Eng->Ru abdication
Dec. 24th, 2010 01:08 amНикак не могу понять, почему это предположительно смешно.
Приводится подпись под карикатурой:
The Old Self and the Young Self; Cosmo Gordon Long. What are they saying? Young Self: I really can’t decide whether to go on the Stage or into the Church. Both provide such opportunities. . . Old Self: You made the right choice; the Church gave me a role in a real Abdication.
Вот что говорит википедия по поводу Космо Гордона Ланга (не Лонга), но это как-то не проясняет ситуацию:
"William Cosmo Gordon Lang, 1st Baron Lang of Lambeth, GCVO, PC (31 October 1864 – 5 December 1945), was an Anglican prelate who served as Archbishop of York (1908–1928) and Archbishop of Canterbury (1928–1942). His rapid elevation to Archbishop of York, within 18 years of his ordination, is unprecedented in modern Church of England history. As Archbishop of Canterbury during the abdication crisis of 1936 he took a strong moral stance and comments he made in a subsequent broadcast were widely condemned as uncharitable towards the departed king."
Или я ищу черную кошку там, где ее нет, и он просто говорит, что священный сан позволил ему присутствовать при настоящем отречении от трона? Заранее спасибо.
