“In one picture, I could read my non-existence in the clothes my mother had worn before I can remember her. There is a kind of (A)stupefaction in seeing a familiar being dressed differently,” writes Roland Barthes in Camera Lucida as he searches through family photographs from before his birth. In that single picture, Barthes tells us, the young child rejoins the frail old woman he nursed through her last illness: “She had become my little girl, uniting for me with that essential child she was in her first photograph.” There he finds his mother’s assertive gentleness, her kindness. There he finds not only his mother but the qualities of their relationship, a (B)congruence between “my mother’s being and my grief at her death.”

밑줄 친 두 단어와 뜻이 가장 가까운 짝은 “astonishment”(깜짝 놀람)와 “accordance”(일치)이다.
“stupefaction”은 멍할 정도의 놀람으로, 익숙한 사람이 다른 옷차림을 한 것을 볼 때의 감정이다. “congruence”는 일치·조화로, 어머니의 존재와 그 죽음에 대한 슬픔이 맞아떨어짐을 뜻한다.
“amazement”(놀람) 짝: “amazement”는 맞지만 “discrepancy”(불일치)는 “congruence”의 반대말이다.
“wonder”(경이) 짝: “distinctiveness”(독특함)가 일치의 뜻이 아니다.
“happiness”(행복) 짝: “harmony”(조화)는 가깝지만 “happiness”가 놀람의 뜻이 아니다.
“contentment”(만족) 짝: “conformance”(부합)는 가깝지만 “contentment”가 놀람의 뜻이 아니다.
