I call it all nothing," said the third; "not in reality any position.

"저는 그 모든 것을 아무것도 아닌 것으로 여깁니다," 세 번째 사람이 말했다. "실제로는 아무런 지위도 아닙니다."

There are many in a town far above a master builder in position.

도시에는 건축 장인보다 지위가 훨씬 높은 사람들이 많습니다.

You may be an upright man, but even as a master you will only be ranked among common men.

당신은 훌륭한 사람일 수 있지만, 장인으로서도 평범한 사람들 중 하나로 분류될 뿐입니다.

I know better what to do than that.

저는 그보다 더 나은 방법을 알고 있습니다.

I will be an architect, which will place me among those who possess riches and intellect, and who speculate in art.

저는 건축가가 될 것입니다. 그러면 부와 지성을 갖추고 예술에 투자하는 사람들 사이에 서게 될 것입니다.

I shall certainly have to rise by my own endeavors from a bricklayer's laborer, or as a carpenter's apprentice--a lad wearing a paper cap, although I now wear a silk hat.

저는 분명히 벽돌공의 일꾼이나 목수의 견습생으로부터, 지금은 비단 모자를 쓰고 있지만 종이 모자를 쓴 청년으로서 스스로의 노력으로 올라서야 할 것입니다.

I shall have to fetch beer and spirits for the journeymen, and they will call me 'thou,' which will be an insult.

저는 직인들을 위해 맥주와 술을 가져와야 할 것이고, 그들은 저를 '야'라고 부를 것인데, 그것은 모욕이 될 것입니다.

I shall endure it, however, for I shall look upon it all as a mere representation, a masquerade, a mummery, which to-morrow, that is, when I myself as a journeyman, shall have served my time, will vanish, and I shall go my way, and all that has passed will be nothing to me.

그러나 저는 그것을 견뎌낼 것입니다. 왜냐하면 저는 그 모든 것을 단순한 연기, 가장무도회, 허식으로 볼 것이기 때문입니다. 그것은 내일, 즉 제가 직인으로서 수련 기간을 마치면 사라질 것이고, 저는 제 길을 갈 것이며, 지나간 모든 것은 저에게 아무것도 아닌 것이 될 것입니다.

Then I shall enter the academy, and get instructed in drawing, and be called an architect.

그런 다음 저는 아카데미에 들어가 제도를 배우고 건축가라고 불리게 될 것입니다.

I may even attain to rank, and have something placed before or after my name, and I shall build as others have done before me.

저는 심지어 지위를 얻고 이름 앞이나 뒤에 무언가가 붙게 될 수도 있으며, 저보다 앞서 다른 사람들이 해온 것처럼 건물을 지을 것입니다.

By this there will be always 'something' to make me remembered, and is not that worth living for?"

그로 인해 저를 기억하게 할 '무언가'가 항상 있을 것인데, 그것이 살아갈 가치가 있는 것이 아닙니까?"
