A wonderful creature, but too much of a born actress to take quite seriously.
行方訳
すばらしい人だけど、生まれついての女優の才能がありすぎて、あまり物事を真面目に考え
ることができないようね
これあってる？美女グラディスのこと書いてて、以下の英文に出て来る文の訳なんだけど
このセリフは美術批評家ベレンソンの奥さんのグラディス批評で、
so changeful in a hundred moodsとかactressもあるし、takeが他動詞とすると
直訳で（グラディス）を真に受けられないみたいにならん？
英語青年って雑誌の英文解釈用に原文少々変更されてる気がする
At 16, with a beauty made disturbing by her blazing blue eyes, she was already a siren.
Her conversation shone, her profile was just short of perfection. She had many admirers
during her 25-year campaign to marry Marlborough when he and Consuelo were
divorced. The art critic Bernard Berenson was mesmerized by the teen-age Gladys, and
his wife, though jealous, felt the same.
"She is radiant and sphinxlike,” she wrote, “enchanting, but tiring. A wonderful creature,
but too much of a born actress to take quite seriously. But so beautiful, so graceful, so
changeful in a hundred moods, so brilliant that it is enough to turn anyone's head."
