We tend to think of myths as rather silly old stories about the adventures and misadventures of gods, warriors, and demons, invented by primitive people to explain a world they could not understand in our modern, scientific sense.

 

언뜻 보면 invented가 동사처럼 보이나

이 문장에 동사는 이미 앞에 tend가 쓰였기 때문에

invented는 동사가 될 수 없다.

invented는 silly old stories를 주체로 하는 과거분사이다.

 

 

 

[ 한줄해석 ]

 

We tend to think of myths as rather silly old stories about the adventures and misadventures of gods, warriors, and demons, invented by primitive people to explain a world they could not understand in our modern, scientific sense.

 

우리는 신화를 원시 사회의 사람들이 우리의 현대적, 과학적인 의미에서 이해하지 못했던 세상을 설명하기 위해 만들어낸, 신, 전사, 그리고 악마의 모험과 불운한 일들에 대한 다소 유치한 옛날 이야기로 생각하는 경향이 있다. 

 

But it is a mistake to dismiss these stories as trivial and old-fashioned, with no more important meaning for humanity.

 

하지만 이러한 이야기들을 인류에게 더 이상 중요한 의미가 없이 사소하고 구식인 것으로 묵살하는 것은 실수이다. 

 

Scholars such as Joseph Campbell and Claude Lévi-Strauss have shown that common themes in myths from many diverse cultures speak to us about the universal concerns of all people and about ways of thought that all humans share.

 

Joseph Campbell과 Claude Lévi-Strauss 같은 학자들은 많은 다양한 문화에서 나온 신화들의 공통적인 주제가 모든 사람들의 보편적인 관심과 모든 인류가 공유하고 있는 사고방식에 관해 우리에게 말해 주고 있다는 것을 보여 주었다. 

 

As we move increasingly toward a unified world—a global village, as it has been called—it is important to see how much basic human nature we all share.

 

우리가 하나의 통일된 세계, 즉 사람들이 일컬어온 지구촌을 향해 점점 나아감에 따라 우리 모두가 얼마나 많은 기본적인 인간 본성을 공유하고 있는지 아는 것은 중요하다. 

 

The systematic study of mythology reveals important points about the human psyche, about universal human motivations, fears and thought patterns.

 

신화에 관한 체계적인 연구는 인간의 정신, 즉 보편적인 인간의 동기, 두려움, 그리고 생각의 양식에 관한 중요한 점들을 알려준다.
