Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle

 

 

Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucie, who lived at a farm called Little-town.

옛날 옛적, 루시라는 소녀가 "리틀-타운"이라는 농장에 살고 있었어요.

 

She was a good little girl― only she was always losing her pocket-handkerchiefs!

루시는 착한 소녀였어요. 언제나 손수건을 잃어버린다는 걸 빼면요!

 

One day little Lucie came into the farm-yard crying-oh, she did cry so!

어느 날, 작은 루시는 농장 부지 안으로 들어왔어요. 오, 소녀는 울고 있었어요!

 

"I've lost my poket-handkin! Three handkins and a pinny! Have you seen them, Tabby Kitten?"

"나 손수건을 잃어버렸어! 세 장의 손수건과 머리핀을 말이야! 혹시 보지 못했니, 얼룩 고양이야?"

 

The Kitten went on washing her white paws; so Lucie asked a speckled hen―

고양이는 하얀 발을 깨끗하게 만드느라 바빴어요. 그래서 루시는 얼룩덜룩한 암탉에게 물었어요.

 

"Sally Henny-penny, have you found three pocket-handkins?"

"샐리 헤니-페니, 혹시 손수건 세 장 봤니?"

 

But the speckled hen ran into a barn, clucking―

하지만 그 암탉은 꼬꼬댁거리며 헛간으로 달려가 버렸어요. 

 

"I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot!"

"나는 맨발로, 맨발로, 맨발로 다녀!"

 

And then Lucie asked Cock Robin sitting on a twig.
그 다음, 루시는 나뭇가지 위에 앉아 있는 울새에게 물었어요.

 

Cock Robin looked sideways at Lucie with his bright black eye, and he flew over a stile and away.

울새는 밝은 검은 눈동자로 루시를 곁눈질하더니 울타리를 넘어 날아가 버렸어요.

 

 

Lucie climbed upon the stile and looked up at the hill behind Little-town― a hill that goes up―up― into the clouds as though it had no top!

루시는 울타리 위로 올라가 리틀-타운 뒤로 펼쳐진 언덕을 올려다봤어요. 그 언덕은 구름을 뚫고 끊임없이 펼쳐져 있었어요. 꼭대기가 없는 것처럼!

 

And a great way up the hill-side she thought she saw some white things spread upon the grass.

언덕 꼭대기를 보며 루시는 생각했어요. 잔디 위에 하얀 것들이 펼쳐진 것처럼 보인다고.

 

Lucie scrambled up the hill as fast as her stout legs would carry her;

루시는 언덕을 오르기 시작했어요. 그녀의 통통한 다리가 그녀를 옮길 수 있는 최대한의 속도로.

 

She ran along a steep path-way―up and up―until Little-town was right away down below― she could have dropped a pebble down the chimney!

가파른 오솔길을 따라 달렸습니다. 오르고 올라, 리틀-타운이 바로 아래에 올 때까지― 루시는 굴뚝 아래로
조약돌을 떨어뜨릴 수 있을 만큼 올라갔습니다.

 

 

Presently she came to a spring, bubbling out from the hill-side.

지금, 그녀는 언덕 중턱의 부글부글 끓는 샘에 도착했습니다.

 

Some one had stood a tin can upon a stone to catch the water― but the water was already running over, for the can was no bigger than an egg-cup!

누군가 물을 받으려 깡통을 바위 위에 세워두었습니다. 하지만 깡통은 계란 컵보다 작아서, 물은 이미 넘치고
있었어요.

 

And where the sand upon the path was wet-there were foot- marks of a very small person.
그리고 오솔길의 모래는 젖어 있었어요. 아주 작은 사람의 발자국 모양대로.

 

Rucie ran on, and on.
루시는 달리고 달렸어요.

 

The path ended under a big rock. The grass was short and green, and there were clothes― props cut from bracken stems, with lines of plaited rushes, and a heap of tiny clothes pins but no pocket-handkerchiefs!

오솔길은 커다란 바위 아래에서 끊겼어요. 짧고 푸릇푸릇한 잔디가 있었고, 고사리 줄기에서 잘라낸 장식품과
땋은 골풀로 만든 빨랫줄과 작은 옷핀 더미가 있었어요. 하지만 손수건은 없었습니다.

 

 

But there was something else a door! straight into the hill; and inside it some one was singing

대신 그곳에는 또 다른 문이 있었습니다. 언덕으로 바로 들어가자 그 안에서 누군가 노래하고 있었습니다.

 

"Lily-white and clean, oh! With little frills between, oh! Smooth and hot red rusty spot! Never here be seen, oh!"

"백합처럼 하얗고 순결하구나, 오! 사이에 작은 프릴이 있어, 오! 부드럽고 뜨거운, 빨갛게 녹슨 곳도! 절대 여기선 보지 못해, 오!"

 

Lucie, knocked once-twice, and interrupted the song. 

루시가 똑, 똑, 두 번 노크하자 노래가 멈췄어요.

 

A little frightened voice called out "Who's that?"

살짝 겁먹은 목소리가 물었어요. "거기 누구예요?"

Lucie opened the door: and what do you think there was inside the hill? -a nice clean kitchen with a flagged floor and wooden beams- just like any other farm kitchen.

루시는 문을 열었어요. 언덕 안에 무엇이 있었을까요? 돌이 깔린 바닥과 목재 기둥이 있는 깨끗한 부엌이 있었어요.
다른 농장의 부엌과 비교해도 손색이 없을 정도로 멋졌습니다.

 

Only the ceiling was so low that lucie's head nearly touched it; and the pots and pans were small, and so was everything there.

하지만 천장이 너무 낮아서 루시의 머리가 닿을락말락 했어요. 그리고 냄비와 팬들, 거기 있는 모든 것이 조그마했습니다.

 

There was a nice hot singey smell; and at the table, with an iron in her hand stood a very stout short person staring anxiously at Lucie.

매우 뜨거운 그을음 냄새가 났습니다. 그리고 테이블에는, 매우 짧고 다부진 사람이 다리미를 쥐고 선 채 초조한 얼굴로 루시를 바라보고 있었습니다.

Her print gown was tucked up, and she was wearing a large apron over her striped petticoat.

그녀의 프린트 가운은 쑤셔 넣어져 있었고, 그녀가 입은 앞치마는 그 아래 줄무늬 페티코트에 비해 너무 컸어요.

 

Her little black nose went sniffle, sniffle, sniffle, and her eyes went twinkle, twinkle; and underneath her cap-where Lucie had yellow curls- that little person had PRICKLES!

그녀의 작은 코는 움찔, 움찔, 움찔거렸고 눈동자는 반짝, 반짝거렸습니다. 그리고 그녀의 모자 아래-루시의 금발 곱슬 머리가 있던- 작은 사람은 곤두선 가시를 가지고 있었습니다!

 

 

"Who are you?" said Lucie. "Have you seen my pocket-handkins?"

"누구세요?" 루시가 말했습니다. "제 손수건 보셨나요?"

 

The little person made a bob-curtsey "Oh, yes, if you please'm; my name is Mrs. Tiggy-winkle; oh, yes, if you please'm, I'm an excellent clear-starcher!" And she took something out of a clothes-basket, and spread it on the ironing-blanket.

작은 인간은 무릎을 굽히고 허리 숙여 인사했어요. "오, 그럼요. (당신이 물어보신다면) 소개해야죠. 제 이름은 티기-윙클 부인이에요. 오, 그럼요. (당신이 물어보신다면) 소개해야죠. 저는 매우 훌륭한 수선공이에요!" 그리고 그녀는 옷바구니에서 무언가 가져와 다리미판(다림질용 매트)에 펼쳐두었어요.

"What's that thing?" said Lucie― "that's not my pocket-handkin?"

"그건 뭔가요?" 루시가 물었어요. "내 손수건은 아니죠?"

 

"Oh no, if you please'm; that's a little scarlet waist-coat belonging to Cock Robin!"

"오, 아뇨. 이건 울새가 맡긴 작고 붉은 조끼예요."

 

And she ironed it and folded it, and put it on one side.

그녀는 그것을 다리고 접은 후, 한쪽에 넣어두었어요.

 

 

Then she took something else off a clothes-horse― "That isn't my pinny?" said Lucie.

그런 후 그녀는 빨래 건조대에서 다른 것을 가져왔어요. "그건 내 앞치마 아닌가요?" 루시가 물었어요.

 

"Oh no, if you please'm; that's a damask table-cloth belonging to Jenny Wren; look how it's  stained with currant wine! It's very bad rto wash!" said Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

"오, 아뇨. 이건 굴뚝새가 맡긴 다마스크 식탁보예요. 봐요, 이 포도주 얼룩을! 이건 정말 지워지지 않죠."

 

Mrs. Tiggy-winkle's nose went sniffle, sniffle, snuffle, and her eyes went twinkle, twinkle; and she fetched another hot iron from the fire.

티기-윙클 부인의 코는 움찔, 움찔, 움찔거렸고 눈동자는 반짝반짝거렸어요. 그리고 그녀는 불속에서 달군 또 하나의 다리미를 가져왔습니다.

 

 

"There's one of my pocket-handkins!" cried Lucie― "and there's my pinny!"

"저기 내 손수건이 있어요!" 루시가 울기 시작했습니다. "내 앞치마도!"

 

Mrs. Tiggy-winkle ironed it, and goffered it, and shook out the frills.

티기-윙클 부인은 그것을 다리고, 주름을 잡은 다음, 프릴들을 털었어요.

 

"Oh that is lovely!" said Lucie.

"와, 예뻐요!" 루시가 외쳤어요.

 

 

"And what are those long yellow things with fingers like gloves?"

"그리고 기다란 노란색 손가락이 달린 장갑 같은 것은 뭔가요?"

 

"Oh, that's a pair of stockings belonging to Sally Henny-penny― look how she's worn the heels out with scratching in the yard! She'll very soon go barefoot!" said Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

"오! 그건 샐리 헤니-페니가 맡긴 스타킹이랍니다! 보세요, 마당을 긁어댄 탓에 뒤꿈치가 닳아 버렸어요. 그녀는 금세 맨발이 되어버릴 거예요!" 티기-윙클 부인이 말했어요.

 

 

"Why, there's another handkersniff― but it isn't mine; it's red?"

"왜, 손수건이 한 장 더 있어요. 하지만 제 건 아니에요. 빨간색이네요?"

 

"Oh no, if you please'm; that one belongs to old Mrs. Rabbit; and it did so smell of onions! I've had to wash it separately, I can't get out the smell."

"오, 아뇨. 그건 나이가 지긋한 토끼 부인이 맡긴 거예요. 양파 냄새가 심하게 배어버렸죠. 나는 그걸 따로 빨아 보았지만, 도저히 냄새가 빠지지 않아요."

 

"There's another one of mine," said Lucie.

"저기, 또 제 손수건이 있어요." 루시가 말했어요.

 

 

"What are those funny little white things?"

"저기 이상하게 생긴 조그만 하얀 것은 무엇인가요?"

 

"That's a pair of mittens belonging to Tabby Kitten; I only have to iron them; she washes them herself."

"그건 얼룩 고양이가 맡긴 장갑이에요. 나는 다림질만 해주면 돼요. 빨래는 그녀가 직접 하거든요."

 

"There's my last pocket-handkin!" said Lucie.

"내 마지막 손수건이에요!" 루시가 말했어요.

 

 

"And what are you dipping into the basin of starch?"

"그런데, 대야 속 풀에 무엇을 담가둔 거예요?"

 

"They're little dicky shirt-fronts belonging to Tom Titmouse―most terrible particular!" said Mrs. Tiggy-winkle. "Now I've finished my ironing; I'm going to air some clothes."

"그건 수컷 박새가 맡긴 목에 대는 작은 셔츠― 제일 끔찍히 까다로운 세탁물이랍니다." 티기-윙클 부인이 말했어요. "이제 다림질을 끝냈으니, 옷들을 말려야겠어요."

 

 

"What are these dear soft fluffy things?" said Lucie.

"저 사랑스럽고 폭신폭신한 솜털들은 뭔가요?" 루시가 물었습니다.

 

"Oh, Those are woolly coats belonging to the little lambs at Skelghyl."

"오, 그건 스켈길에 사는 아기 양들이 맡긴 털 코트랍니다."

 

"Will their jackets take off?" asked Lucie.

"양털 재킷을 벗을 수 있어요?" 루시가 물었습니다.

 

"Oh, yes. If you please'm; look at the sheep-mark on the shoulder. And here's one marked for Gatesgarth, and three that come from Little-town. They're always marked at washing!" said Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

"오, 그럼요. 여기 어깨에 찍힌 양털 마크를 보세요. 그리고 여기 하나는 게이츠가스에서, 그리고 세 개는 리틀-타운
에서 왔죠. 그들은 언제나 세탁할 때 표시해둬요." 티기-윙클 부인이 대답했습니다.

 

 

And she hung up all sorts and sizes of clothes― small brown coats of mice; and one velvety black moleskin waist-coat; and a red tailcoat with no tail belonging to Squirrel Nutkin; and a very much shrunk blue jacket belonging to Peter Rabbit; and a petticoat, not marked, that had gone lost in the washing― and at last the basket was empty!

그녀는 모든 종류, 사이즈의 옷을 걸기 시작했습니다―쥐의 작은 갈색 코트들, 매끄러운 두더지 가죽으로 만든 검은 조끼 한 벌, 다람쥐 넛킨이 맡긴 꼬리가 없는 붉은 연미복 한 벌, 그리고 피터 래빗이 맡긴 매우 심각하게 줄어든 파란 재킷 한 벌, 빨래 도중 표식을 잃어버린 속치마 한 벌― 바구니가 텅 비어서 바닥을 보일 때까지!

 

Then Mrs. Tiggy-winkle made tea a cup for herself and a cup for Lucie.

그러고 난 후, 티기-윙클 부인은 한 잔은 자신을 위해, 다른 한 잔은 루시를 위해 차를 끓였습니다.

 

They sat before the fire on a bench and looked sideways at one another. 

그들은 벽난로 앞에 놓인 의자에 앉아 서로를 곁눈질했습니다.

 

Mrs. Tiggy-winkle's hand, holding the tea-cup, was very very brown, and very very wrinkly with the soap-suds; and all through her gown and her cap, there were hair-pins sticking wrong end out; so that Lucie didn't like to sit to. 

컵을 쥔 티기-윙클 부인의 손은 매우 매우 갈색이었고, 주름 사이사이 비눗물이 묻어 있었어요. 또 그녀의 머리핀들은 가운과 모자를 뚫고 아무렇게나 뾰족뾰족 튀어나와 있었어요. 그래서 루시는 편하게 앉을 수 없었어요.

 

 

When they had finished tea, they tied up the clothes in bundles; and Lucie's pocket-handkerchiefs were folded up inside her clean pinny, and fastened with a silver safety-pin.

그들은 차를 다 마신 후, 옷다발을 묶었습니다. 루시의 손수건들은 접어서 깨끗해진 앞치마에 넣었어요. 그리고 은색 옷핀들로 고정했습니다.

 

And then they made up the fire with turf, and came out and locked the door, and hid the key under the door-sill.

벽난로에 뗄감을 넣어서 불을 지피고, 문을 잠그고 나온 뒤 열쇠는 문턱 아래 숨겨두었습니다.

 

Then away down the hill trotted Lucie and Mrs. Tiggy-winkle with the bundles of clothes!

루시와 티기-윙클 부인은 옷꾸러미를 챙겨 빠르게 언덕을 내려왔습니다.

 

All the way down the path little animals came out of the fern to meet them; the very first that they met were Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny!

오솔길을 내려가는 동안, 그들을 만나려고 고사리 수풀을 헤치고 나온 작은 동물들을 마주쳤습니다. 제일 처음 만난 건 피터 래빗과 벤자민 버니였어요!

 

And she gave them their nice clean clothes; and all the little animals and birds were so very much obliged to dear Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

그리고 그녀는 아주 깨끗해진 옷들을 주었습니다. 모든 작은 동물들과 새들은 친절한 티기-윙클 부인에게 매우 
고마워 했어요.

 

 

So that at the bottom of the hill when they came to the stile, there was nothing left to carry except Lucie's one little bundle.

두 사람이 언덕을 다 내려와 울타리에 도착했을 때, 루시의 작은 꾸러미 말고는 아무것도 남아 있지 않았어요.

 

Lucie scrambled up the stile with the bundle in her hand; and then she turned to say "Good-night." and to thank the washer-woman― But what a very odd thing! Mrs. Tiggy-winkle had not waited  either for thanks or for the washing bill!

루시는 옷꾸러미를 들고 울타리를 넘었어요. 그리고 돌아서서 "안녕히 주무세요." 수선공에게 저녁 인사와 감사 인사를 전했어요. 하지만 이상한 일이에요! 티기-윙클 부인은 감사 인사도, 세탁비도 기다리지 않았어요!

 

She was running running running up the hill― and where was her white frilled cap? and her shawl and her gown― and her petticoat?

그녀는 언덕을 달리고, 달리고, 달려 올라갔어요. 그런데 그녀의 하얀 프릴 모자는, 숄은, 가운은, 그리고 속치마는
어디로 갔나요?

And how small she had grown― and how brown― and covered with PRICKLES!

그녀는 작아지더니― 갈색이 되고― 또 뾰족한 가시로 뒤덮였어요!

 

Why! Mrs. Tiggy-winkle was nothing but a HEDGEHOG.

왜냐면! 티기-윙클 부인은 그 무엇도 아닌, 바로 고슴도치였거든요.

 

 

(Now some people say that little Lucie had been asleep upon the stile― but then how could she have found three clean pocket-handkins and a pinny, pinned with a silver safety-pin?

지금, 어떤 사람은 소녀 루시가 울타리 아래에서 졸았다고 말하곤 합니다. 하지만 그렇다면 그녀가 어떻게 깨끗해진
손수건 세 개와 앞치마, 그것들에 꽂힌 은색 옷핀을 찾았겠어요?

 

And besides― I have seen that door into the back of the hill called Cat Bells― and besides I am  very well acquainted with dear Mrs. Tiggy-winkle!)

게다가 나는 캣 벨스라고 불리는 언덕 뒤편으로 난 문을 보았어요. 그뿐 아니라, 나는 친절한 티기-윙클 부인을 아주 잘 알고 있답니다!
