🔊 Lieutenant Théodule was absolutely put out of countenance by this unexpected encounter with a sepulchre; he experienced a singular and disagreeable sensation which he was incapable of analyzing, and which was composed of respect for the tomb, mingled with respect for the colonel. He retreated, leaving Marius alone in the cemetery, and there was discipline in this retreat. Death appeared to him with large epaulets, and he almost made the military salute to him. Not knowing what to write to his aunt, he decided not to write at all; and it is probable that nothing would have resulted from the discovery made by Théodule as to the love affairs of Marius, if, by one of those mysterious arrangements which are so frequent in chance, the scene at Vernon had not had an almost immediate counter-shock at Paris.

忒奥杜勒中尉被这意外的墓地邂逅彻底搅乱了心神；他感到一种奇异而不快的感觉,无法分析,其中混杂着对坟墓的敬畏和对上校的敬意。他退后,留下马吕斯独自在墓园里,这撤退中自有章法。死神在他眼中配上宽大的肩章,他几乎要向它行军礼。他不知道该给姑妈写些什么,最后决定索性不写；而且,要不是命运中常有那种神秘的安排,忒奥杜勒发现马吕斯恋情一事很可能毫无结果--除非韦尔农的那一幕在巴黎几乎立即引起了反震。

Do you hear me, Marius! See here, you are no more a baron than my slipper is! They were all bandits in the service of Robespierre! All who served Buonaparte were brigands! They were all traitors who betrayed, betrayed, betrayed their legitimate king! All cowards who fled before the Prussians and the English at Waterloo! That is what I do know!

🔊 In his turn, it was Marius who was the firebrand and M. Gillenormand who was the bellows. Marius quivered in every limb, he did not know what would happen next, his brain was on fire. He was the priest who beholds all his sacred wafers cast to the winds, the fakir who beholds a passerby spit upon his idol. It could not be that such things had been uttered in his presence. What was he to do? His father had just been trampled under foot and stamped upon in his presence, but by whom? By his grandfather. How was he to avenge the one without outraging the other? It was impossible for him to insult his grandfather and it was equally impossible for him to leave his father unavenged. On the one hand was a sacred grave, on the other hoary locks.

这一下,轮到马吕斯当火炭,吉诺曼先生当风箱了。马吕斯四肢颤抖,他不知道接下来会发生什么,他的脑子像着了火。他就像一位神父,眼看着自己所有的圣饼被抛散到风中；一个苦行僧,眼看着一个路人朝他的神像吐唾沫。他竟然亲耳听到这种话！他该怎么办？他的父亲就在他面前被践踏、被跺脚,可践踏他的人是谁？是他的祖父。他如何能既不冒犯祖父,又为父亲报仇？他不可能辱骂祖父,同样不可能不为父亲雪耻。一边是神圣的坟墓,另一边是苍苍白发。

🔊 The old man, who had been crimson, turned whiter than his hair. He wheeled round towards a bust of M. le Duc de Berry, which stood on the chimneypiece, and made a profound bow, with a sort of peculiar majesty.

老人刚才还是深红色,现在变得比头发还白。他转过身,朝着壁炉架上贝里公爵的半身像深深鞠了一躬,带着一种奇特的庄严。然后他缓缓地、沉默地走了两趟,从壁炉到窗户,再从窗户到壁炉,走完整个房间,使打蜡地板吱吱作响,仿佛一尊石像在行走。

🔊 Marius, on his side, had gone forth in indignation. There was one circumstance which, it must be admitted, aggravated his exasperation. There are always petty fatalities of the sort which complicate domestic dramas. They augment the grievances in such cases, although, in reality, the wrongs are not increased by them. While carrying Marius' "duds" precipitately to his chamber, at his grandfather's command, Nicolette had, inadvertently, let fall, probably, on the attic staircase, which was dark, that medallion of black shagreen which contained the paper penned by the colonel. Neither paper nor case could afterwards be found. Marius was convinced that "Monsieur Gillenormand"--from that day forth he never alluded to him otherwise--had flung "his father's testament" in the fire. He knew by heart the few lines which the colonel had written, and, consequently, nothing was lost. But the paper, the writing, that sacred relic--all that was his very heart. What had been done with it?

马吕斯这边则愤然离去。必须承认,有一件事加剧了他的愤怒。这类家庭戏剧中总有些小小的不幸情节使其复杂化。它们虽不增加实际的伤害,却加剧了怨恨。当妮可莱特遵祖父之命急急忙忙把马吕斯的“破烂”搬回他房间时,大概在黑暗的阁楼楼梯上不小心弄掉了那个装着上校手书的黑色鲨鱼皮盒子。后来无论纸还是盒子都没找到。马吕斯深信“吉诺曼先生”--从那以后他再没用别的称呼--已把“他父亲的遗嘱”扔进了火里。上校写的几行字他倒背如流,所以内容并未遗失。但那张纸、那笔迹、那圣物--那是他的命根子。它们到底被怎么样了？
