The Prince — Page 6

English → Korean Preface Level 8/10

His first mission was in 1499 to Catherina Sforza, "my lady of Forli" of _The Prince_, from whose conduct and fate he drew the moral that it is far better to earn the confidence of the people than to rely on fortresses.

그의 첫 번째 임무는 1499년 카테리나 스포르차, 즉 『군주론』에 등장하는 "포를리의 귀부인"에게 파견된 것이었으며, 그는 그녀의 행동과 운명으로부터 요새에 의존하는 것보다 민중의 신뢰를 얻는 것이 훨씬 낫다는 교훈을 이끌어냈다.

This is a very noticeable principle in Machiavelli, and is urged by him in many ways as a matter of vital importance to princes.

이것은 마키아벨리에게서 매우 두드러지는 원칙으로, 그는 이를 군주들에게 지극히 중요한 문제로서 여러 방식으로 강조하였다.

In 1500 he was sent to France to obtain terms from Louis XII for continuing the war against Pisa: this king it was who, in his conduct of affairs in Italy, committed the five capital errors in statecraft summarized in _The Prince_, and was consequently driven out.

1500년에 그는 피사에 대한 전쟁을 계속하기 위한 조건을 루이 12세로부터 얻어내기 위해 프랑스로 파견되었다. 이탈리아 문제를 처리하는 과정에서 『군주론』에 요약된 다섯 가지 치명적인 통치술의 오류를 범한 것은 바로 이 왕이었으며, 그 결과 그는 쫓겨나게 되었다.

He, also, it was who made the dissolution of his marriage a condition of support to Pope Alexander VI; which leads Machiavelli to refer those who urge that such promises should be kept to what he has written concerning the faith of princes.

또한 교황 알렉산데르 6세에 대한 지원의 조건으로 자신의 결혼 해소를 요구한 것도 바로 그였다. 이로 인해 마키아벨리는 그러한 약속은 지켜져야 한다고 주장하는 사람들에게 군주의 신의에 관하여 자신이 쓴 내용을 참고하도록 안내하게 된다.

Machiavelli's public life was largely occupied with events arising out of the ambitions of Pope Alexander VI and his son, Cesare Borgia, the Duke Valentino, and these characters fill a large space of _The Prince_.

마키아벨리의 공적 생활은 교황 알렉산데르 6세와 그의 아들 체사레 보르자, 즉 발렌티노 공작의 야망에서 비롯된 사건들로 크게 점철되었으며, 이 인물들은 『군주론』의 상당 부분을 차지하고 있다.

Machiavelli never hesitates to cite the actions of the duke for the benefit of usurpers who wish to keep the states they have seized; he can, indeed, find no precepts to offer so good as the pattern of Cesare Borgia's conduct, insomuch that Cesare is acclaimed by some critics as the "hero" of _The Prince_.

마키아벨리는 자신이 빼앗은 국가를 유지하려는 찬탈자들을 위해 공작의 행동을 인용하는 것을 결코 주저하지 않는다. 실제로 그는 체사레 보르자의 행동 양식만큼 훌륭한 교훈을 제시할 수 없었으며, 그리하여 체사레는 일부 비평가들로부터 『군주론』의 "영웅"으로 칭송받고 있다.
