アガサ・クリスティ(1890-1976) The best time to plan a book is while you're doing the dishes. いま「鏡は横にひび割れて」を読んでいる。
P・G・ウッドハウス(1881-1975) There is only one cure for gray hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine. この人の本もそのうち読みます。
トマス・ハーディ(1840-1928) Fear is the mother of foresight. こちらは読む予定はありません。 「恐れこそが洞察の母である」とか訳すべし?。
ついでジョーク2題
1)弁護士の眠り方 How does an attorney sleep? First he lies on one side, and then he lies on the other. ※lie=嘘をつく、と掛けてある。翻訳不能。
2)総合研究所のルール=General Lab Rules
Don't LOOK at anything in a physics lab. Don't TASTE anything in a chemistry lab. Don't SMELL anything in a biology lab. Don't TOUCH anything in a medical lab.
and, most importantly, Don't LISTEN to anything in a philosophy department.
