The Thousand and One Nights, Vol. I.: Commonly Called the Arabian Nights' Entertainments — Page 5

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

I have undertaken this duty with great diffidence, from a sense of my own deficiencies and his extensive knowledge; but I have felt that I could at least insure the correctness of the text, and a scrupulous adherence to his wishes.

저는 저 자신의 부족함과 그분의 방대한 지식에 대한 인식으로 인해 매우 조심스러운 마음으로 이 임무를 맡았습니다. 그러나 저는 적어도 본문의 정확성과 그분의 뜻에 대한 엄밀한 준수만큼은 보장할 수 있다고 느꼈습니다.

The present edition is printed, without any variations of my own (except those which are marked as such, and have been submitted to Mr. Lane), from a copy of the first and complete edition, with corrections and additions made by Mr. Lane, from time to time, since its first publication.

이번 판은 레인 씨에게 제출되어 그렇게 표시된 것들을 제외하고는 제 자신의 어떠한 변경도 없이, 초판의 완전한 사본을 바탕으로, 레인 씨가 초판 출판 이후 때때로 가한 수정 및 추가 사항을 반영하여 인쇄되었습니다.

These, however, from the accuracy with which the translation was made, and the fulness of the Notes, are not very numerous.

그러나 이러한 수정 및 추가 사항은 번역의 정확성과 주석의 충실함으로 인해 그다지 많지 않습니다.

The same reasons have also caused my own notes to be few: I believe that my Uncle's notes are complete in themselves; and that I have sometimes erred, even in the rare exceptions I have made, on the side of unnecessary addition.

같은 이유로 제 자신의 주석도 적을 수밖에 없었습니다. 저는 삼촌의 주석이 그 자체로 완결되어 있다고 믿으며, 제가 드물게 예외를 둔 경우에도 때로는 불필요한 추가의 측면에서 실수를 범했다고 생각합니다.

An edition of any book not superintended by the author is sometimes regarded with distrust.

저자가 감수하지 않은 어떤 책의 판본은 때때로 불신을 받기도 합니다.

I would therefore assure the reader that in this instance he may depend even on the punctuation; the whole having been laboriously collated with Mr. Lane's annotated copy, notwithstanding the great delay which this process has occasioned in the printing of the work.

따라서 저는 독자 여러분께, 이 경우에는 구두점까지도 믿으셔도 된다고 확언드리고 싶습니다. 이 작업이 책의 인쇄에 큰 지연을 초래했음에도 불구하고, 전체 내용이 레인 씨의 주석본과 꼼꼼하게 대조되었기 때문입니다.

I have called this a complete edition, to distinguish it from two others which have been published without Mr. Lane's notes or his method of writing oriental words, and with other variations from the standard edition.

저는 이것을 완전판이라고 불렀는데, 이는 레인 씨의 주석이나 동양어 표기 방식 없이 출판되었으며 표준판과 다른 변형들을 담고 있는 두 개의 다른 판본들과 구별하기 위해서입니다.
