A LETTER FROM CAPTAIN GULLIVER TO HIS COUSIN SYMPSON.
걸리버 선장이 사촌 심프슨에게 보내는 편지.
Written in the Year 1727.
1727년에 쓰다.
I hope you will be ready to own publicly, whenever you shall be called to it, that by your great and frequent urgency you prevailed on me to publish a very loose and uncorrect account of my travels, with directions to hire some young gentleman of either university to put them in order, and correct the style, as my cousin Dampier did, by my advice, in his book called "A Voyage round the world."
나는 당신이 언제든 그것에 대해 요청을 받을 때마다, 당신의 크고 거듭된 독촉으로 인해 내가 매우 두서없고 교정되지 않은 여행기를 출판하도록 설득당했다는 사실을, 그리고 내 조언에 따라 사촌 댐피어가 《세계 일주 항해》라는 책에서 했던 것처럼 그것을 정리하고 문체를 다듬을 어느 대학의 젊은 신사를 고용하라는 지시와 함께 출판하게 되었다는 사실을 공개적으로 인정할 준비가 되어 있기를 바랍니다.
But I do not remember I gave you power to consent that any thing should be omitted, and much less that any thing should be inserted; therefore, as to the latter, I do here renounce every thing of that kind; particularly a paragraph about her majesty Queen Anne, of most pious and glorious memory; although I did reverence and esteem her more than any of human species.
그러나 나는 내가 당신에게 어떤 것을 생략하는 것에 동의할 권한을 주었다고 기억하지 못하며, 어떤 것을 삽입하는 것에는 더더욱 그러합니다. 따라서 후자에 관해서는, 나는 그러한 종류의 모든 것을 여기서 부인합니다. 특히 가장 경건하고 영광스러운 기억의 앤 여왕 폐하에 관한 단락을 부인하는 바입니다. 비록 나는 그녀를 인류의 어떤 존재보다도 더 경외하고 존경했지만 말입니다.
But you, or your interpolator, ought to have considered, that it was not my inclination, so was it not decent to praise any animal of our composition before my master Houyhnhnm: And besides, the fact was altogether false; for to my knowledge, being in England during some part of her majesty's reign, she did govern by a chief minister; nay even by two successively, the first whereof was the lord of Godolphin, and the second the lord of Oxford; so that you have made me say the thing that was not.
그러나 당신, 혹은 당신의 개찬자는, 나의 주인 후이넘 앞에서 우리와 같은 종류의 동물을 칭찬하는 것이 나의 뜻도 아니었을 뿐더러 적절하지도 않았다는 점을 고려했어야 합니다. 게다가 그 내용은 전적으로 거짓이었습니다. 내가 아는 한, 여왕 폐하의 치세 중 일부 동안 영국에 있었을 때, 그녀는 수석 대신을 통해 통치했으며, 심지어 두 명이 연이어 그 자리를 맡았는데, 첫 번째는 고돌핀 경이었고 두 번째는 옥스퍼드 경이었습니다. 따라서 당신은 나로 하여금 사실이 아닌 것을 말하게 만든 것입니다.
