Detailed Explanation & Answer
Statement I: An analogy between the works of an author and the experiences of his life implies that there is a similarity or correspondence between the two.
This means that an author's experiences can be reflected in their works, showing parallels or influences.
Statement II: Describing the works as an "incomplete translation of the life" suggests that while the works reflect the author's life, they do not capture it fully.
This implies that the works are a partial representation, not a complete or exact depiction of the author's experiences.
Both statements can coexist and hence are correct:
The works reflect the author's life (analogy) but are not a full representation (incomplete translation).
