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 14

English → Korean Full Text Level 9/10

Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: Of using neither clothes, nor houshold furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury: Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance: Of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from Laplanders, and the inhabitants of Topinamboo: Of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the Jews, who were murdering one another at the very moment their city was taken: Of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: Of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants.

그러므로 아무도 나에게 다른 방책들을 말하지 마시오: 우리의 부재자들에게 파운드당 5실링의 세금을 부과하는 것: 우리 자신의 생산과 제조로 만들어진 것 외에는 옷도 가정용 가구도 사용하지 않는 것: 외국의 사치를 조장하는 재료와 도구들을 완전히 거부하는 것: 우리 여성들의 허영심, 자만심, 나태함, 그리고 도박의 낭비벽을 고치는 것: 검약, 신중함, 절제의 기풍을 도입하는 것: 우리 나라를 사랑하는 법을 배우는 것, 이 점에서 우리는 라플란드인들과 토피남부의 주민들과도 다르오: 우리의 적대감과 파벌을 버리고, 도시가 함락되는 바로 그 순간에도 서로를 살육하던 유대인들처럼 더 이상 행동하지 않는 것: 우리의 나라와 양심을 아무것도 아닌 것에 팔지 않도록 조금 주의하는 것: 지주들에게 그들의 소작인들에 대해 최소한 한 가지 정도의 자비심을 갖도록 가르치는 것.

Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shopkeepers, who, if a resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact upon us in the price, the measure, and the goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair proposal of just dealing, though often and earnestly invited to it.

마지막으로, 우리의 상인들에게 정직함, 근면함, 그리고 기술의 정신을 불어넣는 것인데, 그들은 만약 지금 우리 국산품만을 구매하겠다는 결의가 이루어진다면, 즉시 단합하여 가격, 분량, 그리고 품질에 있어서 우리를 속이고 착취할 것이며, 비록 자주 그리고 간곡히 권유받았음에도 불구하고 공정한 거래에 대한 단 하나의 공정한 제안도 하도록 이끌어낼 수 없었던 자들이오.

Therefore I repeat, let no man talk to me of these and the like expedients, till he hath at least some glympse of hope, that there will ever be some hearty and sincere attempt to put them into practice.

그러므로 나는 반복하노니, 이러한 방책들과 그와 유사한 것들에 대해 아무도 나에게 말하지 마시오, 적어도 그것들을 실행에 옮기려는 진심 어리고 성실한 시도가 있을 것이라는 희망의 빛이 조금이라도 보일 때까지는.
