On the Method of Zadig: Essay #1 from "Science and Hebrew Tradition" — Page 10
From freshly broken twigs, crushed leaves, disturbed pebbles, and imprints hardly discernible by the untrained eye, such graduates in the University of Nature will divine, not only the fact that a party has passed that way, but its strength, its composition, the course it took, and the number of hours or days which have elapsed since it passed.
갓 꺾인 나뭇가지, 짓밟힌 나뭇잎, 흐트러진 자갈, 그리고 훈련받지 않은 눈으로는 거의 식별하기 어려운 발자국들로부터, 자연 대학의 이러한 졸업생들은 한 무리가 그 길을 지나갔다는 사실뿐만 아니라, 그 규모, 구성, 이동한 경로, 그리고 지나간 지 얼마나 많은 시간 또는 날이 경과했는지까지 알아낼 것이다.
But they are able to do this because, like Zadig, they perceive endless minute differences where untrained eyes discern nothing; and because the unconscious logic of common sense compels them to account for these effects by the causes which they know to be competent to produce them.
그러나 그들이 이것을 할 수 있는 것은, 자디그처럼, 훈련받지 않은 눈에는 아무것도 보이지 않는 곳에서 무수히 많은 미세한 차이를 감지하기 때문이며, 또한 상식의 무의식적인 논리가 그들로 하여금 이러한 결과들을 그것들을 만들어낼 수 있다고 알고 있는 원인들로 설명하도록 강요하기 때문이다.
And such mere methodised savagery was to discover the hidden things of nature better than _a priori_ deductions from the nature of Ormuzd--perhaps to give a history of the past, in which Oannes would be altogether ignored!
그리고 이러한 단순히 체계화된 야만성이 오르무즈드의 본성으로부터의 선험적 추론보다 자연의 숨겨진 것들을 더 잘 발견해내고, 어쩌면 오안네스가 완전히 무시되는 과거의 역사를 제시할 수 있다는 것이었다!
Decidedly it were better to burn this man at once.
단연코 이 남자를 당장 불태워버리는 것이 나을 것이었다.
If instinct, or an unwonted use of reason, led Moabdar's magi to this conclusion two or three thousand years ago, all that can be said is that subsequent history has fully justified them.
만약 본능이나 이성의 낯선 사용이 이삼천 년 전에 모압다르의 마기들을 이러한 결론으로 이끌었다면, 말할 수 있는 것은 그 이후의 역사가 그들을 완전히 정당화했다는 것뿐이다.
For the rigorous application of Zadig's logic to the results of accurate and long-continued observation has founded all those sciences which have been termed historical or palaetiological, because they are retrospectively prophetic and strive towards the reconstruction in human imagination of events which have vanished and ceased to be.
왜냐하면 정확하고 오랫동안 지속된 관찰의 결과들에 자디그의 논리를 엄격하게 적용함으로써, 역사적 또는 고원인론적이라고 불려온 모든 학문들이 세워졌기 때문인데, 이는 그것들이 회고적으로 예언적이며 사라지고 더 이상 존재하지 않는 사건들을 인간의 상상 속에서 재구성하려 노력하기 때문이다.
