Balzac as Handwriting Expert
手跡專家巴爾扎克
Balzac, the famous French writer, was a man of great talent. But he himself was proud of his ability to tell a person's character by his or her handwriting. He often told his friends that he could tell anybody's character exactly by his handwriting.
法國著名作家巴爾扎克很有才華。但他最自豪的是它能根據(jù)一個人的筆記來斷定其性格。他常對他的朋友說，他能評筆跡準(zhǔn)確地說出任何一個人的品性來。
One day a woman friend brought him a young boy's exercise book. She said that she wanted to know what Balzac thought of the boy's character.
一天，與他相熟的一位女士拿來一本男孩的練習(xí)冊，說他想知道巴爾扎克對這個男孩的看法。
Balzac studied the handwriting carefully for a few minutes. The woman, however, told him the boy was not her son and that he might tell her the truth.
巴爾扎克將筆跡研究了幾分鐘。那女士告訴他這男孩兒并不是他的兒子，因此他可以直言不諱。
"All right," said Balzac. "I shall tell you the truth." And he said that the boy was a bad, lazy fellow.
巴爾扎克說：“好吧。那我就實話實說了。”他說這男孩兒是個又壞又懶的家伙。
"It is very strange." said the woman smiling. "This is a page from your own exercise book, which you used when you were a boy."
“這就奇怪了”那女士微笑道，“這是你小時候用過的練習(xí)本中的一頁。”
