Pride and Prejudice — Page 12
I will not admit that one speech or one action of this inestimable man is incapable of being reconciled with reality, and I should not wonder if many of these words and actions are historically true.
나는 이 비길 데 없는 인물의 어떤 말이나 행동도 현실과 조화될 수 없다는 것을 인정하지 않을 것이며, 이 말과 행동들 중 많은 것이 역사적으로 사실이라 해도 놀라지 않을 것이다.
But the greatness of Mr. Collins could not have been so satisfactorily exhibited if his creatress had not adjusted so artfully to him the figures of Mr. Bennet and of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
그러나 콜린스 씨의 위대함은 그를 창조한 여성 작가가 베넷 씨와 캐서린 드 버그 부인이라는 인물들을 그에게 그토록 교묘하게 맞추어 놓지 않았더라면 이처럼 만족스럽게 드러날 수 없었을 것이다.
The latter, like Mr. Collins himself, has been charged with exaggeration.
후자는 콜린스 씨 자신과 마찬가지로 과장되었다는 비난을 받아 왔다.
There is, perhaps, a very faint shade of colour for the charge; but it seems to me very faint indeed.
그 비난에는 아마도 아주 희미한 근거가 있을지 모르지만, 내게는 정말로 매우 희미하게 느껴진다.
Even now I do not think that it would be impossible to find persons, especially female persons, not necessarily of noble birth, as overbearing, as self-centred, as neglectful of good manners, as Lady Catherine.
지금 이 시대에도 반드시 귀족 출신이 아니더라도 캐서린 부인만큼 고압적이고, 자기중심적이며, 예의범절을 무시하는 사람들, 특히 여성들을 찾는 것이 불가능하지는 않을 것이라고 생각한다.
A hundred years ago, an earl's daughter, the Lady Powerful (if not exactly Bountiful) of an out-of-the-way country parish, rich, long out of marital authority, and so forth, had opportunities of developing these agreeable characteristics which seldom present themselves now.
백 년 전에는, 외딴 시골 교구의 백작 딸로서, 부유하고 오랫동안 결혼의 굴레에서 벗어나 있던 강력한 여주인(자선가라고까지는 할 수 없더라도)은 오늘날에는 좀처럼 생기지 않는 이러한 유쾌한 특성들을 발전시킬 기회를 가졌다.
As for Mr. Bennet, Miss Austen, and Mr. Darcy, and even Miss Elizabeth herself, were, I am inclined to think, rather hard on him for the "impropriety" of his conduct.
베넷 씨에 관해서는, 오스틴 양과 다아시 씨, 그리고 엘리자베스 양 자신조차도 그의 행동의 "부적절함"에 대해 그에게 다소 가혹했다고 나는 생각하는 편이다.
His wife was evidently, and must always have been, a quite irreclaimable fool; and unless he had shot her or himself there was no way out of it for a man of sense and spirit but the ironic.
그의 아내는 분명히, 그리고 항상 그래왔음이 틀림없는, 전혀 구제불능의 바보였으며, 그가 그녀나 자신을 쏘아 죽이지 않는 한 분별력과 기개를 가진 남자로서 그 상황을 벗어날 방법은 냉소적인 태도밖에 없었다.
