The Souls of Black Folk — Page 14
Away with the black man's ballot, by force or fraud,—and behold the suicide of a race!
흑인의 투표권을 폭력이나 사기로 빼앗아 버리라,—그리하면 한 민족의 자살을 목격하게 되리라!
Nevertheless, out of the evil came something of good,—the more careful adjustment of education to real life, the clearer perception of the Negroes' social responsibilities, and the sobering realization of the meaning of progress.
그럼에도 불구하고, 그 악으로부터 어떤 선이 나왔으니,—교육을 실제 삶에 보다 신중하게 조율하는 것, 흑인들의 사회적 책임에 대한 보다 명확한 인식, 그리고 진보의 의미에 대한 냉철한 자각이 그것이다.
So dawned the time of _Sturm und Drang:_ storm and stress to-day rocks our little boat on the mad waters of the world-sea; there is within and without the sound of conflict, the burning of body and rending of soul; inspiration strives with doubt, and faith with vain questionings.
그리하여 _슈투름 운트 드랑_ 의 시대가 밝아왔으니: 오늘날의 폭풍과 격랑은 세계라는 바다의 거친 물결 위에서 우리의 작은 배를 흔들고 있다; 안팎으로 갈등의 소리가 가득하고, 육신은 불타오르며 영혼은 찢기고 있다; 영감은 의심과 싸우고, 신앙은 헛된 물음들과 씨름한다.
The bright ideals of the past,—physical freedom, political power, the training of brains and the training of hands,—all these in turn have waxed and waned, until even the last grows dim and overcast.
과거의 빛나는 이상들,—신체적 자유, 정치적 권력, 두뇌의 훈련과 손의 훈련,—이 모든 것들은 차례로 성장하고 쇠퇴하여, 마침내 마지막 것조차 희미해지고 어두워졌다.
Are they all wrong,—all false?
그것들이 모두 잘못된 것인가,—모두 거짓인가?
No, not that, but each alone was over-simple and incomplete,—the dreams of a credulous race-childhood, or the fond imaginings of the other world which does not know and does not want to know our power.
아니, 그런 것이 아니라, 각각은 홀로서는 지나치게 단순하고 불완전했던 것이니,—쉽게 믿는 민족의 유년기가 꾸는 꿈들이거나, 우리의 힘을 알지도 못하고 알고자 하지도 않는 다른 세계의 허황된 상상에 불과했던 것이다.
To be really true, all these ideals must be melted and welded into one.
참으로 진실하기 위해서는, 이 모든 이상들이 녹아 하나로 합쳐져야 한다.
The training of the schools we need to-day more than ever,—the training of deft hands, quick eyes and ears, and above all the broader, deeper, higher culture of gifted minds and pure hearts.
우리는 오늘날 그 어느 때보다 학교의 교육이 필요하니,—능숙한 손의 훈련, 민첩한 눈과 귀의 훈련, 그리고 무엇보다도 재능 있는 정신과 순수한 마음을 위한 더 넓고, 더 깊고, 더 높은 교양이 그것이다.
The power of the ballot we need in sheer self-defence,—else what shall save us from a second slavery?
우리는 순전히 자기 방어를 위해 투표권의 힘이 필요하니,—그렇지 않다면 무엇이 우리를 또 다른 노예제로부터 구할 수 있겠는가?
