freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. in this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.
이 짧은 글의 의도를 간파하지 못하겠어요.it seems as though 나온다음에 had pp 나왔으니까반어법스러운 거라는 뉘앙스는 느껴지지만,첫줄이랑 두번째줄밖에 모르겠어요.노동의 해방은 전혀 새로운 것이 아니라 이미 특권층에서 존재했었다.이정도까지밖에 못읽어내겠어요. in this instance부터 아마 반어법으로 뒷받침 문장이 나오는 것같은데 그 뜻을 못 헤아리겠네요.
뭔말이죠?
답변부탁드려요.
