BOSSという英文の訳お願いします

質問

Words appeal to the emotions of people as well as to their intellect. Some words soothe one's feelings, but others arouse dislike or hatred. The first settlers who came to New England were glad that in this new land they were without masters. They despised master because it reminded them of a social order they hoped they were through with forever.
They found an excellent way to get along without the word. In Dutch baas means "master." The early English settlers in New York borrowed this word in the form of boss and used it instead of master. It quickly became popular all over the country and is still in everyday use.
It should be noticed however, that boss has never been able to secure anything but colloquial standing in the language. It is quite useful among friends in familiar conversation and writings of an informal sort. When it is used of one in political control of a district or situation it is slang.

言葉というものは、人々の知性に訴えると同様、感情にも訴える。人々の気持ちをなだめる言葉もあれば、嫌悪や憎悪を呼び起こす言葉もある。

New England に到着した初期の入植者たちは、この新しい土地で masters がいないことを喜んだ。彼らはもう二度と経験しないことを願っている社会的上下関係を思い起こさせる master という語を嫌っていた。

彼らはこの語を使わないでやっていけるうまい方法を見つけた。オランダ語で baas は "master" を意味する。ニューヨークの初期のイギリス人入植者たちはこの語を master の代わりに boss という形で借りた。boss という語はすぐに国内中に広がり、今でも日常で使用されている。

しかしながら気づいて欲しいのは、boss という語が口語的地位以上の地位を確立できていないということだ。友人同士の私的な会話や書面では非常に便利な語だ。地方や情勢の政治的支配にある人を指して使われる時は、それはスラングである。
