🔊 Marius was, in fact, a prisoner. The hand which had seized him from behind and whose grasp he had felt at the moment of his fall and his loss of consciousness was that of Jean Valjean.

马吕斯实际上已成了俘虏。在他倒下并失去知觉的那一刻,那只从背后抓住他、被他感觉到的手,正是冉阿让的手。

🔊 Jean Valjean had taken no other part in the combat than to expose himself in it. Had it not been for him, no one, in that supreme phase of agony, would have thought of the wounded. Thanks to him, everywhere present in the carnage, like a providence, those who fell were picked up, transported to the taproom, and cared for. In the intervals, he reappeared on the barricade. But nothing which could resemble a blow, an attack or even personal defence proceeded from his hands. He held his peace and lent succor. Moreover, he had received only a few scratches. The bullets would have none of him. If suicide formed part of what he had meditated on coming to this sepulchre, to that spot, he had not succeeded. But we doubt whether he had thought of suicide, an irreligious act.

冉阿让在这场战斗中,除了将自己暴露在危险中外,没有采取其他行动。若非有他,在那最后那般惨烈的时刻,根本不会有人想到那些伤员。多亏了他,他如同天意般出现在屠场的每一处,倒下的人被扶起、运到酒馆里照料。在间歇时,他又会出现在街垒上。但他手中从未有过类似打击、攻击乃至自卫的动作。他保持沉默,只提供援助。此外,他也不过受了几处擦伤。子弹都避开了他。如果自杀是他来到这坟墓般的地方所盘算的一部分,那他并未如愿。不过我们怀疑他是否想过自杀--那是不敬神的行为。

冉阿让在战斗的浓雾中似乎并未看见马吕斯;但事实上,他的目光从未离开过后者。当一颗子弹将马吕斯击倒时,冉阿让以猛虎般的敏捷跃上前,扑向他如同扑向猎物,将他带走。那时,攻击的旋风正猛烈地集中在安灼拉和酒馆门口,没人看见冉阿让扶着昏迷的马吕斯穿过街垒那片未铺砌的场地,消失在科林斯建筑物的拐角后面。

🔊 The reader will recall this angle which formed a sort of cape on the street; it afforded shelter from the bullets, the grapeshot, and all eyes, and a few square feet of space. There is sometimes a chamber which does not burn in the midst of a conflagration, and in the midst of raging seas, beyond a promontory or at the extremity of a blind alley of shoals, a tranquil nook. It was in this sort of fold in the interior trapezium of the barricade, that Éponine had breathed her last.

读者记得这个拐角在街上形成了一种岬角;它提供了躲避子弹、葡萄弹以及所有视线的庇护,还有几平方英尺的空间。有时在熊熊大火中会有一间不燃烧的房间,在汹涌的海面上,在一个岬角之外或暗礁迷宫的尽头,会有一处宁静的角落。正是在街垒内部梯形结构的这种褶皱中,爱潘妮咽下了最后一口气。

有那么一瞬,或许两三秒,这墙脚提供了掩护,但如何逃离这场屠杀?他想起了八年前在波隆索街经历的那份煎熬,以及他是如何设法逃脱的;那时已经很难,今日则根本不可能。他面前是那栋聋哑般无情的六层楼房,似乎只住着一个探出窗外的死人;他右边是相当低矮的街垒,挡住了小丐帮街;越过这一障碍似乎容易,但壁垒顶部后面可见一排刺刀。正规军就守在那道街垒后面。显然,翻越街垒就是去迎接排枪的火力,任何胆敢从这石墙顶上探出的脑袋都会成为六十发子弹的靶子。他左边是战场。死亡就藏在墙角的后面。

🔊 By dint of staring, something vaguely striking in such an agony began to assume form and outline at his feet, as though it had been a power of glance which made the thing desired unfold. A few paces distant he perceived, at the base of the small barrier so pitilessly guarded and watched on the exterior, beneath a disordered mass of paving-stones which partly concealed it, an iron grating, placed flat and on a level with the soil. This grating, made of stout, transverse bars, was about two feet square. The frame of paving-stones which supported it had been torn up, and it was, as it were, unfastened. Through the bars a view could be had of a dark aperture, something like the flue of a chimney, or the pipe of a cistern. Jean Valjean darted forward. His old art of escape rose to his brain like an illumination. To thrust aside the stones, to raise the grating, to lift Marius, who was as inert as a dead body, upon his shoulders, to descend, with this burden on his loins, and with the aid of his elbows and knees into that sort of well, fortunately not very deep, to let the heavy trap, upon which the loosened stones rolled down afresh, fall into its place behind him, to gain his footing on a flagged surface three metres below the surface--all this was executed like that which one does in dreams, with the strength of a giant and the rapidity of an eagle; this took only a few minutes.

在凝视之下,某种在如此绝境中隐约触动视觉的东西在他脚下开始成形、显露出轮廓,仿佛目光的力量让渴望之物显现出来。几歩之外,他注意到在那道被无情守卫和外部监视的小壁垒的底部,在一堆散乱的铺路石下面(部分遮盖着它),有一个铁格栅,平放在地面上,与地表齐平。这格栅由粗壮的横条制成,大约两尺见方。支撑它的铺路石框已被撬松,格栅似乎没有固定。从栅条间可以看到一个黑暗的洞口,像是烟囱的烟道或蓄水池的管道。冉阿让冲上前去。他昔日逃生的技艺如照明般涌上脑海。推开石头,抬起格栅,将如同尸体般不动的马吕斯扛上肩,用肘和膝支撑着,背负着这重担下到那像井一般的地方--幸好不很深--然后让那沉重的活板门(松动的石头重新滚落其上)在身后落回原位,最终在距地面三米深处的铺石地面上站稳--这一切执行得像梦中所为,带着巨人的力量和鹰隼的速度;这仅仅花了短短几分钟。
