The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom — Complete — Page 8
So far as we may judge from the other personages of Count Fathom, even this interesting Amazon would sooner or later have turned into a wooden figure, with a label giving the necessary information as to her character.
카운트 파덤의 다른 인물들로 판단컨대, 이 흥미로운 아마존 여인조차도 조만간 그녀의 성격에 관한 필요한 정보를 담은 꼬리표가 붙은 목각 인형으로 전락하고 말았을 것이다.
Such certainly is her son, Fathom, the hero of the book.
그녀의 아들이자 이 책의 주인공인 파덤이 분명히 그러하다.
Because he is placarded, "Shrewd villain of monstrous inhumanity," we are fain to accept him for what his creator intended; but seldom in word or deed is he a convincingly real villain.
그는 "끔찍한 비인간성을 지닌 교활한 악당"이라는 딱지가 붙어 있기에, 우리는 그의 창조자가 의도한 대로 그를 받아들일 수밖에 없다. 그러나 말이나 행동에서 그가 설득력 있는 진짜 악당으로 느껴지는 경우는 드물다.
His friend and foil, the noble young Count de Melvil, is no more alive than he; and equally wooden are Joshua, the high-minded, saint-like Jew, and that tedious, foolish Don Diego.
그의 친구이자 대조적 인물인 고귀한 젊은 멜빌 백작도 그보다 더 생동감이 있지는 않으며, 고결하고 성인 같은 유대인 조슈아와 지루하고 어리석은 돈 디에고 역시 마찬가지로 생기가 없다.
Neither is the heroine alive, the peerless Monimia, but then, in her case, want of vitality is not surprising; the presence of it would amaze us.
여주인공인 비길 데 없는 모니미아 역시 생동감이 없다. 하지만 그녀의 경우에는 생기의 부재가 놀랍지 않다. 오히려 생기가 있다면 우리를 놀라게 할 것이다.
If she were a woman throbbing with life, she would be different from Smollett's other heroines.
만약 그녀가 생명력으로 약동하는 여성이었다면, 그녀는 스몰렛의 다른 여주인공들과는 달랐을 것이다.
The "second lady" of the melodrama, Mademoiselle de Melvil, though by no means vivified, is yet more real than her sister-in-law.
이 멜로드라마의 "두 번째 여인"인 멜빌 양은 결코 생동감 있다고는 할 수 없지만, 그래도 그녀의 올케보다는 더 실감 나는 인물이다.
The fact that they are mostly inanimate figures is not the only surprise given us by the personages of Count Fathom.
그들이 대부분 생기 없는 인물들이라는 사실이 카운트 파덤의 등장인물들이 우리에게 주는 유일한 놀라움은 아니다.
It is a surprise to find few of them strikingly whimsical; it is a surprise to find them in some cases far more distinctly conceived than any of the people in Roderick Random or Peregrine Pickle.
그들 중 두드러지게 기발한 인물이 거의 없다는 것도 놀랍고, 어떤 경우에는 그들이 로더릭 랜덤이나 페레그린 피클에 나오는 어떤 인물보다도 훨씬 더 뚜렷하게 형상화되어 있다는 것도 놀랍다.
