The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom — Complete — Page 6
This individuality—the peculiar spirit of the author which can be felt rather than described—is present in the dedication of Fathom to Doctor ———, who is no other than Smollett himself, and a candid revelation of his character, by the way, this dedication contains.
이 개성—묘사되기보다는 느껴질 수 있는 작가의 독특한 정신—은 파덤을 ———박사에게 바치는 헌정사에 나타나 있는데, 그 박사는 다름 아닌 스몰렛 자신이며, 이 헌정사에는 그의 성격에 대한 솔직한 고백이 담겨 있다.
It is present, too, in the opening chapters, which show, likewise, in the picture of Fathom's mother, something of the author's peculiar "talent for invention."
그것은 또한 도입부 장들에도 나타나 있는데, 그 장들은 마찬가지로 파덤의 어머니를 묘사하는 장면에서 작가의 독특한 "창작적 재능"의 일면을 보여 준다.
Subsequently, however, there is no denying that the Smollett invention and the Smollett spirit both flag.
그러나 그 이후에는 스몰렛의 창의성과 스몰렛의 정신이 모두 약해진다는 것을 부정할 수 없다.
And yet, in a way, Fathom displays more invention than any of the author's novels; it is based far less than any other on personal experience.
그럼에도 불구하고, 어떤 면에서 파덤은 작가의 어떤 소설보다도 더 많은 창의성을 보여 주며, 개인적인 경험에 의존하는 정도가 다른 어떤 작품보다도 훨씬 적다.
Unfortunately such thorough-going invention was not suited to Smollett's genius.
안타깝게도 이처럼 철저한 창작은 스몰렛의 천재성에 맞지 않았다.
The result is, that while uninteresting as a novel of contemporary manners, Fathom has an interest of its own in that it reveals a new side of its author.
그 결과, 파덤은 당대 풍속 소설로서는 흥미롭지 않지만, 작가의 새로운 면모를 드러낸다는 점에서 나름의 흥미를 지닌다.
We think of Smollett, generally, as a rambling storyteller, a rational, unromantic man of the world, who fills his pages with his own oddly-metamorphosed acquaintances and experiences.
우리는 일반적으로 스몰렛을 두서없는 이야기꾼, 합리적이고 낭만적이지 않은 세속적인 사람으로 생각하며, 그는 자신의 기묘하게 변형된 지인들과 경험들로 페이지를 채운다.
The Smollett of Count Fathom, on the contrary, is rather a forerunner of the romantic school, who has created a tolerably organic tale of adventure out of his own brain.
반면에 카운트 파덤의 스몰렛은 오히려 낭만주의 문학의 선구자로서, 자신의 머릿속에서 꽤 유기적인 모험 이야기를 창조해 냈다.
Though this is notably less readable than the author's earlier works, still the wonder is that when the man is so far "off his beat," he should yet know so well how to meet the strange conditions which confront him.
이 작품이 작가의 초기 작품들보다 훨씬 읽기 어렵기는 하지만, 그럼에도 놀라운 점은 그가 자신의 익숙한 영역에서 이토록 멀리 벗어났음에도 불구하고, 자신에게 닥친 낯선 상황들을 어떻게 헤쳐 나가야 할지를 여전히 이토록 잘 알고 있다는 것이다.
