Meditations — Page 15
The petty annoyances of injustice or unkindness are looked on by each with the same magnanimity.
불의나 불친절로 인한 사소한 짜증은 각자 동일한 관용으로 바라본다.
'Why doth a little thing said or done against thee make thee sorry?
'너에게 불리하게 말하거나 행해진 사소한 일이 왜 너를 슬프게 하는가?
It is no new thing; it is not the first, nor shall it be the last, if thou live long.
그것은 새로운 일이 아니다. 그것은 처음도 아니며, 네가 오래 산다면 마지막도 아닐 것이다.
At best suffer patiently, if thou canst not suffer joyously.'
기쁘게 견딜 수 없다면, 기껏해야 참을성 있게 견뎌라.'
The Christian should sorrow more for other men's malice than for our own wrongs; but the Roman is inclined to wash his hands of the offender.
기독교인은 자신의 억울함보다 타인의 악의에 더 슬퍼해야 한다. 그러나 로마인은 가해자에게서 손을 씻으려는 경향이 있다.
'Study to be patient in suffering and bearing other men's defaults and all manner infirmities,' says the Christian; but the Roman would never have thought to add, 'If all men were perfect, what had we then to suffer of other men for God?'
'타인의 결점과 온갖 연약함을 감내하고 참는 데 힘쓰라'고 기독교인은 말한다. 그러나 로마인은 결코 이렇게 덧붙이지 않았을 것이다. '만약 모든 사람이 완전하다면, 우리가 하나님을 위해 타인으로부터 무엇을 감내해야 하겠는가?'
The virtue of suffering in itself is an idea which does not meet us in the Meditations.
고통 그 자체의 덕이라는 개념은 『명상록』에서는 찾아볼 수 없는 생각이다.
Both alike realise that man is one of a great community.
둘 다 마찬가지로 인간이 위대한 공동체의 일원임을 깨닫는다.
'No man is sufficient to himself,' says the Christian; 'we must bear together, help together, comfort together.'
'어떤 사람도 스스로 충족하지 못한다'고 기독교인은 말한다. '우리는 함께 견디고, 함께 돕고, 함께 위로해야 한다.'
But while he sees a chief importance in zeal, in exalted emotion that is, and avoidance of lukewarmness, the Roman thought mainly of the duty to be done as well as might be, and less of the feeling which should go with the doing of it.
그러나 기독교인이 열정, 즉 고양된 감정과 미지근함의 회피에 주된 중요성을 두는 반면, 로마인은 주로 가능한 한 잘 수행해야 할 의무를 생각하고, 그 수행에 수반되어야 할 감정에 대해서는 덜 생각했다.
To the saint as to the emperor, the world is a poor thing at best.
성인에게나 황제에게나, 세상은 기껏해야 보잘것없는 것이다.
