Opening the reader…
매일 오후 학교 수업이 끝나면, 아이들은 거인의 정원에 가서 놀곤 했다.
Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant’s garden.
그곳은 부드러운 초록빛 풀이 자라는 넓고 아름다운 정원이었다.
It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass.
풀밭 곳곳에는 별처럼 아름다운 꽃들이 피어 있었고 복숭아나무 열두 그루가 있었다. 그 나무들은 봄에는 분홍빛과 진줏빛의 고운 꽃을 피웠고, 가을에는 풍성한 열매를 맺었다.
Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit.
새들은 나무 위에 앉아 매우 감미롭게 노래해서, 아이들은 노래를 들으려고 놀이를 멈추곤 했다. 아이들은 서로에게 외쳤다. “우리 여기서 정말 행복해!”
The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other.
어느 날 거인이 돌아왔다. 거인은 친구인 콘월의 식인귀를 만나러 갔다가 7년 동안 그와 함께 지냈었다.
One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years.
7년이 지나자 거인은 할 말을 다 했다. 거인은 나눌 수 있는 대화가 한정되어 있었기 때문이었다. 그래서 거인은 자신의 성으로 돌아가기로 결심했다. 성에 도착했을 때 거인은 아이들이 정원에서 놀고 있는 모습을 보았다.
After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.
“너희들 여기서 뭐 하고 있어?” 거인이 매우 거친 목소리로 소리치자 아이들은 달아났다.
“What are you doing here?” he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.
“내 정원은 바로 내 정원이야.” 거인이 말했다. “누구라도 그건 알 수 있어. 나 말고는 아무도 여기서 놀지 못하게 할 거야.” 그래서 거인은 정원 둘레에 높은 담을 쌓고 안내판을 세웠다.
“My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant; “any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.

거인은 매우 이기적인 거인이었다.
He was a very selfish Giant.
불쌍한 아이들은 이제 놀 곳이 없었다. 아이들은 길에서 놀려고 했지만, 길에는 먼지가 많고 단단한 돌투성이여서 마음에 들지 않았다.
The poor children had now nowhere to play. They tried to play on the road, but the road was very dusty and full of hard stones, and they did not like it.
아이들은 수업이 끝나면 높은 담 둘레를 서성거리며 담장 안의 아름다운 정원에 대해 이야기하곤 했다. 아이들은 서로에게 말했다. “그곳에서 우리는 정말 행복했어.”
They used to wander round the high wall when their lessons were over, and talk about the beautiful garden inside. “How happy we were there,” they said to each other.
