Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem — Page 3

English → Korean Full Text Level 9/10

Once in a while, however, he has added a conjecture of his own to the emendations quoted from the criticisms of other students of the poem.

그러나 때때로 그는 이 시의 다른 연구자들의 비평에서 인용된 수정 사항들에 자신만의 추측을 덧붙이기도 하였다.

This work is addressed to two classes of readers.

이 작품은 두 부류의 독자를 대상으로 한다.

From both of these alike the translator begs sympathy and co-operation.

번역자는 이 두 부류 모두로부터 동등하게 공감과 협력을 구한다.

The Anglo-Saxon scholar he hopes to please by adhering faithfully to the original.

앵글로색슨 학자들에게는 원문에 충실히 따름으로써 만족을 드리고자 한다.

The student of English literature he aims to interest by giving him, in modern garb, the most ancient epic of our race.

영문학 학생들에게는 우리 민족의 가장 오래된 서사시를 현대적인 형태로 제공함으로써 흥미를 불러일으키고자 한다.

This is a bold and venturesome undertaking; and yet there must be some students of the Teutonic past willing to follow even a daring guide, if they may read in modern phrases of the sorrows of Hrothgar, of the prowess of Beowulf, and of the feelings that stirred the hearts of our forefathers in their primeval homes.

이것은 대담하고 모험적인 시도이다. 그러나 현대적인 표현으로 흐로스가르의 슬픔과 베오울프의 용맹, 그리고 태고의 고향에서 우리 선조들의 가슴을 뒤흔들었던 감정들을 읽을 수 있다면, 게르만 민족의 과거를 연구하는 학자들 중에는 과감한 안내자를 기꺼이 따르려는 이들도 있을 것이다.

In order to please the larger class of readers, a regular cadence has been used, a measure which, while retaining the essential characteristics of the original, permits the reader to see ahead of him in reading.

더 많은 독자들을 만족시키기 위해 규칙적인 운율을 사용하였는데, 이는 원문의 본질적인 특성을 유지하면서도 독자가 읽는 도중에 앞을 내다볼 수 있게 해주는 방식이다.

Perhaps every Anglo-Saxon scholar has his own theory as to how Beowulf should be translated.

아마도 모든 앵글로색슨 학자들은 베오울프를 어떻게 번역해야 하는지에 관한 자신만의 이론을 가지고 있을 것이다.

Some have given us prose versions of what we believe to be a great poem.

일부는 우리가 위대한 시라고 믿는 작품의 산문 번역본을 제공하기도 하였다.

Is it any reflection on our honored Kemble and Arnold to say that their translations fail to show a layman that Beowulf is justly called our first _epic_?

존경받는 켐블과 아널드의 번역이 베오울프가 우리의 첫 번째 서사시로 불리는 것이 마땅하다는 사실을 일반 독자에게 보여주지 못한다고 말하는 것이 그들에 대한 비난이 될 수 있을까?
