Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World — Page 6
If the censure of the _Yahoos_ could any way affect me, I should have great reason to complain, that some of them are so bold as to think my book of travels a mere fiction out of mine own brain, and have gone so far as to drop hints, that the _Houyhnhnms_ and _Yahoos_ have no more existence than the inhabitants of Utopia.
만약 _야후_들의 비난이 어떤 식으로든 나에게 영향을 미칠 수 있다면, 나는 그들 중 일부가 내 여행기를 순전히 내 머릿속에서 나온 허구라고 감히 생각하고, 심지어 _후이늠_과 _야후_가 유토피아의 주민들보다 더 실재하지 않는다고 넌지시 암시하는 데까지 나아갔다는 것에 대해 크게 불평할 이유가 있을 것이다.
Indeed I must confess, that as to the people of _Lilliput_, _Brobdingrag_ (for so the word should have been spelt, and not erroneously _Brobdingnag_), and _Laputa_, I have never yet heard of any _Yahoo_ so presumptuous as to dispute their being, or the facts I have related concerning them; because the truth immediately strikes every reader with conviction.
사실 나는 고백해야 하는데, _릴리풋_, _브롭딩래그_(이 단어는 그렇게 철자되었어야 했으며, 잘못된 표기인 _브롭딩낵_이 아니다), 그리고 _라퓨타_의 사람들에 관해서는, 나는 그들의 존재나 내가 그들에 관해 기술한 사실들을 감히 부정하려 드는 _야후_를 아직까지 들어본 적이 없다. 왜냐하면 진실은 모든 독자에게 즉각적으로 확신을 주며 와 닿기 때문이다.
And is there less probability in my account of the _Houyhnhnms_ or _Yahoos_, when it is manifest as to the latter, there are so many thousands even in this country, who only differ from their brother brutes in _Houyhnhnmland_, because they use a sort of jabber, and do not go naked?
그리고 _후이늠_이나 _야후_에 관한 나의 기술이 개연성이 더 낮다고 할 수 있겠는가? 후자에 관해서는, 이 나라에만도 수천 명이나 되는 자들이 있으며, 그들은 _후이늠의 나라_에 있는 동족 짐승들과 다만 일종의 알아들을 수 없는 말을 사용하고 발가벗고 다니지 않는다는 점에서만 다를 뿐이라는 것이 명백하지 않은가?
I wrote for their amendment, and not their approbation.
나는 그들의 교화를 위해 글을 썼지, 그들의 찬사를 위해 쓴 것이 아니다.
The united praise of the whole race would be of less consequence to me, than the neighing of those two degenerate _Houyhnhnms_ I keep in my stable; because from these, degenerate as they are, I still improve in some virtues without any mixture of vice.
온 인류의 합쳐진 찬사도 내 마구간에서 기르는 저 두 마리의 타락한 _후이늠_의 울음소리보다 내게 덜 중요하다. 왜냐하면 타락하기는 했지만 이 말들로부터 나는 여전히 악덕의 혼합 없이 몇 가지 덕목에서 진보하기 때문이다.
Do these miserable animals presume to think, that I am so degenerated as to defend my veracity?
이 비참한 동물들은 내가 내 진실성을 변호해야 할 만큼 타락했다고 감히 생각하는 것인가?
