After Dorothy's house falls on and accidentally kills the Wicked Witch of the East in Munchkin Land, Dorothy is welcomed to her new land by the Munchkins because she freed them from the bondage of the witch.
The Good Witch of the South, Glinda, then explains to Dorothy that in order to get back home, she needs to follow the Yellow Brick Road to reach the Emerald City.
There, she needs to ask the Wizard of Oz how to get back home to Kansas.
그곳에서그녀는오즈의마법사에게캔자스로돌아갈수있는방법을물어야한다.
On her way down the Yellow Brick Road, Dorothy meets some new friends, who all have something to ask the great wizard.
노란벽돌길을따라가면서도로시는새로운친구들을만나는데, 그들모두위대한마법사에게물을것이있다.
However, when they finally get to the Emerald City and meet the Wizard of Oz, they discover he is just a liar and that everything they have been searching for can be found within themselves.
Having been frequently dramatized into movies and musicals, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the best known classics among children and adults alike.
First, take a close look at the title, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
첫번째로제목인'오즈의위대한마법사'를주의깊게보라.
Oz here is not just a simple name of a place, but the abbreviation for ounce, a measure for gold and silver.
여기서의오즈(Oz)는단순히장소의이름이아니라금과은의측정단위인온스(ounce)의축약형이다.
And this interpretation may lead us to think about the standard monetary system of the time.
그리고이해석은우리가당시의화폐본위제도에대해생각하게한다.
In the 1890s, midwestern and southern American farmers and small business owners insisted that the silver standard be used together with the traditional gold standard.
They believed that the silver standard could put more money in the market and help it circulate, which could help them pay off their debts more easily.
In the story, Dorothy acquires a pair of silver slippers after she accidentally kills the Wicked Witch of the East.
이야기에서Dorothy는그녀가우연히사악한동쪽마녀를죽인뒤은슬리퍼한켤레를얻는다.
Some people interpret the silver slippers as a symbol of the silver standard, implying that Baum might have been suggesting that the silver and gold standards together could make a better future with more money.
Also, the silver slippers have magical power that can take Dorothy back home, of which she is unaware.
또한은슬리퍼는Dorothy를집으로돌려보내줄수있는, 그리고그녀가눈치채지못한힘이있다.
Only after meeting Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, in the last scene of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, does Dorothy realize the power of the slippers and find her way back home.
Some suggest that the slippers represent Dorothy's own potential power.
어떤사람들은그슬리퍼가Dorothy 자신의잠재력을나타낸다고말한다.
She has them, but she just doesn't know how to use them.
그녀는그것을가지고있지만그것을어떻게사용하는지모를뿐이다.
Only after all of her adventures can she tap into the power of the slippers and use them to get what she wants.
모든모험후에야그녀는그슬리퍼의힘을활용할수있고그녀가원하는것을얻기위해그것을사용할수있다.
Dorothy takes the Yellow Brick Road to reach the Emerald City and meet the Wizard of Oz.
Dorothy는노란벽돌길을따라가서에메랄드시티에도착하고, 오즈의마법사를만난다.
Here is another symbol.
여기에또다른상징이있다.
A road is usually understood as the journey of life that everyone has to take.
길은보통모두가가야만하는삶의여행으로이해된다.
The journey may be filled with thrills and dangers, but we can also learn many precious lessons from the journey of our life.
여행은오싹함과위험으로가득차있을수도있지만우리는우리삶의여행으로부터많은소중한교훈을배운다.
The Yellow Brick Road may also represent Dorothy's journey.
노란벽돌길은Dorothy의여행을상징할수있다.
On the way to the Emerald City, she finds that the adventures outside her sheltered life are exciting but dangerous.
에메랄드시티로가는길에그녀는그녀의보호받고있는삶밖의모험은흥미롭지만위험하다는것을알게된다.
She also learns about the real meaning of growing up and the comforts of home.
그녀는또한성장과가정의안락함의진정한의미를배운다.
A road usually promises something wonderful at its end, and Dorothy's journey implies that we need to summon our own courage while we take our own journey and realize the important meaning in our life.
When Dorothy and her friends reach the Emerald City, the Wizard of Oz sends them to kill the Wicked Witch of the West in exchange for their wishes to be granted.
The Wicked Witch of the West immediately attacks them with her beasts, birds, black bees, and slaves, and she tries to steal the magical silver slippers off Dorothy's feet.
They seem to take great joy by making our lives miserable.
그것들은우리의삶을비참하게만드는것에서큰기쁨을얻는것처럼보인다.
Although they may be extremely threatening, the scary things in our life are only as scary as we let them be.
그것들이매우위협적일지라도우리삶의무서운것들은우리가그것들에게허락한만큼만두려운것이다.
We don't have to be scared; we just need to be brave.
우리는두려워할필요가없고단지용기를내는것이필요할뿐이다.
Over time, there have been many interpretations of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
시간이흘러'오즈의위대한마법사'는많은해석이있게되었다.
However, L. Frank Baum never revealed his true intentions with respect to his work to anyone, meaning that there will always be varying interpretations.
하지만L. Frank Baum은누구에게도자신의작품과관련된진짜의도를내보인적이없었고, 이는언제나다양한해석이존재할수있음을의미한다.
So you can interpret the story any way you want as long as you can support your ideas.
그러니여러분도여러분의아이디어를뒷받침할수있는한이이야기를어떻게든해석할수있다.
It could be just a story for children, a political commentary, or a call for self-help and self-reliance.
