The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 14
Native levies had fought loyally under Spanish leadership against Dutch and British invaders, or in suppressing local revolts among their own people, which were always due to some specific grievance, never directed definitely against the Spanish sovereignty.
원주민 징집병들은 스페인 지도부 아래에서 네덜란드와 영국 침략자들에 맞서 충성스럽게 싸웠으며, 또는 자국민들 사이의 지역 반란을 진압하는 데 참여했는데, 그 반란들은 항상 특정한 불만에서 비롯된 것으로, 스페인 주권에 명확히 반기를 든 것은 결코 아니었다.
The Philippines were shut off from contact with any country but Spain, and even this communication was restricted and carefully guarded.
필리핀은 스페인을 제외한 어떤 나라와도 접촉이 차단되어 있었으며, 심지어 스페인과의 교류조차도 제한되고 철저히 통제되었다.
There was an elaborate central government which, however, hardly touched the life of the native peoples, who were guided and governed by the parish priests, each town being in a way an independent entity.
정교한 중앙 정부가 존재했지만, 그것은 원주민들의 삶에 거의 영향을 미치지 못했으며, 원주민들은 교구 신부들에 의해 이끌리고 다스려졌고, 각 마을은 어떤 의미에서 독립적인 개체였다.
Of this halcyon period, just before the process of disintegration began, there has fortunately been left a record which may be characterized as the most notable Spanish literary production relating to the Philippines, being the calm, sympathetic, judicial account of one who had spent his manhood in the work there and who, full of years and experience, sat down to tell the story of their life.
분열의 과정이 시작되기 바로 직전, 이 평화로운 시기에 관해, 다행히도 하나의 기록이 남겨졌는데, 이것은 필리핀과 관련된 가장 주목할 만한 스페인 문학 작품으로 특징지어질 수 있으며, 그곳에서의 일에 장년을 바친 후 풍부한 세월과 경험을 갖추고 앉아 그들의 삶의 이야기를 들려준 한 사람의 차분하고 공감 어리며 공정한 기록이다.
In it there are no puerile whinings, no querulous curses that tropical Malays do not order their lives as did the people of the Spanish village where he may have been reared, no selfish laments of ingratitude over blessings unasked and only imperfectly understood by the natives, no fatuous self-deception as to the real conditions, but a patient consideration of the difficulties encountered, the good accomplished, and the unavoidable evils incident to any human work.
그 안에는 유치한 불평도 없고, 열대 말레이인들이 그가 자랐을 스페인 마을 사람들처럼 삶을 꾸리지 않는다는 투덜거리는 저주도 없으며, 원주민들이 원하지도 않았고 불완전하게만 이해했던 혜택에 대한 이기적인 배은망덕의 한탄도 없고, 실제 상황에 대한 어리석은 자기기만도 없으며, 다만 마주친 어려움들, 이루어낸 선한 것들, 그리고 모든 인간적 작업에 수반되는 불가피한 해악들에 대한 인내로운 고찰이 있을 뿐이다.
