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 2
लेकिन मेरा इरादा केवल घोषित भिखारियों के बच्चों के लिए प्रावधान करने तक सीमित नहीं है: यह कहीं अधिक व्यापक है, और उन सभी शिशुओं को शामिल करेगा जो एक निश्चित आयु में उन माता-पिता के यहाँ जन्मे हैं, जो वास्तव में उनका पालन-पोषण करने में उतने ही असमर्थ हैं, जितने वे लोग जो सड़कों पर हमसे भीख माँगते हैं।
But my intention is very far from being confined to provide only for the children of professed beggars: it is of a much greater extent, and shall take in the whole number of infants at a certain age, who are born of parents in effect as little able to support them, as those who demand our charity in the streets.
जहाँ तक मेरी अपनी बात है, मैंने कई वर्षों तक इस महत्वपूर्ण विषय पर विचार किया है, और हमारे योजनाकारों की विभिन्न योजनाओं को ध्यानपूर्वक परखा है, और मैंने हमेशा पाया है कि वे अपनी गणना में बुरी तरह गलत हैं।
As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years upon this important subject, and maturely weighed the several schemes of our projectors, I have always found them grossly mistaken in their computation.
यह सच है कि अपनी माँ से अभी-अभी जन्मा एक बच्चा एक सौर वर्ष तक उसके दूध पर थोड़े अन्य पोषण के साथ जीवित रह सकता है: अधिक से अधिक दो शिलिंग के मूल्य से अधिक नहीं, जो माँ निश्चित रूप से कमा सकती है, या भीख माँगने के अपने वैध पेशे से टुकड़ों में उतना मूल्य प्राप्त कर सकती है।
It is true, a child just dropt from its dam, may be supported by her milk, for a solar year, with little other nourishment: at most not above the value of two shillings, which the mother may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging.
और ठीक एक वर्ष की आयु में मैं उनके लिए ऐसा प्रबंध करने का प्रस्ताव करता हूँ कि, अपने माता-पिता पर या पल्ली पर बोझ बनने के बजाय, या शेष जीवन भर भोजन और वस्त्र की कमी झेलने के बजाय, वे इसके विपरीत, हजारों लोगों के भोजन और आंशिक रूप से वस्त्र में योगदान करेंगे।
and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner, as, instead of being a charge upon their parents, or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall, on the contrary, contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing of many thousands.
मेरी योजना में एक और बड़ा लाभ यह भी है कि यह उन स्वैच्छिक गर्भपातों को और महिलाओं द्वारा अपने नाजायज बच्चों की हत्या की उस भयानक प्रथा को रोकेगी, अफसोस!
There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas!
