The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 13

English → Korean Preface Level 6/10

In the countries more in contact with the trend of civilization and more susceptible to revolutionary influences from the mother country this separation came from within, while in the remoter parts the archaic and outgrown system dragged along until a stronger force from without destroyed it.

문명의 흐름과 더 긴밀히 접촉하고 본국의 혁명적 영향에 더 민감한 나라들에서는 이 분리가 내부로부터 일어났으나, 더 외진 지역에서는 시대에 뒤떨어진 낡은 체제가 외부의 더 강한 힘이 그것을 파괴할 때까지 질질 끌려갔다.

Nowhere was the crystallization of form and principle more pronounced than in religious life, which fastened upon the mother country a deadening weight that hampered all progress, and in the colonies, notably in the Philippines, virtually converted her government into a hagiarchy that had its face toward the past and either could not or would not move with the current of the times.

형식과 원칙의 결정화가 종교적 삶에서보다 더 두드러진 곳은 없었으니, 종교는 본국에 모든 진보를 가로막는 마비적인 무게를 덧씌웠고, 식민지에서, 특히 필리핀에서는 사실상 그 정부를 과거를 향해 얼굴을 돌린 채 시대의 흐름에 따라 움직일 수 없거나 움직이려 하지 않는 성인 지배 체제로 변질시켰다.

So, when "the shot heard round the world," the declaration of humanity's right to be and to become, in its all-encircling sweep, reached the lands controlled by her it was coldly received and blindly rejected by the governing powers, and there was left only the slower, subtler, but none the less sure, process of working its way among the people to burst in time in rebellion and the destruction of the conservative forces that would repress it.

그리하여 "세계 전역에 울려 퍼진 그 총성", 즉 존재하고 성장할 인류의 권리에 대한 선언이 그 모든 것을 아우르는 물결 속에 스페인이 지배하는 땅에 도달했을 때, 그것은 지배 권력에 의해 냉담하게 받아들여지고 맹목적으로 거부되었으며, 남은 것은 오직 더디고 은밀하지만 그럼에도 확실한, 민중 사이로 스며들어 마침내 반란으로 폭발하고 그것을 억압하려는 보수적 세력을 파괴하는 과정뿐이었다.

In the opening years of the nineteenth century the friar orders in the Philippines had reached the apogee of their power and usefulness.

19세기 초반, 필리핀의 수도회들은 그들의 권력과 유용성의 정점에 달해 있었다.

Their influence was everywhere felt and acknowledged, while the country still prospered under the effects of the vigorous and progressive administrations of Anda and Vargas in the preceding century.

그들의 영향력은 어디서나 느껴지고 인정받았으며, 그 나라는 전 세기의 안다와 바르가스의 활력 있고 진보적인 통치의 효과 아래 여전히 번영을 누리고 있었다.
