Pride and Prejudice — Page 2

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

To some the delightful freshness and humour of_ Northanger Abbey, _its completeness, finish, and_ entrain, _obscure the undoubted critical facts that its scale is small, and its scheme, after all, that of burlesque or parody, a kind in which the first rank is reached with difficulty.

어떤 이들에게는 『노생거 사원』의 유쾌한 신선함과 유머, 그 완결성과 완성도, 그리고 활기가, 그 규모가 작다는 점과 결국 그 구성이 버레스크 혹은 패러디의 형식—첫 번째 반열에 오르기 어려운 종류—이라는 명백한 비평적 사실을 흐리게 한다.

Persuasion, _relatively faint in tone, and not enthralling in interest, has devotees who exalt above all the others its exquisite delicacy and keeping.

『설득』은 비교적 색채가 희미하고 흥미를 사로잡지 못하지만, 다른 모든 작품보다 그 작품의 절묘한 섬세함과 일관성을 최고로 꼽는 열렬한 팬들이 있다.

The catastrophe of_ Mansfield Park _is admittedly theatrical, the hero and heroine are insipid, and the author has almost wickedly destroyed all romantic interest by expressly admitting that Edmund only took Fanny because Mary shocked him, and that Fanny might very likely have taken Crawford if he had been a little more assiduous;

『맨스필드 파크』의 파국은 분명 연극적이고, 남녀 주인공은 무미건조하며, 작가는 에드먼드가 메리에게 충격을 받았기 때문에 비로소 패니를 선택했고, 패니 역시 크로퍼드가 조금 더 열성적이었다면 그를 받아들였을 가능성이 높다고 노골적으로 인정함으로써 모든 낭만적 흥미를 거의 악의적으로 파괴해 버렸다.

yet the matchless rehearsal-scenes and the characters of Mrs. Norris and others have secured, I believe, a considerable party for it.

그럼에도 불구하고 비할 데 없는 연습 장면들과 노리스 부인을 비롯한 인물들의 성격 묘사가 이 작품에 상당한 지지자들을 확보해 주었다고 나는 믿는다.

Sense and Sensibility _has perhaps the fewest out-and-out admirers; but it does not want them.

『이성과 감성』은 아마도 순수한 열렬한 팬이 가장 적을지 모르지만, 그렇다고 전혀 없는 것은 아니다.

I suppose, however, that the majority of at least competent votes would, all things considered, be divided between_ Emma _and the present book;

그러나 나는 적어도 식견 있는 독자들의 표 대다수가 모든 것을 고려했을 때 『에마』와 이 책 사이에 나뉠 것이라고 생각한다.

and perhaps the vulgar verdict (if indeed a fondness for Miss Austen be not of itself a patent of exemption from any possible charge of vulgarity) would go for_ Emma.

그리고 아마도 통속적인 평결은—오스틴 양을 좋아하는 것 자체가 어떠한 통속성의 혐의로부터도 면제되는 특허증이 아니라면—『에마』의 손을 들어줄 것이다.
