Je ne comprends pas le sens de ce paragraphe. Puis-je avoir de l'aide ?


"We don’t know where we belong, but in times of sorrow, it doesn’t seem to be here, here with these silly pansies and witless mountains, here with sponges and hard-eyed birds. In times of sorrow, the innocence of other creatures—from whom and with whom we evolved—seems a mockery. Their ways are not our ways. We seem set among them as among lifelike props for a tragedy—or a broad lampoon—on a thrust rock stage."

    Bonsoir !

    J'espère sincèrement que le délai ne t'aura causé aucun désagrément.

    Je te suggère de comprendre le contexte, de chercher la définition des mots, comme "sorrow", "broad", "lampoon", et de débrousailler le sens des mots. Tu vois que c'est une métaphore sur les problèmes de l'existence humaine.

    Pour avoir une meilleure idée, je te présente un lien qui discute de ce texte :

    J'espère que le tout te soit utile !
