The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom — Complete — Page 13
In chronicling the latter meteoric career, Smollett had already observed the peculiarity of his countrymen which Thackeray was fond of harping on in the next century—"the maxim which universally prevails among the English people . . to overlook, . . on their return to the metropolis, all the connexions they may have chanced to acquire during their residence at any of the medical wells.
후자의 혜성같은 경력을 기록하면서, 스몰렛은 이미 새커리가 다음 세기에 즐겨 되풀이하여 강조했던 자국민의 특이한 면을 포착하고 있었다—"영국인들 사이에서 보편적으로 통용되는 격언, 즉 어떤 온천 요양지에 머무는 동안 우연히 맺게 된 모든 인연을 수도로 돌아올 때에는 못 본 체한다는 것이다.
And this social disposition is so scrupulously maintained, that two persons who live in the most intimate correspondence at Bath or Tunbridge, shall, in four-and-twenty hours . . meet in St. James's Park, without betraying the least token of recognition."
그리고 이러한 사교적 성향은 너무나 철저히 지켜져서, 배스나 턴브리지에서 가장 친밀하게 교류하던 두 사람이 불과 스물네 시간 안에 세인트 제임스 파크에서 마주쳐도 전혀 알아보는 기색을 내비치지 않는다는 것이다."
And good, too, is the way in which, as Dr. Fathom goes rapidly down the social hill, he makes excuses for his declining splendour.
또한 훌륭한 것은, 패덤 박사가 사회적으로 빠르게 몰락해가면서 자신의 쇠락해가는 화려함에 대해 변명을 늘어놓는 방식이다.
His chariot was overturned "with a hideous crash" at such danger to himself, "that he did not believe he should ever hazard himself again in any sort of wheel carriage."
그의 마차는 "끔찍한 굉음과 함께" 뒤집혔는데 그 위험이 너무 컸기에, "다시는 어떤 종류의 바퀴 달린 탈것도 타지 않겠다고" 다짐했다.
He turned off his men for maids, because "men servants are generally impudent, lazy, debauched, or dishonest."
그는 남자 하인들을 내보내고 하녀들로 바꾸었는데, "남자 하인들은 대체로 버릇없고, 게으르고, 방탕하거나 부정직하기 때문"이라고 했다.
To avoid the din of the street, he shifted his lodgings into a quiet, obscure court.
거리의 소음을 피하기 위해, 그는 조용하고 외진 골목으로 거처를 옮겼다.
And so forth and so on, in the true Smollett vein.
이런 식으로 계속되는데, 진정한 스몰렛 특유의 필치이다.
But, after all, such of the old sparks are struck only occasionally.
그러나 결국, 이러한 예전의 불꽃들은 간간이만 튀어오를 뿐이다.
