吉诺曼姨妈又惊又怕,走来走去,绞着双手,什么也做不了,只会说:“天哪!这怎么可能?”有时她又加上一句:“一切都会被血弄脏的。”最初的惊慌过去之后,她心里产生了一种对处境的某种哲学思考,并化为一句感叹:“事情注定要这样收场!”她并没有像在这种场合下习惯说的那样更进一步:“我早就告诉过你了!”遵照医生的吩咐,在沙发旁边准备了一张行军床。医生检查了马吕斯,发现他的脉搏还在跳动,伤者胸前的伤口并不深,嘴角的血是从鼻孔流出来的,于是让他平躺在床上,不用枕头,头部与身体齐平,甚至略低一些,裸露上身以便于呼吸。吉诺曼小姐看到他们在脱马吕斯的衣服,便退了出去。她回到自己的房间里去念珠祈祷了。

躯干没有受到内伤;一颗子弹被笔记本挡住,偏了方向,沿着他的肋骨绕了一圈,造成一道可怕的裂伤,但深度不大,因此并不危险。长途的地下跋涉使断裂的锁骨完全错位,那里的伤势很严重。手臂上有利刃砍伤。脸上没有一道疤痕;但头上布满了伤口;这些头部伤口会有什么结果?是仅仅停留在发根,还是会伤及大脑?目前还无法断定。一个严重的征兆是它们引起了昏厥,而人并非总能从这种昏厥中恢复过来。此外,伤者因失血过多而虚弱。腰部以下,街垒保护了下半身不受伤害。

As lint was lacking, the doctor, for the time being, arrested the bleeding with layers of wadding. Beside the bed, three candles burned on a table where the case of surgical instruments lay spread out. The doctor bathed Marius' face and hair with cold water. A full pail was reddened in an instant. The porter, candle in hand, lighted them. The doctor seemed to be pondering sadly. From time to time, he made a negative sign with his head, as though replying to some question which he had inwardly addressed to himself.

He stood astonished on the threshold, one hand on the handle of the half-open door, with his head bent a little forward and quivering, his body wrapped in a white dressing-gown, which was straight and as destitute of folds as a winding-sheet; and he had the air of a phantom who is gazing into a tomb.

老人觉轻;吉诺曼先生的卧室紧挨着客厅,尽管采取了所有预防措施,声响还是惊醒了他。他惊讶于门缝下透进来的光线,便从床上起来,摸索着走了过去。他站在门槛上,惊愕不已,一只手搭在半开的门把手上,头微微前倾,瑟瑟发抖,身上裹着一件笔挺的白色睡袍,像寿衣一样毫无褶皱;他看上去就像一个在凝视坟墓的幽灵。

🔊 "I thank you, sir. I am composed, I am a man, I witnessed the death of Louis XVI, I know how to bear events. One thing is terrible and that is to think that it is your newspapers which do all the mischief. You will have scribblers, chatterers, lawyers, orators, tribunes, discussions, progress, enlightenment, the rights of man, the liberty of the press, and this is the way that your children will be brought home to you. Ah! Marius! It is abominable! Killed! Dead before me! A barricade! Ah, the scamp! Doctor, you live in this quarter, I believe? Oh! I know you well. I see your cabriolet pass my window. I am going to tell you. You are wrong to think that I am angry. One does not fly into a rage against a dead man. That would be stupid. This is a child whom I have reared. I was already old while he was very young. He played in the Tuileries garden with his little shovel and his little chair, and in order that the inspectors might not grumble, I stopped up the holes that he made in the earth with his shovel, with my cane. One day he exclaimed: Down with Louis XVIII! and off he went. It was no fault of mine. He was all rosy and blond. His mother is dead. Have you ever noticed that all little children are blond? Why is it so? He is the son of one of those brigands of the Loire, but children are innocent of their fathers' crimes. I remember when he was no higher than that. He could not manage to pronounce his Ds. He had a way of talking that was so sweet and indistinct that you would have thought it was a bird chirping. I remember that once, in front of the Hercules Farnese, people formed a circle to admire him and marvel at him, he was so handsome, was that child! He had a head such as you see in pictures. I talked in a deep voice, and I frightened him with my cane, but he knew very well that it was only to make him laugh. In the morning, when he entered my room, I grumbled, but he was like the sunlight to me, all the same. One cannot defend oneself against those brats. They take hold of you, they hold you fast, they never let you go again. The truth is, that there never was a cupid like that child. Now, what can you say for your Lafayettes, your Benjamin Constants, and your Tirecuir de Corcelles who have killed him? This cannot be allowed to pass in this fashion."

“谢谢您,先生。我冷静了,我是个男子汉,我亲眼目睹了路易十六的死,我知道如何承受事件。有一件事很可怕,那就是想到是你们的报纸造成了所有这些祸害。你们有那些写手、空谈家、律师、演说家、讲坛、讨论、进步、启蒙、人权、新闻自由,于是你们的孩子们就这样被送回家来。啊!马吕斯!这太可憎了!被杀死了!死在我的面前!街垒!啊,这个无赖!医生,您住在这区吧,我相信?哦!我很了解您。我看见您的马车经过我的窗户。我要告诉您。您错了,以为我生气。对一个死人发火是愚蠢的。这是我抚养大的孩子。我很老了的时候他还很小。他在杜伊勒里宫花园里玩他的小铲子和小椅子,为了不让管理员抱怨,我用我的手杖把他用铲子挖的洞填起来。有一天他喊道:‘打倒路易十八!’然后就走了。那不是我的错。他那时红扑扑的,金发碧眼。他母亲已经去世。您有没有注意过,所有的小孩子都是金发碧眼?为什么会这样?他是卢瓦尔河边那些强盗之一的儿子,但孩子们对父亲的罪行是无辜的。我记得他只有那么高的时候。他发不好‘D’这个音。他说话的方式那么甜、那么含糊,你会以为那是一只小鸟在啁啾。我记得有一次,在法尔内塞赫拉克勒斯雕像前,人们围成一圈欣赏他,觉得他很神奇,他太漂亮了,那个孩子!他有一个像画里看到的那种脑袋。我用低沉的声音说话,用手杖吓唬他,但他知道那只是为了逗他笑。早上他进我房间时,我抱怨几句,但他对我来说就像阳光一样。一个人无法抵挡这些小崽子。他们抓住你,紧紧握住你,再也不让你走。事实是,从来没有一个丘比特像那个孩子。现在,你还能为你们的拉法耶特、本雅明·贡斯当、蒂尔屈伊·德·科尔塞勒们说什么?他们杀了他!这件事不能就这样算了。”

🔊 "It is all the same to me, I am going to die too, that I am. And to think that there is not a hussy in Paris who would not have been delighted to make this wretch happy! A scamp who, instead of amusing himself and enjoying life, went off to fight and get himself shot down like a brute! And for whom? Why? For the Republic! Instead of going to dance at the Chaumière, as it is the duty of young folks to do! What's the use of being twenty years old? The Republic, a cursed pretty folly! Poor mothers, beget fine boys, do! Come, he is dead. That will make two funerals under the same carriage gate. So you have got yourself arranged like this for the sake of General Lamarque's handsome eyes! What had that General Lamarque done to you? A slasher! A chatterbox! To get oneself killed for a dead man! If that isn't enough to drive anyone mad! Just think of it! At twenty! And without so much as turning his head to see whether he was not leaving something behind him! That's the way poor, good old fellows are forced to die alone, nowadays. Perish in your corner, owl! Well, after all, so much the better, that is what I was hoping for, this will kill me on the spot. I am too old, I am a hundred years old, I am a hundred thousand years old, I ought, by rights, to have been dead long ago. This blow puts an end to it. So all is over, what happiness! What is the good of making him inhale ammonia and all that parcel of drugs? You are wasting your trouble, you fool of a doctor! Come, he's dead, completely dead. I know all about it, I am dead myself too. He hasn't done things by half. Yes, this age is infamous, infamous and that's what I think of you, of your ideas, of your systems, of your masters, of your oracles, of your doctors, of your scapegraces of writers, of your rascally philosophers, and of all the revolutions which, for the last sixty years, have been frightening the flocks of crows in the Tuileries! But you were pitiless in getting yourself killed like this, I shall not even grieve over your death, do you understand, you assassin?"

“对我来说都一样,我也快要死了,就是这样。想想看,巴黎没有一个荡妇会不愿意让这个坏蛋开心!一个无赖,不去寻欢作乐、享受生活,却跑去打仗,像头畜生一样被射杀!为了谁?为什么?为了共和国!本该像年轻人该做的那样去草屋舞厅跳舞,却不去!二十岁有什么用?可怜的妈妈们,生养漂亮男孩吧!得了,他死了。同一扇车马门下会有两次葬礼。所以你就这样为了拉马克将军漂亮的双眼而把自己搞成这样!那个拉马克将军对你做了什么?一个刽子手!一个空谈家!为一个死人送死!这难道还不够让人发疯吗!想想看!才二十岁!连头都不回一下,看看有没有留下什么!现在,可怜的好老头们就这样被迫独自死去。在你的角落里老死吧,猫头鹰!好吧,说到底,这样更好,这正是我所希望的,这会当场要了我的命。我太老了,我一百岁了,我十万岁了,按理说我早就该死了。这一击让一切都结束了。所以一切都完了,多么幸福啊!让他吸氨气那些乱七八糟的药有什么用?白费力气,你这个傻医生!得了,他死了,完全死了。我全都知道,我自己也死了。他做事从不半途而废。是的,这个时代是可耻的,可耻的,这就是我对你们的、你们的想法、你们的制度、你们的大师、你们的预言家、你们的医生、你们那些流浪汉作家、你们的卑鄙哲学家的看法,还有一切在过去六十年里把杜伊勒里宫里的乌鸦群都吓坏了的革命!但你这样无情地让自己被杀死,我甚至不会为你的死而悲伤,你明白吗,你这个凶手?”
