History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire — Volume 1 — Page 9

English → Korean Full Text Level 9/10

It is in this sublime Gothic architecture of his work, in which the boundless range, the infinite variety, the, at first sight, incongruous gorgeousness of the separate parts, nevertheless are all subordinate to one main and predominant idea, that Gibbon is unrivalled.

바로 이 숭고한 고딕 건축 양식과도 같은 그의 작품 구조 속에서, 즉 무한한 범위와 끝없는 다양성, 그리고 얼핏 보기에는 서로 어울리지 않는 각 부분들의 화려함이 그럼에도 불구하고 하나의 주된 지배적 사상에 모두 종속되어 있는 이 구조 속에서, 기번은 타의 추종을 불허한다.

We cannot but admire the manner in which he masses his materials, and arranges his facts in successive groups, not according to chronological order, but to their moral or political connection; the distinctness with which he marks his periods of gradually increasing decay; and the skill with which, though advancing on separate parallels of history, he shows the common tendency of the slower or more rapid religious or civil innovations.

우리는 그가 자료들을 집약하고 사실들을 연속적인 집단으로 배열하는 방식, 즉 연대기적 순서가 아니라 도덕적 또는 정치적 연관성에 따라 배열하는 방식에 감탄하지 않을 수 없다. 또한 그가 점차 심화되는 쇠퇴의 시기를 뚜렷하게 표시하는 방식과, 역사의 각기 다른 평행선을 따라 나아가면서도 더디거나 더 빠른 종교적 또는 시민적 혁신들의 공통적인 경향을 보여주는 솜씨에도 감탄하지 않을 수 없다.

However these principles of composition may demand more than ordinary attention on the part of the reader, they can alone impress upon the memory the real course, and the relative importance of the events.

이러한 구성의 원칙들이 독자에게 보통 이상의 주의를 요구할 수도 있지만, 오직 이 원칙들만이 사건들의 실제 경과와 상대적 중요성을 기억 속에 각인시킬 수 있다.

Whoever would justly appreciate the superiority of Gibbon's lucid arrangement, should attempt to make his way through the regular but wearisome annals of Tillemont, or even the less ponderous volumes of Le Beau.

기번의 명료한 배열의 우수성을 제대로 평가하고자 하는 사람이라면, 틸몽의 규칙적이지만 지루한 연대기, 혹은 그보다 덜 방대한 르 보의 저작들을 끝까지 읽어 나가려고 시도해 보아야 할 것이다.
