어린 왕자 원서 필사하기 - 83

At one time I say to myself; 

 

"Surely not! The little prince shuts his flower under her glass glove every night, and he watches over his sheep very carefully..."

 

Then I am happy. And there is sweetness in laughter of all the stars.

 

But at another time I say to myself.

 

"At some moment or other one is absent minded, and that is enough! 

 

On some one evening he forgot the glass globe, or their sheep got out, without making any noise, in the night..."

 

And then the little bells are changed to tears...

 

Here, then, is a great mystery.

 

For you who also love the little prince, and for me, nothing in the universe can be the same if somewhere, we do not know where, a sheep that we never saw has - yes or no - eaten a rose...

 

Look up at the sky. Ask yourselves: is it yes or no? 

 

Has the sheep eaten the flower?

 

And you will see how everything changes...

 

And no grown-up will ever understand that this is a matter of so much importance!

At one time I say to myself; 

어떤 순간에는 나는 이렇게 혼잣말을 한다.

 

"Surely not! The little prince shuts his flower under her glass glove every night, and he watches over his sheep very carefully..."

"확실히 아닐거야. 어린 왕자는 그의 꽃을 매일 밤 유리 덮개로 덮어준다. 그리고 그의 양들을 주의깊게 살펴볼거야."

 

Then I am happy. And there is sweetness in laughter of all the stars.

그러면 나는 행복해진다. 거기에는 모든 별들의 웃는 따스함이 있다.

 

But at another time I say to myself.

하지만 또다른 순간에는 이렇게 혼잣말을 한다.

 

"At some moment or other one is absent minded, and that is enough! 

"어느 순간.. 잊어버렸다면? 그걸로 끝이야!!

 

On some one evening he forgot the glass globe, or their sheep got out, without making any noise, in the night..."

어느날 저녁에 그가 유리덮개를 잊었고... 그들의 양이 소리없이 밤에 나와 버렸다면 말이지"

 

And then the little bells are changed to tears...

그러면 작은 별들이 눈물로 변한다.

 

Here, then, is a great mystery.

이것이 바로 커다란 수수께끼이다.

 

For you who also love the little prince, and for me, nothing in the universe can be the same if somewhere, we do not know where, a sheep that we never saw has - yes or no - eaten a rose...

어린 왕자를 사랑하는 너나 나에게는 우리가 모르는 어딘가에서 우리가 본 적이 없는 양이 장미꽃을 먹어 버렸는가.. 먹지 않았는가 하는 사실이 같지 않다.

 

Look up at the sky. Ask yourselves: is it yes or no? Has the sheep eaten the flower?

하늘을 봐라. 스스로에게 물어봐라. 양이 꽃을 먹었을지.. 아니면 안 먹었을지..

 

And you will see how everything changes...

그리고 이것에 따라 모든 것이 변한다는 사실을 알 수 있을 것이다.

 

And no grown-up will ever understand that this is a matter of so much importance!

그리고 어른들은 이것이 왜 이렇게 중요한 문제인지 이해하지 못할 것이다.

absent minded = forgettful 건망증이 심한, 정신이 팔린.
