Traditions of the Tinguian: a Study in Philippine Folk-Lore — Page 2

English → Korean Full Text Level 6/10

It is my intention to publish a study of this people in the near future, but realizing that it will be quite impossible for readers unacquainted with Tinguian life to understand many references in the tales, I have added such foot notes as will enable them to grasp the meaning of certain obscure passages.

나는 가까운 미래에 이 민족에 대한 연구를 출판할 의도를 가지고 있으나, 팅구이안의 생활에 익숙하지 않은 독자들이 이야기 속의 많은 언급들을 이해하는 것이 상당히 불가능할 것임을 깨닫고, 특정 난해한 구절들의 의미를 파악할 수 있도록 각주를 추가하였다.

In the introduction, an attempt has been made to bring together the culture of the people as it appears in the myths, and to contrast it with present day conditions and beliefs.

서론에서는 신화에 나타나는 민족의 문화를 한데 모아 현재의 상황 및 믿음과 대조하려는 시도가 이루어졌다.

In this way we may hope to gain a clearer insight into their mental life, and to secure a better idea of the values they attach to certain of their activities than is afforded us by actual observation or by direct inquiry.

이러한 방식으로 우리는 그들의 정신적 삶에 대한 더 명확한 통찰을 얻고, 실제 관찰이나 직접적인 조사로는 얻을 수 없는 그들의 특정 활동에 부여하는 가치에 대한 더 나은 이해를 확보할 수 있기를 바랄 수 있다.

It is also possible that the tales may give us a glimpse of the early conditions under which this people developed, of their life and culture before the advent of the European.

또한 이 이야기들은 이 민족이 발전한 초기 상황, 즉 유럽인의 도래 이전의 그들의 삶과 문화를 엿볼 수 있게 해줄 수도 있다.

It should be noted at the outset that no attempt is here made to reconstruct an actual historical period.

처음부터 여기서는 실제 역사적 시기를 재구성하려는 시도가 이루어지지 않았음을 유의해야 한다.

As will appear later, a part of the material is evidently very old; later introductions--to which approximate dates may be assigned--have assumed places of great importance; while the stories doubtless owe much to the creative imaginations of successive story-tellers.

나중에 나타나겠지만, 자료의 일부는 분명히 매우 오래되었으며, 대략적인 날짜를 부여할 수 있는 이후의 도입부들은 매우 중요한 위치를 차지하게 되었고, 이야기들은 의심할 여지 없이 연속적인 이야기꾼들의 창의적인 상상력에 크게 의존하고 있다.

A comparison of these tales with the folk-lore of neighboring tribes would be of greatest value, but unfortunately very little material for such a study is available.

이 이야기들을 인접 부족의 민속과 비교하는 것은 매우 가치 있는 일이겠지만, 안타깝게도 그러한 연구를 위한 자료가 거의 없다.
