English → Korean Full Text Level 8/10

Here at last seemed to have been discovered the mountain path to Canaan; longer than the highway of Emancipation and law, steep and rugged, but straight, leading to heights high enough to overlook life.

여기서 마침내 가나안으로 향하는 산길이 발견된 것처럼 보였다. 해방과 법이라는 대로보다 더 길고, 가파르고 험하지만, 곧게 뻗어 삶을 내려다볼 수 있을 만큼 높은 곳으로 이어지는 길이었다.

Up the new path the advance guard toiled, slowly, heavily, doggedly; only those who have watched and guided the faltering feet, the misty minds, the dull understandings, of the dark pupils of these schools know how faithfully, how piteously, this people strove to learn.

선발대는 새로운 길을 따라 천천히, 무겁게, 완강하게 나아갔다. 이 학교들의 어두운 학생들이 비틀거리는 발걸음과 흐릿한 정신, 둔한 이해력을 지켜보고 이끌어온 사람들만이, 이 민족이 얼마나 충실하게, 얼마나 애처롭게 배움을 위해 분투했는지를 안다.

It was weary work.

그것은 고된 일이었다.

The cold statistician wrote down the inches of progress here and there, noted also where here and there a foot had slipped or some one had fallen.

냉정한 통계학자는 여기저기서 이루어진 진보의 치수를 기록하고, 또한 여기저기서 발이 미끄러지거나 누군가가 쓰러진 곳도 기록했다.

To the tired climbers, the horizon was ever dark, the mists were often cold, the Canaan was always dim and far away.

지친 등반자들에게 지평선은 언제나 어두웠고, 안개는 종종 차가웠으며, 가나안은 항상 희미하고 멀리 있었다.

If, however, the vistas disclosed as yet no goal, no resting-place, little but flattery and criticism, the journey at least gave leisure for reflection and self-examination; it changed the child of Emancipation to the youth with dawning self-consciousness, self-realization, self-respect.

그러나 만약 펼쳐지는 전망이 아직 아무런 목표도, 휴식처도 드러내지 못하고 아첨과 비판만을 보여줄지라도, 그 여정은 적어도 성찰과 자기 검토를 위한 여유를 주었다. 그것은 해방의 아이를 자의식과 자아실현, 자존감이 싹트는 청년으로 변화시켰다.

In those sombre forests of his striving his own soul rose before him, and he saw himself,—darkly as through a veil; and yet he saw in himself some faint revelation of his power, of his mission.

그가 분투하는 어두운 숲 속에서 그의 영혼이 그의 앞에 떠올랐고, 그는 자신을 보았다. 마치 베일을 통해 보듯 어렴풋이. 그러나 그는 자신 안에서 자신의 힘과 사명에 대한 희미한 계시를 보았다.

He began to have a dim feeling that, to attain his place in the world, he must be himself, and not another.

그는 세상에서 자신의 자리를 얻기 위해서는 다른 누군가가 아닌 자기 자신이 되어야 한다는 희미한 느낌을 갖기 시작했다.
