John Stanislaus Joyce

John Stanislaus JoyceJJ's father was an only child born into a reasonably wealthy family in Cork. He left university there without a degree and well provided for financially, enjoyed himself. Having moved to Dublin, in 1877 he invested in a distillery which soon went bankrupt but with income from his Cork properties and a sinecure in Dublin Corporation remained comfortably off. Despite his mother's opposition, he married May Murray, a gentle woman who bore him twelve children. The Joyces moved to the north side of Dublin c.1892 to live a nomadic and increasingly impoverished life after John lost his job and neglected his family. By 1912 they had all left and this gifted, spoiled, and selfish man, lived on his own until 1931. Tim O'Neill

约翰·斯坦尼斯劳斯·乔伊斯（John Stanislaus Joyce）的父亲系科克地区一个家境富裕的单传之子。他于大学期间未能获得学位便提前离校，经济上得到了充分的保障，生活得颇为惬意。1877年，乔伊斯移居都柏林，并投资了一家蒸馏厂，然而该厂不久便宣告破产。尽管如此，凭借科克地产的收入以及在都柏林市议会中担任的闲职，他依然维持着舒适的生活。尽管其母极力反对，他还是与温婉的梅·默里（May Murray）结婚，梅为他生养了十二个孩子。约于1892年，乔伊斯一家搬至都柏林北部，开始了游牧般的生活，家境日益困顿。在约翰失业并忽视家庭之后，到了1912年，他们全部搬离了那里。这位天赋异禀、被宠坏且自私的男子，独自生活直至1931年。Tim O'Neill
