The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom — Complete — Page 7

English → Korean Preface Level 8/10

To one whose idea of Smollett's genius is formed entirely by Random and Pickle and Humphry Clinker, Ferdinand Count Fathom will offer many surprises.

스몰렛의 천재성에 대한 생각이 오로지 『랜덤』과 『피클』, 그리고 『험프리 클링커』에 의해 형성된 독자에게, 『페르디난드 파돔 백작』은 많은 놀라움을 선사할 것이다.

The first of these is the comparative lifelessness of the book.

그 중 첫 번째는 이 책의 상대적인 생기 없음이다.

True, here again are action and incident galore, but generally unaccompanied by that rough Georgian hurly-burly, common in Smollett, which is so interesting to contemplate from a comfortable distance, and which goes so far towards making his fiction seem real.

물론 여기에도 풍부한 행동과 사건들이 있지만, 스몰렛의 작품에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 거칠고 조지아 시대적인 소란스러움은 대체로 동반되지 않는다. 그 소란스러움은 편안한 거리를 두고 바라볼 때 매우 흥미롭고, 그의 소설을 실감나게 만드는 데 크게 기여하는 요소이다.

Nor are the characters, for the most part, life-like enough to be interesting.

또한 등장인물들도 대부분 흥미를 끌 만큼 충분히 생동감 있지 않다.

There is an apparent exception, to be sure, in the hero's mother, already mentioned, the hardened camp-follower, whom we confidently expect to become vitalised after the savage fashion of Smollett's characters.

물론 앞서 언급된 주인공의 어머니, 즉 이미 단련된 군대 추종자에게는 명백한 예외가 있으며, 우리는 그녀가 스몰렛 특유의 거친 방식으로 생동감 있게 살아날 것이라 자신 있게 기대한다.

But, alas! we have no chance to learn the lady's style of conversation, for the few words that come from her lips are but partially characteristic; we have only too little chance to learn her manners and customs.

그러나 아쉽게도! 우리는 그 여인의 대화 방식을 알 기회가 없다. 그녀의 입에서 나오는 몇 마디 말은 그녀의 성격을 부분적으로만 드러낼 뿐이며, 그녀의 매너와 습관을 알 기회는 너무나도 부족하다.

In the fourth chapter, while she is making sure with her dagger that all those on the field of battle whom she wishes to rifle are really dead, an officer of the hussars, who has been watching her lucrative progress, unfeelingly puts a brace of bullets into the lady's brain, just as she raises her hand to smite him to the heart.

4장에서, 그녀가 전장에서 약탈하고자 하는 자들이 정말로 죽었는지 단검으로 확인하는 동안, 그녀의 수익성 있는 행각을 지켜보고 있던 경기병 장교가, 그녀가 자신의 심장을 치려고 손을 들어 올리는 바로 그 순간, 냉정하게 두 발의 총알을 그 여인의 머릿속에 박아 넣는다.

Perhaps it is as well that she is thus removed before our disappointment at the non-fulfilment of her promise becomes poignant.

아마도 그녀가 우리에게 약속한 것들이 실현되지 못한 데 대한 실망이 깊어지기 전에 이렇게 퇴장하는 것이 차라리 나을지도 모른다.
