Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World — Page 2
By the advice of several worthy persons, to whom, with the author's permission, I communicated these papers, I now venture to send them into the world, hoping they may be, at least for some time, a better entertainment to our young noblemen, than the common scribbles of politics and party.
몇몇 훌륭한 분들의 조언에 따라, 저자의 허락을 받아 이 원고를 전달했던 그분들의 권유로, 저는 이제 용기를 내어 이 글을 세상에 내보내고자 하며, 적어도 한동안은 이것이 정치와 당파에 관한 흔한 졸문들보다 우리 젊은 귀족들에게 더 나은 읽을거리가 되기를 바랍니다.
This volume would have been at least twice as large, if I had not made bold to strike out innumerable passages relating to the winds and tides, as well as to the variations and bearings in the several voyages, together with the minute descriptions of the management of the ship in storms, in the style of sailors; likewise the account of longitudes and latitudes; wherein I have reason to apprehend, that Mr. Gulliver may be a little dissatisfied.
바람과 조류에 관한 수많은 구절들, 여러 항해에서의 편차와 방위에 관한 내용들, 그리고 폭풍 속에서의 선박 조종에 대한 세세한 선원식 묘사들을 과감히 삭제하지 않았다면, 또한 경도와 위도에 관한 기록들도 마찬가지로 삭제하지 않았다면, 이 책의 분량은 적어도 지금의 두 배는 되었을 것입니다. 이 부분에 관해서는 걸리버 씨께서 다소 불만을 품으실 수도 있다고 생각합니다.
But I was resolved to fit the work as much as possible to the general capacity of readers.
그러나 저는 이 작품을 가능한 한 일반 독자들의 수준에 맞추기로 결심하였습니다.
However, if my own ignorance in sea affairs shall have led me to commit some mistakes, I alone am answerable for them.
그러나 만약 해양 관련 사항에 대한 저의 무지로 인해 몇 가지 오류가 생겼다면, 그에 대한 책임은 전적으로 저에게 있습니다.
And if any traveller hath a curiosity to see the whole work at large, as it came from the hands of the author, I will be ready to gratify him.
그리고 만약 어떤 독자가 저자의 손에서 나온 그대로의 전체 작품을 보고자 하는 호기심이 있다면, 저는 기꺼이 그 바람을 충족시켜 드릴 준비가 되어 있습니다.
As for any further particulars relating to the author, the reader will receive satisfaction from the first pages of the book.
저자에 관한 더 자세한 사항은 독자께서 이 책의 첫 페이지들에서 충분한 정보를 얻으실 수 있을 것입니다.
