Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus — Page 10

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

He had already bought a farm with his money, on which he had designed to pass the remainder of his life; but he bestowed the whole on his rival, together with the remains of his prize-money to purchase stock, and then himself solicited the young woman's father to consent to her marriage with her lover.

그는 이미 자신의 돈으로 농장을 하나 구입해 두었는데, 그곳에서 여생을 보낼 계획이었습니다. 그러나 그는 그 농장 전체를 경쟁자에게 주었고, 가축을 구입하라고 남은 상금까지 함께 건네준 뒤, 직접 그 젊은 여성의 아버지를 찾아가 그녀가 연인과 결혼할 수 있도록 허락해 달라고 청했습니다.

But the old man decidedly refused, thinking himself bound in honour to my friend, who, when he found the father inexorable, quitted his country, nor returned until he heard that his former mistress was married according to her inclinations.

그러나 노인은 단호히 거절했는데, 자신이 명예상 내 친구에게 의리를 지켜야 한다고 생각했기 때문입니다. 내 친구는 아버지가 완고하다는 것을 알게 되자 고국을 떠났고, 예전에 사랑했던 여인이 자신의 뜻대로 결혼했다는 소식을 들을 때까지 돌아오지 않았습니다.

"What a noble fellow!" you will exclaim.

"정말 고귀한 사람이군요!" 하고 당신은 탄성을 지를 것입니다.

He is so; but then he is wholly uneducated: he is as silent as a Turk, and a kind of ignorant carelessness attends him, which, while it renders his conduct the more astonishing, detracts from the interest and sympathy which otherwise he would command.

그는 실제로 그렇습니다. 그러나 그는 전혀 교육을 받지 못했습니다. 그는 터키인처럼 말이 없고, 일종의 무지한 무관심함이 그를 따라다니는데, 그것이 그의 행동을 더욱 놀랍게 만드는 한편, 그렇지 않았더라면 그가 불러일으켰을 관심과 공감을 반감시킵니다.

Yet do not suppose, because I complain a little or because I can conceive a consolation for my toils which I may never know, that I am wavering in my resolutions.

그렇다고 해서, 내가 조금 불평을 늘어놓는다거나 혹은 결코 알 수 없을지도 모를 내 고생에 대한 위안을 상상할 수 있다고 해서, 내가 내 결심을 흔들리고 있다고 생각하지는 마십시오.

Those are as fixed as fate, and my voyage is only now delayed until the weather shall permit my embarkation.

그 결심은 운명처럼 확고하며, 내 항해는 날씨가 출항을 허락할 때까지 잠시 미뤄져 있을 뿐입니다.

The winter has been dreadfully severe, but the spring promises well, and it is considered as a remarkably early season, so that perhaps I may sail sooner than I expected.

겨울은 몹시 혹독했지만, 봄은 좋은 징조를 보이고 있으며, 유난히 이른 계절로 여겨지고 있어서, 어쩌면 예상보다 일찍 출항할 수 있을지도 모릅니다.
