The Confessions of St. Augustine — Page 7

English → Korean BOOK I Level 9/10

For then I knew but to suck; to repose in what pleased, and cry at what offended my flesh; nothing more.

그때 나는 오직 젖을 빠는 것, 육신이 즐거워하는 것에서 쉬는 것, 그리고 육신을 불쾌하게 하는 것에 울음으로 반응하는 것만을 알았을 뿐이었다. 그 이상은 아무것도 없었다.

Afterwards I began to smile; first in sleep, then waking: for so it was told me of myself, and I believed it; for we see the like in other infants, though of myself I remember it not.

그 후 나는 미소를 짓기 시작했다. 처음에는 잠 속에서, 그 다음에는 깨어 있을 때였다. 그것은 나 자신에 대해 내게 전해진 이야기였고 나는 그것을 믿었다. 왜냐하면 우리는 다른 아이들에게서도 그와 같은 모습을 보기 때문이다. 비록 나 자신은 그것을 기억하지 못하지만.

Thus, little by little, I became conscious where I was; and to have a wish to express my wishes to those who could content them, and I could not; for the wishes were within me, and they without; nor could they by any sense of theirs enter within my spirit.

이렇게 하여 나는 조금씩 내가 어디에 있는지를 의식하게 되었다. 그리고 나의 바람을 들어줄 수 있는 사람들에게 그 바람을 표현하고 싶었지만 그럴 수가 없었다. 바람은 내 안에 있었고 그들은 밖에 있었으며, 그들의 어떤 감각으로도 내 영혼 안으로 들어올 수 없었기 때문이다.

So I flung about at random limbs and voice, making the few signs I could, and such as I could, like, though in truth very little like, what I wished.

그래서 나는 팔다리와 목소리를 마구 휘두르며, 내가 할 수 있는 몇 가지 몸짓을 만들어냈다. 그것은 내가 원하는 것과 비슷하게 하려 했지만 사실 아주 조금밖에 닮지 않은 것이었다.

And when I was not presently obeyed (my wishes being hurtful or unintelligible), then I was indignant with my elders for not submitting to me, with those owing me no service, for not serving me; and avenged myself on them by tears.

그리고 내 바람이 즉시 받아들여지지 않을 때(내 바람이 해롭거나 이해할 수 없는 것이었기 때문에), 나는 어른들이 나에게 복종하지 않는다고 분개했다. 나를 섬길 의무가 없는 그들이 나를 섬기지 않는다고 화를 냈고, 눈물로 그들에게 복수했다.

Such have I learnt infants to be from observing them; and that I was myself such, they, all unconscious, have shown me better than my nurses who knew it.

나는 아이들을 관찰하면서 그들이 그러하다는 것을 배웠다. 그리고 내가 나 자신도 그러했다는 것은, 그것을 알고 있었던 나의 유모들보다도, 전혀 의식하지 못한 채로 그들이 내게 더 잘 보여주었다.

And, lo! my infancy died long since, and I live.

보라! 나의 유아기는 이미 오래전에 죽었고, 나는 살아 있다.
