回复:A Bit of Jeeves and Wooster

取消只看楼主收藏回复

Now, those who know me, if you ask them, will tell you that I*m a chump. My Aunt Agatha would testify to this effect. So would my Uncle Percy and many more of my nearest and – if you like to use the expression – dearest. Well, I don*t mind. I admit it. I am a chump. But what I do say – and I should like to lay the greatest possible stress on this – is that every now and then, just when the populace has given up hope that I will ever show any real human intelligence – I get what it is idle to pretend is not an inspiration. And that*s what happened now. I doubt if the idea that came to me at this juncture whould have occurred to a single one of any dozen of the largest-brained blokes in history. Napoleon might have got it, but I*ll bet Darwin and Shakespeare and Thomas Hardy wouldn*t have thought of it in a thousand years.

Hahahahahahaha

    I tapped her on the arm with a grave forefinger.
    "Nobby," I said, "there has been a bit of mix-up. What*s that word that begins with *con*?"
    "Con?"
    "I*ve heard Jeeves use it. There*s a cat in it somewhere."
    "What on earth are you drivelling about?"
    "Concatenation," I sadi, getting it. "Owing to an unfortunate concatenation of circumstances, Stilton is viwing me with concern. He has got the idea rooted in his bean that I*ve come down here to try to steal Florence from him."
    ======================
    concatenation, lol

      "You don*t mean you have an idea?"
      "Yes, sir."
      "But you told me just now you hadn*t."
      "Yes, sir. But since then have been giving the matter some thought, and am now in a position to say *Eureka!*"
      "Say what?|
      "Eureka, sir. Like Archimedes."
      "Did he say Eureka? I thought it was Shakespeare."

          Aromanticism in Jeeves and Wooster
          http://anagnori.tumblr.com/post/70828701340/aromanticism-in-jeeves-and-wooster
          这篇文章让我彻底明白为什么我通常不喜欢romantic小说,却狂热地爱上了P.G. Wodehouse的"romantic comedy"风格的小说,原来P.G. Wodehouse小说中的人物,特别是我最喜欢的Bertie Wooster,本质上是aromantic的,难怪Bertie Wooster和Wodehouse本人能强烈地引发我的共鸣感(以前就觉得除了他们good-natured的性格,一定还有其他与众不同吸引我的东西)。
          也因同样的原因,我一直不喜欢将Bertie和Jeeves配对(以前以为自己不喜欢这两人成为CP的原因是Jeeves控制欲太强了,不喜欢这样的情侣关系)。不过那么多人都把Jeeves and Wooster当作同性恋小说来看,只能无可奈何,绝大多数人都觉得一个人没有爱情的感觉不可理喻(即使有些人能理解asexual)。叹气……

            三个关于Bertie取向问题的讨论,看来读者中认为Bertie是gay和认为Bertie是aro-ace的人都各有相当比例

            这两篇文章都提到了Wodehouse本人是asexual(也许aro)。而Bertie Wooster这个角色在性格上有许多他本人的投影。

              虽然Wodehouse及其他笔下的角色是asexual,但居然有三位Wodehouse小说人物被排进了这个榜:111 Male Characters Of British Literature, In Order Of Bangability
