From the text

“During the course of the war some sixteen Editions of this work have appeared, each of which was, I hope, a little more full and accurate than that which preceded it.” The Great Boer War · Arthur Conan Doyle

Take a community of Dutchmen of the type of those who defended themselves for fifty years against all the power of Spain at a time when Spain was the greatest power in the world.

스페인이 세계 최강대국이었던 시대에 스페인의 모든 권력에 맞서 50년 동안 스스로를 방어했던 네덜란드인 공동체를 생각해 보십시오.

Intermix with them a strain of those inflexible French Huguenots who gave up home and fortune and left their country for ever at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.

낭트 칙령이 폐지될 당시 집과 재산을 버리고 영원히 조국을 떠난 완고한 프랑스 위그노들의 사상을 그들과 섞으십시오.

The product must obviously be one of the most rugged, virile, unconquerable races ever seen upon earth.

그 결과물은 분명히 지구상에서 지금까지 볼 수 없었던 가장 강인하고, 정력적이며, 정복할 수 없는 종족 중 하나일 것입니다.

Take this formidable people and train them for seven generations in constant warfare against savage men and ferocious beasts, in circumstances under which no weakling could survive, place them so that they acquire exceptional skill with weapons and in horsemanship, give them a country which is eminently suited to the tactics of the huntsman, the marksman, and the rider.

이 강력한 백성을 택하여 7대 동안 야만인과 사나운 짐승과 끊임없이 싸우도록 훈련시키고, 약한 자는 살아남을 수 없는 환경에서 그들이 무기와 말에 대한 뛰어난 기술을 습득하도록 하며, 사냥꾼, 명사수, 기수의 전술에 매우 적합한 땅을 그들에게 주십시오.

Then, finally, put a finer temper upon their military qualities by a dour fatalistic Old Testament religion and an ardent and consuming patriotism.

그런 다음, 마침내 엄숙한 운명론적 구약 종교와 열렬하고 열정적인 애국심으로 그들의 군사적 자질에 더 나은 기질을 부여했습니다.

Combine all these qualities and all these impulses in one individual, and you have the modern Boer--the most formidable antagonist who ever crossed the path of Imperial Britain.

이러한 모든 자질과 충동을 한 사람에게 결합하면 현대의 보어인이 됩니다. 그들은 제국 영국이 마주쳤던 가장 강력한 적수입니다.

Our military history has largely consisted in our conflicts with France, but Napoleon and all his veterans have never treated us so roughly as these hard-bitten farmers with their ancient theology and their inconveniently modern rifles.

우리의 군사 역사는 대부분 프랑스와의 갈등으로 이루어져 있지만, 나폴레옹과 그의 모든 참전 용사들은 고대의 신학과 불편할 정도로 현대적인 소총을 가진 이 강인한 농부들처럼 우리를 거칠게 대한 적이 없습니다.

Look at the map of South Africa, and there, in the very centre of the British possessions, like the stone in a peach, lies the great stretch of the two republics, a mighty domain for so small a people.

남아프리카 지도를 보십시오. 영국령의 정중앙에 복숭아씨처럼 두 공화국의 넓은 땅이 펼쳐져 있습니다. 그 작은 민족에게는 너무나 큰 영토입니다.
