Our beloved country, my dear young readers, has passed through one great revolution; and it is now in the midst of another, which promises to prove even more momentous in its consequences.

사랑하는 우리 조국은, 나의 사랑하는 젊은 독자 여러분, 한 번의 큰 혁명을 겪었고, 지금은 그 결과가 훨씬 더 중대한 것으로 드러날 또 다른 혁명의 한가운데에 있습니다.

Knowing, therefore, the deep and lasting impression the great events of the day must needs produce upon your opening minds, the author of this book has been casting about him how he might contribute to your and the nation's good.

그러므로 이 책의 저자는 오늘날 일어나는 중대한 사건들이 여러분의 열린 마음에 깊고 오래 지속되는 인상을 남겨야 한다는 것을 알고, 여러분과 국가의 유익을 위해 어떻게 기여할 수 있을지 고민해 왔습니다.

As he is altogether bereft of sight, and nearly so of hearing, he is, of course, unable to lift a hand in his country's defence, or raise his voice in her justification.

그는 시력을 완전히 잃었고 청력도 거의 잃었으므로 당연히 나라를 지키기 위해 손을 들 수도 없고 나라를 옹호하기 위해 목소리를 높일 수도 없습니다.

But she has a future; and for that he entertains an earnest hope, that through you, the rising generation, he may do something.

그러나 그녀에게는 미래가 있습니다. 그래서 그는 당신, 곧 떠오르는 세대를 통해 무언가를 할 수 있기를 간절히 바랍니다.

To this end, therefore, he has written this volume, wherein he has endeavored to set forth, in a manner more calculated to attract and impress the youthful mind than has perhaps been heretofore attempted, the life and character of our good and great George Washington.

그러므로 그는 이 책을 저술하여, 이전에는 시도된 적이 없었을지도 모르는 방식으로 젊은이들의 마음을 사로잡고 감명을 줄 수 있는 방식으로 우리의 위대하고 훌륭한 조지 워싱턴의 삶과 인품을 설명하려고 노력했습니다.

By so doing, he hopes to awaken in your minds a desire to imitate the example and emulate the virtues of this greatest and wisest of Americans.

그렇게 함으로써 그는 여러분의 마음속에 이 가장 위대하고 현명한 미국인의 모범을 따르고 그의 미덕을 본받고자 하는 소망을 불러일으키기를 바랍니다.

For should he succeed in this, and thereby influence a thousand of you, when arrived at man's estate, to remain loyal to your country in her hour of peril (who might else have been tempted to turn their hand against her), then shall his humble pen have done more for her future welfare than he could have done for her present deliverance, had he the wielding of a thousand swords.

만일 그가 이 일에 성공하여 너희 중 천 명이 장성하여 나라가 위험에 처했을 때 나라에 충성하도록 영향을 준다면 (그렇지 않았다면 나라를 배신하려는 유혹에 빠졌을 수도 있는 자들), 그의 보잘것없는 펜은 그가 천 자루의 칼을 휘두른다고 해도 할 수 있는 것보다 나라의 미래 복지에 더 큰 공헌을 한 것이다.

And, should he ever have reason to suppose that such were really the case, far happier would he be, even in the dark and silent depths of his solitude, than the renowned victor of a hundred battle-fields, in all the blaze and noise of popular applause.

만일 그가 그러한 일이 실제로 일어난다고 생각할 만한 이유가 생긴다면, 그는 백 번이나 전쟁에서 승리하여 군중의 환호와 함성 속에 있는 유명한 승리자보다 어둡고 고요한 고독 속에서 훨씬 더 행복할 것입니다.
