標題[英中] 天字第一句 (傲慢與偏見)
時間Sun Oct 3 14:30:02 2010
It is a truth universally acknowledged,
that a single man
in possession of a good fortune
must be
in want of a wife.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
有件事實,舉世皆知:單身漢而多金,必定缺個老婆。
有件事是舉世公認的真理:單身漢而有財,想必需要娶妻。
珍姐此句也算 one of the most famous opening lines in the literature world 了
原文不但用字精簡對仗工整,而且充滿 bathos 突降反差的強烈對比與荒唐趣味
機鋒無限,難怪名句~~
