The Prince — Page 8

English → Korean Preface Level 8/10

It is impossible to follow here the varying fortunes of the Italian states, which in 1507 were controlled by France, Spain, and Germany, with results that have lasted to our day; we are concerned with those events, and with the three great actors in them, so far only as they impinge on the personality of Machiavelli.

1507년에 프랑스, 스페인, 독일에 의해 지배되었으며 그 결과가 오늘날까지 이어진 이탈리아 여러 국가들의 변화무쌍한 운명을 여기서 따라가는 것은 불가능하다. 우리는 그 사건들과 그 안의 세 위대한 주역들에 대해, 오직 그것들이 마키아벨리의 인격과 맞닿는 범위 안에서만 관심을 가진다.

He had several meetings with Louis XII of France, and his estimate of that monarch's character has already been alluded to.

그는 프랑스의 루이 12세와 여러 차례 만남을 가졌으며, 그 군주의 성격에 대한 그의 평가는 이미 앞서 언급된 바 있다.

Machiavelli has painted Ferdinand of Aragon as the man who accomplished great things under the cloak of religion, but who in reality had no mercy, faith, humanity, or integrity; and who, had he allowed himself to be influenced by such motives, would have been ruined.

마키아벨리는 아라곤의 페르디난드를 종교라는 외투 아래 위대한 일들을 성취한 인물로 묘사했지만, 실제로는 자비도, 신의도, 인간애도, 성실함도 없는 사람으로 그렸다. 그리고 만약 그가 그러한 동기들에 영향을 받도록 내버려 두었다면 파멸했을 것이라고 했다.

The Emperor Maximilian was one of the most interesting men of the age, and his character has been drawn by many hands; but Machiavelli, who was an envoy at his court in 1507-8, reveals the secret of his many failures when he describes him as a secretive man, without force of character—ignoring the human agencies necessary to carry his schemes into effect, and never insisting on the fulfilment of his wishes.

황제 막시밀리안은 그 시대에 가장 흥미로운 인물 중 하나였으며, 그의 성격은 많은 사람들에 의해 묘사된 바 있다. 그러나 1507~8년에 그의 궁정에 사절로 파견되었던 마키아벨리는, 그를 비밀스러운 인물로, 성격의 강인함이 없으며 자신의 계획을 실행에 옮기는 데 필요한 인적 수단을 무시하고 자신의 뜻이 이루어지도록 결코 주장하지 않는 사람으로 묘사함으로써 그의 수많은 실패의 비밀을 드러낸다.

The remaining years of Machiavelli's official career were filled with events arising out of the League of Cambrai, made in 1508 between the three great European powers already mentioned and the pope, with the object of crushing the Venetian Republic.

마키아벨리의 공직 생활 남은 기간은 캉브레 동맹에서 비롯된 사건들로 가득 찼는데, 이 동맹은 1508년에 앞서 언급한 세 유럽 강대국과 교황 사이에 베네치아 공화국을 무너뜨릴 목적으로 맺어졌다.
