The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 15

English → Korean Preface Level 6/10

The country and the people, too, are described with the charming simplicity of the eyes that see clearly, the brain that ponders deeply, and the heart that beats sympathetically.

그 나라와 사람들 역시, 명확하게 보는 눈의 매력적인 단순함과, 깊이 사색하는 두뇌, 그리고 공감하며 뛰는 가슴으로 묘사되어 있다.

Through all the pages of his account runs the quiet strain of peace and contentment, of satisfaction with the existing order, for he had looked upon the creation and saw that it was good.

그의 기록의 모든 페이지에는 평화와 만족의 고요한 기조가 흐르고 있으며, 현존하는 질서에 대한 흡족함이 담겨 있으니, 이는 그가 창조물을 바라보고 그것이 선하다는 것을 보았기 때문이다.

There is "neither haste, nor hate, nor anger," but the deliberate recital of the facts warmed and illumined by the geniality of a soul to whom age and experience had brought, not a sour cynicism, but the mellowing influence of a ripened philosophy.

거기에는 "서두름도, 증오도, 분노도" 없으며, 나이와 경험이 신랄한 냉소가 아닌 원숙한 철학의 부드러운 영향을 가져다 준 영혼의 온화함으로 따뜻하게 밝혀진 사실들의 차분한 서술이 있을 뿐이다.

He was such an old man as may fondly be imagined walking through the streets of Paranaque in stately benignity amid the fear and respect of the brown people over whom he watched.

그는 자신이 돌보던 갈색 피부 사람들의 두려움과 경외 속에서 파라냐케의 거리를 위엄 있는 자애로움으로 걷는 모습이 정겹게 상상되는 그런 노인이었다.

But in all his chronicle there is no suggestion of anything more to hope for, anything beyond.

그러나 그의 연대기 전체에는 더 바랄 것이 있다거나, 그 너머의 무언가가 있다는 암시가 전혀 없다.

Beautiful as the picture is, it is that of a system which had reached maturity: a condition of stagnation, not of growth.

그 그림이 아름답기는 하지만, 그것은 성숙에 도달한 체제의 모습, 즉 성장이 아닌 정체의 상태를 보여준다.

In less than a decade, the terrific convulsions in European politics made themselves felt even in the remote Philippines, and then began the gradual drawing away of the people from their rulers--blind gropings and erratic wanderings at first, but nevertheless persistent and vigorous tendencies.

채 10년도 지나지 않아, 유럽 정치의 격렬한 격변이 멀리 떨어진 필리핀에서도 느껴지기 시작했으며, 그때부터 사람들이 그들의 지배자들로부터 점차 멀어지기 시작했다--처음에는 맹목적인 더듬거림과 불규칙한 방황이었지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 끈질기고 강렬한 경향이었다.
