Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World — Page 7

English → Korean RICHARD SYMPSON. Level 8/10

_Yahoo_ as I am, it is well known through all _Houyhnhnmland_, that, by the instructions and example of my illustrious master, I was able in the compass of two years (although I confess with the utmost difficulty) to remove that infernal habit of lying, shuffling, deceiving, and equivocating, so deeply rooted in the very souls of all my species; especially the Europeans.

제가 비록 _야후_에 불과하지만, _후이늠 나라_ 전체에 잘 알려진 바와 같이, 저는 저명하신 주인님의 가르침과 모범 덕분에 2년이라는 기간 동안 (비록 극도의 어려움이 있었음을 고백하지만) 거짓말하고, 얼버무리고, 속이고, 말을 흐리는 그 지독한 습성을 제거할 수 있었습니다. 이 습성은 저희 종족 모두의, 특히 유럽인들의 영혼 깊숙이 뿌리박혀 있던 것이었습니다.

I have other complaints to make upon this vexatious occasion; but I forbear troubling myself or you any further.

이 성가신 경우에 대해 제가 할 불평이 더 있습니다만, 저 자신이나 여러분을 더 이상 괴롭히는 일은 삼가겠습니다.

I must freely confess, that since my last return, some corruptions of my _Yahoo_ nature have revived in me by conversing with a few of your species, and particularly those of my own family, by an unavoidable necessity; else I should never have attempted so absurd a project as that of reforming the _Yahoo_ race in this kingdom; but I have now done with all such visionary schemes for ever.

솔직히 고백하건대, 마지막으로 돌아온 이후로, 불가피한 사정으로 인해 여러분 종족 중 몇몇, 특히 제 가족과 대화를 나누다 보니 제 _야후_적 본성의 타락한 면모가 제 안에서 다시 살아났습니다. 그렇지 않았더라면 저는 이 왕국에서 _야후_ 종족을 개혁한다는 그토록 터무니없는 계획을 시도하지 않았을 것입니다. 하지만 이제 저는 그러한 모든 공상적인 계획과 영원히 결별하였습니다.
