Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience — Page 6
Actually, the laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day; he cannot afford to sustain the manliest relations to men; his labor would be depreciated in the market.
사실, 노동하는 사람은 날마다 진정한 성실함을 위한 여유가 없다. 그는 사람들과 가장 남자다운 관계를 유지할 여유가 없으며, 그의 노동은 시장에서 평가절하될 것이다.
He has no time to be anything but a machine.
그는 기계 이외의 다른 무엇이 될 시간이 없다.
How can he remember well his ignorance—which his growth requires—who has so often to use his knowledge?
자신의 성장을 위해 필요한 무지함을, 자신의 지식을 그토록 자주 사용해야 하는 사람이 어떻게 잘 기억할 수 있겠는가?
We should feed and clothe him gratuitously sometimes, and recruit him with our cordials, before we judge of him.
우리는 그를 판단하기 전에, 때로는 그에게 무상으로 먹을 것과 입을 것을 주고, 우리의 따뜻한 격려로 그를 회복시켜야 한다.
The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling.
과일 위의 꽃처럼, 우리 본성의 가장 섬세한 자질은 오직 가장 조심스러운 다룸으로만 보존될 수 있다.
Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.
그러나 우리는 우리 자신도, 서로도 그렇게 다정하게 대하지 않는다.
Some of you, we all know, are poor, find it hard to live, are sometimes, as it were, gasping for breath.
우리 모두 알다시피, 여러분 중 일부는 가난하고, 살아가기가 힘들며, 때로는 마치 숨을 헐떡이는 것 같은 상태에 있다.
I have no doubt that some of you who read this book are unable to pay for all the dinners which you have actually eaten, or for the coats and shoes which are fast wearing or are already worn out, and have come to this page to spend borrowed or stolen time, robbing your creditors of an hour.
이 책을 읽는 여러분 중 일부는 실제로 먹은 저녁 식사 값을 모두 치르지 못하거나, 빠르게 닳아가거나 이미 다 닳아버린 외투와 신발 값을 치르지 못하면서, 빌리거나 훔친 시간을 보내기 위해 이 페이지에 왔으며, 채권자들에게서 한 시간을 훔치고 있다는 것을 나는 의심하지 않는다.
