There are many of us in England who consider the crime which has been wrought in the Congo lands by King Leopold of Belgium and his followers to be the greatest which has ever been known in human annals.

우리 영국에는 벨기에의 레오폴드 왕과 그의 추종자들이 콩고 땅에서 저지른 범죄를 인류 역사상 가장 큰 범죄로 여기는 사람들이 많습니다.

Personally I am strongly of that opinion.

개인적으로 저는 그 의견을 강력히 지지합니다.

There have been great expropriations like that of the Normans in England or of the English in Ireland.

노르만족이 잉글랜드에서, 또는 영국인이 아일랜드에서 했던 것과 같은 대규모 토지 수탈이 있었습니다.

There have been massacres of populations like that of the South Americans by the Spaniards or of subject nations by the Turks.

스페인 사람들이 남아메리카 사람들을 학살한 것과 같은 일이나, 터키 사람들이 피지배 민족들을 학살한 것과 같은 일들이 있었습니다.

But never before has there been such a mixture of wholesale expropriation and wholesale massacre all done under an odious guise of philanthropy and with the lowest commercial motives as a reason.

그러나 이전에는 이처럼 대규모 몰수와 대규모 학살이 모두 자선이라는 혐오스러운 명분 아래, 그리고 가장 저급한 상업적 동기를 이유로 자행된 적은 없었습니다.

It is this sordid cause and the unctious hypocrisy which makes this crime unparalleled in its horror.

이 추악한 원인과 아첨하는 위선이 이 범죄를 그토록 끔찍하게 만드는 것입니다.

The witnesses of the crime are of all nations, and there is no possibility of error concerning facts.

범죄의 증인들은 모든 민족 출신이므로 사실에 관하여 오류가 있을 가능성이 없습니다.

There are British consuls like Casement, Thesiger, Mitchell and Armstrong, all writing in their official capacity with every detail of fact and date.

Casement, Thesiger, Mitchell, Armstrong과 같은 영국 영사들이 모두 공식적인 자격으로 사실과 날짜의 모든 세부 사항을 기록하고 있습니다.
