Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 1
A preface to the first edition of "Jane Eyre" being unnecessary, I gave none: this second edition demands a few words both of acknowledgment and miscellaneous remark.
"제인 에어" 초판에는 서문이 불필요하여 쓰지 않았으나, 이번 제2판은 감사의 말과 몇 가지 잡다한 소견을 요구하고 있습니다.
My thanks are due in three quarters.
저의 감사는 세 방면에 돌려야 할 것입니다.
To the Public, for the indulgent ear it has inclined to a plain tale with few pretensions.
독자 대중에게는, 꾸밈없고 소박한 이야기에 너그러운 귀를 기울여 주신 것에 대해 감사드립니다.
To the Press, for the fair field its honest suffrage has opened to an obscure aspirant.
언론에게는, 그 공정한 지지로 무명의 작가 지망생에게 공평한 기회의 장을 열어 준 것에 대해 감사드립니다.
To my Publishers, for the aid their tact, their energy, their practical sense and frank liberality have afforded an unknown and unrecommended Author.
출판사에게는, 그 분들의 재치와 열의, 실무적 감각과 솔직한 관대함이 아무런 연고도 없는 무명 작가에게 베풀어 준 도움에 대해 감사드립니다.
The Press and the Public are but vague personifications for me, and I must thank them in vague terms; but my Publishers are definite: so are certain generous critics who have encouraged me as only large-hearted and high-minded men know how to encourage a struggling stranger; to them, _i.e._, to my Publishers and the select Reviewers, I say cordially, Gentlemen, I thank you from my heart.
언론과 독자 대중은 저에게 막연한 존재에 불과하여 막연한 말로 감사를 전할 수밖에 없습니다만, 출판사는 구체적인 존재입니다. 마찬가지로, 오직 마음이 넓고 뜻이 높은 사람만이 할 수 있는 방식으로 분투하는 이방인인 저를 격려해 주신 너그러운 비평가 여러분도 그러합니다. 그분들, 즉 저의 출판사와 선별된 서평가 여러분께 진심으로 말씀드립니다. 여러분, 진심으로 감사드립니다.
Having thus acknowledged what I owe those who have aided and approved me, I turn to another class; a small one, so far as I know, but not, therefore, to be overlooked.
이처럼 저를 도와주고 인정해 주신 분들께 마땅히 드려야 할 감사를 표하고 나서, 이제 다른 부류의 사람들로 눈을 돌립니다. 제가 아는 한 소수에 불과하지만, 그렇다고 해서 간과할 수 없는 부류입니다.
I mean the timorous or carping few who doubt the tendency of such books as "Jane Eyre:" in whose eyes whatever is unusual is wrong; whose ears detect in each protest against bigotry—that parent of crime—an insult to piety, that regent of God on earth.
저는 "제인 에어"와 같은 책의 경향을 의심하는 소심하거나 트집 잡기 좋아하는 소수를 말하는 것입니다. 그들의 눈에는 평범하지 않은 것은 무엇이든 그릇된 것이며, 그들의 귀에는 범죄의 어버이인 편협함에 대한 항거 하나하나가 지상에서 신의 대리자인 경건함에 대한 모욕으로 들립니다.
