The Prince — Page 7
Yet in _The Prince_ the duke is in point of fact cited as a type of the man who rises on the fortune of others, and falls with them; who takes every course that might be expected from a prudent man but the course which will save him; who is prepared for all eventualities but the one which happens; and who, when all his abilities fail to carry him through, exclaims that it was not his fault, but an extraordinary and unforeseen fatality.
그러나 『군주론』에서 공작은 사실상 타인의 운에 기대어 올라가고 그들과 함께 몰락하는 인간의 전형으로 인용된다. 그는 신중한 사람이라면 당연히 취할 법한 모든 방책을 취하되, 정작 자신을 구할 방책만은 취하지 않으며, 일어날 수 있는 모든 상황에 대비하되 실제로 일어나는 그 상황만은 대비하지 못하고, 자신의 모든 능력이 그를 헤쳐나가게 하는 데 실패하면 그것은 자신의 잘못이 아니라 비범하고 예측 불가능한 운명의 탓이라고 외치는 자이다.
On the death of Pius III, in 1503, Machiavelli was sent to Rome to watch the election of his successor, and there he saw Cesare Borgia cheated into allowing the choice of the College to fall on Giuliano delle Rovere (Julius II), who was one of the cardinals that had most reason to fear the duke.
1503년 비오 3세가 사망하자, 마키아벨리는 후임자 선출을 지켜보기 위해 로마로 파견되었고, 그곳에서 그는 체사레 보르자가 속아 넘어가 추기경단의 선택이 줄리아노 델라 로베레(율리우스 2세)에게 돌아가도록 허용하는 것을 목격했다. 율리우스 2세는 공작을 두려워할 이유가 가장 많았던 추기경들 중 한 명이었다.
Machiavelli, when commenting on this election, says that he who thinks new favours will cause great personages to forget old injuries deceives himself.
마키아벨리는 이 선거에 대해 논평하면서, 새로운 은혜가 위대한 인물들로 하여금 오래된 원한을 잊게 만들 것이라고 생각하는 자는 스스로를 기만하는 것이라고 말한다.
Julius did not rest until he had ruined Cesare.
율리우스는 체사레를 파멸시킬 때까지 멈추지 않았다.
It was to Julius II that Machiavelli was sent in 1506, when that pontiff was commencing his enterprise against Bologna; which he brought to a successful issue, as he did many of his other adventures, owing chiefly to his impetuous character.
1506년에 마키아벨리가 파견된 것은 바로 율리우스 2세에게였는데, 당시 그 교황은 볼로냐에 대한 원정을 시작하고 있었다. 율리우스는 주로 그의 충동적인 성격 덕분에 이 원정을 성공적으로 마무리지었으며, 그의 다른 여러 모험들도 마찬가지였다.
It is in reference to Pope Julius that Machiavelli moralizes on the resemblance between Fortune and women, and concludes that it is the bold rather than the cautious man that will win and hold them both.
교황 율리우스와 관련하여, 마키아벨리는 운명과 여성 사이의 유사성에 대해 교훈을 이끌어내며, 운명과 여성 모두를 쟁취하고 붙잡는 것은 신중한 자가 아니라 대담한 자라는 결론을 내린다.
