"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain

 

#

Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it—namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. And this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a tread-mill is work, while rolling ten-pins or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement. There are wealthy gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger-coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line, in the summer, because the privilege costs them considerable money; but if they were offered wages for the service, that would turn it into work and then they would resign.

 

톰은 결국 그렇게 텅 빈 세계가 아니라고 혼잣말을 했다. 그는 인간 행동의 위대한 법칙을 알지 못한 채 발견했었는데, 그것은 남자든 남자든 남자든 남자든 남자든 남자든 어떤 것을 탐내게 하기 위해서는 단지 무언가를 얻기 어렵게 만드는 것만이 필요하다는 것이다. 만약 그가 이 책의 작가처럼 위대하고 현명한 철학자였다면, 그는 이제 일은 육체가 해야 할 의무가 있는 모든 것으로 구성되어 있고, 플레이는 육체가 해야 할 의무가 없는 것으로 이루어져 있다는 것을 이해했을 것이다. 그리고 이것은 10핀을 굴리거나 몽블랑을 오르는 것이 재미있을 뿐인데, 왜 인공 꽃을 만들거나 러닝머신에서 공연하는 것이 일인지를 이해하는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 영국에는 매년 여름 20-30마일을 달리는 부유한 신사들이 있다. 그 특권은 그들에게 상당한 비용이 들기 때문이다. 그러나 만약 그들이 봉사에 대한 임금을 제공받는다면, 그것은 일을 할 수 있고, 그리고 나서 그들은 사임할 것이다.

 

hollow - words, events, or people that are hollow have no real worth or value 

ex) They won, but it was a hollow victory. 

ex) Even as he spoke, Ivan was well aware of the hollow ring to his words.

 

namely - used when saying the names of the people or things you are referring to 

ex) Three students were mentioned, namely John, Sarah and Sylvia.

 

covet - to have a very strong desire to have something that someone else has 

ex) The Michelin Awards are coveted by restaurants all over the world.

 

obligate - to make someone have to do something, because it is the law, their duty, or the right thing to do SYN obligebe

obligated to do something 

ex) Tenants are obligated to pay their rent on time.

 

construct - to form something such as a sentence, argument, or system by joining words, ideas etc together

ex) Boyce has constructed a new theory of management.

ex) He had no special privileges and was treated just like every other prisoner.

privilege of 

ex) the privilege of a good education

So endeth this chronicle. It being strictly a history of a boy, it must stop here; the story could not go much further without becoming the history of a man. When one writes a novel about grown people, he knows exactly where to stop—that is, with a marriage; but when he writes of juveniles, he must stop where he best can.

Most of the characters that perform in this book still live, and are prosperous and happy. Some day it may seem worth while to take up the story of the younger ones again and see what sort of men and women they turned out to be; therefore it will be wisest not to reveal any of that part of their lives at present.

 

그러니 이 연대기를 끝내라. 그것은 엄격하게 한 소년의 역사인 만큼 여기서 멈춰야 한다; 그 이야기는 한 남자의 역사가 되지 않고는 더 이상 나아갈 수 없었다. 성인이 된 사람들에 대한 소설을 쓸 때, 그는 정확히 어디에 멈춰야 하는지 알고 있다. 즉 결혼과 함께 말이다. 하지만 그가 청소년기에 대해 쓸 때는 그가 할 수 있는 한 최선을 다해야 한다.

이 책에서 공연하는 인물들은 대부분 아직 살아있고, 번창하고 행복하다. 언젠가 젊은 사람들의 이야기를 다시 꺼내서 그들이 어떤 종류의 남자와 여자로 판명되었는지 보는 것이 가치 있는 것처럼 보일지도 모른다. 그러므로 현재 그들의 삶의 그 어떤 부분도 밝히지 않는 것이 가장 현명할 것이다.

 

strictly -  in a way that must be obeyed 

ex) Alcohol is strictly forbidden on school premises. 

ex) The ban on hunting is not strictly enforced.

 

juvenile -  silly and typical of a child rather than an adult – used to show disapproval SYN childish 

ex) a very juvenile sense of humour

 

prosperous - rich and successful 

ex) a prosperous landowner
