Pride and Prejudice — Page 3

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

_It is the larger, the more varied, the more popular; the author had by the time of its composition seen rather more of the world, and had improved her general, though not her most peculiar and characteristic dialogue; such figures as Miss Bates, as the Eltons, cannot but unite the suffrages of everybody.

그것은 더 방대하고, 더 다양하며, 더 대중적이다. 작가는 그 작품을 쓸 무렵에 세상을 꽤 많이 경험했고, 그녀의 전반적인 대화를 발전시켰다. 다만 가장 독특하고 특징적인 대화는 예외이다. 미스 베이츠나 엘튼 부부 같은 인물들은 모든 이의 지지를 한데 모을 수밖에 없다.

On the other hand, I, for my part, declare for_ Pride and Prejudice _unhesitatingly.

반면에, 나는 개인적으로 『오만과 편견』을 주저 없이 지지한다고 선언한다.

It seems to me the most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works; and for this contention in such narrow space as is permitted to me, I propose here to show cause._

그것은 내게 작가의 작품들 중 가장 완벽하고, 가장 특징적이며, 가장 본질적인 작품으로 여겨진다. 그리고 나에게 허락된 좁은 지면 안에서 이 주장을 위해, 나는 여기서 그 이유를 제시하고자 한다.

_In the first place, the book (it may be barely necessary to remind the reader) was in its first shape written very early, somewhere about 1796, when Miss Austen was barely twenty-one; though it was revised and finished at Chawton some fifteen years later, and was not published till 1813, only four years before her death.

우선, 이 책은 (독자에게 간략히 상기시킬 필요가 있을지 모르지만) 처음 형태로는 매우 일찍, 대략 1796년경에 쓰였는데, 그때 미스 오스틴은 겨우 스물한 살이었다. 비록 약 15년 후 초턴에서 수정되고 완성되었으며, 그녀가 사망하기 불과 4년 전인 1813년에야 출판되었지만.

I do not know whether, in this combination of the fresh and vigorous projection of youth, and the critical revision of middle life, there may be traced the distinct superiority in point of construction, which, as it seems to me, it possesses over all the others.

나는 청춘의 신선하고 활기찬 구상과 중년의 비판적 수정이 결합된 이 작품에서, 내가 보기에 다른 모든 작품들보다 뛰어난 구성상의 명백한 우수성이 발견될 수 있는지 알지 못한다.

The plot, though not elaborate, is almost regular enough for Fielding; hardly a character, hardly an incident could be retrenched without loss to the story.

줄거리는 정교하지는 않지만, 필딩에 어울릴 만큼 거의 규칙적이다. 이야기에 손실 없이 삭제될 수 있는 인물도, 사건도 거의 없다.

The elopement of Lydia and Wickham is not, like that of Crawford and Mrs.
