You do very well, my friends, to treat me with some little reverence, for in honouring me you are honouring both France and yourselves.
친구 여러분, 저를 조금이라도 존중해 주시는 것은 참으로 잘하시는 일입니다. 저를 존중해 주시는 것은 프랑스와 여러분 자신을 존중해 주시는 것이기 때문입니다.
It is not merely an old, grey-moustached officer whom you see eating his omelette or draining his glass, but it is a fragment of history.
여러분이 오믈렛을 먹거나 잔을 비우는 모습을 보는 것은 단지 늙고 회색 콧수염을 기른 장교의 모습만이 아니라, 역사의 한 조각입니다.
In me you see one of the last of those wonderful men, the men who were veterans when they were yet boys, who learned to use a sword earlier than a razor, and who during a hundred battles had never once let the enemy see the colour of their knapsacks.
너희는 내게서 그 놀라운 사람들 중 마지막 남은 한 사람을 본다. 그들은 소년 시절에 이미 노련했고, 면도칼보다 칼을 먼저 다룰 줄 알았으며, 백 번의 전투 동안 적에게 자신의 배낭 색깔을 한 번도 보여주지 않았다.
For twenty years we were teaching Europe how to fight, and even when they had learned their lesson it was only the thermometer, and never the bayonet, which could break the Grand Army down.
우리는 20년 동안 유럽에 싸우는 법을 가르쳤고, 그들이 교훈을 얻었을 때에도 대군을 무너뜨릴 수 있었던 것은 총검이 아니라 온도계뿐이었습니다.
Berlin, Naples, Vienna, Madrid, Lisbon, Moscow--we stabled our horses in them all.
베를린, 나폴리, 비엔나, 마드리드, 리스본, 모스크바—우리는 그 모든 곳에 말을 마구간에 두었습니다.
Yes, my friends, I say again that you do well to send your children to me with flowers, for these ears have heard the trumpet calls of France, and these eyes have seen her standards in lands where they may never be seen again.
그렇습니다, 친구들아, 내가 다시 말하건대 너희 자녀들을 내게 꽃과 함께 보내는 것은 잘한 일이다. 내 귀는 프랑스의 나팔 소리를 들었고, 내 눈은 다시는 볼 수 없을지도 모르는 땅에서 프랑스의 깃발을 보았기 때문이다.
Even now, when I doze in my arm-chair, I can see those great warriors stream before me--the green-jacketed chasseurs, the giant cuirassiers, Poniatowsky's lancers, the white-mantled dragoons, the nodding bearskins of the horse grenadiers.
지금도 나는 안락의자에 앉아 졸고 있을 때에도 그 위대한 전사들이 내 앞에 줄지어 지나가는 것을 볼 수 있습니다. 녹색 재킷을 입은 샤쇠르, 거대한 흉갑기병, 포니아토프스키의 창기병, 흰 망토를 두른 용기병, 곰가죽을 뒤집어쓴 기마척탄병들이 말입니다.
And then there comes the thick, low rattle of the drums, and through wreaths of dust and smoke I see the line of high bonnets, the row of brown faces, the swing and toss of the long, red plumes amid the sloping lines of steel.
그때 북소리가 낮고 굵게 울려 퍼지고, 먼지와 연기 사이로 나는 높이 솟은 보닛을 쓴 병사들의 모습, 갈색 얼굴들이 줄지어 서 있는 모습, 그리고 경사진 강철 선들 사이에서 길고 붉은 깃털이 흔들리는 모습을 보았다.
