Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World — Page 4
These, and a thousand other reformations, I firmly counted upon by your encouragement; as indeed they were plainly deducible from the precepts delivered in my book.
이것들과 그 밖의 수천 가지 개혁들을 저는 당신의 격려에 힘입어 굳게 기대하였습니다. 실로 그것들은 제 책에서 전달된 교훈들로부터 명백히 도출될 수 있는 것이었으니까요.
And it must be owned, that seven months were a sufficient time to correct every vice and folly to which _Yahoos_ are subject, if their natures had been capable of the least disposition to virtue or wisdom.
그리고 인정하지 않을 수 없는 것은, 만약 야후들의 본성이 덕이나 지혜에 대한 최소한의 성향이라도 지닐 수 있었다면, 일곱 달이라는 시간은 야후들이 빠지기 쉬운 모든 악덕과 어리석음을 교정하기에 충분한 시간이었다는 점입니다.
Yet, so far have you been from answering my expectation in any of your letters; that on the contrary you are loading our carrier every week with libels, and keys, and reflections, and memoirs, and second parts; wherein I see myself accused of reflecting upon great state folk; of degrading human nature (for so they have still the confidence to style it), and of abusing the female sex.
그러나 당신은 어떤 편지에서도 제 기대에 부응하기는커녕, 오히려 매주 우리 배달부에게 비방문과 해설서와 비평과 회고록과 속편들을 잔뜩 실어 보내고 있습니다. 그 안에서 저는 고위 정치인들을 비꼬았다는 것, 인간의 본성을 격하시켰다는 것(그들은 여전히 뻔뻔스럽게도 그것을 그렇게 부르고 있습니다), 그리고 여성을 모욕했다는 것으로 고발당하고 있음을 봅니다.
I find likewise that the writers of those bundles are not agreed among themselves; for some of them will not allow me to be the author of my own travels; and others make me author of books to which I am wholly a stranger.
또한 저는 그 묶음들을 쓴 작가들이 서로 의견이 일치하지 않는다는 것도 알게 되었습니다. 그들 중 일부는 제가 제 자신의 여행기의 저자라는 것을 인정하려 들지 않고, 또 다른 이들은 저를 제가 전혀 알지 못하는 책들의 저자로 만들어 버립니다.
