Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 5
He assumes that Christianity, as a product of the resentment of the botched and the weak, has put in ban all that is beautiful, strong, proud, and powerful, in fact all the qualities resulting from strength, and that, in consequence, all forces which tend to promote or elevate life have been seriously undermined.
그는 기독교가 실패한 자들과 약한 자들의 원한의 산물로서, 아름답고 강하며 자랑스럽고 강력한 모든 것, 즉 실제로 힘에서 비롯된 모든 자질을 금지시켰으며, 그 결과 삶을 증진하거나 고양하려는 모든 힘이 심각하게 훼손되었다고 가정한다.
Now, however, a new table of valuations must be placed over mankind—namely, that of the strong, mighty, and magnificent man, overflowing with life and elevated to his zenith—the Superman, who is now put before us with overpowering passion as the aim of our life, hope, and will.
그러나 이제 인류 위에 새로운 가치 체계가 세워져야 한다—즉, 삶이 넘쳐흐르고 그 정점에 오른 강하고 힘세며 장엄한 인간, 다시 말해 초인의 가치 체계가—이 초인은 이제 우리의 삶과 희망과 의지의 목표로서 압도적인 열정을 가지고 우리 앞에 제시된다.
And just as the old system of valuing, which only extolled the qualities favourable to the weak, the suffering, and the oppressed, has succeeded in producing a weak, suffering, and "modern" race, so this new and reversed system of valuing ought to rear a healthy, strong, lively, and courageous type, which would be a glory to life itself.
그리고 약한 자들과 고통받는 자들과 억압받는 자들에게 유리한 자질만을 찬양했던 구시대의 가치 체계가 약하고 고통받는 "현대적인" 종족을 만들어내는 데 성공했던 것처럼, 이 새롭고 전도된 가치 체계는 삶 그 자체의 영광이 될 건강하고 강하며 활기차고 용감한 유형을 길러내야 한다.
Stated briefly, the leading principle of this new system of valuing would be: "All that proceeds from power is good, all that springs from weakness is bad."
간략히 말하자면, 이 새로운 가치 체계의 주도적 원칙은 다음과 같을 것이다: "힘에서 나오는 모든 것은 선하고, 약함에서 솟아나는 모든 것은 악하다."
This type must not be regarded as a fanciful figure: it is not a nebulous hope which is to be realised at some indefinitely remote period, thousands of years hence; nor is it a new species (in the Darwinian sense) of which we can know nothing, and which it would therefore be somewhat absurd to strive after.
이 유형은 공상적인 인물로 여겨져서는 안 된다: 그것은 수천 년 후의 막연히 먼 시기에 실현될 희미한 희망이 아니며, 우리가 아무것도 알 수 없고 따라서 추구하는 것이 다소 터무니없을 (다윈적 의미에서의) 새로운 종도 아니다.
