On Liberty — Page 5

English → Korean Preface Level 9/10

He died in 1873, his last years being spent peacefully in the pleasant society of his step-daughter, from whose tender care and earnest intellectual sympathy he caught maybe a far-off reflection of the light which had irradiated his spiritual life.

그는 1873년에 세상을 떠났으며, 말년을 의붓딸의 유쾌한 곁에서 평화롭게 보냈다. 그녀의 다정한 보살핌과 진지한 지적 공감 속에서 그는 어쩌면 자신의 영적 삶을 빛으로 물들였던 그 빛의 희미한 반영을 느꼈을지도 모른다.

The circumstances under which John Stuart Mill wrote his _Liberty_ are largely connected with the influence which Mrs. Taylor wielded over his career.

존 스튜어트 밀이 『자유론』을 집필하게 된 경위는 테일러 부인이 그의 생애에 미친 영향과 깊이 연결되어 있다.

The dedication is well known.

헌정사는 널리 알려져 있다.

It contains the most extraordinary panegyric on a woman that any philosopher has ever penned.

그것은 어떤 철학자가 쓴 것 중에서도 가장 비범한 여성 찬사를 담고 있다.

"Were I but capable of interpreting to the world one-half the great thoughts and noble feelings which are buried in her grave, I should be the medium of a greater benefit to it than is ever likely to arise from anything that I can write, unprompted and unassisted by her all but unrivalled wisdom."

"내가 그녀의 무덤에 묻혀 있는 위대한 사상과 고귀한 감정의 절반만이라도 세상에 전달할 수 있다면, 나는 그녀의 거의 타의 추종을 불허하는 지혜의 자극과 도움 없이 내가 쓸 수 있는 그 어떤 것보다도 더 큰 혜택을 세상에 전하는 매개자가 될 것이다."

It is easy for the ordinary worldly cynicism to curl a sceptical lip over sentences like these.

이와 같은 문장들에 대해 평범한 세속적 냉소주의가 의심스러운 입꼬리를 비틀기란 쉬운 일이다.

There may be exaggeration of sentiment, the necessary and inevitable reaction of a man who was trained according to the "dry light" of so unimpressionable a man as James Mill, the father; but the passage quoted is not the only one in which John Stuart Mill proclaims his unhesitating belief in the intellectual influence of his wife.

아버지 제임스 밀과 같이 감수성이 없는 인물의 "메마른 이성"에 따라 교육받은 사람의 필연적이고 불가피한 반동으로서 감정의 과장이 있을 수 있다. 그러나 인용된 구절이 존 스튜어트 밀이 아내의 지적 영향력에 대한 주저 없는 믿음을 선언하는 유일한 대목은 아니다.

The treatise on _Liberty_ was written especially under her authority and encouragement, but there are many earlier references to the power which she exercised over his mind.

『자유론』은 특히 그녀의 권위와 격려 아래 집필되었지만, 그녀가 그의 정신에 미친 영향력에 대한 더 이른 언급들도 많이 존재한다.
