The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 6
There was some compulsory labor in timber-cutting and ship-building, with enforced military service as rowers and soldiers for expeditions to the Moluccas and the coasts of Asia, but nowhere the unspeakable atrocities which in Mexico, Hispaniola, and South America drove mothers to strangle their babes at birth and whole tribes to prefer self-immolation to the living death in the mines and slave-pens.
목재 벌채와 조선업에서의 강제 노동과 말루쿠 제도 및 아시아 해안 원정을 위한 노 젓는 사람과 병사로서의 강제 군역이 있었으나, 멕시코, 히스파니올라, 그리고 남아메리카에서 어머니들로 하여금 갓 태어난 아이를 목 졸라 죽이게 하고 부족 전체가 광산과 노예 우리에서의 살아있는 죽음보다 자기 희생을 택하게 만든 그 이루 말할 수 없는 잔학 행위는 어디에도 없었다.
Quite differently from the case in America, where entire islands and districts were depopulated, to bring on later the curse of negro slavery, in the Philippines the fact appears that the native population really increased and the standard of living was raised under the stern, yet beneficent, tutelage of the missionary fathers.
섬 전체와 지역들이 인구 감소를 겪어 후에 흑인 노예제라는 저주를 불러온 아메리카의 경우와는 전혀 다르게, 필리핀에서는 엄격하지만 자애로운 선교사 신부들의 후견 아래 원주민 인구가 실제로 증가하고 생활 수준이 향상되었다는 사실이 나타난다.
The great distance and the hardships of the journey precluded the coming of many irresponsible adventurers from Spain and, fortunately for the native population, no great mineral wealth was ever discovered in the Philippine Islands.
먼 거리와 여정의 고난으로 인해 스페인에서 무책임한 모험가들이 많이 오는 것이 차단되었고, 원주민들에게 다행스럽게도, 필리핀 제도에서는 대규모 광물 자원이 발견된 적이 없었다.
The system of government was, in its essential features, a simple one.
통치 체제는 그 본질적인 특징에 있어서 단순한 것이었다.
The missionary priests drew the inhabitants of the towns and villages about themselves or formed new settlements, and with profuse use of symbol and symbolism taught the people the Faith, laying particular stress upon "the fear of God," as administered by them, reconciling the people to their subjection by inculcating the Christian virtues of patience and humility.
선교사 사제들은 마을과 촌락의 주민들을 자신들 주위로 모으거나 새로운 정착지를 형성하였으며, 상징과 상징주의를 풍부하게 사용하여 백성들에게 신앙을 가르치고, 그들이 집행하는 "하나님에 대한 두려움"을 특히 강조하면서, 인내와 겸손이라는 기독교적 덕목을 심어줌으로써 백성들이 자신들의 복종을 받아들이도록 화해시켰다.
