城市的痉挛与灵魂的起义相比,又算得了什么?人的深度比民众更甚。此时此刻,冉阿让正被一场可怕的巨变所吞噬。他内心的每一种深渊都重新裂开。他也像巴黎一样,在一种阴晦而可畏的革命边缘战栗。几个小时就足以酿成这一切。他的命运和良心突然笼罩在黑暗之中。关于他,也如同关于巴黎,人们可以说:“两种原则正面对峙。白天使与黑天使即将在深渊的桥上互相搏斗。哪一个会把另一个抛下去?哪一方将获胜?”

🔊 On the evening preceding this same 5th of June, Jean Valjean, accompanied by Cosette and Toussaint had installed himself in the Rue de l'Homme Armé. A change awaited him there. Cosette had not quitted the Rue Plumet without making an effort at resistance. For the first time since they had lived side by side, Cosette's will and the will of Jean Valjean had proved to be distinct, and had been in opposition, at least, if they had not clashed. There had been objections on one side and inflexibility on the other. The abrupt advice: "Leave your house," hurled at Jean Valjean by a stranger, had alarmed him to the extent of rendering him peremptory. He thought that he had been traced and followed. Cosette had been obliged to give way. Both had arrived in the Rue de l'Homme Armé without opening their lips, and without uttering a word, each being absorbed in his own personal preoccupation; Jean Valjean so uneasy that he did not notice Cosette's sadness, Cosette so sad that she did not notice Jean Valjean's uneasiness.

就在同年6月5日的傍晚,冉阿让由珂赛特和杜桑陪同,住进了武装人街。在那里等待着他的是一个变故。珂赛特离开普吕梅街时并非没有抵抗。自从他们相依为命以来,珂赛特的意志和冉阿让的意志第一次显示出分歧,并且发生了对立--至少没有冲突。一面是反对,另一面是固执。那突如其来的忠告:“离开你的房子!”由一个陌生人掷向冉阿让,使他惊恐到专横的地步。他以为自己已被盯梢和追踪。珂赛特不得不让步。两人来到武装人街,都一言不发,各自沉浸在自己的心事里:冉阿让如此不安,以致没有注意到珂赛特的悲伤;珂赛特如此悲伤,以致没有注意到冉阿让的不安。

🔊 Jean Valjean had taken Toussaint with him, a thing which he had never done in his previous absences. He perceived the possibility of not returning to the Rue Plumet, and he could neither leave Toussaint behind nor confide his secret to her. Besides, he felt that she was devoted and trustworthy. Treachery between master and servant begins in curiosity. Now Toussaint, as though she had been destined to be Jean Valjean's servant, was not curious. She stammered in her peasant dialect of Barneville: "I am made so; I do my work; the rest is no affair of mine."

冉阿让带上了杜桑,这是他在以往外出时从未做过的事。他意识到可能不会返回普吕梅街,又不能把杜桑丢下,也不能向她透露自己的秘密。况且,他觉得她忠诚可靠。主仆之间的背叛始于好奇。而杜桑,仿佛天生就是冉阿让的仆人,从不好奇。她用巴纳维尔农妇的口音结结巴巴地说:“我生来如此;我做我的活儿,其余的事与我无关。”

🔊 In this departure from the Rue Plumet, which had been almost a flight, Jean Valjean had carried away nothing but the little embalmed valise, baptized by Cosette "the inseparable." Full trunks would have required porters, and porters are witnesses. A fiacre had been summoned to the door on the Rue de Babylone, and they had taken their departure. It was with difficulty that Toussaint had obtained permission to pack up a little linen and clothes and a few toilet articles. Cosette had taken only her portfolio and her blotting-book. Jean Valjean, with a view to augmenting the solitude and the mystery of this departure, had arranged to quit the pavilion of the Rue Plumet only at dusk, which had allowed Cosette time to write her note to Marius. They had arrived in the Rue de l'Homme Armé after night had fully fallen.

在这次几乎等于逃离的迁出普吕梅街行动中,冉阿让只带走了那个被珂赛特称为“形影不离”的小型香樟木旅行箱。装满的大箱子需要脚夫,而脚夫就是证人。他们在巴比伦街门口叫了一辆马车,便出发了。杜桑费了好大劲才获准收拾了一点内衣、衣物和几件梳妆用品。珂赛特只带了她的文件夹和吸墨纸簿。冉阿让为了增加这次出走的孤寂感和神秘感,安排只在黄昏时分离开普吕梅街的凉亭,这正好让珂赛特有时间给马吕斯写信。他们在夜色完全降临后到达了武装人街。

🔊 People re-acquire confidence as foolishly as they lose it; human nature is so constituted. Hardly had Jean Valjean reached the Rue de l'Homme Armé when his anxiety was lightened and by degrees dissipated. There are soothing spots which act in some sort mechanically on the mind. An obscure street, peaceable inhabitants. Jean Valjean experienced an indescribable contagion of tranquillity in that alley of ancient Paris, which is so narrow that it is barred against carriages by a transverse beam placed on two posts, which is deaf and dumb in the midst of the clamorous city, dimly lighted at midday, and is, so to speak, incapable of emotions between two rows of lofty houses centuries old, which hold their peace like ancients as they are. There was a touch of stagnant oblivion in that street. Jean Valjean drew his breath once more there. How could he be found there?

人们重新获得信心,和失去信心一样愚蠢;人的天性就是如此。冉阿让一到达武装人街,他的焦虑便减轻了,并逐渐消散。有些令人平静的地方,会对精神产生某种机械的影响。一条僻静的街道,和睦的居民。在那条古老的巴黎小巷里,冉阿让体验到一种难以言喻的宁静的感染力--这条巷子如此狭窄,以至于在两端的柱子之间横着一根横梁,禁止马车通行;它在喧嚣的城市中又聋又哑,中午时分光线昏暗,可以说,在两侧数百年历史的高楼之间,它像老人一样沉默,毫无情感。这条街上弥漫着一种停滞的遗忘。冉阿让在这里重新得以呼吸。人们怎么可能找到这里?

他的第一件事就是把“形影不离”放在身边。

🔊 He slept well. Night brings wisdom; we may add, night soothes. On the following morning he awoke in a mood that was almost gay. He thought the dining-room charming, though it was hideous, furnished with an old round table, a long sideboard surmounted by a slanting mirror, a dilapidated armchair, and several plain chairs which were encumbered with Toussaint's packages. In one of these packages Jean Valjean's uniform of a National Guard was visible through a rent.

他睡得很好。夜晚带来智慧;我们还可以补充说:夜晚带来安宁。第二天早上,他醒来时心情几乎是愉快的。他觉得餐厅很可爱,尽管它其实很难看:一张旧圆桌,一个长边柜,上面斜挂着一面镜子,一把破旧的扶手椅,还有几把普通椅子,上面堆满了杜桑的包裹。从其中一个包裹的破缝里,可以看见冉阿让的国民自卫军制服。

🔊 While he was discussing this modest dinner, he had, twice or thrice, noticed in a confused way, Toussaint's stammering words as she said to him: "Monsieur, there is something going on, they are fighting in Paris." But absorbed in a throng of inward calculations, he had paid no heed to it. To tell the truth, he had not heard her. He rose and began to pace from the door to the window and from the window to the door, growing ever more serene. With this calm, Cosette, his sole anxiety, recurred to his thoughts. Not that he was troubled by this headache, a little nervous crisis, a young girl's fit of sulks, the cloud of a moment, there would be nothing left of it in a day or two; but he meditated on the future, and, as was his habit, he thought of it with pleasure. After all, he saw no obstacle to their happy life resuming its course. At certain hours, everything seems impossible, at others everything appears easy; Jean Valjean was in the midst of one of these good hours. They generally succeed the bad ones, as day follows night, by virtue of that law of succession and of contrast which lies at the very foundation of nature, and which superficial minds call antithesis. In this peaceful street where he had taken refuge, Jean Valjean got rid of all that had been troubling him for some time past. This very fact, that he had seen many shadows, made him begin to perceive a little azure. To have quitted the Rue Plumet without complications or incidents was one good step already accomplished. Perhaps it would be wise to go abroad, if only for a few months, and to set out for London. Well, they would go. What difference did it make to him whether he was in France or in England, provided he had Cosette beside him? Cosette was his nation. Cosette sufficed for his happiness; the idea that he, perhaps, did not suffice for Cosette's happiness, that idea which had formerly been the cause of his fever and sleeplessness, did not even present itself to his mind. He was in a state of collapse from all his past sufferings, and he was fully entered on optimism. Cosette was by his side, she seemed to be his; an optical illusion which everyone has experienced. He arranged in his own mind, with all sorts of felicitous devices, his departure for England with Cosette, and he beheld his felicity reconstituted wherever he pleased, in the perspective of his reverie.

当他享用这顿简陋的晚餐时,有两三回隐隐约约地注意到杜桑结结巴巴地对他说:“先生,外面出事了,巴黎在打仗呢。”但他沉浸在一大堆内心的盘算中,没有在意。说实话,他根本没听见她的话。他站起身来,开始在门与窗户之间来回踱步,越来越平静。在这种平静中,他唯一焦虑的对象--珂赛特--又浮现在他心头。并非他担心那头疼、那一点神经质危机、那少女的赌气、那转瞬即逝的阴云--过一两天就会没事的;而是他在思量未来,像往常一样,带着愉悦的心情。毕竟,他看不出有什么障碍会阻碍他们幸福的生活继续下去。在某些时刻,一切似乎都不可能;在另一些时刻,一切又似乎都很容易;冉阿让正处在后一种好时刻。它们通常继坏时刻之后而来,如同白天继黑夜之后,这是大自然根基中的连续和对比规律,肤浅之人称之为对立。在这条他避难的宁静街道上,冉阿让摆脱了最近一段时间困扰他的一切。正是因为他看到了太多阴影,才开始看见一丝蔚蓝。离开普吕梅街没有发生任何复杂或意外,已经是成功的一步。也许明智之举是出国,哪怕只几个月,动身去伦敦。好吧,他们就去。只要有珂赛特在身边,他在法国还是在英国,又有什么区别?珂赛特就是他的民族。珂赛特足以使他幸福;至于他也许不足以使珂赛特幸福--这个曾经使他发烧失眠的想法,甚至没有出现在他脑海里。他从过去的种种痛苦中解脱出来,完全沉浸在乐观之中。珂赛特就在他身边,她似乎属于他;这是每个人都经历过的视觉幻象。他在脑海中用各种如意算盘安排着带珂赛特去英国的行程,并在遐想的远景中看到自己的幸福得以重建。

🔊 Little by little, his perceptions became more precise; he looked at Cosette's blotting-book, and the consciousness of the reality returned to him. He caught up the blotter and said: "It comes from there." He feverishly examined the four lines imprinted on the blotter, the reversal of the letters converted into an odd scrawl, and he saw no sense in it. Then he said to himself: "But this signifies nothing; there is nothing written here." And he drew a long breath with inexpressible relief. Who has not experienced those foolish joys in horrible instants? The soul does not surrender to despair until it has exhausted all illusions.

渐渐地,他的感知变得清晰;他看了看珂赛特的吸墨纸簿,对现实的意识回到了他身上。他抓起吸墨纸簿说:“这是从那里来的。”他狂热地检查吸墨纸上印出的那四行字,字迹颠倒后变成了古怪的涂鸦,他看不出任何意义。然后他对自己说:“可这什么也不表示;这里什么也没写。”他长长地吸了一口气,带着难以言表的宽慰。谁在没有失掉一切幻象之前,没有经历过那种愚蠢的欢乐时刻?灵魂在耗尽所有幻觉之前是不会向绝望投降的。

🔊 Strange and sad to say, at that very moment, Marius had not yet received Cosette's letter; chance had treacherously carried it to Jean Valjean before delivering it to Marius. Up to that day, Jean Valjean had not been vanquished by trial. He had been subjected to fearful proofs; no violence of bad fortune had been spared him; the ferocity of fate, armed with all vindictiveness and all social scorn, had taken him for her prey and had raged against him. He had accepted every extremity when it had been necessary; he had sacrificed his inviolability as a reformed man, had yielded up his liberty, risked his head, lost everything, suffered everything, and he had remained disinterested and stoical to such a point that he might have been thought to be absent from himself like a martyr. His conscience inured to every assault of destiny, might have appeared to be forever impregnable. Well, anyone who had beheld his spiritual self would have been obliged to concede that it weakened at that moment. It was because, of all the tortures which he had undergone in the course of this long inquisition to which destiny had doomed him, this was the most terrible. Never had such pincers seized him hitherto. He felt the mysterious stirring of all his latent sensibilities. He felt the plucking at the strange chord. Alas! the supreme trial, let us say rather, the only trial, is the loss of the beloved being.

奇怪而可悲的是,就在那一刻,马吕斯还没有收到珂赛特的信;命运诡诈地在把信交给马吕斯之前先送到了冉阿让手中。在那天之前,冉阿让从未被磨难打败过。他经受过可怕的考验;命运的残酷没有放过他;命运之神,带着复仇和社会蔑视的武装,把他当作猎物,向他发威。他在必要时接受了每一个极端;他牺牲了自己作为一个改过自新者不可侵犯的权利,放弃了自由,冒了生命的危险,失去了一切,承受了一切,并且他始终保持无私和坚忍,到了可以被认为像一个殉道者那样忘我的地步。他的良心虽然习惯了命运的一切攻击,但似乎永远坚不可摧。然而,如果有人看到了他的精神状态,就不得不承认它在那一刻削弱了。这是因为,在命运对他进行的这场漫长审讯中,他所经历的所有折磨中,这一次是最可怕的。从未有哪一把钳子像这样夹住他。他感到所有潜在感觉的神秘搅动。他感到那根奇特琴弦的拨动。唉!最后的考验,让我们说,唯一的考验,就是失去所爱的人。

🔊 Poor old Jean Valjean certainly did not love Cosette otherwise than as a father; but we have already remarked, above, that into this paternity the widowhood of his life had introduced all the shades of love; he loved Cosette as his daughter, and he loved her as his mother, and he loved her as his sister; and, as he had never had either a woman to love or a wife, as nature is a creditor who accepts no protest, that sentiment also, the most impossible to lose, was mingled with the rest, vague, ignorant, pure with the purity of blindness, unconscious, celestial, angelic, divine; less like a sentiment than like an instinct, less like an instinct than like an imperceptible and invisible but real attraction; and love, properly speaking, was, in his immense tenderness for Cosette, like the thread of gold in the mountain, concealed and virgin.

可怜的老年冉阿让对珂赛特的爱当然只是父爱;但我们前面已经说过,这种父爱中掺杂了他一生鳏居所带来的爱的所有色调;他爱珂赛特如女儿,爱她如母亲,爱她如姐妹;而且,由于他从未有过爱人或妻子,而自然是不接受抗议的债权人,那种最难失去的情感也混杂在其中,模糊、无知、纯洁得如同盲目的纯净,不自觉、崇高、天使般、神圣;与其说是一种情感,不如说是一种本能,与其说是一种本能,不如说是一种不可察觉、不可见但真实的引力;而爱,严格说来,在他对珂赛特的巨大柔情中,就像山中的金线,隐藏而处女般。

请读者回想一下我们之前指出的内心状况。他们之间不可能有婚姻;甚至连灵魂的结合也不可能;然而,他们的命运确实是结合的。除了珂赛特,也就是说,除了童年,冉阿让在漫长的生命中从未知道什么是可以爱的。那些接踵而至的激情和爱情,没有在他身上产生那些连续的嫩绿、浅绿或深绿--那些可以在经历过冬天的树叶和年过五十的人身上看到的色彩。总之,我们不止一次强调过,所有这些内在的融合,所有这些总和所构成的崇高品德,最终使冉阿让成为了珂赛特的父亲。一个奇特的父亲,由祖父、儿子、兄弟和丈夫铸造而成,这些都存在于冉阿让身上;一个甚至包含了母亲在内的父亲;一个爱珂赛特、崇拜她、把这个孩子当作他的光、他的家、他的家庭、他的祖国、他的天堂的父亲。

因此,当他看到结局已绝对到来,她正从他身边逃开,正从他手中滑走,正像云、像水一样溜走,当他面前摆着这个粉碎性的证据:“另一个人是她心中的目标,另一个人是她生活的愿望;有一个最亲爱的人,我只不过是她的父亲,我不复存在了”;当他无法再怀疑,当他对自己说:“她要离开我了!”他感到的悲伤超出了可能性的界限。为了达到这样的结果,他做了这么多!而且,竟然是一无所有!于是,正如我们刚才所说,一股反抗的战栗从头到脚贯穿了他。他甚至感到头发根里那巨大的自我中心的觉醒,而这个人灵魂深渊中的“我”在嚎叫。

🔊 There is such a thing as the sudden giving way of the inward subsoil. A despairing certainty does not make its way into a man without thrusting aside and breaking certain profound elements which, in some cases, are the very man himself. Grief, when it attains this shape, is a headlong flight of all the forces of the conscience. These are fatal crises. Few among us emerge from them still like ourselves and firm in duty. When the limit of endurance is overstepped, the most imperturbable virtue is disconcerted. Jean Valjean took the blotter again, and convinced himself afresh; he remained bowed and as though petrified and with staring eyes, over those four unobjectionable lines; and there arose within him such a cloud that one might have thought that everything in this soul was crumbling away.

有一种内在底土的突然崩塌。一个绝望的确信进入一个人心中时,必然会推开并粉碎某些深层的东西--在某些情况下,这些东西正是这个人本身。当悲伤达到这种形式时,就是良心的全部力量的狂乱奔逃。这是致命的危机。我们当中很少有人能从中走出来,仍然像我们自己一样,坚守在责任中。当忍耐的极限被超越时,最镇定的美德也会惊慌失措。冉阿让再次拿起吸墨纸簿,重新确认;他俯着身子,仿佛石化了,眼睛直勾勾地盯着那四行无可辩驳的字;他心中升起了这样的阴云,人们会以为这灵魂中的一切都在崩塌。

🔊 Great griefs contain something of dejection. They discourage one with existence. The man into whom they enter feels something within him withdraw from him. In his youth, their visits are lugubrious; later on they are sinister. Alas, if despair is a fearful thing when the blood is hot, when the hair is black, when the head is erect on the body like the flame on the torch, when the roll of destiny still retains its full thickness, when the heart, full of desirable love, still possesses beats which can be returned to it, when one has time for redress, when all women and all smiles and all the future and all the horizon are before one, when the force of life is complete, what is it in old age, when the years hasten on, growing ever paler, to that twilight hour when one begins to behold the stars of the tomb?

巨大的悲伤含有某种沮丧。它们使人对生存感到灰心。被它们侵入的人感到内心有某种东西在离开他。在年轻时,它们的拜访是悲戚的;后来则是险恶的。唉,如果绝望在血液热时、头发黑时、头像火焰在火炬上一样直立身体时、命运的卷轴仍然厚实时、充满可爱爱情的心仍有可以回应的跳动时、还有时间补救时、所有女人、所有微笑、所有未来、所有地平线都在面前时、生命力完整时,是可怕的事情--那么在老年,当岁月匆匆流逝、越来越苍白,进入那个开始看见坟墓星辰的黄昏时分,它又是什么?
