The Adventures of Roderick Random — Page 2
The reader gratifies his curiosity in pursuing the adventures of a person in whose favour he is prepossessed; he espouses his cause, he sympathises with him in his distress, his indignation is heated against the authors of his calamity: the humane passions are inflamed; the contrast between dejected virtue and insulting vice appears with greater aggravation, and every impression having a double force on the imagination, the memory retains the circumstance, and the heart improves by the example.
독자는 자신이 호감을 품고 있는 인물의 모험을 쫓으며 호기심을 충족시키고, 그의 편을 들며, 그가 고통받을 때 함께 공감하고, 그에게 재앙을 가져다 준 자들에 대한 분노가 달아오르며, 인도적인 감정이 불타오르고, 풀죽은 미덕과 오만한 악덕 사이의 대조가 더욱 강렬하게 드러나며, 모든 인상이 상상력에 두 배의 힘을 발휘하여 기억은 그 상황을 간직하고 마음은 그 본보기로부터 향상된다.
The attention is not tired with a bare catalogue of characters, but agreeably diverted with all the variety of invention; and the vicissitudes of life appear in their peculiar circumstances, opening an ample field for wit and humour.
주의는 단순한 인물 목록에 지치지 않고, 온갖 다양한 창의력으로 유쾌하게 즐거움을 얻으며, 삶의 변천은 그 고유한 상황 속에서 드러나 기지와 유머를 위한 넓은 장을 열어 준다.
Romance, no doubt, owes its origin to ignorance, vanity, and superstition.
로맨스는 의심할 여지 없이 무지와 허영심과 미신에서 그 기원을 찾을 수 있다.
In the dark ages of the World, when a man had rendered himself famous for wisdom or valour, his family and adherents availed themselves of his superior qualities, magnified his virtues, and represented his character and person as sacred and supernatural.
세상의 암흑 시대에, 어떤 사람이 지혜나 용맹으로 명성을 얻었을 때, 그의 가족과 추종자들은 그의 뛰어난 자질을 이용하여 그의 미덕을 과장하고 그의 인격과 인물을 신성하고 초자연적인 것으로 묘사하였다.
The vulgar easily swallowed the bait, implored his protection, and yielded the tribute of homage and praise, even to adoration; his exploits were handed down to posterity with a thousand exaggerations; they were repeated as incitements to virtue; divine honours were paid, and altars erected to his memory, for the encouragement of those who attempted to imitate his example; and hence arose the heathen mythology, which is no other than a collection of extravagant romances.
천박한 대중은 쉽게 미끼를 삼켜 그의 보호를 간청하고 경배에 이르기까지 존경과 찬사의 헌사를 바쳤으며, 그의 공적은 수천 가지 과장과 함께 후세에 전해졌고, 미덕을 고취하는 자극제로서 반복되었으며, 신성한 영예가 바쳐지고 그의 기억을 위해 제단이 세워졌으니 이는 그의 본보기를 따르려는 자들을 격려하기 위함이었고, 이로부터 이교도 신화가 생겨났는데 이는 다름 아닌 황당한 로맨스들의 모음집에 불과하다.
