It is to her that beckett 's humour-there in his plays , under it all-finally surfaces , even if it is a certain type of misanthropic comedy : " I 've been reading in your grand baudelaire and the holy bible the story of the flood and wishing the almighty had never had a soft spot for noah . "

对于她，贝克特展露了戏剧中的幽默，不管是深层的还是最终一览无余的幽默，甚至是在悲观厌世一类的喜剧里：“我已经读了你宏伟的波德莱尔和圣经中洪水的故事，希望上帝从未对诺亚情有独钟。”
