Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 5
And now, dear Margaret, do I not deserve to accomplish some great purpose?
그런데 지금, 사랑하는 마거릿, 나는 어떤 위대한 목적을 이루어야 할 자격이 없는 것일까요?
My life might have been passed in ease and luxury, but I preferred glory to every enticement that wealth placed in my path.
내 삶은 안락함과 사치 속에서 보낼 수도 있었지만, 나는 부가 내 앞에 놓은 모든 유혹보다 영광을 택했습니다.
Oh, that some encouraging voice would answer in the affirmative!
아, 누군가의 격려하는 목소리가 긍정적인 대답을 해준다면 얼마나 좋을까요!
My courage and my resolution is firm; but my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits are often depressed.
나의 용기와 결의는 굳건합니다. 그러나 나의 희망은 흔들리고, 나의 기운은 자주 가라앉습니다.
I am about to proceed on a long and difficult voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing.
나는 길고 힘든 항해를 떠나려 하고 있으며, 그 여정의 위기들은 나의 모든 인내심을 요구할 것입니다. 나는 다른 이들의 기운을 북돋아 줄 뿐만 아니라, 그들의 기운이 꺾일 때에는 때로 나 자신의 기운도 유지해야 합니다.
This is the most favourable period for travelling in Russia.
지금은 러시아를 여행하기에 가장 좋은 시기입니다.
They fly quickly over the snow in their sledges; the motion is pleasant, and, in my opinion, far more agreeable than that of an English stagecoach.
그들은 썰매를 타고 눈 위를 빠르게 달립니다. 그 움직임은 유쾌하며, 내 생각에는 영국의 역마차보다 훨씬 더 쾌적합니다.
The cold is not excessive, if you are wrapped in furs—a dress which I have already adopted, for there is a great difference between walking the deck and remaining seated motionless for hours, when no exercise prevents the blood from actually freezing in your veins.
모피로 몸을 감싸고 있다면 추위는 그리 심하지 않습니다. 나는 이미 그런 복장을 갖추었는데, 이는 갑판을 걸어 다니는 것과 몇 시간씩 꼼짝 않고 앉아 있는 것 사이에는 큰 차이가 있기 때문입니다. 운동을 하지 않으면 혈액이 혈관 속에서 실제로 얼어붙을 수 있습니다.
I have no ambition to lose my life on the post-road between St. Petersburgh and Archangel.
나는 상트페테르부르크와 아르한겔스크 사이의 역도에서 목숨을 잃을 야망은 없습니다.
