The examples of his humorous and pungent irony

His skin is not healthy, the lack of a natural pigment, if he was cut, perhaps even the flow of blood is white. 他的皮肤是不健康的，缺少了自然的色素，如果他被刀割了 以后，可能连流出来的血也是白的。（《艰难时世》） He doesn‘t have much hair, you probably thought it was because he talked too much and makes hair turn away, leaving it a bit disorganized and pricked up, also because of his strong wind wafted, put them into the same. 他没有多少头发，你可能以为是由于他谈话谈得太多而把头 发谈掉了，剩下来的那一点儿杂乱无章地竖了起来，也是由 于他那大风似的吹劲儿，把它们吹成那个样子的。 （《艰难时世》）

His Life Experience :
Dickens was born on February 7,1812, in Portsmouth and spent most of his childhood in London and Kent, both of which appear frequently in his novels. His father, a poor clerk in the Navy Pay office, was put into prison for debt when young Charles was only 12 years old. He had to give up schooling to work in a underground cellar. His bitter experience was reflected in many of Dickens's novels. In 1827,Charles entered in a lawyer's office, and two year’s later, he become a Parliamentary reporter for newspapers. From1833,Dickens began to write occasional sketches of London life, which were later collected and published under the title Sketches by Boz.
