A Modest Proposal: For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick — Page 12

English → Korean Full Text Level 9/10

It would encrease the care and tenderness of mothers towards their children, when they were sure of a settlement for life to the poor babes, provided in some sort by the publick, to their annual profit instead of expence.

가난한 아이들의 생계가 어느 정도 공공에 의해 보장되어, 지출 대신 연간 수익이 된다는 것이 확실해진다면, 어머니들이 자녀들에 대해 보이는 보살핌과 애정이 더욱 커질 것입니다.

We should soon see an honest emulation among the married women, which of them could bring the fattest child to the market.

우리는 곧 기혼 여성들 사이에서 누가 가장 살찐 아이를 시장에 내놓을 수 있는지를 두고 벌이는 진지한 경쟁을 보게 될 것입니다.

Men would become as fond of their wives, during the time of their pregnancy, as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, or sows when they are ready to farrow; nor offer to beat or kick them (as is too frequent a practice) for fear of a miscarriage.

남자들은 아내가 임신한 기간 동안, 지금 새끼를 밴 암말이나 송아지를 밴 암소, 혹은 새끼를 낳으려는 암퇘지를 아끼듯이 아내를 소중히 여기게 될 것이며, 유산이 두려워 (너무도 흔한 관행인) 아내를 때리거나 발로 차는 일도 하지 않을 것입니다.

Many other advantages might be enumerated.

그 밖에도 많은 이점들을 열거할 수 있습니다.

For instance, the addition of some thousand carcasses in our exportation of barrel'd beef: the propagation of swine's flesh, and improvement in the art of making good bacon, so much wanted among us by the great destruction of pigs, too frequent at our tables; which are no way comparable in taste or magnificence to a well grown, fat yearling child, which roasted whole will make a considerable figure at a Lord Mayor's feast, or any other publick entertainment.

예를 들어, 통조림 쇠고기 수출에 수천 구의 사체를 추가하는 것, 돼지고기의 보급과 훌륭한 베이컨 제조 기술의 향상—우리 식탁에서 너무 자주 이루어지는 돼지의 대량 도살로 인해 우리 사이에서 매우 필요한—이 있습니다. 그러나 이것들은 잘 자란 살찐 한 살배기 아이와는 맛이나 훌륭함에 있어 비교할 수 없으며, 그 아이를 통째로 구우면 시장 수석 행정관의 연회나 그 밖의 공공 행사에서 상당히 인상적인 요리가 될 것입니다.

But this, and many others, I omit, being studious of brevity.

그러나 이것과 그 밖의 많은 것들은, 간결함을 추구하는 까닭에, 생략하겠습니다.
