The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African: Written By Himself — Page 6

English → Korean CHAPTER I. Level 7/10

Some time after she is brought home to her husband, and then another feast is made, to which the relations of both parties are invited: her parents then deliver her to the bridegroom, accompanied with a number of blessings, and at the same time they tie round her waist a cotton string of the thickness of a goose-quill, which none but married women are permitted to wear: she is now considered as completely his wife; and at this time the dowry is given to the new married pair, which generally consists of portions of land, slaves, and cattle, household goods, and implements of husbandry.

얼마 후 그녀는 남편의 집으로 데려와지고, 그때 또 다른 잔치가 열리며 양측의 친척들이 초대됩니다. 그녀의 부모는 많은 축복과 함께 그녀를 신랑에게 인도하고, 동시에 거위 깃털 굵기의 면 끈을 그녀의 허리에 묶어주는데, 이 끈은 기혼 여성만이 착용할 수 있습니다. 그녀는 이제 완전히 그의 아내로 여겨지며, 이 시점에 지참금이 새 부부에게 주어지는데, 이는 일반적으로 토지, 노예, 가축, 가정용품, 그리고 농기구 등으로 구성됩니다.

These are offered by the friends of both parties; besides which the parents of the bridegroom present gifts to those of the bride, whose property she is looked upon before marriage; but after it she is esteemed the sole property of her husband.

이것들은 양측의 친구들이 제공하며, 그 외에도 신랑의 부모는 신부의 부모에게 선물을 드리는데, 결혼 전에 그녀는 신부 부모의 소유로 여겨졌으나, 결혼 후에는 남편만의 소유로 간주됩니다.

The ceremony being now ended the festival begins, which is celebrated with bonefires, and loud acclamations of joy, accompanied with music and dancing.

이제 의식이 끝나면 축제가 시작되며, 모닥불과 함께 음악과 춤을 곁들인 큰 환호성으로 축하합니다.

We are almost a nation of dancers, musicians, and poets.

우리는 거의 무용가, 음악가, 그리고 시인들의 민족입니다.

Thus every great event, such as a triumphant return from battle, or other cause of public rejoicing is celebrated in public dances, which are accompanied with songs and music suited to the occasion.

따라서 전투에서의 승리로운 귀환이나 다른 공공의 기쁜 사건과 같은 모든 큰 행사는 공개적인 춤으로 기념되며, 그 춤에는 상황에 맞는 노래와 음악이 수반됩니다.

The assembly is separated into four divisions, which dance either apart or in succession, and each with a character peculiar to itself.

모임은 네 개의 무리로 나뉘어지며, 각각 따로 또는 차례로 춤을 추고, 저마다 고유한 특성을 지니고 있습니다.
