Beyond Good and Evil — Page 4

English → Korean Preface Level 9/10

Had the wicked Socrates really corrupted him?

사악한 소크라테스가 정말로 그를 타락시킨 것인가?

Was Socrates after all a corrupter of youths, and deserved his hemlock?

소크라테스는 결국 청년들을 타락시킨 자였으며, 독배를 받아 마땅했던 것인가?

But the struggle against Plato, or--to speak plainer, and for the "people"--the struggle against the ecclesiastical oppression of millenniums of Christianity (FOR CHRISTIANITY IS PLATONISM FOR THE "PEOPLE"), produced in Europe a magnificent tension of soul, such as had not existed anywhere previously;

그러나 플라톤에 맞선 투쟁, 혹은—더 명확하게, 그리고 "민중"을 위해 말하자면—수천 년에 걸친 기독교의 교회적 억압에 맞선 투쟁(왜냐하면 기독교는 "민중"을 위한 플라톤주의이기 때문이다)은 유럽에서 이전에 어디에서도 존재하지 않았던 장엄한 영혼의 긴장을 만들어냈다;

with such a tensely strained bow one can now aim at the furthest goals.

이처럼 팽팽하게 당겨진 활로 이제 가장 먼 목표를 겨냥할 수 있다.

As a matter of fact, the European feels this tension as a state of distress, and twice attempts have been made in grand style to unbend the bow: once by means of Jesuitism, and the second time by means of democratic enlightenment--which, with the aid of liberty of the press and newspaper-reading, might, in fact, bring it about that the spirit would not so easily find itself in "distress"!

사실, 유럽인은 이 긴장을 고통의 상태로 느끼며, 두 차례에 걸쳐 웅장한 방식으로 활시위를 풀려는 시도가 행해졌다: 한 번은 예수회주의를 통해서, 두 번째는 민주적 계몽을 통해서—이는 언론의 자유와 신문 읽기의 도움으로, 실제로 정신이 그리 쉽게 "고통" 속에 빠지지 않도록 만들었을지도 모른다!

(The Germans invented gunpowder--all credit to them! but they again made things square--they invented printing.)

(독일인들은 화약을 발명했다—그 공로는 모두 그들에게 있다! 그러나 그들은 다시 균형을 맞추었다—그들은 인쇄술을 발명했다.)

But we, who are neither Jesuits, nor democrats, nor even sufficiently Germans, we GOOD EUROPEANS, and free, VERY free spirits--we have it still, all the distress of spirit and all the tension of its bow!

그러나 우리, 예수회 신자도 아니고, 민주주의자도 아니며, 충분히 독일인이라고도 할 수 없는 우리, 훌륭한 유럽인들이자 자유로운, 매우 자유로운 정신들인 우리—우리는 여전히 그것을 지니고 있다, 정신의 모든 고통과 그 활의 모든 긴장을!

And perhaps also the arrow, the duty, and, who knows? THE GOAL TO AIM AT....

그리고 어쩌면 화살도, 의무도, 그리고 누가 알겠는가? 겨냥해야 할 목표도....
