"The house, the stars, the desert- what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible."

The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen.

별들은 아름답지. 왜냐하면 보이지 않는 꽃 때문이야.

 

I replied, "Yes, that is so."

"맞아요. 그건 그래요." 나는 대답했다.

 

And, without saying anything more, I looked across the ridges of sand that were stretched out before us in the moonlight.

그리고, 나는 말없이. 달빛 속에서 펼쳐저 있는 모래 언덕을 바라보았다.

 

"The desert is beautiful." the little prince added.

"사막은 아름다워" 어린 왕자가 덧붙였다.

 

And that was true.

그건 사실이었다.

 

I have always loved the desert.

나는 항상 사막을 사랑했다.

 

One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing.

모래언덕에 앉으면, 아무것도 볼 수 없고, 아무것도 들을 수 없다.

 

Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams...

하지만 그 침묵속에서도 무엇인가 웅웅거리는 소리를 내고 희미하게 반짝이고 있다.

 

"What makes the desert beautiful." said the little prince,

"사막이 아름다운이유는" 어린왕자가 말했다.

 

"is that somewhere it hides a well."

"어딘가에 우물을 감추고 있기 때문이야."

 

I was astonished by a sudden understanding of that mysterious radiation of the sands.

나는 이 모래들이 신비롭게 빛을 발하는 이유를 알고는 깜짝 놀랬다.

 

When I was a little boy I loved on an old house, and legend told us that a treasure was buried there.

내가 어릴 때 나는 내가 살던 오래된 집을 매우 사랑했는데, 거기에 보물이 묻혀 있다는 전설이 있었다.

 

To be sure, no one had ever known how to find it, perhaps no one had ever even looked for it.

사실... 아무도 그것을 찾는 방법은 몰랐다. 아마도 아무도 못봤기 때문일것이다.

 

But it cast an enchantment over that house.

하지만 그 집은 마법으로 가득했다.

 

My home was hiding a secret in the depths of its heart.

우리집은 마음 깊은 곳에 비밀을 하나 숨기고 있었다.

 

"yes "  I said to the little prince.

"그래"  나는 어린왕자에게 말했다.

 

"The house, the stars, the desert- what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible."

"집과 별과 사막.. 그것을 아름답게 만드는 것은 눈에 보이지 않는 어떤 것이야."
