IF you look out of your window in a clear dawn on the French Riviera you may, if you are fortunate, see, far away to the south, a faint mountain range hanging on the sea, and if you do see it, it is a sight so beautiful that you will never forget it.

프랑스 리비에라의 맑은 새벽에 창밖을 내다보면 운이 좋으면 멀리 남쪽 바다에 걸쳐 있는 희미한 산맥을 볼 수 있을 것입니다. 그리고 만약 당신이 그것을 본다면, 그것은 너무나 아름다운 광경이어서 결코 잊지 못할 것입니다.

The mountain range belongs to Corsica, and under its shadow was born the most wonderful man the world has ever seen—Napoleon.

그 산맥은 코르시카에 속하며, 그 그늘 아래에서 세상에서 가장 훌륭한 사람인 나폴레옹이 태어났습니다.

In the year 1769 two babies were born in widely distant places, both destined to spend the best years of their lives in a life and death struggle with each other.

1769년에 아주 먼 곳에서 두 아기가 태어났는데, 둘 다 생사를 건 싸움 속에서 인생의 가장 소중한 시절을 보내게 될 운명이었다.

The birthday of Arthur Wellesley, afterwards Duke of Wellington, was on May 1, and his home was an Irish castle; while Napoleon Buonaparte saw the light in a small house in the little town of Ajaccio, in Corsica.

아서 웰즐리(훗날 웰링턴 공작)의 생일은 5월 1일이었고 그의 집은 아일랜드의 성이었습니다. 반면 나폴레옹 보나파르트는 코르시카의 작은 마을 아작시오에 있는 작은 집에서 태어났습니다.

Napoleon's ancestors came over from Tuscany early in the sixteenth century, and found in the island a large number of colonists like themselves, some Italian and some Greek, but all of them seeking refuge from the foreign armies which for fifty years had been trying to parcel out Italy among themselves.

나폴레옹의 조상들은 16세기 초 토스카나에서 건너와 섬에서 자신들과 같은 많은 식민지 개척자들을 발견했는데, 그들 중에는 이탈리아인도 있고 그리스인도 있었지만 모두 50년 동안 이탈리아를 나눠 가지려고 했던 외국 군대로부터 피난처를 찾고 있었습니다.

Though distant only a few hours' sail from its coasts, the inhabitants of the island were as different from those of the mainland as if the whole world lay between them.

비록 해안에서 불과 몇 시간 항해 거리밖에 떨어져 있지 않았지만, 그 섬의 주민들은 마치 온 세상이 그들 사이에 있는 것처럼 본토의 주민들과 완전히 달랐습니다.

In Italy men were lazy, yet impulsive, lovers of beauty, of art, of literature, and of luxury; in Corsica they were gloomy, silent, watchful, living hardly, careless of everything which had not to do with their daily lives.

이탈리아 사람들은 게으르지만 충동적이고 아름다움, 예술, 문학, 그리고 사치를 사랑했습니다. 코르시카 사람들은 음침하고 침묵하며 경계심이 많고 근근이 살아가며 일상생활과 상관없는 모든 것에 무관심했습니다.

Their hatreds were not only deep and strong, but lasting.

그들의 증오는 깊고 강했을 뿐 아니라 오래 지속되었다.
