It was in the Fall of nineteen seventeen at an officers’ training camp that I first became acquainted with John Carter, War Lord of Barsoom, through the pages of your novel “A Princess of Mars.”
제가 처음 바르숨의 전쟁 영주 존 카터를 알게 된 것은 1917년 가을 장교 훈련소에서였습니다. 이는 당신의 소설 "화성의 공주"를 통해서였습니다.
The story made a profound impression upon me and while my better judgment assured me that it was but a highly imaginative piece of fiction, a suggestion of the verity of it pervaded my inner consciousness to such an extent that I found myself dreaming of Mars and John Carter, of Dejah Thoris, of Tars Tarkas and of Woola as if they had been entities of my own experience rather than the figments of your imagination.
그 이야기는 제게 깊은 인상을 주었고, 제 이성적인 판단으로는 그것이 매우 상상력이 풍부한 허구에 불과하다고 확신했지만, 그 이야기가 사실일지도 모른다는 생각이 제 내면 의식에 깊이 스며들어 저는 마치 그들이 당신의 상상 속 인물이 아니라 제 경험 속의 실체인 것처럼 마스와 존 카터, 데자 토리스, 타르스 타르카스, 울라를 꿈꾸게 되었습니다.
It is true that in those days of strenuous preparation there was little time for dreaming, yet there were brief moments before sleep claimed me at night and these were my dreams. Such dreams!
힘든 준비 기간 동안 꿈을 꿀 시간이 거의 없었던 것은 사실이지만, 밤에 잠이 들기 직전 짧은 순간들이 있었고, 그때가 바로 나의 꿈이었습니다. 참으로 놀라운 꿈들이었습니다!
Always of Mars, and during my waking hours at night my eyes always sought out the Red Planet when he was above the horizon and clung there seeking a solution of the seemingly unfathomable riddle he has presented to the Earthman for ages.
나는 항상 화성을 바라보았고, 밤에 깨어 있는 동안에도 항상 지평선 위에 떠 있는 붉은 행성을 찾아 그곳에 머물며 오랫동안 지구인에게 제시해 온 헤아릴 수 없는 수수께끼의 해답을 찾으려 애썼다.
Perhaps the thing became an obsession.
아마도 그 일은 집착이 되었을 것이다.
I know it clung to me all during my training camp days, and at night, on the deck of the transport, I would lie on my back gazing up into the red eye of the god of battle—my god—and wishing that, like John Carter, I might be drawn across the great void to the haven of my desire.
훈련소 시절 내내 그것이 내 마음속에 맴돌았고, 밤에는 수송선 갑판에 누워 전쟁의 신, 곧 나의 신의 붉은 눈을 올려다보며 존 카터처럼 나도 저 광활한 공허를 건너 내가 바라는 안식처로 이끌리기를 소망하곤 했습니다.
And then came the hideous days and nights in the trenches—the rats, the vermin, the mud—with an occasional glorious break in the monotony when we were ordered over the top.
그리고 나서 참호 속에서 끔찍한 나날과 밤이 이어졌습니다. 쥐와 해충, 진흙투성이였지만, 가끔씩 참호 밖으로 나가라는 명령을 받을 때면 그 단조로움이 잠시나마 영광스럽게 끝났습니다.
I loved it then and I loved the bursting shells, the mad, wild chaos of the thundering guns, but the rats and the vermin and the mud—God! how I hated them.
나는 그때 그것을 사랑했고, 터지는 포탄과 천둥처럼 울리는 총소리의 미친 듯이 혼란스러운 분위기를 사랑했지만, 쥐와 해충과 진흙은—맙소사! 얼마나 싫었던가.
