In the midst of the steppes, of the mountains, of the impenetrable forests of the desert regions of Siberia, one meets from time to time with little towns of a thousand or two inhabitants, built entirely of wood, very ugly, with two churches--one in the centre of the town, the other in the cemetery--in a word, towns which bear much more resemblance to a good-sized village in the suburbs of Moscow than to a town properly so called.

초원과 산, 시베리아 사막 지역의 빽빽한 숲 한가운데에는 때때로 천 명이나 이천 명 정도의 주민이 사는 작은 마을들이 있는데, 이 마을들은 모두 나무로 지어졌고, 매우 못생겼으며, 교회가 두 개 있는데 하나는 마을 중앙에 있고 다른 하나는 묘지에 있습니다. 한마디로, 이런 마을들은 제대로 된 도시라기보다는 모스크바 교외에 있는 제법 큰 마을과 훨씬 더 비슷합니다.

In most cases they are abundantly provided with police-master, assessors, and other inferior officials.

대부분의 경우 그들은 경찰 책임자, 평가관 및 기타 하급 관리들을 충분히 갖추고 있습니다.

If it is cold in Siberia, the great advantages of the Government service compensate for it.

시베리아가 춥더라도 정부 봉사의 큰 이점이 그것을 상쇄합니다.

The inhabitants are simple people, without liberal ideas.

그곳 주민들은 단순한 사람들이며, 자유주의적 사상이 없습니다.

Their manners are antique, solid, and unchanged by time.

그들의 예절은 고대적이고 견고하며 시간이 흘러도 변하지 않습니다.

The officials who form, and with reason, the nobility in Siberia, either belong to the country, deeply-rooted Siberians, or they have arrived there from Russia.

시베리아에서 귀족을 이루는 관리들은 당연히 그 나라 출신으로 뿌리 깊은 시베리아인이거나 러시아에서 온 사람들입니다.

The latter come straight from the capitals, tempted by the high pay, the extra allowance for travelling expenses, and by hopes not less seductive for the future.

후자는 높은 급여와 여행 경비에 대한 추가 수당, 그리고 미래에 대한 매력적인 희망에 이끌려 수도에서 곧장 옵니다.

Those who know how to resolve the problem of life remain almost always in Siberia; the abundant and richly-flavoured fruit which they gather there recompenses them amply for what they lose.

인생의 문제를 해결하는 방법을 아는 사람들은 거의 항상 시베리아에 머무릅니다. 그곳에서 그들이 거두는 풍성하고 맛있는 과일은 그들이 잃은 것을 충분히 보상해 줍니다.
