Pride and Prejudice — Page 14

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

_The goodness of the minor characters in_ Pride and Prejudice _has been already alluded to, and it makes a detailed dwelling on their beauties difficult in any space, and impossible in this.

『오만과 편견』의 조연 인물들의 훌륭함은 이미 언급된 바 있으며, 그로 인해 어떤 지면에서도 그들의 매력을 상세히 다루기가 어렵고, 이 글에서는 더더욱 불가능하다.

Mrs. Bennet we have glanced at, and it is not easy to say whether she is more exquisitely amusing or more horribly true.

베넷 부인에 대해서는 이미 살펴보았는데, 그녀가 더없이 절묘하게 우스운 인물인지 아니면 섬뜩할 만큼 사실적인 인물인지 단정하기가 쉽지 않다.

Much the same may be said of Kitty and Lydia; but it is not every author, even of genius, who would have differentiated with such unerring skill the effects of folly and vulgarity of intellect and disposition working upon the common weaknesses of woman at such different ages.

키티와 리디아에 대해서도 거의 같은 말을 할 수 있다. 그러나 천재적인 작가라 할지라도, 이처럼 크게 다른 나이대에서 여성의 보편적인 약점에 작용하는 어리석음과 지성 및 성품의 저속함이 빚어내는 결과를 이토록 정확한 솜씨로 구별해낼 수 있는 작가가 모든 이에게 해당되지는 않는다.

With Mary, Miss Austen has taken rather less pains, though she has been even more unkind to her; not merely in the text, but, as we learn from those interesting traditional appendices which Mr. Austen Leigh has given us, in dooming her privately to marry "one of Mr. Philips's clerks."

메리에 대해서는 오스틴 양이 다소 덜 공을 들였지만, 오히려 그녀에게 더 불친절하게 대했다. 단지 본문에서만이 아니라, 오스틴 리 씨가 우리에게 전해준 흥미로운 전통적 부록에서 알 수 있듯이, 그녀를 사적으로 "필립스 씨의 점원 중 한 명"과 결혼하도록 운명지음으로써 그러했다.

The habits of first copying and then retailing moral sentiments, of playing and singing too long in public, are, no doubt, grievous and criminal; but perhaps poor Mary was rather the scapegoat of the sins of blue stockings in that Fordyce-belectured generation.

도덕적 감상들을 먼저 베끼고 나서 그것을 늘어놓는 습관, 공공장소에서 너무 오래 연주하고 노래하는 습관은 의심할 여지 없이 개탄스럽고 비난받을 만한 것이다. 하지만 가엾은 메리는 어쩌면 포다이스의 설교에 길들여진 그 세대의 지식인 여성들의 죄에 대한 희생양이었을지도 모른다.

It is at any rate difficult not to extend to her a share of the respect and affection (affection and respect of a peculiar kind; doubtless), with which one regards Mr. Collins, when she draws the moral of Lydia's fall.

어쨌든, 그녀가 리디아의 타락에서 교훈을 이끌어낼 때, 우리가 콜린스 씨를 바라보는 것과 같은 존경과 애정(물론 특별한 종류의 애정과 존경)의 일부를 그녀에게도 보내지 않기란 어렵다.
