Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience — Page 11

English → Korean Full Text Level 8/10

Some things are really necessaries of life in some circles, the most helpless and diseased, which in others are luxuries merely, and in others still are entirely unknown.

어떤 집단에서는 가장 무력하고 병든 사람들에게 진정한 생활 필수품인 것들이, 다른 집단에서는 단순한 사치품에 불과하고, 또 다른 집단에서는 전혀 알려져 있지 않기도 하다.

The whole ground of human life seems to some to have been gone over by their predecessors, both the heights and the valleys, and all things to have been cared for.

인간 삶의 모든 영역이, 높은 곳과 낮은 곳 모두, 선조들에 의해 이미 탐구되었으며 모든 것이 이미 돌보아진 것처럼 보인다고 느끼는 사람들이 있다.

According to Evelyn, "the wise Solomon prescribed ordinances for the very distances of trees; and the Roman prætors have decided how often you may go into your neighbor's land to gather the acorns which fall on it without trespass, and what share belongs to that neighbor."

에블린에 따르면, "지혜로운 솔로몬은 나무들 사이의 간격에 관한 규정까지 정하였으며, 로마의 법무관들은 이웃의 땅에 떨어진 도토리를 줍기 위해 불법 침입 없이 얼마나 자주 그 땅에 들어갈 수 있는지, 그리고 이웃에게 돌아갈 몫이 얼마인지를 결정하였다."

Hippocrates has even left directions how we should cut our nails; that is, even with the ends of the fingers, neither shorter nor longer.

히포크라테스는 심지어 손톱을 어떻게 깎아야 하는지에 대한 지침까지 남겼는데, 즉 손가락 끝과 가지런하게, 더 짧지도 더 길지도 않게 깎으라는 것이다.

Undoubtedly the very tedium and ennui which presume to have exhausted the variety and the joys of life are as old as Adam.

삶의 다양함과 기쁨을 모두 소진했다고 자처하는 바로 그 권태와 무료함이 아담만큼이나 오래된 것임은 의심할 여지가 없다.

But man's capacities have never been measured; nor are we to judge of what he can do by any precedents, so little has been tried.

그러나 인간의 능력은 결코 측정된 적이 없으며, 시도된 것이 너무나 적기에 어떤 전례를 들어 인간이 무엇을 할 수 있는지를 판단해서도 안 된다.

Whatever have been thy failures hitherto, "be not afflicted, my child, for who shall assign to thee what thou hast left undone?"

지금까지 어떤 실패를 겪었든 간에, "괴로워하지 말라, 나의 아이여, 네가 하지 못한 것을 누가 너에게 따질 수 있으랴?"

We might try our lives by a thousand simple tests; as, for instance, that the same sun which ripens my beans illumines at once a system of earths like ours.

우리는 수천 가지 단순한 기준으로 우리의 삶을 시험해 볼 수 있다. 예를 들어, 내 콩을 익히는 바로 그 태양이 동시에 우리 것과 같은 수많은 지구들을 비추고 있다는 사실처럼.

If I had remembered this it would have prevented some mistakes.

만약 내가 이것을 기억했더라면 몇 가지 실수를 막을 수 있었을 것이다.
