Opening the reader…
유명한 에드워드 3세 국왕의 치세에 딕 휘팅턴이라는 어린 소년이 살았다. 딕은 아주 어렸을 때 부모님을 모두 여의었다.
In the reign of the famous King Edward III. there was a little boy called Dick Whittington, whose father and mother died when he was very young.
가련한 딕은 아직 일할 나이가 되지 않아 형편이 몹시 어려웠다. 점심은 아주 조금밖에 먹지 못했고, 아침은 굶기 일쑤였다. 마을 사람들도 몹시 가난해서 딕에게 감자 껍질이나 가끔 딱딱한 빵 껍질 말고는 나누어 줄 것이 거의 없었기 때문이었다.
As poor Dick was not old enough to work, he was very badly off; he got but little for his dinner, and sometimes nothing at all for his breakfast; for the people who lived in the village were very poor indeed, and could not spare him much more than the parings of potatoes, and now and then a hard crust of bread.
그런데 딕은 런던이라는 대도시에 대해 아주 신기한 이야기를 많이 들었다. 그 시절 시골 사람들은 런던 사람들이 모두 훌륭한 신사와 숙녀라고 생각했다. 또한 그곳에서는 온종일 노래와 음악이 흐르고, 거리는 온통 금으로 포장되어 있다고 믿었다.
Now Dick had heard a great many very strange things about the great city called London; for the country people at that time thought that folks in London were all fine gentlemen and ladies; and that there was singing and music there all day long; and that the streets were all paved with gold.
어느 날, 딕이 이정표 옆에 서 있을 때 말들의 머리에 모두 방울을 단 커다란 짐마차가 여덟 필의 말에 이끌려 마을을 지나갔다.
One day a large waggon and eight horses, all with bells at their heads, drove through the village while Dick was standing by the sign-post.
딕은 이 짐마차가 멋진 런던 도시로 가고 있을 것이라고 생각했다. 그래서 용기를 내어 마부에게 마차 옆을 따라 함께 걷게 해 달라고 부탁했다.
He thought that this waggon must be going to the fine town of London; so he took courage, and asked the waggoner to let him walk with him by the side of the waggon.
마부는 불쌍한 딕에게 부모님이 없다는 말을 듣고, 누더기 옷을 보고는 더 나빠질 형편도 없겠다고 생각했다. 그래서 원한다면 따라와도 좋다고 말했고, 두 사람은 함께 길을 떠났다.
As soon as the waggoner heard that poor Dick had no father or mother, and saw by his ragged clothes that he could not be worse off than he was, he told him he might go if he would, so off they set together.
그리하여 딕은 무사히 런던에 도착했다. 딕은 금으로 온통 포장된 멋진 거리를 보고 싶은 마음에 너무 서두른 나머지, 친절한 마부에게 고맙다는 인사도 제대로 하지 못하고 헤어졌다. 딕은 금으로 포장된 거리가 금방이라도 나타나리라 생각하며 힘껏 많은 거리를 내달렸다. 작은 마을에서 세 번이나 기니 금화를 본 적이 있어서, 그것을 잔돈으로 바꾸면 얼마나 큰돈이 되는지 기억하고 있었기 때문이었다. 그래서 포장도로의 작은 조각만 주워도 원하는 만큼 돈을 가질 수 있을 것이라고 생각했다.
So Dick got safe to London, and was in such a hurry to see the fine streets paved all over with gold, that he did not even stay to thank the kind waggoner; but ran off as fast as his legs would carry him, through many of the streets, thinking every moment to come to those that were paved with gold; for Dick had seen a guinea three times in his own little village, and remembered what a deal of money it brought in change; so he thought he had nothing to do but to take up some little bits of the pavement, and should then have as much money as he could wish for.
불쌍한 딕은 지칠 때까지 달렸고, 친구인 마부도 까맣게 잊어버렸다. 하지만 날이 어두워지고 어디를 둘러보아도 금 대신 진흙뿐이라는 것을 알게 되었다. 결국 딕은 어두운 구석에 주저앉아 울다가 잠이 들었다.
Poor Dick ran till he was tired, and had quite forgot his friend the waggoner; but at last, finding it grow dark, and that every way he turned he saw nothing but dirt instead of gold, he, sat down in a dark corner and cried himself to sleep.
어린 딕은 밤새 거리에서 지냈다. 다음 날 아침, 몹시 배가 고파진 딕은 일어나 돌아다니며 굶어 죽지 않게 반 페니만 달라고 만나는 사람마다 빌었다. 그러나 아무도 걸음을 멈추고 대답해 주지 않았고, 겨우 두세 명만 반 페니를 주었다. 결국 불쌍한 소년은 먹을 것이 없어서 곧 기운이 다 빠지고 말았다.
Little Dick was all night in the streets; and next morning, being very hungry, he got up and walked about, and asked everybody he met to give him a halfpenny to keep him from starving; but nobody stayed to answer him, and only two or three gave him a halfpenny; so that the poor boy was soon quite weak and faint for the want of victuals.
이처럼 곤경에 처한 딕은 여러 사람에게 자비를 구걸했는데, 한 사람이 퉁명스럽게 말했다. “게으른 녀석 같으니, 가서 일이나 해라.” 그러자 딕이 말했다. “그럴게요. 시켜만 주신다면 아저씨를 위해 일하겠어요.” 하지만 그 사람은 욕을 내뱉고는 그냥 지나쳐 갔다.
In this distress he asked charity of several people, and one of them said crossly: “Go to work, for an idle rogue.” “That I will,” says Dick, “I will to go work for you, if you will let me.” But the man only cursed at him and went on.
마침내 마음씨 좋아 보이는 한 신사가 딕의 굶주린 모습을 보았다. 신사가 딕에게 말했다. “얘야, 왜 일하러 가지 않니?” 딕이 대답했다. “그러고 싶지만 일자리를 어떻게 구해야 할지 모르겠어요.”
At last a good-natured looking gentleman saw how hungry he looked. “Why don’t you go to work my lad?” said he to Dick. “That I would, but I do not know how to get any,” answered Dick.
“그럴 마음이 있다면 나를 따라오렴.” 신사가 말하더니 건초 밭으로 딕을 데려갔다. 딕은 그곳에서 힘차게 일했고, 건초를 다 만들 때까지 즐겁게 지냈다.
“If you are willing, come along with me,” said the gentleman, and took him to a hay-field, where Dick worked briskly, and lived merrily till the hay was made.
건초 일이 끝난 뒤 딕은 이전처럼 다시 형편이 어려워졌다. 또다시 굶어 죽을 지경이 되자, 부유한 상인인 피츠워런 선생의 집 문 앞에 쓰러져 누웠다.
After this he found himself as badly off as before; and being almost starved again, he laid himself down at the door of Mr. Fitzwarren, a rich merchant.
그곳에서 딕은 곧 요리사 하녀의 눈에 띄었다. 성미가 고약한 요리사는 마침 주인 부부의 저녁 식사를 준비하느라 몹시 바빴다. 그래서 불쌍한 딕에게 소리를 질렀다. “게으른 녀석이 여기서 뭘 하는 거야?
Here he was soon seen by the cook-maid, who was an ill-tempered creature, and happened just then to be very busy dressing dinner for her master and mistress; so she called out to poor Dick: “What business have you there, you lazy rogue?
