Beyond Good and Evil — Page 10
You desire to LIVE "according to Nature"? Oh, you noble Stoics, what fraud of words!
당신은 "자연에 따라" 살기를 원하는가? 오, 고귀한 스토아주의자들이여, 이 얼마나 기만적인 말인가!
Imagine to yourselves a being like Nature, boundlessly extravagant, boundlessly indifferent, without purpose or consideration, without pity or justice, at once fruitful and barren and uncertain:
자연과 같은 존재를 상상해보라, 한없이 사치스럽고, 한없이 무관심하며, 목적도 배려도 없고, 자비도 정의도 없으며, 동시에 풍요롭고 메마르고 불확실한:
imagine to yourselves INDIFFERENCE as a power--how COULD you live in accordance with such indifference?
무관심을 하나의 힘으로 상상해보라--당신은 그러한 무관심에 따라 어떻게 살 수 있겠는가?
To live--is not that just endeavouring to be otherwise than this Nature?
산다는 것--그것은 바로 이 자연과 다르게 되려고 노력하는 것이 아닌가?
Is not living valuing, preferring, being unjust, being limited, endeavouring to be different?
산다는 것은 가치를 매기고, 선호하고, 불공정하고, 제한되고, 다르게 되려고 노력하는 것이 아닌가?
And granted that your imperative, "living according to Nature," means actually the same as "living according to life"--how could you do DIFFERENTLY?
그리고 당신의 명령, "자연에 따라 사는 것"이 실제로 "삶에 따라 사는 것"과 같은 의미라고 인정한다 해도--당신은 어떻게 다르게 행동할 수 있겠는가?
Why should you make a principle out of what you yourselves are, and must be?
당신 자신이 무엇이며 무엇이어야 하는지를 원칙으로 삼으려 하는가?
In reality, however, it is quite otherwise with you: while you pretend to read with rapture the canon of your law in Nature, you want something quite the contrary, you extraordinary stage-players and self-deluders!
그러나 현실에서는 당신들의 경우가 전혀 다르다: 당신들은 자연 속에서 자신들의 법칙의 규범을 황홀하게 읽는 척하면서, 전혀 반대되는 것을 원하고 있다, 이 비범한 배우들이자 자기기만자들이여!
In your pride you wish to dictate your morals and ideals to Nature, to Nature herself, and to incorporate them therein;
당신들은 오만함 속에서 자신들의 도덕과 이상을 자연에게, 자연 그 자체에게 지시하고 그것들을 자연 속에 통합시키길 원한다;
you insist that it shall be Nature "according to the Stoa," and would like everything to be made after your own image, as a vast, eternal glorification and generalism of Stoicism!
당신들은 그것이 "스토아에 따른" 자연이어야 한다고 주장하며, 모든 것이 스토아주의의 광대하고 영원한 영광과 보편화로서 당신들 자신의 이미지대로 만들어지기를 원한다!
