Little Dorrit 第2章 金的翻譯比較不理想的是他對CD小說世界中重要的字眼 BEADLE解釋太簡單
他可不只是━━ n. 〔英〕 （教区の）役人;....我想讀其他小說如Oliver Twist或看電影 當可了解他們如何盛裝(a beadle in full fig, 這in full fig,辭典可找到 不宜直稱為"神氣十足" )威風十足欺人.....
'Then,' said Mr Meagles, laying his forefinger on his companion's breast with great animation, 'don't you see a beadle, now, if you can help it. Whenever I see a beadle in full fig, coming down a street on a Sunday at the head of a charity school, I am obliged to turn and run away, or I should hit him. The name of Beadle being out of the question, and the originator of the Institution for these poor foundlings having been a blessed creature of the name of Coram, we gave that name to Pet's little maid. At one time she was Tatty, and at one time she was Coram, until we got into a way of mixing the two names together, and now she is always Tattycoram.'
