Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World — Page 7
Now, this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving around the earth and in the heavens, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth recurring at long intervals of time:
이것은 신화의 형태를 띠고 있지만, 실제로는 지구 주위와 하늘에서 움직이는 천체들의 이탈과, 오랜 시간 간격으로 반복되는 지상의 대화재를 의미합니다.
when this happens, those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the sea-shore;
이런 일이 일어날 때, 산 위나 건조하고 높은 곳에 사는 사람들은 강가나 해안가에 사는 사람들보다 더 큰 피해를 입기 쉽습니다.
and from this calamity the Nile, who is our never-failing savior, saves and delivers us.
그리고 이 재앙으로부터 결코 우리를 저버리지 않는 구원자인 나일강이 우리를 구하고 건져냅니다.
When, on the other hand, the gods purge the earth with a deluge of water, among you herdsmen and shepherds on the mountains are the survivors, whereas those of you who live in cities are carried by the rivers into the sea;
반면에 신들이 홍수로 지상을 정화할 때는, 여러분 중에서 산에 사는 목동들과 양치기들이 살아남고, 도시에 사는 사람들은 강물에 휩쓸려 바다로 떠내려갑니다.
but in this country neither at that time nor at any other does the water come from above on the fields, having always a tendency to come up from below, for which reason the things preserved here are said to be the oldest.
그러나 이 나라에서는 그 어느 때에도 물이 위에서 밭으로 내려오지 않으며, 항상 아래에서 올라오는 경향이 있기 때문에, 여기서 보존된 것들이 가장 오래된 것이라고 합니다.
The fact is, that wherever the extremity of winter frost or of summer sun does not prevent, the human race is always increasing at times, and at other times diminishing in numbers.
사실, 겨울의 혹독한 서리나 여름의 강렬한 태양이 방해하지 않는 곳이라면 어디서든, 인류는 어떤 때는 늘 증가하고 또 어떤 때는 수가 줄어들기 마련입니다.
