在我们刚刚记述的那些事件过后不久,布拉特吕埃尔先生经历了一次强烈的激动。布拉特吕埃尔先生就是那位蒙费梅伊的修路工,读者早已在这本书的阴郁章节中见过他了。

🔊 Boulatruelle, as the reader may, perchance, recall, was a man who was occupied with divers and troublesome matters. He broke stones and damaged travellers on the highway. Road-mender and thief as he was, he cherished one dream; he believed in the treasures buried in the forest of Montfermeil. He hoped some day to find the money in the earth at the foot of a tree; in the meanwhile, he lived to search the pockets of passersby. Nevertheless, for an instant, he was prudent. He had just escaped neatly. He had been, as the reader is aware, picked up in Jondrette's garret in company with the other ruffians. Utility of a vice: his drunkenness had been his salvation. The authorities had never been able to make out whether he had been there in the quality of a robber or a man who had been robbed. An order of nolle prosequi, founded on his well authenticated state of intoxication on the evening of the ambush, had set him at liberty. He had taken to his heels. He had returned to his road from Gagny to Lagny, to make, under administrative supervision, broken stone for the good of the state, with downcast mien, in a very pensive mood, his ardour for theft somewhat cooled; but he was addicted nonetheless tenderly to the wine which had recently saved him.

读者或许还记得,布拉特吕埃尔是个总在忙些麻烦事的家伙。他一边敲碎石头,一边在公路上打劫行人。既是修路工又是窃贼的他,怀揣着一个梦想:他相信蒙费梅伊森林里埋着宝藏。他盼着有朝一日能在某棵大树脚下的泥土里找到钱;与此同时,他靠搜刮路人的口袋过活。不过,有那么一阵子,他变得谨慎起来。他刚刚侥幸逃脱。正如读者所知,他和别的歹徒一起在容德雷特的阁楼里被逮住了。恶习也有用处:酗酒救了他一命。当局始终无法断定他当时是以强盗身份在场,还是作为被抢劫者。一项基于他伏击当晚确凿无疑的醉酒状态而作出的免予起诉令,让他重获自由。他溜之大吉,回到他那条从加尼通往拉尼的路上,在官府监督下为国家敲碎石块,低眉顺眼,心事重重,偷窃的热情有所冷却;但那份对不久前救了他一命的美酒的爱意,却丝毫未减。

🔊 One morning, Boulatruelle, while on his way as was his wont, to his work, and possibly also to his ambush, a little before daybreak caught sight, through the branches of the trees, of a man, whose back alone he saw, but the shape of whose shoulders, as it seemed to him at that distance and in the early dusk, was not entirely unfamiliar to him. Boulatruelle, although intoxicated, had a correct and lucid memory, a defensive arm that is indispensable to anyone who is at all in conflict with legal order.

一天清晨,布拉特吕埃尔像往常一样去上工--也许也是去设伏--天还没亮,他透过树枝瞥见一个人,只看到背影,但那个肩膀的轮廓,在那种距离和晨光暗淡中,似乎并不完全陌生。布拉特吕埃尔虽然醉醺醺,却有着准确清晰的记忆,这是任何一个与法律秩序稍有冲突的人都不可或缺的防御武器。

他刚走出百来步,天已渐渐破晓,帮了他的忙。沙地上的脚印、此处彼处被踩倒的野草、压碎的石楠、灌木丛中弯下又正以美人醒后伸懒腰时那种优雅从容缓缓直起的嫩枝,为他指明了一条踪迹。他循迹而行,然后又跟丢了。时间在流逝。他深入林中,来到一处高地。远处有个早起的猎人正沿小径吹着《吉耶里》的调子,这让他想到爬上一棵树。

🔊 The man entered, or rather, glided into, an open glade, at a considerable distance, masked by large trees, but with which Boulatruelle was perfectly familiar, on account of having noticed, near a large pile of porous stones, an ailing chestnut-tree bandaged with a sheet of zinc nailed directly upon the bark. This glade was the one which was formerly called the Blaru-bottom. The heap of stones, destined for no one knows what employment, which was visible there thirty years ago, is doubtless still there. Nothing equals a heap of stones in longevity, unless it is a board fence. They are temporary expedients. What a reason for lasting!

那人走进--更确切地说是溜进--远处一片开阔的林间空地,那里有大树遮挡,但布拉特吕埃尔对它再熟悉不过了,因为他曾注意到那儿有一大堆多孔的石头,旁边有棵患病的栗树,树皮上直接钉着一块锌皮。这片空地就是从前被称为“布拉吕洼地”的地方。那堆石头,不知当初要派什么用场,三十年前还看得见,如今想必还在。没有什么比一堆石头更经久的了,除非是木板栅栏。它们本是临时之物,却为何如此长久!

🔊 It was no small matter to reach that glade. By the beaten paths, which indulge in a thousand teasing zigzags, it required a good quarter of an hour. In a beeline, through the underbrush, which is peculiarly dense, very thorny, and very aggressive in that locality, a full half hour was necessary. Boulatruelle committed the error of not comprehending this. He believed in the straight line; a respectable optical illusion which ruins many a man. The thicket, bristling as it was, struck him as the best road.

要抵达那片空地可不容易。走那些蜿蜒曲折、让人恼火的小径,也得花上一刻钟。如果走直线,穿过那儿特别茂密、多刺又扎人的灌木丛,则至少需要半小时。布拉特吕埃尔犯了个错,没明白这一点。他相信直线--这个可敬的视觉错觉毁了很多人。在他看来,那片荆棘丛生的灌木丛反而是最好的路。
