[41~42] 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

In the early fifteenth century, Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal sent his sailors to explore Africa and open it to Portuguese trade. Portuguese expeditions began to work their way down the western coast, always within sight of land. Upon reaching Cape Bojador, a rocky stretch of desolate coast with terrifying currents, the Portuguese sailors would inevitably turn back, convinced that this was the end of land and that no ship would ever pass it. Prince Henry sent out 15 expeditions between 1424 and 1434 until finally one succeeded by sailing a few kilometers out to sea and going south for a few kilometers, thereby passing the dangerous rocks and currents. As a navigation feat, this change of direction was trivial. While it is true that their ships were not strong and their navigation tools were primitive, the major barrier was not technological but the fear of losing sight of land. We can say that the feat of Christopher Columbus was far more difficult technically, but he too faced a major barrier of fear, both in his sponsors and in his crew. Once the Atlantic was crossed, this fear was swept away and only the reasonable fears of shipwreck, disease, and sea monsters remained. Many barriers are of this type. They are not merely unknown, but unimaginable. Major development can be achieved by having the courage to recognize and overcome barriers, just as the Portuguese and Spanish sailors did.

In the early fifteenth century, Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal sent his sailors to explore Africa and open it to Portuguese trade.

15세기 초에, 포르투갈의 항해사인 Prince Henry는 아프리카를 탐험하여 그곳에 포르투갈의 무역을 열도록 그의 선원들을 보냈다.

 

 

Portuguese expeditions began to work their way down the western coast, always within sight of land.

포르투갈의 탐험대는 항상 육지가 보이는 범위 안에서 서부 해안을 따라 항해하기 시작했다.

[분석] within sight of land : 육지가 보이는 범위 안에서

 

 

Upon reaching Cape Bojador, a rocky stretch of desolate coast with terrifying currents,

Cape Bojador, 공포의 해류가 있는 암초투성이의 고립된 해안에 다달았을 때,

 

the Portuguese sailors would inevitably turn back, convinced that this was the end of land and that no ship would ever pass it.

포르투갈 선원들은 이곳은 육지의 끝이고 어떠한 배도 그 곳을 지나갈 수 없다고 인식하여 하는 수 없이 뱃머리를 돌리곤 했다.

 

 

Prince Henry sent out 15 expeditions between 1424 and 1434 / until finally one succeeded by sailing a few kilometers out to sea and going south for a few kilometers, thereby passing the dangerous rocks and currents.

Prince Henry는 1424년과 1434년에 15차례의 탐험대를 보냈다. / 마침내 한 탐험대는 바다 쪽으로 몇 킬로미터 떨어져 항해하여 수 킬로미터를 남쪽으로 향하여 마침내 그 위험한 암초와 해류를 통과하여 성공하였다.

[분석] few kilometers out to sea 바다 쪽으로 몇 킬로미터 떨어져

 

 

As a navigation feat, this change of direction was trivial.

항해 업적에 따르면, 이 방향의 변경은 사소한 것이었다.

 

 

While it is true that their ships were not strong and their navigation tools were primitive,

그들의 선박은 약했고 그들의 항해 도구는 원시적인 것인 반면에

 

the major barrier was not technological but the fear of losing sight of land.

주요한 장애는 기술적인 것이 아닌 육지가 보이지 않는 두려움이었다.

 

 

We can say that the feat of Christopher Columbus was far more difficult technically,

Christopher Columbus의 업적은 엄밀히 말하면 훨씬 더 어려웠을 것이랄 말할 수 있지만,

- technically : 엄밀히 말하면, 기술적으로

 

but he too faced a major barrier of fear, both in his sponsors and in his crew.

그 또한 그의 후원자들과 선원들 사이의 공포의 주요한 장애에 직면했다.

 

 

Once the Atlantic was crossed, this fear was swept away and only the reasonable fears of shipwreck, disease, and sea monsters remained.

일단 대서양을 횡단했을 때, 이러 공포는 말끔히 사라졌고 단지 난파, 질병 그리고 해양 괴물과 같은 분명한 공포가 남아 있었다.

 

 

Many barriers are of this type. They are not merely unknown, but unimaginable.

많은 장애는 이러한 종류이다. 그들(장애)은 단지 알려져 있지 않아서가 아니라 상상할 수 없었다

 

.

Major development can be achieved by having the courage to recognize and overcome _____________ barriers, just as the Portuguese and Spanish sailors did.

포르투갈과 스페인 선원들이 이루었던 것처럼, 주요한 발전은 정신적 장애를 인식하고 극복하는 것으로 성취될 수 있다.
