The Thousand and One Nights, Vol. I.: Commonly Called the Arabian Nights' Entertainments — Page 9

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

Since the downfall of the Arab Empire of Baghdád, Cairo has been the chief of Arabian cities: its Memlook Sulṭáns, introduced into Egypt in their youth, naturally adopted, to a great degree, the manners of its native inhabitants, which the 'Osmánlee Turks in later days have but little altered.

바그다드 아랍 제국의 몰락 이후로 카이로는 아라비아 도시들 중 으뜸이 되어 왔습니다. 젊은 시절에 이집트에 들어온 맘루크 술탄들은 자연스럽게 그 지역 토착민들의 풍습을 상당 부분 받아들였으며, 오스만리 터키인들은 이후의 시대에도 그것을 거의 변화시키지 않았습니다.

Cairo is the city in which Arabian manners now exist in the most refined state; and such I believe to have been the case when the present work was composed."

카이로는 현재 아라비아의 풍습이 가장 세련된 형태로 존재하는 도시입니다. 그리고 저는 이 작품이 쓰였을 당시에도 그러했을 것이라고 믿습니다."

Mr. Lane's first two visits to Egypt were made when, for the last time, Arab manners and customs as they existed in the age of the Arabian Nights could be studied; and his translation was written very shortly after his second return to England.

레인 씨의 이집트 첫 두 차례 방문은 아라비안 나이트 시대에 존재했던 아랍의 풍습과 관습을 마지막으로 연구할 수 있었던 시기에 이루어졌으며, 그의 번역은 두 번째로 영국에 돌아온 직후에 쓰였습니다.

Though some of the tales may be Indian or Persian in origin, in their present state they exhibit a picture of the manners, modes of thought, and language, of the court and times of the Memlook Sulṭáns of Egypt, which nearly resembled in these points those of the Khaleefehs of Baghdád, or the great Arab Empire.

일부 이야기들은 인도나 페르시아에서 기원했을 수도 있지만, 현재의 형태에서 그것들은 이집트 맘루크 술탄들의 궁정과 시대의 풍습, 사고방식, 그리고 언어의 모습을 보여 주며, 이러한 점에서 바그다드의 칼리프들, 즉 위대한 아랍 제국의 그것과 매우 흡사합니다.

De Sacy and Von Hammer, the two celebrated orientalists who differed widely in opinion as to the origin of the book, agreed that the tales in which the Khaleefeh Hároon Er-Rasheed is introduced (the best, with few exceptions, in the collection) are Egyptian in character.

그 책의 기원에 관해 의견이 크게 달랐던 두 명의 저명한 동양학자인 드 사시와 폰 함머는, 칼리프 하룬 에르-라시드가 등장하는 이야기들(몇 가지 예외를 제외하고 모음집에서 가장 훌륭한 것들)이 이집트적인 성격을 지닌다는 데 동의했습니다.

But since the "Modern Egyptians" were described by Mr.

그러나 "근대 이집트인들"이 레인 씨에 의해 묘사된 이후로
