He fondly loved, for instance, his position as a "persecuted" man and, so to speak, an "exile."
예를 들어 그는 자신이 "박해받는" 사람, 즉 "유배자"라는 지위를 매우 좋아했습니다.
There is a sort of traditional glamour about those two little words that fascinated him once for all and, exalting him gradually in his own opinion, raised him in the course of years to a lofty pedestal very gratifying to vanity.
그 두 단어에는 일종의 전통적인 매력이 있어서 그를 한 번 완전히 매료시켰고, 그 단어는 점차 그의 자만심을 높여 수년에 걸쳐 그를 허영심에 매우 만족스러운 높은 위치로 끌어올렸습니다.
In an English satire of the last century, Gulliver, returning from the land of the Lilliputians where the people were only three or four inches high, had grown so accustomed to consider himself a giant among them, that as he walked along the streets of London he could not help crying out to carriages and passers-by to be careful and get out of his way for fear he should crush them, imagining that they were little and he was still a giant.
지난 세기의 한 영국 풍자극에서, 키가 겨우 3~4인치밖에 되지 않는 릴리푸트인들의 나라에서 돌아온 걸리버는 자신을 그들 사이에서 거인이라고 생각하는 데 너무 익숙해져서 런던 거리를 걸을 때마다 마차와 행인들에게 조심하고 길을 비켜달라고 소리치곤 했습니다. 그는 그들이 작고 자신은 여전히 거인이라고 생각했기 때문입니다.
He was laughed at and abused for it, and rough coachmen even lashed at the giant with their whips.
그는 그 일로 인해 비웃음과 학대를 받았으며, 거친 마부들은 심지어 그 거인을 채찍으로 때리기까지 했습니다.
But was that just?
하지만 그것이 과연 정당한 일이었을까요?
What may not be done by habit?
습관적으로 해서는 안 되는 일은 무엇입니까?
Habit had brought Stepan Trofimovitch almost to the same position, but in a more innocent and inoffensive form, if one may use such expressions, for he was a most excellent man.
습관은 스테판 트로피모비치를 거의 같은 위치로 이끌었지만, 그러한 표현을 사용할 수 있다면 더 순수하고 무해한 형태로 이끌었습니다. 왜냐하면 그는 매우 훌륭한 사람이었기 때문입니다.
I am even inclined to suppose that towards the end he had been entirely forgotten everywhere; but still it cannot be said that his name had never been known.
나는 그가 말년에는 어디에서나 완전히 잊혀졌을 것이라고 생각하기까지 합니다. 그러나 그의 이름이 전혀 알려지지 않았다고는 말할 수 없습니다.
