Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave — Page 13

English → Korean Full Text Level 8/10

In the course of his Narrative, he relates two instances of murderous cruelty,—in one of which a planter deliberately shot a slave belonging to a neighboring plantation, who had unintentionally gotten within his lordly domain in quest of fish; and in the other, an overseer blew out the brains of a slave who had fled to a stream of water to escape a bloody scourging.

그의 '서술'에서 그는 살인적인 잔혹 행위의 두 가지 사례를 이야기하는데,—그 중 하나는 한 농장주가 물고기를 잡으러 자신의 영역 안에 우연히 들어온 이웃 농장 소속의 노예를 의도적으로 총으로 쏜 것이고; 다른 하나는 한 감독관이 피투성이의 태형을 피해 냇가로 도망친 노예의 뇌를 총으로 날려버린 것이다.

_Mr. Douglass_ states that in neither of these instances was any thing done by way of legal arrest or judicial investigation.

_더글라스 씨_는 이 두 사례 중 어느 경우에도 법적 체포나 사법적 조사가 이루어지지 않았다고 밝히고 있다.

The Baltimore American, of March 17, 1845, relates a similar case of atrocity, perpetrated with similar impunity—as follows:—"_Shooting a slave._—We learn, upon the authority of a letter from Charles county, Maryland, received by a gentleman of this city, that a young man, named Matthews, a nephew of General Matthews, and whose father, it is believed, holds an office at Washington, killed one of the slaves upon his father's farm by shooting him.

1845년 3월 17일자 《볼티모어 아메리칸》은 마찬가지로 처벌 없이 자행된 유사한 만행 사례를 다음과 같이 전하고 있다:—"_노예 총격._—본 도시의 한 신사가 메릴랜드 주 찰스 카운티로부터 받은 편지에 의거하여, 매튜스 장군의 조카이자 그 아버지가 워싱턴에서 관직을 맡고 있는 것으로 알려진 매튜스라는 이름의 한 젊은이가 아버지 농장의 노예 중 한 명을 총으로 쏘아 죽였다는 사실을 알게 되었다.

The letter states that young Matthews had been left in charge of the farm; that he gave an order to the servant, which was disobeyed, when he proceeded to the house, _obtained a gun, and, returning, shot the servant._

편지에 따르면 젊은 매튜스는 농장을 관리하도록 맡겨진 상태였는데; 그가 하인에게 명령을 내렸으나 그것이 거부되자 집으로 가서 _총을 구해 돌아와 하인을 쏘았다._

He immediately, the letter continues, fled to his father's residence, where he still remains unmolested.

편지는 계속하여, 그는 즉시 아버지의 거처로 도망쳤으며 지금도 아무런 제재 없이 그곳에 머물고 있다고 전한다.
