The Very Lonely Firefly, Eric Carle

외로운 반딧불이(개똥벌레), 에릭 칼

 

As the sun set a lillte firefly was born.

It stretched its wings and flew off into the darkening sky.

해가 지자 아기 반딧불이가 태어났어요.

날개를 펴더니 어두운 하늘로 날아가 버렸어요.

 

It was a lonely firefly and it flashed its light searching for other fireflies.

외로운 반딧불이는 불빛을 반짝이며 다른 반딧불이들을 찾고 있습니다. 

 

The firefly saw a light and flew toward it.

But it was not another firefly.

It was a lightbulb lighting up the night.

반딧불이는 반짝이는 불빛을 보았습니다. 그리곤 날아갔죠 

그러나 그것은 다른 반딧불이가 아니었습니다. 

그것은 밤을 밝히는 백열전구였어요.

 

"Hear that noise?"

저 소리 들리니?

 

The firefly saw a light and flew toward it.

But it was not another firefly.

It was a candle flickering in the night.

반딧불이는 또 다른 불빛을 보곤 그 불빛 쪽으로 날아갔습니다. 
그러나 그것은 다른 반딧불이가 아니었습니다. 
그것은 어두운 밤을 비추는 촛불이었습니다. 

 

"what's going on?"

무슨 일이야?

 

The firefly saw a light and flew toward it.

But is was not another firefly.

It was a flashlight shining in the night.

반딧불이는 또 다른 불빛을 보곤 그 불빛 쪽으로 날아갔습니다. 
그러나 그것은 다른 반딧불이가 아니었습니다.
그것은 어두운 밤에 번쩍이는 손전등이었습니다. 

 

"Quiet out there!"

밖에 조용해!

 

The firefly saw a light and flew toward it.

But is was not another firefly.

It was a lantern glowing in the night.

반딧불이는 또다시 불빛을 보았습니다. 그 불빛 쪽으로 날아갔습니다. 
그러나 그것은 다른 반딧불이가 아니었습니다. 
그것은 밤에 빛나는 등불이었다.

 

"What is it?" 

뭐야? 

"Hey! Stop fighting!"

야 그만 싸워!

 

The firefly saw several lights and flew toward them.

But they were not other fireflies.

반딧불이는 여러 갈래의 불빛을 보곤 그 불빛 쪽으로 날아갔습니다. 
그러나 그것은 다른 반딧불이가 아니었습니다. 

 

There was a dog and...

거기에는 강아지와 그리고... 

 

"Grrr, Bow Wow"

 

a cat and...

고양이 그리고... 

 

"Meow, Hisss"

 

an owl, their eyes reflecting the lights.

올빼미, 그들 모두의 눈은 초롱초롱 반짝였습니다. 

 

"Hoot"

 

The firefly saw a light and flew toward it.

But it was not another firefly.

It was a car's headlights flooding the night.

반딧불이는 또 다른 불빛을 보곤 그 불빛 쪽으로 날아갔습니다. 

그러나 그것은 다른 반딧불이가 아니었습니다. 

그것은 어둠 속에서 출렁이는 자동차 전조등의 불빛이었습니다.

 

The firefly saw many lights and flew toward them.

But they were not other fireflies.

They were fireworks sparkling and glittering and shimmering in the night.

반딧불이는 많은 불빛을 보았습니다. 그리고 그 불빛 쪽으로 날아갔습니다. 
그러나 그것은 다른 반딧불이가 아니었습니다. 
그것은 밤하늘을 수놓는 반짝이고 껌벅거리는 휘황찬란한 불꽃이었습니다. 

 

When all was quiet, the firefly through the night flashing its light, looking and searching again.

Then the very lonely firefly saw what it had been looking for...

세상이 고요해지자, 반딧불이는 자신의 빛을 반짝거리며 친구들을 다시 찾으며 밤하늘을 날고 있습니다. 

그때, 아주 외로운 반딧불이는 찾고 있던 바로 그것을 보았습니다. 

 

A group of fireflies, flashing their lights.

Now the firefly wasn't lonely anymore.

반딧불들이 모여서 반짝이고 있습니다. 
이제 꼬마 반딧불이는 더 이상 외롭지 않습니다.
