The Prince — Page 5

English → Korean Preface Level 8/10

" Then, writing of a new patron, he continues: "This will turn out well for you, but it is necessary for you to study; since, then, you have no longer the excuse of illness, take pains to study letters and music, for you see what honour is done to me for the little skill I have.

"그런 다음, 새로운 후원자에 대해 쓰면서 그는 이어 말한다: "이것은 당신에게 잘 될 것이지만, 당신이 공부하는 것이 필요합니다. 이제 더 이상 병을 핑계로 삼을 수 없으니, 문학과 음악을 열심히 공부하십시오. 내가 가진 작은 재능으로 내가 얼마나 큰 명예를 누리는지 보십시오.

Therefore, my son, if you wish to please me, and to bring success and honour to yourself, do right and study, because others will help you if you help yourself."

그러므로, 내 아들아, 나를 기쁘게 하고 스스로 성공과 명예를 가져오길 원한다면, 바르게 행동하고 공부하여라. 왜냐하면 네가 스스로를 돕는다면 다른 이들도 너를 도울 것이기 때문이다."

OFFICE — Æt. 25-43—1494-1512

관직 — 향년 25-43세 — 1494-1512

The second period of Machiavelli's life was spent in the service of the free Republic of Florence, which flourished, as stated above, from the expulsion of the Medici in 1494 until their return in 1512.

마키아벨리 생애의 두 번째 시기는 피렌체 자유 공화국을 섬기는 데 보내졌으며, 위에서 언급한 바와 같이 이 공화국은 1494년 메디치 가문의 추방부터 1512년 그들의 귀환까지 번성하였다.

After serving four years in one of the public offices he was appointed Chancellor and Secretary to the Second Chancery, the Ten of Liberty and Peace.

공공 기관 중 한 곳에서 4년간 근무한 후, 그는 제2 사무국, 즉 자유와 평화의 십인 위원회의 총리 겸 서기로 임명되었다.

Here we are on firm ground when dealing with the events of Machiavelli's life, for during this time he took a leading part in the affairs of the Republic, and we have its decrees, records, and dispatches to guide us, as well as his own writings.

이 시기에 우리는 마키아벨리의 생애에 관한 사건들을 다룰 때 확실한 근거를 가지고 있다. 왜냐하면 이 기간 동안 그는 공화국의 사무에서 주도적인 역할을 맡았으며, 우리에게는 그의 저술뿐만 아니라 공화국의 법령, 기록, 그리고 공문서들이 안내자로서 남아 있기 때문이다.

A mere recapitulation of a few of his transactions with the statesmen and soldiers of his time gives a fair indication of his activities, and supplies the sources from which he drew the experiences and characters which illustrate _The Prince_.

당대의 정치인들과 군인들과 나눈 몇 가지 교류를 단순히 요약하는 것만으로도 그의 활동을 충분히 엿볼 수 있으며, 그가 『군주론』을 설명하기 위해 끌어낸 경험과 인물들의 원천을 제공해 준다.
