Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 12

English → Korean Preface Level 9/10

His friends caused him many disappointments, which were the more bitter to him, inasmuch as he regarded friendship as such a sacred institution; and for the first time in his life he realised the whole horror of that loneliness to which, perhaps, all greatness is condemned.

그의 친구들은 그에게 많은 실망을 안겨 주었는데, 그가 우정을 그토록 신성한 제도로 여겼기 때문에 그 실망은 더욱 쓰라렸다. 그리고 그는 생애 처음으로, 아마도 모든 위대함이 선고받는 그 고독의 끔찍한 전모를 깨달았다.

But to be forsaken is something very different from deliberately choosing blessed loneliness.

하지만 버림받는 것은 축복받은 고독을 의도적으로 선택하는 것과는 전혀 다른 일이다.

How he longed, in those days, for the ideal friend who would thoroughly understand him, to whom he would be able to say all, and whom he imagined he had found at various periods in his life from his earliest youth onwards.

그 시절 그는 자신을 완전히 이해해 줄 이상적인 친구를, 모든 것을 털어놓을 수 있는 친구를, 그리고 가장 이른 청춘 시절부터 삶의 여러 시기에 걸쳐 찾았다고 여겼던 친구를 얼마나 갈망했던가.

Now, however, that the way he had chosen grew ever more perilous and steep, he found nobody who could follow him: he therefore created a perfect friend for himself in the ideal form of a majestic philosopher, and made this creation the preacher of his gospel to the world.

그러나 이제 그가 선택한 길이 점점 더 위험하고 가팔라지면서, 그를 따라올 수 있는 사람을 아무도 찾지 못했다. 그리하여 그는 웅장한 철학자라는 이상적인 형태로 완벽한 친구를 스스로 창조하고, 이 창조물을 세상에 자신의 복음을 전파하는 설교자로 삼았다.

Whether my brother would ever have written "Thus Spake Zarathustra" according to the first plan sketched in the summer of 1881, if he had not had the disappointments already referred to, is now an idle question; but perhaps where "Zarathustra" is concerned, we may also say with Master Eckhardt: "The fleetest beast to bear you to perfection is suffering."

만약 앞서 언급한 실망들이 없었다면, 나의 오빠가 1881년 여름에 구상한 최초의 계획대로 《차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다》를 과연 썼을지는 이제 무의미한 질문이다. 하지만 아마도 《차라투스트라》에 관해서라면, 우리는 마이스터 에크하르트의 말을 빌려 이렇게 말할 수도 있을 것이다. "그대를 완성으로 이끄는 가장 빠른 짐승은 고통이다."

My brother writes as follows about the origin of the first part of "Zarathustra":—"In the winter of 1882–83, I was living on the charming little Gulf of Rapallo, not far from Genoa, and between Chiavari and Cape Porto Fino.

나의 오빠는 《차라투스트라》 제1부의 탄생에 대해 다음과 같이 기술하고 있다. "1882년에서 83년 겨울, 나는 제노바에서 멀지 않고 키아바리와 포르토피노 곶 사이에 위치한 아름다운 작은 라팔로 만에서 살고 있었다.
