언덕 위의 집
The House on the Hill
하와이 섬에 한 남자가 있었다. 나는 그를 케아웨라고 부르겠다. 사실 그는 아직 살아 있어서, 이름을 비밀로 해야 한다. 그는 호나우나우 근처에서 태어났다. 그리고 위대한 케아웨의 뼈가 그곳의 동굴에 숨겨져 있다.
There was a man of the Island of Hawaii. I will call him Keawe. The truth is that he is still alive, so his name must stay secret. He was born near Honaunau. And the bones of Keawe the Great lie hidden in a cave there.
케아웨는 가난했지만 용감하고 부지런했다. 그리고 선생님처럼 읽고 쓸 수 있었다. 그는 훌륭한 선원이기도 했다. 섬을 오가는 증기선에서 일했고, 하마쿠아 해안에서 고래잡이 보트의 키를 잡았다. 그러다 어느 날 넓은 세상과 외국의 도시를 보고 싶어졌다. 그래서 샌프란시스코로 가는 배에서 일자리를 찾았다.
Keawe was poor, brave and busy, and he could read and write like a schoolmaster. He was also an excellent sailor. He worked on the island steamers, and he steered a whaleboat on the Hamakua coast. Then one day he wanted to see the big world and foreign cities. So he found work on a ship to San Francisco.
샌프란시스코는 좋은 항구가 있는 아름다운 도시였다. 부자들이 많이 살았다. 한 언덕에는 집이 모두 궁전 같았다.
San Francisco was a beautiful town with a good harbour. It was full of rich people. On one hill, all the houses were like palaces.
어느 날 케아웨는 주머니에 돈을 가득 넣고 이 언덕을 걸어 올라갔다. 그는 양쪽의 큰 집들을 보았다. “정말 아름다운 집들이다!” 하고 그는 생각했다. “여기 사람들은 내일 걱정이 없으니까 아주 행복할 거야!”
One day Keawe walked up this hill with his pocket full of money. He looked at the big houses on both sides. “What beautiful houses!” he thought. “The people here must be very happy, because they have no worries about tomorrow!”
그때 다른 집보다 작은 집이 나왔다. 하지만 장난감처럼 완벽했다. 계단은 은처럼 빛났고, 정원에는 꽃이 가득했다. 창문은 다이아몬드처럼 밝았다. 케아웨는 가만히 서서 그 집을 바라보았다.
Then he came to a house that was smaller than the others. But it was as perfect as a toy. Its steps shone like silver, and its garden was full of flowers. Its windows were as bright as diamonds. Keawe stood still and stared at it.
그때 한 남자가 밖을 내다보는 것이 보였다. 창문이 아주 깨끗했다. 그래서 케아웨는 바위 웅덩이 속의 물고기를 보듯 그를 보았다. 남자는 늙었고, 머리가 벗어졌고, 검은 수염이 있었다. 얼굴이 아주 슬퍼 보였고, 그는 한숨을 쉬었다.
Then he saw a man who was looking out at him. The window was very clear. So Keawe saw him like a fish in a pool on the reef. The man was old, with a bald head and a black beard. His face was very sad, and he sighed.
케아웨는 안에 있는 남자를 보았고, 남자는 밖에 있는 케아웨를 보았다. 사실 두 사람은 서로를 부러워했다.
Keawe looked in at the man, and the man looked out at Keawe. And the truth is that each man was jealous of the other.
갑자기 남자가 웃으면서 고개를 끄덕였고, 케아웨에게 들어오라고 손짓했다. 그는 문에서 케아웨를 맞았다.
Suddenly the man smiled and nodded, and he waved to Keawe to come in. He met him at the door.
“내 집은 아주 좋은 집입니다.” 남자는 이렇게 말하고 다시 한숨을 쉬었다. “방을 보시겠습니까?”
“This is a fine house of mine,” said the man, and he sighed again. “Do you want to see the rooms?”
남자는 케아웨를 데리고 지하실에서 지붕까지 집 전체를 보여 주었다. 모든 것이 완벽했고, 케아웨는 아주 놀랐다.
He took Keawe all through the house, from the cellar to the roof. Everything in it was perfect, and Keawe was very surprised.
“정말 아름다운 집입니다.” 케아웨가 말했다. “이런 집이 내게 있으면 나는 하루 종일 웃을 겁니다. 그런데 왜 한숨을 쉬십니까?”
“This really is a beautiful house,” said Keawe. “Give me a house like this, and I will laugh all day long. So why are you sighing?”
“원하면 이런 집이나 더 좋은 집을 가질 수 있습니다.” 남자가 말했다. “돈이 좀 있지요?”
“You can have a house like this one, or a better one, if you want,” said the man. “You have some money, I think?”
“오십 달러가 있습니다.” 케아웨가 말했다. “하지만 이런 집은 오십 달러보다 더 비쌉니다.”
“I have fifty dollars,” said Keawe. “But a house like this costs more than fifty dollars.”
