The fairies assembled one moonlit night in a pretty clearing of the ancient forest of Burzee.
요정들은 달빛이 비치는 어느 밤, 부르제 고대 숲의 아름다운 공터에 모였습니다.
The clearing was in the form of a circle, and all around stood giant oak and fir trees, while in the center the grass grew green and soft as velvet.
그 공터는 원형이었고, 주위에는 거대한 참나무와 전나무가 서 있었으며, 가운데에는 벨벳처럼 푸르고 부드러운 풀이 자라 있었습니다.
If any mortal had ever penetrated so far into the great forest, and could have looked upon the fairy circle by daylight, he might perhaps have seen a tiny path worn in the grass by the feet of the dancing elves.
만일 어떤 필멸자가 그 거대한 숲 속 깊숙이 들어가 낮에 요정의 원을 볼 수 있었다면, 춤추는 요정들의 발에 의해 풀밭에 새겨진 작은 길을 보았을지도 모릅니다.
For here, during the full of the moon, the famous fairy band, ruled by good Queen Lulea, loved to dance and make merry while the silvery rays flooded the clearing and caused their gauzy wings to sparkle with every color of the rainbow.
보름달이 뜬 이곳에서는 선량한 여왕 룰레아가 다스리는 유명한 요정 무리가 춤추고 즐거워하기를 좋아했는데, 은빛 햇살이 숲속 공터를 가득 채우고 그들의 얇은 날개를 무지개의 모든 색깔로 반짝이게 했기 때문입니다.
On this especial night, however, they were not dancing.
그러나 이 특별한 밤에는 그들이 춤을 추지 않았습니다.
For the queen had seated herself upon a little green mound, and while her band clustered about her she began to address the fairies in a tone of discontent.
여왕은 작은 녹색 언덕 위에 앉았고, 그녀의 신하들이 그녀 주위에 모여들자 불만스러운 어조로 요정들에게 말을 걸기 시작했습니다.
“I am tired of dancing, my dears,” said she.
“얘들아, 나는 춤추는 게 지겨워.” 그녀가 말했다.
“Every evening since the moon grew big and round we have come here to frisk about and laugh and disport ourselves; and although those are good things to keep the heart light, one may grow weary even of merrymaking.
“달이 크고 둥글게 된 이후로 매일 저녁 우리는 이곳에 와서 뛰어다니고 웃고 즐거워했습니다. 비록 그런 것들이 마음을 가볍게 하는 좋은 일이지만, 즐거운 놀이조차도 지칠 수 있습니다.
