❶ Myths aren’t only stories.

❶ [ Myths = 단순한 이야기 아님 ]    통념은 단지 이야기가 아니다.

 

❷ For example, a well-known myth that persists today is the supposed high iron content in spinach.

❷ [ 예:  시금치= 철분 많다 (잘못된 믿음 지속) ]    예를 들어, 오늘날에도 지속되는 잘 알려진 하나의 통념은 시금치에 있다고 여겨지는 높은 철분 함량이다.

 

❸ This is a legend that dates back to 1890 and originates from a simple miscalculation by physiologist Gustav von Bunge.

❸ [ 근원=  계산 오류 ]  이것은 1890년으로 거슬러 올라가 생리학자 Gustav von Bunge(구스타프 폰 분게)의 단순한 계산 착오에서 비롯된 전해오는 이야기이다.

 

❹ He accurately determined that 100 grams of spinach contained 35 milligrams of iron but he was analyzing dried spinach, which held ten times more iron than the same amount of fresh leafy greens.

❹ [ 원인=  말린 시금치 분석 → 철분 10배 ]    그가 시금치 100그램이 철분 35밀리그램을 함유하고 있다는 사실을 정확하게 밝혀냈지만, 그는 말린 시금치를 분석하고 있었고, 그것은 같은 양의 말리지 않은 푸른잎채소 (시금치)보다 열 배 많은 철분을 갖고 있었다.

 

❺ Although the error was swiftly corrected, the correction was just as swiftly forgotten.

❺ [ 오류는 바로 수정→  그러나 금방 잊힘 ]    그 오류는 빠르게 수정되었지만 그 수정은 그만큼 빠르게 잊혀졌다.

 

❻ The myth had taken hold.

❻ [ 결과=  통념이 굳어짐 ]  이 통념은 확고히 자리를 잡았다.

 

❼ Popeye, who gained superhuman strength from the leafy greens and defended himself with iron fists, contributed to its endurance and even today, some nearly 150 years later, parents the world over use this tale to try to persuade their children into eating the healthy vegetable.

❼ [ 팝아이(뽀빠이) 효과=  통념 강화→  오늘까지 지속 ]   Popeye(팝아이/뽀빠이)는 푸른잎채소(시금치)에서 초인적인 힘을 얻고 강철 주먹으로 자신을 방어했기에, 그것의 지속에 기여했고, 약 150년이 지난 오늘날에도 전 세계 부모들은 자녀들 이 건강한 그 채소를 먹도록 설득하기 위해 이 이야기를 이용한다.
