The Scarlet Letter — Page 12
And yet, though invariably happiest elsewhere, there is within me a feeling for old Salem, which, in lack of a better phrase, I must be content to call affection.
그러나 다른 곳에서 항상 더 행복하다고 느끼면서도, 내 안에는 오래된 세일럼에 대한 감정이 있으니, 더 나은 표현이 없어 그것을 애정이라고 부르는 것으로 만족해야 할 것 같다.
The sentiment is probably assignable to the deep and aged roots which my family has struck into the soil.
그 감정은 아마도 나의 가족이 이 땅에 깊이 내린 오래된 뿌리에서 비롯된 것일 테다.
It is now nearly two centuries and a quarter since the original Briton, the earliest emigrant of my name, made his appearance in the wild and forest-bordered settlement, which has since become a city.
나의 이름을 가진 최초의 이민자, 그 영국인이 야생의 숲으로 둘러싸인 정착지에 처음 모습을 드러낸 지 이제 거의 이백이십오 년이 지났으며, 그 정착지는 이후 도시가 되었다.
And here his descendants have been born and died, and have mingled their earthy substance with the soil; until no small portion of it must necessarily be akin to the mortal frame wherewith, for a little while, I walk the streets.
그리고 이곳에서 그의 후손들이 태어나고 죽었으며, 그들의 육신을 이 흙과 섞어왔으니, 이 땅의 적지 않은 부분이 필연적으로 내가 잠시 동안 거리를 걷는 이 필멸의 육체와 유사할 수밖에 없다.
In part, therefore, the attachment which I speak of is the mere sensuous sympathy of dust for dust.
따라서 내가 말하는 이 애착은 부분적으로는 단순히 먼지가 먼지에 느끼는 감각적인 공감에 불과하다.
Few of my countrymen can know what it is; nor, as frequent transplantation is perhaps better for the stock, need they consider it desirable to know.
나의 동포들 중 이것이 무엇인지 아는 이는 거의 없으며, 잦은 이식이 혈통에 더 나을 수도 있으니 그들이 굳이 알고자 할 필요도 없다.
But the sentiment has likewise its moral quality.
그러나 이 감정에는 또한 도덕적인 측면도 있다.
The figure of that first ancestor, invested by family tradition with a dim and dusky grandeur, was present to my boyish imagination, as far back as I can remember.
가족의 전통 속에서 희미하고 어두운 위엄으로 둘러싸인 그 첫 번째 조상의 모습은, 내가 기억할 수 있는 아주 어린 시절부터 나의 소년다운 상상 속에 존재했다.
It still haunts me, and induces a sort of home-feeling with the past, which I scarcely claim in reference to the present phase of the town.
그것은 여전히 나를 떠나지 않으며, 과거와의 일종의 고향 같은 감정을 불러일으키는데, 이는 내가 현재의 이 도시에 대해서는 거의 느끼지 못하는 감정이다.
