The Thousand and One Nights, Vol. I.: Commonly Called the Arabian Nights' Entertainments — Page 2

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

Several reprints of that edition have testified to the continued popularity of the work, and the necessity for the present issue shows that an acquaintance of nearly half a century has not yet wearied the public of the standard translation of the _Thousand and One Nights_.

그 판본의 여러 차례 재판은 이 작품의 지속적인 인기를 입증해 왔으며, 현재 판본의 필요성은 거의 반세기에 걸친 친숙함이 아직까지도 『천일야화』의 표준 번역본에 대한 대중의 흥미를 식히지 못했음을 보여준다.

The secret of Mr. Lane's success is to be found partly in the instinctive sympathy for the spirit of the East, which enabled him faithfully to reproduce the characteristic tone of the original, and partly in the rich store of illustrations of oriental life and thought contained in his Notes.

레인 씨의 성공 비결은 부분적으로는 동양의 정신에 대한 본능적인 공감에서 찾을 수 있는데, 이는 그가 원작의 특징적인 분위기를 충실하게 재현할 수 있게 해 주었으며, 또 부분적으로는 그의 주석에 담긴 동양의 삶과 사상에 관한 풍부한 예시들에서 찾을 수 있다.

In the various cheap versions, based upon Galland's French paraphrase, the Eastern tone and local colour is wholly wanting; and the peculiarities of life and manners, which contrast so markedly with those of the West, are left unnoted and unexplained.

갈랑의 프랑스어 의역을 바탕으로 한 여러 저렴한 판본들에서는 동양적인 분위기와 지역적 색채가 전혀 없으며, 서양의 것과 뚜렷하게 대조되는 삶과 풍습의 특수성들이 언급되지도, 설명되지도 않은 채로 남겨져 있다.

Such versions may serve in an inadequate degree to make the Arabian Nights known to those who care only for the bare stories; but educated readers, who are capable of something more than the mere enjoyment of the romance, and desire to understand the character and habits of the actors and the spectators, find in Mr. Lane's translation, and in his only, a complete satisfaction of their want.

그러한 판본들은 단순한 이야기에만 관심을 가진 사람들에게 『아라비안 나이트』를 알리는 데 불충분한 정도로나마 도움이 될 수 있다. 그러나 단순한 낭만적 즐거움 이상의 것을 누릴 수 있으며, 등장인물들과 구경꾼들의 성격과 습관을 이해하고자 하는 교양 있는 독자들은 레인 씨의 번역본에서, 오직 그의 번역본에서만, 자신들의 욕구가 완전히 충족됨을 발견한다.
