The Thousand and One Nights, Vol. I.: Commonly Called the Arabian Nights' Entertainments — Page 11

English → Korean Preface Level 7/10

The manuscript from which it was printed was carefully collated and corrected by a very learned man, the sheykh 'Abd-Er-Raḥmán Eṣ-Ṣaftee Esh-Sharḳáwee, who also superintended the progress of the work through the press.

그것이 인쇄된 원본 필사본은 매우 박식한 인물인 셰이크 압드 에르 라흐만 에스 사프티 에시 샤르카위에 의해 꼼꼼히 대조되고 교정되었으며, 그는 또한 출판 과정을 감독하였다.

But in addition to the value conferred upon it by the corrections of this sheykh, the copy from which the whole of my translation is made, except in a few instances, possesses an advantage which, I believe, renders it incomparably superior to any other now existing:

그러나 이 셰이크의 교정으로 부여된 가치 외에도, 몇 가지 경우를 제외하고 내 번역 전체의 저본이 된 사본은, 내가 생각하기에 현존하는 다른 어떤 것과도 비교할 수 없을 만큼 우월하게 만드는 장점을 지니고 있다.

it has been again revised and corrected, and illustrated with numerous manuscript notes, by a person whom I think I may safely pronounce the first philologist of the first Arab college of the present day, the sheykh Moḥammad 'Eiyád Eṭ-Ṭanṭáwee, or, more properly, Eṭ-Ṭanditáee.

그것은 내가 감히 현재 최고의 아랍 학교의 제일가는 언어학자라 칭할 수 있는 인물, 즉 셰이크 모하마드 에이야드 에트 탄타위, 혹은 보다 정확히는 에트 탄디타이에 의해 다시 수정·교정되고 수많은 필사 주석으로 보완되었다.

His notes are chiefly philological, and explanatory of words which do not belong to the classical language; and many of them are of very great assistance to me; though most of them I find unnecessary, from the knowledge of the modern Arabic which I have acquired during my intercourse with the people who speak it.

그의 주석은 주로 언어학적인 것으로, 고전어에 속하지 않는 단어들을 설명하는 것이며, 그 중 많은 것이 나에게 매우 큰 도움이 된다. 다만 대부분은 내가 아랍어를 사용하는 사람들과의 교류를 통해 습득한 현대 아랍어 지식 덕분에 불필요하다고 느낀다.

His corrections of the text are numerous; and as they would interest very few persons, I have mentioned but few of them in the notes to my translation, notwithstanding a strong temptation that I felt to do otherwise in order that Arabic scholars might be assisted to judge of the fidelity of my version by comparing it with the text of the Cairo edition.

그의 본문 교정은 수가 많으나, 이것이 극히 소수의 사람에게만 흥미로울 것이기에, 나는 내 번역의 주석에서 그 중 극히 일부만 언급하였다. 비록 아랍어 학자들이 카이로판 본문과 비교하여 내 번역의 충실성을 판단하는 데 도움을 주고자 달리 행동하고픈 강한 유혹을 느꼈음에도 불구하고.
