The settlement of America had its origin in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant in mind from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace, that the whole span of the Atlantic did not materially widen the gulf.
미국의 정착은 유럽의 동요에 그 기원이 있다. 미국은 유럽사람들이 이미 그들이 살던 유럽의 고대로부터 내려오던 생각들과 방식들로부터 마음이 많이 멀어져서 대서양에 살던 전체 시기동안 크게 멕시코 만을 확장시키지 못하던 바로 그 시기에 존재하게 되었다.

The dissociation, the displacement and finally, the disintegration of European culture became most apparent in the New World: but the process itself began in Europe, and the interests that eventually dominated the American scene all had their origin in the Old World.
유럽문화의 분리, 이동, 그리고 마침내 분열은 새로운 세계(미국)에서 매우 두드러지게 되었다. 그러나 그 과정 자체는 유럽에서 시작되었고 궁극적으로 미국 전체를 사로잡았던 흥미거리들은 유럽에 그 기원을 두고 있었다.

The Protestant, the inventor, the politician, the explorer, the restless delocalized man- all these types appeared in Europe before they rallied together to form the composite American. If we can understand the forces that produced them, we shall fathom the origins of the American mind. The settlement of the Atlantic seaboard was the culmination of one process, the breakup of medieval culture, and the beginning of another. If the disintegration went farthest in America, the processes of renewal have, at intervals, been most active in the new country; and it is for the beginning of a genuine culture, rather than for its relentless exploitation of materials, that the American adventure has been significant.
