Holland is one of the most remarkable countries on the globe.

네덜란드는 지구상에서 가장 주목할 만한 국가 중 하나입니다.

The peculiarities which make it remarkable arise from the fact that it is almost perfectly level throughout, and it lies so low.

이 땅이 주목할 만한 특이한 점은 그 전체가 거의 완벽하게 평평하고 매우 낮게 위치해 있다는 사실입니다.

A very large portion of it, in fact, lies below the level of the sea, the waters being kept out, as every body knows, by immense dikes that have stood for ages.

실제로 그 대부분은 해수면 아래에 있으며, 누구나 알다시피 오랜 세월 동안 서 있던 거대한 제방으로 인해 물이 들어오지 못하도록 막혀 있습니다.

These dikes are so immense, and they are so concealed by the houses, and trees, and mills, and even villages that cover and disguise them, that when the traveller first sees them he can hardly believe that they are dikes.

이 둑들은 너무나 거대하고 집, 나무, 방앗간, 심지어 마을로 덮여 있어서 눈에 잘 띄지 않기 때문에 여행자가 처음 그것을 볼 때에는 그것이 둑이라는 것을 믿기 어려울 정도입니다.

Some of them are several hundred feet wide, and have a good broad public road upon the top, with a canal perhaps by the side of it, and avenues of trees, and road-side inns, and immense wind mills on the other hand.

그중 일부는 폭이 수백 피트에 달하고, 정상에는 넓은 공공 도로가 있으며, 옆에는 운하가 있고, 가로수길과 길가 여관, 그리고 반대편에는 거대한 풍차가 있습니다.

When riding or walking along upon such a dike on one side, down a long slope, they have a glimpse of water between the trees.

그러한 제방을 따라 한쪽으로 길게 경사면을 내려가면서 말을 타거나 걸어가면 나무 사이로 물이 살짝 보입니다.

On the other, at an equal distance you see a green expanse of country, with gardens, orchards, fields of corn and grain, and scattered farm houses extending far and wide.

반면에 같은 거리에는 정원과 과수원, 옥수수와 곡식 밭, 그리고 멀리 넓게 펼쳐진 농가들이 있는 푸른 들판이 보입니다.

At first you do not perceive that this beautiful country that you see spreading in every direction on one side of the road is below the level of the water that you see on the other side; but on a careful comparison you find that it is so.

처음에는 길 한쪽에 사방으로 펼쳐진 이 아름다운 땅이 반대편에 보이는 물보다 낮다는 것을 알아차리지 못합니다. 그러나 자세히 비교해 보면 그렇다는 것을 알게 됩니다.
