English → Korean Preface Level 6/10

The attempt to eliminate the eternal feminine from her natural and normal sphere in the scheme of things there met with the same certain and signal disaster that awaits every perversion of human activity.

사물의 체계 속에서 영원한 여성성을 그 자연스럽고 정상적인 영역으로부터 제거하려는 시도는, 인간 활동의 모든 왜곡을 기다리는 것과 동일한 확실하고 현저한 재앙을 맞이하였다.

Beginning with a band of zealous, earnest men, sincere in their convictions, to whom the cause was all and their personalities nothing, it there, as elsewhere, passed through its usual cycle of usefulness, stagnation, corruption, and degeneration.

신념에 진실하고 대의가 전부이며 개인은 아무것도 아닌, 열정적이고 진지한 무리로 시작하여, 그것은 그곳에서도 다른 곳과 마찬가지로 유용함, 침체, 부패, 그리고 타락이라는 통상적인 순환을 거쳤다.

To the unselfish and heroic efforts of the early friars Spain in large measure owed her dominion over the Philippine Islands and the Filipinos a marked advance on the road to civilization and nationality.

초기 수사들의 사심 없고 영웅적인 노력 덕분에 스페인은 필리핀 제도에 대한 지배권을 크게 누릴 수 있었으며, 필리핀인들은 문명과 국민성의 길에서 현저한 발전을 이루었다.

In fact, after the dreams of sudden wealth from gold and spices had faded, the islands were retained chiefly as a missionary conquest and a stepping-stone to the broader fields of Asia, with Manila as a depot for the Oriental trade.

실제로 금과 향신료로 인한 갑작스러운 부의 꿈이 사라진 후, 제도는 주로 선교적 정복지이자 아시아의 더 넓은 분야로 나아가는 발판으로서 유지되었으며, 마닐라는 동방 무역의 집산지 역할을 하였다.

The records of those early years are filled with tales of courage and heroism worthy of Spain's proudest years, as the missionary fathers labored with unflagging zeal in disinterested endeavor for the spread of the Faith and the betterment of the condition of the Malays among whom they found themselves.

그 초기 시절의 기록은 스페인의 가장 자랑스러운 시대에 걸맞은 용기와 영웅담으로 가득 차 있는데, 선교사 신부들은 자신들이 몸담게 된 말레이인들 사이에서 신앙의 전파와 그들의 생활 향상을 위해 사심 없는 노력으로 지칠 줄 모르는 열정을 다해 헌신하였다.

They won the confidence of the native peoples, gathered them into settlements and villages, led them into the ways of peace, and became their protectors, guides, and counselors.

그들은 원주민들의 신뢰를 얻고, 그들을 취락과 마을로 모아들이며, 평화의 길로 이끌었고, 그들의 보호자이자 안내자, 그리고 조언자가 되었다.

In those times the cross and the sword went hand in hand, but in the Philippines the latter was rarely needed or used.

그 시절에는 십자가와 검이 함께 나아갔으나, 필리핀에서는 후자가 거의 필요하지 않았고 사용되지도 않았다.
