The Odyssey: Rendered into English prose for the use of those who cannot read the original — Page 7

English → Korean Preface Level 6/10

But Odysseus yearning to see if it were but the smoke leap upwards from his own land, hath a desire to die.

하지만 오디세우스는 자신의 고향 땅에서 연기라도 피어오르는 것을 보고자 간절히 바라며, 죽고 싶은 마음을 품고 있습니다.

As for thee, thine heart regardeth it not at all, Olympian!

당신에 관해서라면, 올림포스의 신이시여, 당신의 마음은 이를 전혀 헤아리지 않는군요!

What! Did not Odysseus by the ships of the Argives make thee free offering of sacrifice in the wide Trojan land?

어찌된 일입니까! 오디세우스가 아르고스인들의 함선 곁에서 넓은 트로이아 땅에서 당신께 정성껏 제물을 바치지 않았습니까?

Wherefore wast thou then so wroth with him, O Zeus?'

그렇다면 제우스시여, 어찌하여 그에게 그토록 진노하셨습니까?'

The "Odyssey" (as every one knows) abounds in passages borrowed from the "Iliad"; I had wished to print these in a slightly different type, with marginal references to the "Iliad," and had marked them to this end in my MS.

《오디세이아》에는 (누구나 알다시피) 《일리아스》에서 차용한 구절들이 풍부하게 담겨 있습니다. 저는 이 구절들을 약간 다른 서체로 인쇄하고, 《일리아스》에 대한 방주를 달고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 원고에 표시해 두었습니다.

I found, however, that the translation would be thus hopelessly scholasticised, and abandoned my intention.

그러나 그렇게 하면 번역이 걷잡을 수 없이 학술적으로 변해버릴 것임을 깨닫고, 그 의도를 포기하였습니다.

I would nevertheless urge on those who have the management of our University presses, that they would render a great service to students if they would publish a Greek text of the "Odyssey" with the Iliadic passages printed in a different type, and with marginal references.

그럼에도 불구하고 저는 우리 대학 출판부를 운영하는 분들에게 간곡히 촉구하는 바입니다. 만약 《오디세이아》의 그리스어 원문을 출판할 때 《일리아스》에서 온 구절들을 다른 서체로 인쇄하고 방주를 달아 준다면 학생들에게 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.

I have given the British Museum a copy of the "Odyssey" with the Iliadic passages underlined and referred to in MS.; I have also given an "Iliad" marked with all the Odyssean passages, and their references; but copies of both the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" so marked ought to be within easy reach of all students.

저는 대영박물관에 《일리아스》에서 온 구절들에 밑줄을 긋고 원고에 참조 표시를 한 《오디세이아》 사본을 기증하였습니다. 또한 오디세이아의 구절들과 그 참조를 모두 표시한 《일리아스》도 기증하였습니다. 그러나 이와 같이 표시된 《일리아스》와 《오디세이아》 양쪽의 사본은 모든 학생들이 쉽게 접할 수 있어야 마땅합니다.
