“you have quite drenched me.”
“당신이 나를 완전히 흠뻑 적셨군요.”
“When I was alive and had a human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in the Palace of Sans-Souci, where sorrow is not allowed to enter.
“내가 살아 있었고 인간의 마음을 가졌을 때,” 조각상이 대답했다. “나는 눈물이 무엇인지 몰랐다. 왜냐하면 나는 슬픔이 들어올 수 없는 상수시 궁전에 살았기 때문이다.”
In the daytime I played with my companions in the garden, and in the evening I led the dance in the Great Hall.
낮에는 정원에서 친구들과 놀았고, 저녁에는 큰 홀에서 춤을 이끌었습니다.
Round the garden ran a very lofty wall, but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it, everything about me was so beautiful.
정원 주위에는 아주 높은 담이 둘러져 있었지만, 나는 그 너머에 무엇이 있는지 묻고 싶어 하지 않았다. 내 주변의 모든 것이 너무나 아름다웠기 때문이다.
My courtiers called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was, if pleasure be happiness.
나의 신하들은 나를 행복한 왕자라 불렀고, 만약 즐거움이 행복이라면 나는 참으로 행복했습니다.
So I lived, and so I died.
그리하여 나는 살았고, 그리하여 죽었다.
And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugliness and all the misery of my city, and though my heart is made of lead yet I cannot chose but weep.”
이제 내가 죽었으니 그들은 나를 이렇게 높은 곳에 올려놓았구나. 그래서 나는 내 도시의 모든 추악함과 비참함을 볼 수 있구나. 내 마음은 납으로 만들어졌지만 눈물을 흘리지 않을 수 없구나.
“What! is he not solid gold?” said the Swallow to himself.
“뭐라고! 저건 순금으로 만든 게 아니란 말인가?” 제비가 속으로 말했다.
