Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience — Page 2

English → Korean Full Text Level 8/10

Others have been curious to learn what portion of my income I devoted to charitable purposes; and some, who have large families, how many poor children I maintained.

어떤 이들은 내가 자선 목적에 수입의 얼마를 할애했는지 알고 싶어 했고, 또 어떤 이들은, 대가족을 거느린 사람들로서, 내가 몇 명의 가난한 아이들을 부양했는지 궁금해했다.

I will therefore ask those of my readers who feel no particular interest in me to pardon me if I undertake to answer some of these questions in this book.

따라서 나는 이 책에서 그러한 질문들 중 몇 가지에 답하고자 할 때, 나에게 특별한 관심이 없는 독자들께서 너그러이 용서해 주시기를 청한다.

In most books, the _I_, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference.

대부분의 책에서 '나', 즉 일인칭은 생략되지만, 이 책에서는 그것이 유지될 것이다. 자기중심성이라는 면에서 그것이 주된 차이점이다.

We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking.

우리는 흔히, 결국 언제나 말하는 것은 일인칭이라는 사실을 잊고 산다.

I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well.

나 자신만큼 잘 아는 다른 누군가가 있다면, 나는 나 자신에 대해 이렇게 많이 이야기하지 않을 것이다.

Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience.

불행히도, 나는 나의 경험이 좁은 탓에 이 주제에 갇혀 있다.

Moreover, I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men's lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me.

더욱이, 나는 나 자신의 입장에서, 모든 작가에게 조만간 그 자신의 삶에 대한 단순하고 진솔한 이야기를, 단지 다른 사람들의 삶에 대해 들은 것이 아니라, 먼 땅에서 친족에게 보내는 듯한 그런 이야기를 요구한다. 왜냐하면 그가 진실하게 살아왔다면, 그것은 내게 있어 먼 땅에서의 일이었을 것이기 때문이다.

Perhaps these pages are more particularly addressed to poor students.

아마도 이 글은 특히 가난한 학생들을 위한 것일 것이다.

As for the rest of my readers, they will accept such portions as apply to them.

나머지 독자들은 자신에게 해당하는 부분들을 받아들일 것이다.

I trust that none will stretch the seams in putting on the coat, for it may do good service to him whom it fits.

나는 아무도 외투를 입을 때 솔기를 잡아 늘이지 않기를 바란다. 왜냐하면 그 옷은 맞는 사람에게 훌륭한 역할을 할 수 있기 때문이다.
