The Adventures of Roderick Random — Page 3

English → Korean Preface Level 8/10

As learning advanced, and genius received cultivation, these stories were embellished with the graces of poetry, that they might the better recommend themselves to the attention;

학문이 발전하고 천재성이 계발됨에 따라, 이 이야기들은 시의 우아함으로 꾸며져 사람들의 관심을 더 잘 끌 수 있게 되었으며,

they were sung in public, at festivals, for the instruction and delight of the audience;

이 이야기들은 축제에서 공개적으로 노래로 불려, 청중의 교화와 즐거움을 위해 사용되었고,

and rehearsed before battle, as incentives to deeds of glory.

전투 전에는 영광스러운 행위를 고취하기 위한 자극제로서 낭송되었다.

Thus tragedy and the epic muse were born, and, in the progress of taste, arrived at perfection.

이렇게 하여 비극과 서사시의 뮤즈가 탄생하였고, 취향의 발전 속에서 완성의 경지에 이르렀다.

It is no wonder that the ancients could not relish a fable in prose, after they had seen so many remarkable events celebrated in verse by their best poets;

고대인들이 산문으로 된 우화를 즐기지 못한 것은 놀랄 일이 아니니, 그들은 이미 최고의 시인들이 수많은 놀라운 사건들을 운문으로 찬양하는 것을 보아왔기 때문이다.

we therefore find no romance among them during the era of their excellence, unless the _Cyropædia_ of Xenophon may be so called;

따라서 우리는 그들의 전성기 동안 크세노폰의 『키루스의 교육』이 그렇게 불릴 수 있는 경우를 제외하고는 그들 사이에서 로맨스를 찾아볼 수 없으며,

and it was not till arts and sciences began to revive after the irruption of the barbarians into Europe, that anything of this kind appeared.

야만인들이 유럽에 침입한 이후 예술과 학문이 부흥하기 시작할 때까지는 이런 종류의 것이 나타나지 않았다.

But when the minds of men were debauched by the imposition of priestcraft to the most absurd pitch of credulity, the authors of romance arose, and losing sight of probability, filled their performances with the most monstrous hyperboles.

그러나 인간의 정신이 성직자들의 강압에 의해 가장 터무니없는 수준의 맹신으로 타락하게 되었을 때, 로맨스 작가들이 등장하여 개연성을 외면하고 가장 괴기스러운 과장으로 작품을 가득 채웠다.

If they could not equal the ancient poets in point of genius they were resolved to excel them in fiction, and apply to the wonder, rather than the judgment, of their readers.

천재성에 있어서 고대 시인들과 동등할 수 없다면, 그들은 허구에서 고대 시인들을 능가하고, 독자들의 판단력보다는 경이감에 호소하기로 결심하였다.

Accordingly, they brought necromancy to their aid, and instead of supporting the character of their heroes by dignity of sentiment and practice, distinguished them by their bodily strength, activity, and extravagance of behaviour.

따라서 그들은 강령술을 도입하였고, 영웅들의 성품을 감정과 행동의 품위로 뒷받침하는 대신, 신체적 힘과 활동성, 그리고 행동의 기이함으로 영웅들을 두드러지게 하였다.
