The Adventures of Roderick Random — Page 6
It now remains to give my reasons for making the chief personage of this work a North Briton, which are chiefly these: I could, at a small expense, bestow on him such education as I thought the dignity of his birth and character required, which could not possibly be obtained in England, by such slender means as the nature of my plan would afford.
이제 이 작품의 주인공을 북부 브리튼인으로 설정한 이유를 밝힐 차례인데, 그 이유는 주로 다음과 같다. 나는 적은 비용으로 그에게 그의 출생과 성품의 품위에 걸맞다고 생각하는 교육을 베풀 수 있었으며, 그러한 교육은 내 계획의 성격상 허용되는 빈약한 수단으로는 잉글랜드에서 도저히 얻을 수 없는 것이었다.
In the next place, I could represent simplicity of manners in a remote part of the kingdom, with more propriety than in any place near the capital; and lastly, the disposition of the Scots, addicted to travelling, justifies my conduct in deriving an adventurer from that country.
다음으로, 나는 수도 근처의 어떤 곳에서보다도 왕국의 외딴 지방에서의 소박한 풍속을 더욱 적절하게 묘사할 수 있었다. 그리고 마지막으로, 여행을 즐기는 스코틀랜드인의 기질은 그 나라 출신의 모험가를 등장시키는 나의 행위를 정당화해 준다.
That the delicate reader may not be offended at the unmeaning oaths which proceed from the mouths of some persons in these memoirs, I beg leave to promise, that I imagined nothing could more effectually expose the absurdity of such miserable expletives, than a natural and verbal representation of the discourse in which they occur.
이 회고록에서 일부 인물들의 입에서 나오는 무의미한 욕설에 섬세한 독자들이 불쾌감을 느끼지 않도록, 나는 그러한 한심한 군더더기 표현들의 부조리함을 드러내는 데 있어 그것들이 등장하는 대화를 자연스럽고 언어적으로 그대로 재현하는 것보다 더 효과적인 방법은 없다고 생각했음을 약속드리는 바이다.
