Spoon River Anthology — Page 8

English → Korean Full Text Level 4/10

For the Protestants bought this lot,

왜냐하면 개신교도들이 이 묏자리를 샀고,

And buried my body here,

이곳에 내 몸을 묻었기 때문이다,

Close to the grave of the banker Nicholas,

은행가 니컬러스의 무덤 가까이,

And of his wife Priscilla.

그리고 그의 아내 프리실라의 무덤 가까이에.

Take note, ye prudent and pious souls,

주목하라, 신중하고 경건한 영혼들이여,

Of the cross—currents in life

삶 속의 엇갈리는 흐름들을,

Which bring honor to the dead, who lived in shame

수치 속에 살았던 죽은 자에게 명예를 가져다주는.

Harry Carey Goodhue

해리 캐리 굿휴

You never marveled, dullards of Spoon River,

너희는 결코 놀라지 않았다, 스푼 리버의 둔한 자들이여,

When Chase Henry voted against the saloons

체이스 헨리가 술집들에 반대표를 던졌을 때,

To revenge himself for being shut off.

술집 출입을 거절당한 것에 복수하기 위해서였음을.

But none of you was keen enough

하지만 너희 중 누구도 충분히 예리하지 못했다,

To follow my steps, or trace me home

내 발자취를 따라오거나, 나를 끝까지 추적하여

As Chase's spiritual brother.

체이스의 정신적 형제로 밝혀내기에.

Do you remember when I fought

너희는 기억하는가, 내가 싸웠을 때를,

The bank and the courthouse ring,

은행과 법원의 무리에 맞서,

For pocketing the interest on public funds?

공공 자금의 이자를 착복한 것에 대해?

And when I fought our leading citizens

그리고 내가 우리 지역의 유력 시민들에 맞서 싸웠을 때를,

For making the poor the pack-horses of the taxes?

가난한 자들을 세금의 짐말로 만든 것에 대해?

And when I fought the water works

그리고 내가 수도 회사에 맞서 싸웠을 때를,

For stealing streets and raising rates?

거리를 가로채고 요금을 올린 것에 대해?

And when I fought the business men

그리고 내가 그 사업가들에 맞서 싸웠을 때를,

Who fought me in these fights?

이 싸움들에서 나와 맞섰던?

Then do you remember:

그렇다면 너희는 기억하는가:

That staggering up from the wreck of defeat,

패배의 잔해로부터 비틀거리며 일어나,

And the wreck of a ruined career,

그리고 망가진 삶의 잔해로부터,

I slipped from my cloak my last ideal,

나는 외투 속에서 마지막 이상을 꺼냈다,

Hidden from all eyes until then,

그때까지 모든 눈으로부터 숨겨져 있던,

Like the cherished jawbone of an ass,

소중히 간직된 나귀의 턱뼈처럼,

And smote the bank and the water works,

그리고 은행과 수도 회사를 쳐부쉈다,

And the business men with prohibition,

그리고 금주령으로 그 사업가들을,

And made Spoon River pay the cost

그리고 스푼 리버로 하여금 그 대가를 치르게 했다,

Of the fights that I had lost.

내가 졌던 싸움들의.
