The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 3

English → Korean Preface Level 6/10

The lightness and vivacity of the Spanish character, with its strain of Orientalism, its fertility of resource in meeting new conditions, its adaptability in dealing with the dwellers in warmer lands, all played their part in this as in the other conquests.

스페인 민족성의 경쾌함과 활기, 동양적 기질, 새로운 환경에 적응하는 풍부한 자원력, 더 따뜻한 땅의 주민들을 다루는 적응력, 이 모든 것이 다른 정복에서와 마찬가지로 이 경우에도 중요한 역할을 하였다.

Only on occasions when some stubborn resistance was met with, as in Manila and the surrounding country, where the most advanced of the native peoples dwelt and where some of the forms and beliefs of Islam had been established, was it necessary to resort to violence to destroy the native leaders and replace them with the missionary fathers.

마닐라와 그 주변 지역처럼 가장 발전한 원주민들이 거주하고 이슬람의 일부 형식과 신념이 자리 잡은 곳에서와 같이 완강한 저항에 부딪혔을 때에만, 원주민 지도자들을 제거하고 그 자리를 선교사 신부들로 대체하기 위해 폭력에 의존할 필요가 있었다.

A few sallies by young Salcedo, the Cortez of the Philippine conquest, with a company of the splendid infantry, which was at that time the admiration and despair of martial Europe, soon effectively exorcised any idea of resistance that even the boldest and most intransigent of the native leaders might have entertained.

필리핀 정복의 코르테스라 불리는 젊은 살세도가 당시 전투적인 유럽의 경탄과 절망의 대상이었던 뛰어난 보병 부대를 이끌고 몇 차례 출격한 것만으로도, 가장 대담하고 완고한 원주민 지도자들조차 품었을지 모를 저항의 의지를 곧 효과적으로 제압하였다.

For the most part, no great persuasion was needed to turn a simple, imaginative, fatalistic people from a few vague animistic deities to the systematic iconology and the elaborate ritual of the Spanish Church.

대체로, 단순하고 상상력이 풍부하며 운명론적인 민족을 몇몇 모호한 정령 숭배의 신들로부터 스페인 교회의 체계적인 성상 체계와 정교한 의식으로 돌아서게 하는 데 큰 설득이 필요하지 않았다.

An obscure _Bathala_ or a dim _Malyari_ was easily superseded by or transformed into a clearly defined _Dios_, and in the case of any especially tenacious "demon," he could without much difficulty be merged into a Christian saint or devil.

모호한 _바탈라_ 혹은 희미한 _말리아리_는 명확히 정의된 _디오스_로 쉽게 대체되거나 변환되었고, 특히 집요한 '악령'의 경우에는 별다른 어려움 없이 기독교의 성인이나 악마로 흡수될 수 있었다.
