Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience — Page 12

English → Korean Full Text Level 8/10

This was not the light in which I hoed them.

이것은 내가 그것들을 괭이질했던 그런 관점이 아니었다.

The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles!

별들은 얼마나 경이로운 삼각형들의 꼭짓점들인가!

What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment!

우주의 다양한 거처에 있는 얼마나 멀고도 다른 존재들이 같은 순간에 같은 별을 바라보고 있는가!

Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions.

자연과 인간의 삶은 우리 각자의 기질만큼이나 다양하다.

Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?

삶이 다른 이에게 어떤 전망을 제공하는지 누가 말할 수 있겠는가?

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?

잠시나마 서로의 눈을 통해 바라보는 것보다 더 큰 기적이 있을 수 있겠는가?

We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages.

우리는 한 시간 안에 세상의 모든 시대를 살아갈 것이다; 그렇다, 모든 시대의 세계들 속에서.

History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another's experience so startling and informing as this would be.

역사, 시, 신화여!—나는 이것만큼 놀랍고 깨우침을 주는 타인의 경험에 대한 독서를 알지 못한다.

The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior.

이웃들이 좋다고 부르는 것의 대부분을 나는 영혼으로 나쁘다고 믿으며, 내가 무언가를 후회한다면 그것은 아마도 나의 선한 행동일 것이다.

What demon possessed me that I behaved so well?

내가 그토록 올바르게 행동하도록 어떤 악마가 나를 사로잡았던 것인가?

You may say the wisest thing you can, old man,—you who have lived seventy years, not without honor of a kind,—I hear an irresistible voice which invites me away from all that.

당신은 할 수 있는 가장 현명한 말을 할 수 있겠지요, 노인이여,—어느 정도의 명예 없이는 살지 않은 칠십 년을 살아온 당신이여,—나는 그 모든 것으로부터 나를 멀리 이끄는 거부할 수 없는 목소리를 듣는다.

One generation abandons the enterprises of another like stranded vessels.

한 세대는 좌초된 배처럼 다른 세대의 사업들을 버린다.

I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do.

나는 우리가 현재보다 훨씬 더 많이 안심하고 신뢰할 수 있다고 생각한다.

We may waive just so much care of ourselves as we honestly bestow elsewhere.

우리는 다른 곳에 진심으로 쏟는 만큼의 자기 자신에 대한 염려를 포기할 수 있다.

Nature is as well adapted to our weakness as to our strength.

자연은 우리의 강함에 적응하듯이 우리의 약함에도 잘 적응되어 있다.
