Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 4

English → Korean BY THE AUTHOR PREFACE Level 7/10

They say he is like Fielding: they talk of his wit, humour, comic powers.

사람들은 그가 필딩과 닮았다고 말한다: 그의 재치, 유머, 희극적 능력에 대해 이야기한다.

He resembles Fielding as an eagle does a vulture: Fielding could stoop on carrion, but Thackeray never does.

그는 독수리가 대머리수리를 닮은 것처럼 필딩을 닮았다: 필딩은 썩은 고기에 몸을 낮출 수 있었지만, 새커리는 결코 그러지 않는다.

His wit is bright, his humour attractive, but both bear the same relation to his serious genius that the mere lambent sheet-lightning playing under the edge of the summer-cloud does to the electric death-spark hid in its womb.

그의 재치는 빛나고, 그의 유머는 매력적이지만, 둘 다 그의 진지한 천재성과의 관계는, 여름 구름의 가장자리 아래에서 일렁이는 단순한 시트번개가 그 태내에 숨겨진 전기적 죽음의 불꽃과 맺는 관계와 같다.

Finally, I have alluded to Mr. Thackeray, because to him—if he will accept the tribute of a total stranger—I have dedicated this second edition of "JANE EYRE.

마지막으로, 나는 새커리 씨를 언급하였는데, 왜냐하면 그에게—만약 그가 전혀 모르는 사람의 헌사를 받아들인다면—나는 이 «제인 에어»의 제2판을 헌정하였기 때문이다.
