🔊Monsieur Fauchelevent,” said the grandfather to him, “this is a fine day. I vote for the end of afflictions and sorrows. Henceforth, there must be no sadness anywhere. Pardieu, I decree joy! Evil has no right to exist. That there should be any unhappy men is, in sooth, a disgrace to the azure of the sky. Evil does not come from man, who is good at bottom. All human miseries have for their capital and central government hell, otherwise, known as the Devils Tuileries. Good, here I am uttering demagogical words! As far as I am concerned, I have no longer any political opinions; let all men be rich, that is to say, mirthful, and I confine myself to that.”

🔊 When, at the conclusion of all the ceremonies, after having pronounced before the mayor and before the priest all possibleyesses,” after having signed the registers at the municipality and at the sacristy, after having exchanged their rings, after having knelt side by side under the pall of white moire in the smoke of the censer, they arrived, hand in hand, admired and envied by all, Marius in black, she in white, preceded by the suisse, with the epaulets of a colonel, tapping the pavement with his halberd, between two rows of astonished spectators, at the portals of the church, both leaves of which were thrown wide open, ready to enter their carriage again, and all being finished, Cosette still could not believe that it was real. She looked at Marius, she looked at the crowd, she looked at the sky: it seemed as though she feared that she should wake up from her dream. Her amazed and uneasy air added something indescribably enchanting to her beauty. They entered the same carriage to return home, Marius beside Cosette; M. Gillenormand and Jean Valjean sat opposite them; Aunt Gillenormand had withdrawn one degree, and was in the second vehicle.

当所有仪式结束,在市长和神父面前说完所有可能的“是”,在市政厅和圣器室签过登记簿,交换了戒指,并肩跪在白色波纹绸的天幔下,在香炉的烟雾中之后,他们手挽手走来,受到所有人的羡慕和赞叹,马吕斯穿黑,她穿白,前面由一位佩戴上校肩章、用戟敲击地面的教堂侍卫开路,两侧是两排惊讶的观众。教堂的两扇门大开,他们准备再次登上马车。一切都结束了,珂赛特仍不敢相信这是真的。她看看马吕斯,看看人群,看看天空:仿佛害怕自己从梦中醒来。她那惊讶而不安的神情给她的美貌增添了一种难以形容的魅力。他们登上同一辆马车回家,马吕斯紧挨着珂赛特;吉诺曼先生和冉阿让坐在他们对面;吉诺曼姨妈退了一个等级,坐在第二辆车上。

🔊 These two creatures were resplendent. They had reached that irrevocable and irrecoverable moment, at the dazzling intersection of all youth and all joy. They realized the verses of Jean Prouvaire; they were forty years old taken together. It was marriage sublimated; these two children were two lilies. They did not see each other, they did not contemplate each other. Cosette perceived Marius in the midst of a glory; Marius perceived Cosette on an altar. And on that altar, and in that glory, the two apotheoses mingling, in the background, one knows not how, behind a cloud for Cosette, in a flash for Marius, there was the ideal thing, the real thing, the meeting of the kiss and the dream, the nuptial pillow. All the torments through which they had passed came back to them in intoxication. It seemed to them that their sorrows, their sleepless nights, their tears, their anguish, their terrors, their despair, converted into caresses and rays of light, rendered still more charming the charming hour which was approaching; and that their griefs were but so many handmaidens who were preparing the toilet of joy. How good it is to have suffered! Their unhappiness formed a halo round their happiness. The long agony of their love was terminating in an ascension.

这两个生灵光彩夺目。他们已到达那个不可逆转、无法挽回的时刻,处在所有青春与所有欢乐的耀眼交汇点。他们成就了让·普鲁维尔的诗句;两人加在一起才四十岁。这是升华的婚姻;这两个孩子是两朵百合。他们不看对方,也不凝视对方。珂赛特在荣光中看见马吕斯;马吕斯在祭坛上看见珂赛特。在那祭坛上,那荣光中,两种神化交融,背景中不知怎的,在珂赛特看来有如云雾,在马吕斯看来如一道闪光,那里有理想之物,现实之物,吻与梦的相会,婚床。他们经历过的所有折磨都令人陶醉地涌上心头。他们觉得,他们的悲伤、不眠之夜、眼泪、痛苦、恐惧、绝望,都化成了爱抚和光芒,使得即将到来的迷人时刻更加迷人;他们的痛苦不过是准备欢乐梳妆的众多侍女。受过苦是多么好啊!他们的不幸为他们的幸福形成了一圈光环。他们爱情的漫长痛苦以升华为终结。

The poor, who had trooped to the door, and who shared their purses, blessed them. There were flowers everywhere. The house was no less fragrant than the church; after the incense, roses. They thought they heard voices carolling in the infinite; they had God in their hearts; destiny appeared to them like a ceiling of stars; above their heads they beheld the light of a rising sun. All at once, the clock struck. Marius glanced at Cosettes charming bare arm, and at the rosy things which were vaguely visible through the lace of her bodice, and Cosette, intercepting Mariusglance, blushed to her very hair.

🔊 The dining-room was full of gay things. In the centre, above the white and glittering table, was a Venetian lustre with flat plates, with all sorts of colored birds, blue, violet, red, and green, perched amid the candles; around the chandelier, girandoles, on the walls, sconces with triple and quintuple branches; mirrors, silverware, glassware, plate, porcelain, faïence, pottery, gold and silversmiths work, all was sparkling and gay. The empty spaces between the candelabra were filled in with bouquets, so that where there was not a light, there was a flower.

那把空扶手椅让婚宴的热情瞬间冷却。但是,即使福施勒旺先生缺席,吉诺曼先生在场,外公一个人就抵得上两个人。他断言福施勒旺先生提前退席是明智的,如果他不舒服的话,但那只是一点小恙。这一声明足够了。况且,在如此欢乐的沉浸中,一个阴暗的角落算什么?珂赛特和马吕斯正经历着那种自私而幸福的时刻,此时一个人除了接受幸福之外别无他念。然后,吉诺曼先生想到了一个主意。--“天哪,这把扶手椅空着。过来,马吕斯。你姨妈会允许的,尽管她有权享有你。这把椅子是你的。这既合法又令人愉快。幸运儿坐在幸运女身边。”--全桌鼓掌。马吕斯坐在了珂赛特身边原本属于冉阿让的位置上,事情的结果是,珂赛特起初因冉阿让不在而难过,最后却感到满意。从马吕斯坐下并成为替代者的那一刻起,珂赛特连上帝本人也不会遗憾了。她把穿着白色缎鞋的可爱小脚踏在马吕斯的脚上。

🔊You shall not escape two sermons,” he exclaimed. “This morning you had one from the curé, this evening you shall have one from your grandfather. Listen to me; I will give you a bit of advice: Adore each other. I do not make a pack of gyrations, I go straight to the mark, be happy. In all creation, only the turtledoves are wise. Philosophers say: ‘Moderate your joys.’ I say: ‘Give rein to your joys.’ Be as much smitten with each other as fiends. Be in a rage about it. The philosophers talk stuff and nonsense. I should like to stuff their philosophy down their gullets again. Can there be too many perfumes, too many open rosebuds, too many nightingales singing, too many green leaves, too much aurora in life? Can people love each other too much? Can people please each other too much? Take care, Estelle, thou art too pretty! Have a care, Nemorin, thou art too handsome! Fine stupidity, in sooth! Can people enchant each other too much, cajole each other too much, charm each other too much? Can one be too much alive, too happy? Moderate your joys. Ah, indeed! Down with the philosophers! Wisdom consists in jubilation. Make merry, let us make merry. Are we happy because we are good, or are we good because we are happy? Is the Sancy diamond called the Sancy because it belonged to Harley de Sancy, or because it weighs six hundred carats? I know nothing about it, life is full of such problems; the important point is to possess the Sancy and happiness. Let us be happy without quibbling and quirking. Let us obey the sun blindly. What is the sun? It is love. He who says love, says woman. Ah! ah! behold omnipotence--women. Ask that demagogue of a Marius if he is not the slave of that little tyrant of a Cosette. And of his own free will, too, the coward! Woman! There is no Robespierre who keeps his place but woman reigns. I am no longer Royalist except towards that royalty. What is Adam? The kingdom of Eve. No89 for Eve. There has been the royal sceptre surmounted by a fleur-de-lys, there has been the imperial sceptre surmounted by a globe, there has been the sceptre of Charlemagne, which was of iron, there has been the sceptre of Louis the Great, which was of gold--the revolution twisted them between its thumb and forefinger, hapenny straws; it is done with, it is broken, it lies on the earth, there is no longer any sceptre, but make me a revolution against that little embroidered handkerchief, which smells of patchouli! I should like to see you do it. Try. Why is it so solid? Because it is a gewgaw. Ah! you are the nineteenth century? Well, what then? And we have been as foolish as you. Do not imagine that you have effected much change in the universe, because your trip-gallant is called the cholera-morbus, and because your pourrée is called the cachuca.

“你们逃不掉两场布道,”他大声说,“今天早上你们听了一次教区神父的,今天晚上你们要听一次你们外公的。听我说:我要给你们一点建议:彼此崇拜。我不兜圈子,我直截了当,要快乐。在造物中,只有斑鸠是聪明的。哲学家说:‘节制你们的欢乐。’我说:‘放任你们的欢乐。’要像魔鬼一样彼此迷恋。要为之发狂。哲学家们胡说八道。我很想把他们的哲学再塞回他们的喉咙。生活中能有太多香水、太多盛开的玫瑰花蕾、太多夜莺歌唱、太多绿叶、太多朝霞吗?人们能相爱太多吗?人们能取悦彼此太多吗?当心,埃斯特尔,你太漂亮了!当心,内莫兰,你太英俊了!真是绝妙的愚蠢!人们能彼此魅惑太多、哄骗太多、迷醉太多吗?人能太有活力、太快乐吗?节制你们的欢乐。啊,确实!打倒哲学家!智慧在于欢腾。作乐吧,让我们作乐。我们是因为善良而快乐,还是因为快乐而善良?桑西钻石之所以叫桑西,是因为它属于哈莱·德·桑西,还是因为它重六百克拉?我对此一无所知,生活充满了这样的问题;重要的是拥有桑西和幸福。让我们快乐起来,不要吹毛求疵,不要拐弯抹角。让我们盲目地服从太阳。太阳是什么?是爱。说爱,就是说女人。啊!啊!看那全能--女人。问问那个煽动家马吕斯,他是不是那个小暴君珂赛特的奴隶。而且心甘情愿,这个懦夫!女人!没有哪个罗伯斯庇尔能保住自己的位置,但女人统治。我不再是保皇党,除了对那种王权。亚当是什么?是夏娃的王国。没有为夏娃准备的八九革命。曾经有顶端饰有百合花图案的皇家权杖,曾经有顶端饰有地球的帝国权杖,曾经有查理曼的铁权杖,曾经有路易大帝的金权杖--革命用拇指和食指把它们像半便士的稻草一样拧断了;完了,断了,躺在地上了,再也没有权杖了,但你们来造一场反对那块绣着广藿香气味的小手帕的革命试试!我倒想看看你们做得到。试试看。它为什么那么坚固?因为它是一件小玩意儿。啊!你们是19世纪?那又怎样?我们当年也和你们一样愚蠢。别以为你们对宇宙改变了很多,就因为你们的时髦舞蹈叫霍乱,你们的流行歌曲叫卡秋莎。

🔊 In fact, the women must always be loved. I defy you to escape from that. These friends are our angels. Yes, love, woman, the kiss forms a circle from which I defy you to escape; and, for my own part, I should be only too happy to re-enter it. Which of you has seen the planet Venus, the coquette of the abyss, the Célimène of the ocean, rise in the infinite, calming all here below? The ocean is a rough Alcestis. Well, grumble as he will, when Venus appears he is forced to smile. That brute beast submits. We are all made so. Wrath, tempest, claps of thunder, foam to the very ceiling. A woman enters on the scene, a planet rises; flat on your face! Marius was fighting six months ago; today he is married. That is well. Yes, Marius, yes, Cosette, you are in the right. Exist boldly for each other, make us burst with rage that we cannot do the same, idealize each other, catch in your beaks all the tiny blades of felicity that exist on earth, and arrange yourselves a nest for life. Pardi, to love, to be loved, what a fine miracle when one is young! Dont imagine that you have invented that. I, too, have had my dream, I, too, have meditated, I, too, have sighed; I, too, have had a moonlight soul. Love is a child six thousand years old. Love has the right to a long white beard. Methusalem is a street Arab beside Cupid. For sixty centuries men and women have got out of their scrape by loving. The devil, who is cunning, took to hating man; man, who is still more cunning, took to loving woman. In this way he does more good than the devil does him harm. This craft was discovered in the days of the terrestrial paradise. The invention is old, my friends, but it is perfectly new. Profit by it. Be Daphnis and Chloe, while waiting to become Philemon and Baucis. Manage so that, when you are with each other, nothing shall be lacking to you, and that Cosette may be the sun for Marius, and that Marius may be the universe to Cosette. Cosette, let your fine weather be the smile of your husband; Marius, let your rain be your wifes tears. And let it never rain in your household. You have filched the winning number in the lottery; you have gained the great prize, guard it well, keep it under lock and key, do not squander it, adore each other and snap your fingers at all the rest. Believe what I say to you. It is good sense. And good sense cannot lie. Be a religion to each other. Each man has his own fashion of adoring God. Saperlotte! the best way to adore God is to love ones wife. ‘I love thee!’ thats my catechism. He who loves is orthodox. The oath of Henri IV places sanctity somewhere between feasting and drunkenness. Ventre-saint-gris! I dont belong to the religion of that oath. Woman is forgotten in it. This astonishes me on the part of Henri IV.

实际上,女人永远必须被爱。我量你逃脱不了。这些朋友是我们的天使。是的,爱,女人,亲吻构成了一个圆圈,我量你逃不出去;而就我而言,我反倒非常乐意重新进去。你们谁见过金星--深渊中的卖俏女子,海洋中的塞莉梅娜--在无限中升起,安抚着下方的一切?海洋是个粗鲁的阿尔赛斯特。好啦,他再怎么抱怨,当金星出现时,他也不得不微笑。那头畜生屈服了。我们都被如此造就。愤怒、风暴、雷声、泡沫溅到天花板。一个女人登场,一颗行星升起;脸朝下趴着!马吕斯六个月前还在战斗;今天他结婚了。这很好。是的,马吕斯,是的,珂赛特,你们是对的。大胆地为彼此存在,让我们因不能同样做而气炸,将彼此理想化,用你们的喙叼起人世间所有幸福的小草,为生活筑一个巢。天哪,去爱,被爱,年轻时是多么美好的奇迹!别以为这是你们发明的。我也有过我的梦,我也有过沉思,我也有过叹息;我也有过月光般的灵魂。爱是一个六千岁的孩子。爱有权留长长的白胡子。玛士撒拉在丘比特面前就像个流浪儿。六十个世纪以来,男人和女人通过相爱摆脱困境。魔鬼很狡猾,开始仇恨人;人更加狡猾,开始爱女人。这样,他做的善事比魔鬼对他做的恶事更多。这个伎俩是在人间乐园时发现的。这个发明很古老,朋友们,但它完美地新鲜。利用它。在等待成为菲勒蒙和包喀斯之前,先做达佛涅斯和克洛伊。要做到,当你们在一起时,什么都不缺,珂赛特是马吕斯的太阳,马吕斯是珂赛特的宇宙。珂赛特,让你的晴天是你丈夫的微笑;马吕斯,让你的雨是你妻子的眼泪。愿你的家中从不下雨。你们偷到了彩票中的头奖;你们赢得了大奖,好好珍藏,锁好,不要浪费,彼此崇拜,对其余一切嗤之以鼻。相信我说的。这是良言。良言不会说谎。彼此成为对方的宗教。每个人都有自己的方式崇拜上帝。见鬼!崇拜上帝的最好方式就是爱自己的妻子。‘我爱你!’这就是我的教理问答。爱的人是正统的。亨利四世的誓言把圣洁放在了盛宴与酗酒之间。见鬼!我不属于那个誓言的宗教。其中忘记了女人。这令我感到惊讶,尤其是亨利四世。

我的朋友们,女性万岁!我老了,他们说;奇怪的是,我感到多么想年轻。我真想去树林里听听风笛。那些设法变得美丽和满足的孩子--让我陶醉。我很想结婚,如果有人肯要我的话。无法想象上帝创造我们除了这个目的是为了别的:崇拜、咕咕叫、打扮自己、像鸽子一样、做精致的人、从早到晚谈情说爱、在小妻子身上看到自己的形象、骄傲、得意、自夸;那就是人生的目标。好啦,我们当年年轻时认为的东西,请你们不要见怪。啊!真正的狂欢!那个年代有多少迷人的女人,多么漂亮的小脸蛋,多么可爱的姑娘!我在她们中间留下了我的破坏。那么,彼此相爱吧。如果人们不相爱,我真的不明白春天有什么用;至于我,我会祈求仁慈的上帝把他展示给我们的所有美丽东西都收起来,把花朵、鸟儿和漂亮姑娘从我们这里拿走并放回他的盒子里。我的孩子们,接受一个老人的祝福吧。”

🔊 There should be flashes of light athwart such houses. The joy which they contain ought to make its escape through the stones of the walls in brilliancy, and vaguely illuminate the gloom. It is impossible that this sacred and fatal festival should not give off a celestial radiance to the infinite. Love is the sublime crucible wherein the fusion of the man and the woman takes place; the being one, the being triple, the being final, the human trinity proceeds from it. This birth of two souls into one, ought to be an emotion for the gloom. The lover is the priest; the ravished virgin is terrified. Something of that joy ascends to God. Where true marriage is, that is to say, where there is love, the ideal enters in. A nuptial bed makes a nook of dawn amid the shadows. If it were given to the eye of the flesh to scan the formidable and charming visions of the upper life, it is probable that we should behold the forms of night, the winged unknowns, the blue passers of the invisible, bend down, a throng of sombre heads, around the luminous house, satisfied, showering benedictions, pointing out to each other the virgin wife gently alarmed, sweetly terrified, and bearing the reflection of human bliss upon their divine countenances. If at that supreme hour, the wedded pair, dazzled with voluptuousness and believing themselves alone, were to listen, they would hear in their chamber a confused rustling of wings. Perfect happiness implies a mutual understanding with the angels. That dark little chamber has all heaven for its ceiling. When two mouths, rendered sacred by love, approach to create, it is impossible that there should not be, above that ineffable kiss, a quivering throughout the immense mystery of stars.

这样的房屋应有光芒掠过。它们所包含的欢乐应该从墙壁的石头中闪耀而出,隐约照亮黑暗。这个神圣而命定的节日不可能不向无限放射出天国的光辉。爱是崇高的坩埚,在其中发生男人与女人的融合;合一的存在,三位一体的存在,最终的存在,人类的三位一体由此产生。两个灵魂诞生成一个,应当是对黑暗的一种情感。情人是祭司;被夺走的贞女感到恐惧。这种欢乐的一部分升向上帝。哪里有真正的婚姻,也就是说,哪里有爱,哪里就有理想进入。一张婚床在阴影中造就了一角黎明。如果肉眼得以审视上层生活那些可怕而迷人的景象,我们很可能看到黑夜的形象、有翼的未知者、不可见的蓝色过客,在发光的房屋周围弯下腰,一群阴沉的脑袋,感到满足,洒下祝福,彼此指点着那位被轻惊、甜美惊恐的新娘妻子,在她神圣的面容上承载着人类幸福的反射。如果在那个至高时刻,新婚夫妇被肉欲迷醉,以为只有他们自己,侧耳倾听,他们会听到房间里一片混乱的翅膀沙沙声。完美的幸福意味着与天使的默契。那黑暗的小房间以整个天空为天花板。当两张被爱情神圣化的嘴唇靠近以创造时,在那个不可言喻的亲吻之上,不可能不在浩瀚星辰的奥秘中引起一阵颤抖。
