Thus, not only were these authors writing long after the events they were describing, but we also have the added problem of trying to decide whether or not they were quoted correctly.

[ 한줄해석 ]

 

 

Much of the written evidence historians of ancient times must use is the equivalent of what our legal system calls “hearsay.”

 

고대를 연구하는 역사학자들이 이용해야 하는 글로 쓰인 증거의 많은 부분은 우리의 법률 제도가 ‘전문(傳聞)’이 라고 부르는 것에 상응하는 것이다. 

 

It comes from writers who lived long after the events that they relate and often contains much local folklore and tradition that may or may not be accurate.

 

그것의 출처는 그들이 설명하는 사건이 일어난 지 오랜 후에 살았던 기록자들이며 정확할 수도 그렇지 않을 수도 있는 현지의 민간전승과 구전(口傳)을 흔히 많이 담고 있다. 

 

Furthermore, sometimes the level of “hearsay” between the “witness” and the original event is even greater.

 

게다가 때때로 ‘증언’과 원래 사건 사이에 있는 ‘전문’의 정도는 훨씬 더 크다. 

 

The writings of some ancient authors survive only in quotations from their work by other ancient figures.

 

일부 고대 저자의 글은 다른 고대 인물에 의해 그들의 저작물에서 인용한 것으로만 살아남는다. 

 

The history of Egypt written by Manetho, an Egyptian priest of the early third century BCE, is known only through such quotations.

 

기원전 3세기 초의 이집트 사제인 Manetho가 쓴 이집트 역사는 그런 인용을 통해서만 알려져 있다. 

 

The same is true for the work of the Hellenistic Babylonian priest, Berossus.

 

헬레니즘 시기 바빌로니아 사제인 Berossus의 저작물에 있어서도 마찬가지이다. 

 

Thus, not only were these authors writing long after the events they were describing, but we also have the added problem of trying to decide whether or not they were quoted correctly.

 

그러므로 이 저자들은 자신들이 서술하는 사건이 일어난 한참 후에 글을 쓰고 있었을 뿐만 아니라, 우리는 그들이 정확하게 인용 되었는지 그러지 않았는지를 결정하고자 애쓴다는 추가적인 문제도 가지고 있다.

 

Obviously, the historian has to analyze such sources with great care and seek independent validation of their testimony from archaeology or other texts.

 

분명 역사학자는 그런 자료들을 매우 신중하게 분석해야 하고 고고학이나 다른 문서로부터 그것들의 증언에 대한 독자적인 확인을 추구해야 한다.
