Preface By The Editor.
편집자 서문.
The great work of Gibbon is indispensable to the student of history.
기번의 위대한 저작은 역사를 공부하는 학생에게 없어서는 안 될 작품이다.
The literature of Europe offers no substitute for "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire."
유럽의 문헌 중 어느 것도 『로마 제국 쇠망사』를 대체할 수 없다.
It has obtained undisputed possession, as rightful occupant, of the vast period which it comprehends.
이 작품은 그것이 다루는 광대한 시대를 정당한 점유자로서 논란 없이 차지하고 있다.
However some subjects, which it embraces, may have undergone more complete investigation, on the general view of the whole period, this history is the sole undisputed authority to which all defer, and from which few appeal to the original writers, or to more modern compilers.
이 책이 다루는 일부 주제들이 더 완전한 조사를 거쳤을 수 있으나, 전체 시대에 대한 전반적인 관점에서 이 역사서는 모든 이가 따르는 유일한 권위서이며, 원전 작가들이나 더 현대적인 편찬자들에게 이의를 제기하는 경우는 거의 없다.
The inherent interest of the subject, the inexhaustible labor employed upon it; the immense condensation of matter; the luminous arrangement; the general accuracy; the style, which, however monotonous from its uniform stateliness, and sometimes wearisome from its elaborate ar., is throughout vigorous, animated, often picturesque, always commands attention, always conveys its meaning with emphatic energy, describes with singular breadth and fidelity, and generalizes with unrivalled felicity of expression; all these high qualifications have secured, and seem likely to secure, its permanent place in historic literature.
주제 자체가 지닌 본질적인 흥미로움, 그것에 쏟아부은 무궁무진한 노력, 방대한 내용의 압축, 명료한 구성, 전반적인 정확성, 그리고 한결같은 장중함으로 인해 때로 단조롭고 정교한 문체로 인해 때로 지루하기도 하지만 전반적으로 힘차고 생동감 넘치며 종종 회화적이고 항상 주의를 끌며 강조된 힘으로 의미를 전달하고 탁월한 폭과 충실함으로 묘사하며 비할 데 없는 표현의 적절함으로 일반화하는 문체, 이 모든 뛰어난 자질들이 역사 문학에서 이 작품의 영구적인 위치를 확보해 왔으며 앞으로도 그럴 것으로 보인다.
