English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

Lane's appreciation of this picture, and the wealth of illustration lavished upon it in his Notes, that render his edition the most complete commentary we possess on Muslim life and manners, religion and literature, and make it an indispensable supplement to his famous _Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians_.

레인의 이 그림에 대한 감상과 그의 주석에서 이에 쏟아부은 풍부한 삽화들은 그의 판본을 우리가 보유한 이슬람 생활과 풍습, 종교와 문학에 관한 가장 완전한 주해서로 만들어 주며, 그의 유명한 저작 _현대 이집트인의 풍습과 관습에 관한 기록_의 필수적인 보완 자료가 되게 한다.

The poetry of Eastern life is rapidly fading away under the effacing touch of European civilisation; the characteristic society in which an Haroon-Er-Rasheed, an Aboo-Nuwas, a Káfoor, a Saladin, or a Kaït-Bey, revelled and jested and conquered, is fast becoming matter of history rather than of experience, a field for the antiquary instead of the traveller; and it is well that we can reconstruct it in the pages of the _Thousand and One Nights_, whose compiler saw it when it was still almost in its Golden Prime, and in the _Modern Egyptians_, whose author knew it when it still preserved the romantic character which has charmed and fascinated readers of every age and condition.

동방 생활의 시적 정취는 유럽 문명의 지워내는 손길 아래 빠르게 사라져 가고 있으며, 하룬 에르 라시드, 아부 누와스, 카푸르, 살라딘, 혹은 카이트베이가 흥겹게 즐기고 농담하며 정복하던 그 특유의 사회는 경험의 영역이라기보다 역사의 영역으로, 여행자가 아닌 고고학자의 탐구 대상으로 빠르게 변해 가고 있다. 그 사회가 아직 거의 황금기에 있었을 때 이를 목격한 편찬자의 _천일야화_ 의 지면에서, 그리고 그 낭만적 성격이 아직 보존되어 있을 때 이를 알았던 저자의 _현대 이집트인_ 에서 우리가 그 사회를 재구성할 수 있다는 것은 다행스러운 일이며, 그 낭만적 성격은 모든 시대와 처지의 독자들을 매혹하고 사로잡아 왔다.

THE EDITOR'S PREFACE.

편집자 서문.

A new edition of this work having been required, Mr. Lane was requested to undertake the correction of the press.

이 작품의 새 판본이 필요하게 되어, 레인 씨는 교정 작업을 맡아 달라는 요청을 받았다.

But severe literary labours allowing him no leisure for this object, he named me, as his pupil in the study of Arabic, familiar with his writings, and for many years resident with him in Cairo, to fill, in some measure, his place.

그러나 고된 문필 작업으로 인해 이 일을 위한 여유가 없었기에, 그는 아랍어 연구에서 자신의 제자로서 그의 저작들에 익숙하고 오랜 세월 카이로에서 그와 함께 거주한 나를, 어느 정도 자신의 자리를 채울 사람으로 지명하였다.
