The Adventures of Roderick Random — Page 4
Although nothing could be more ludicrous and unnatural than the figures they drew, they did not want patrons and admirers; and the world actually began to be infected with the spirit of knight-errantry, when Cervantes, by an inimitable piece of ridicule, reformed the taste of mankind, representing chivalry in the right point of view, and converting romance to purposes far more useful and entertaining, by making it assume the sock, and point out the follies of ordinary life.
그들이 그린 인물들보다 더 우스꽝스럽고 부자연스러운 것은 없었음에도 불구하고, 그들에게는 후원자와 찬미자가 부족하지 않았다. 그리고 세르반테스가 비길 데 없는 풍자로 기사도를 올바른 시각으로 표현하고, 로맨스를 훨씬 더 유익하고 재미있는 목적으로 전환시켜 희극의 옷을 입히고 일상생활의 어리석음을 지적함으로써 인류의 취향을 개혁하였을 때, 세상은 실제로 편력 기사도의 정신에 물들기 시작하고 있었다.
The same method has been practised by other Spanish and French authors, and by none more successfully than by Monsieur Le Sage, who, in his _Adventures of Gil Blas_, has described the knavery and foibles of life, with infinite humour and sagacity.
같은 방법이 다른 스페인과 프랑스 작가들에 의해서도 사용되었으며, 그 중에서도 르사주 씨가 가장 성공적으로 활용하였는데, 그는 『질 블라스의 모험』에서 무한한 유머와 통찰력으로 삶의 교활함과 약점들을 묘사하였다.
The following sheets I have modelled on his plan, taking me liberty, however, to differ from him in the execution, where I thought his particular situations were uncommon, extravagant, or peculiar to the country in which the scene is laid.
나는 다음의 내용을 그의 계획을 본보기로 삼아 구성하였으나, 그의 특정 상황들이 흔치 않거나 과장되었거나 혹은 배경이 되는 나라에만 특유한 것이라고 판단되는 경우에는 그와 다르게 실행하는 자유를 취하였다.
The disgraces of Gil Blas are, for the most part, such as rather excite mirth than compassion; he himself laughs at them; and his transitions from distress to happiness, or at least ease, are so sudden, that neither the reader has time to pity him, nor himself to be acquainted with affliction.
질 블라스의 수치스러운 일들은 대부분 연민보다는 오히려 웃음을 자아내는 것들이며, 그 자신도 그것들을 보고 웃는다. 그리고 그의 고난에서 행복으로, 혹은 적어도 편안함으로의 전환이 너무나 갑작스러워서 독자가 그를 불쌍히 여길 시간도, 그 자신이 고통을 알게 될 시간도 없다.
This conduct, in my opinion, not only deviates from probability, but prevents that generous indignation, which ought to animate the reader against the sordid and vicious disposition of the world.
이러한 태도는 내 생각으로는 개연성에서 벗어날 뿐만 아니라, 세상의 타락하고 악한 성향에 맞서 독자를 분발시켜야 할 고귀한 분노를 방해한다.
