Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 9

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

The master is a person of an excellent disposition and is remarkable in the ship for his gentleness and the mildness of his discipline.

선장은 훌륭한 성품을 지닌 사람으로, 배 안에서 그의 온화함과 부드러운 규율로 두드러진 존재입니다.

This circumstance, added to his well-known integrity and dauntless courage, made me very desirous to engage him.

이러한 사정에 그의 잘 알려진 성실함과 두려움 없는 용기까지 더해져, 나는 그를 고용하고 싶은 마음이 간절해졌습니다.

A youth passed in solitude, my best years spent under your gentle and feminine fosterage, has so refined the groundwork of my character that I cannot overcome an intense distaste to the usual brutality exercised on board ship:

고독 속에서 보낸 젊은 시절, 당신의 부드럽고 여성적인 보살핌 아래에서 보낸 나의 가장 좋은 세월은 내 성격의 근본을 너무나 순화시켜, 배 안에서 흔히 행해지는 잔혹함에 대한 강렬한 혐오감을 나는 극복할 수가 없습니다.

I have never believed it to be necessary, and when I heard of a mariner equally noted for his kindliness of heart and the respect and obedience paid to him by his crew, I felt myself peculiarly fortunate in being able to secure his services.

나는 그것이 필요하다고 결코 믿지 않았으며, 마음씨의 친절함과 선원들이 그에게 바치는 존경과 복종으로 똑같이 알려진 한 선원에 대해 들었을 때, 나는 그의 도움을 확보할 수 있게 된 것을 특별히 다행스럽게 여겼습니다.

I heard of him first in rather a romantic manner, from a lady who owes to him the happiness of her life.

나는 그에 대해 처음으로 꽤 낭만적인 방식으로, 자신의 삶의 행복을 그에게 빚지고 있는 한 여인으로부터 들었습니다.

This, briefly, is his story.

이것이, 간략히 말하자면, 그의 이야기입니다.

Some years ago he loved a young Russian lady of moderate fortune, and having amassed a considerable sum in prize-money, the father of the girl consented to the match.

몇 년 전 그는 중간 정도의 재산을 가진 젊은 러시아 여인을 사랑했고, 포상금으로 상당한 액수를 모은 후 그 여인의 아버지가 결혼을 승낙했습니다.

He saw his mistress once before the destined ceremony; but she was bathed in tears, and throwing herself at his feet, entreated him to spare her, confessing at the same time that she loved another, but that he was poor, and that her father would never consent to the union.

그는 예정된 결혼식 전에 한 번 그녀를 만났지만, 그녀는 눈물에 젖어 그의 발 앞에 몸을 던지며 자신을 놓아달라고 간청했고, 동시에 다른 사람을 사랑하지만 그는 가난하며 아버지가 결코 그 결합을 승낙하지 않을 것이라고 고백했습니다.

My generous friend reassured the suppliant, and on being informed of the name of her lover, instantly abandoned his pursuit.

나의 관대한 친구는 그 탄원자를 안심시키고, 그녀의 연인의 이름을 알게 되자마자 즉시 자신의 구애를 포기했습니다.
