Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 3

English → Korean BY THE AUTHOR PREFACE Level 7/10

Ahab did not like Micaiah, because he never prophesied good concerning him, but evil; probably he liked the sycophant son of Chenaanah better; yet might Ahab have escaped a bloody death, had he but stopped his ears to flattery, and opened them to faithful counsel.

아합은 미가야를 좋아하지 않았으니, 그가 자신에 대해 좋은 것을 예언한 적이 없고 오직 나쁜 것만 예언하였기 때문이었다; 아마도 그는 아첨꾼인 그나아나의 아들을 더 좋아하였을 것이다; 그러나 아합이 아첨에 귀를 막고 충실한 조언에 귀를 열었더라면 피비린내 나는 죽음을 피할 수 있었을 것이다.

There is a man in our own days whose words are not framed to tickle delicate ears: who, to my thinking, comes before the great ones of society, much as the son of Imlah came before the throned Kings of Judah and Israel; and who speaks truth as deep, with a power as prophet-like and as vital—a mien as dauntless and as daring.

우리 시대에 섬세한 귀를 간지럽히기 위해 말을 꾸미지 않는 한 사람이 있으니: 내 생각으로는, 그가 사회의 위인들 앞에 나타나는 모습이, 마치 이믈라의 아들이 유다와 이스라엘의 왕좌에 앉은 왕들 앞에 나타났던 것과 흡사하다; 그리고 그는 그만큼 깊은 진실을 말하며, 예언자와 같고 생명력 넘치는 힘으로—두려움 없고 대담한 태도로 말한다.

Is the satirist of "Vanity Fair" admired in high places?

『허영의 시장』의 풍자가는 높은 곳에서 존경받고 있는가?

I cannot tell; but I think if some of those amongst whom he hurls the Greek fire of his sarcasm, and over whom he flashes the levin-brand of his denunciation, were to take his warnings in time—they or their seed might yet escape a fatal Rimoth-Gilead.

나는 알 수 없다; 그러나 만약 그가 냉소의 그리스 불을 던지는 이들 중 일부가, 그리고 그가 비난의 번개 불꽃을 내리치는 이들이 그의 경고를 제때 받아들인다면—그들이나 그들의 후손은 치명적인 라못 길르앗을 아직 피할 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

Why have I alluded to this man?

내가 왜 이 사람을 언급하였는가?

I have alluded to him, Reader, because I think I see in him an intellect profounder and more unique than his contemporaries have yet recognised; because I regard him as the first social regenerator of the day—as the very master of that working corps who would restore to rectitude the warped system of things; because I think no commentator on his writings has yet found the comparison that suits him, the terms which rightly characterise his talent.

독자여, 내가 그를 언급한 것은, 나는 그에게서 동시대인들이 아직 인식하지 못한 더 깊고 더 독특한 지성을 보기 때문이며; 그를 이 시대 최초의 사회 개혁자로—뒤틀린 세상의 체계를 바로잡으려는 실천하는 무리의 진정한 지도자로 여기기 때문이며; 그의 글에 대한 어떤 논평자도 그에게 어울리는 비유, 그의 재능을 올바르게 특징짓는 말을 아직 찾아내지 못하였다고 생각하기 때문이다.
