About the book

Three children move with their mother to a house in the country near a railway after their father is suddenly taken away. They make friends with the railway staff and have a series of adventures.

From the text

“They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's.” The Railway Children · E. Nesbit

They were not railway children to begin with.

그들은 애초에 철도 아이들이 아니었습니다.

I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's.

나는 그들이 마스켈린과 쿡의 팬터마임, 동물원, 마담 투소 박물관에 가는 수단 외에는 철도에 대해 생각해 본 적이 없다고 생각합니다.

They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.

그들은 그저 평범한 교외 아이들이었고, 아버지와 어머니와 함께 현관에 색유리가 박힌 평범한 붉은 벽돌집에 살았으며, 복도라고 불리는 타일이 깔린 통로, 온수와 냉수가 나오는 욕실, 전기 초인종, 프랑스식 창문, 그리고 흰색 페인트가 많이 칠해져 있었고, 부동산 중개인들이 말하는 '모든 현대적인 편의 시설'을 갖추고 있었습니다.

There were three of them.

그들은 셋이었다.

Roberta was the eldest.

로베르타는 장녀였다.

Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother HAD had a favourite, it might have been Roberta.

물론 어머니는 결코 편애하지 않지만, 만약 어머니에게 편애하는 자녀가 있었다면 로베르타였을지도 모릅니다.

Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.

그다음은 피터였는데, 그는 자라서 엔지니어가 되기를 원했습니다. 그리고 막내는 필리스였는데, 그녀는 매우 좋은 의도를 가지고 있었습니다.

Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her.

어머니는 따분한 여인들을 찾아뵙는 데 시간을 허비하거나, 집에 앉아서 따분한 여인들이 찾아오기를 기다리는 데 시간을 허비하지 않으셨습니다.
