Alexander the Great died when he was quite young.
알렉산더 대왕은 아주 젊은 나이에 세상을 떠났습니다.
He was but thirty-two years of age when he ended his career, and as he was about twenty when he commenced it, it was only for a period of twelve years that he was actually engaged in performing the work of his life.
그는 서른두 살에 그의 경력을 마감했고, 스무 살쯤에 시작했으므로 실제로 그의 평생의 일을 수행한 기간은 12년에 불과했습니다.
Napoleon was nearly three times as long on the great field of human action.
나폴레옹은 인간 활동의 큰 무대에서 거의 세 배나 더 오래 활동했습니다.
Notwithstanding the briefness of Alexander's career, he ran through, during that short period, a very brilliant series of exploits, which were so bold, so romantic, and which led him into such adventures in scenes of the greatest magnificence and splendor, that all the world looked on with astonishment then, and mankind have continued to read the story since, from age to age, with the greatest interest and attention.
알렉산더의 생애는 짧았지만, 그 짧은 기간 동안 그는 매우 대담하고 낭만적인 일련의 위업을 달성했으며, 그로 인해 그는 가장 웅장하고 화려한 모험을 경험하게 되었습니다. 당시 온 세상은 놀라움으로 그 이야기를 바라보았고, 그 후로 인류는 대대로 그 이야기를 큰 관심과 주의를 기울여 읽어 왔습니다.
The secret of Alexander's success was his character.
알렉산더 대왕의 성공 비결은 그의 성품이었다.
He possessed a certain combination of mental and personal attractions, which in every age gives to those who exhibit it a mysterious and almost unbounded ascendency over all within their influence.
그는 정신적, 인격적 매력의 특정한 조합을 지녔는데, 이는 모든 시대에 그러한 매력을 드러내는 사람들에게 그들의 영향력 범위 내에 있는 모든 것에 대해 신비롭고 거의 무한한 우위를 부여합니다.
Alexander was characterized by these qualities in a very remarkable degree.
알렉산더는 이러한 자질을 매우 뛰어난 정도로 갖추고 있었습니다.
He was finely formed in person, and very prepossessing in his manners.
그는 용모가 아름다웠고, 태도 또한 매우 호감이 갔다.
