🔊 How long did he remain thus? What was the ebb and flow of this tragic meditation? Did he straighten up? Did he remain bowed? Had he been bent to breaking? Could he still rise and regain his footing in his conscience upon something solid? He probably would not have been able to tell himself. The street was deserted. A few uneasy bourgeois, who were rapidly returning home, hardly saw him. Each one for himself in times of peril. The lamplighter came as usual to light the lantern which was situated precisely opposite the door of No. 7, and then went away. Jean Valjean would not have appeared like a living man to anyone who had examined him in that shadow. He sat there on the post of his door, motionless as a form of ice. There is congealment in despair. The alarm bells and a vague and stormy uproar were audible. In the midst of all these convulsions of the bell mingled with the revolt, the clock of Saint-Paul struck eleven, gravely and without haste; for the tocsin is man; the hour is God. The passage of the hour produced no effect on Jean Valjean; Jean Valjean did not stir. Still, at about that moment, a brusque report burst forth in the direction of the Halles, a second yet more violent followed; it was probably that attack on the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie which we have just seen repulsed by Marius. At this double discharge, whose fury seemed augmented by the stupor of the night, Jean Valjean started; he rose, turning towards the quarter whence the noise proceeded; then he fell back upon the post again, folded his arms, and his head slowly sank on his bosom again.

他这样究竟呆了多久?这痛苦的冥想,其来潮与退潮又是怎样的?他挺直了身子吗?他仍然弯着腰吗?他是否已被压弯到快要折断?他还能重新站起来,在良心上找到某种坚实的立足点吗?他大概自己也说不清楚。街上空荡荡的。几个匆匆返家的不安分的市民几乎没有看见他。危难时刻,各人自扫门前雪。点灯夫照常过来点亮了正好位于七号门对面的那盏路灯,然后就走了。任何人在那片阴影中审视冉阿让,都不会觉得他是个活人。他一动不动地坐在他家门口的柱子(补赎的位置)上,像一尊冰雕。绝望之中自有凝固。警钟声和一阵模糊而暴烈的喧嚣隐约可闻。在所有这些与骚乱交织的钟声的震颤中,圣保罗教堂的钟庄严而不紧不慢地敲响了十一点;因为警钟是人,而时辰是上帝。时辰的流逝对冉阿让毫无影响;冉阿让纹丝不动。不过,大约就在那时,从中央菜市场方向传来一声突兀的爆响,紧接着又是一声更猛烈的;那大概就是我们刚才看到被马吕斯击退的对麻厂街那处街垒的进攻。在这两下射击中,其狂怒似乎被夜晚的麻木所增强,冉阿让惊跳起来;他站起身,转向声音传来的方向;然后他又跌坐回柱子(补赎的位置)上,抱起双臂,头又慢慢垂到胸前。

🔊 An idea flashed through Jean Valjean's mind. Anguish does have these gleams. He said to the lad:-- "Are you the person who is bringing a letter that I am expecting?" "You?" said Gavroche. "You are not a woman." "The letter is for Mademoiselle Cosette, is it not?" "Cosette," muttered Gavroche. "Yes, I believe that is the queer name." "Well," resumed Jean Valjean, "I am the person to whom you are to deliver the letter. Give it here." "In that case, you must know that I was sent from the barricade." "Of course," said Jean Valjean. Gavroche engulfed his hand in another of his pockets and drew out a paper folded in four. Then he made the military salute. "Respect for despatches," said he. "It comes from the Provisional Government." "Give it to me," said Jean Valjean. Gavroche held the paper elevated above his head. "Don't go and fancy it's a love letter. It is for a woman, but it's for the people. We men fight and we respect the fair sex. We are not as they are in fine society, where there are lions who send chickens to camels." "Give it to me." "After all," continued Gavroche, "you have the air of an honest man." "Give it to me quick." "Catch hold of it." And he handed the paper to Jean Valjean. "And make haste, Monsieur What's-your-name, for Mademoiselle Cosette is waiting." Gavroche was satisfied with himself for having produced this remark. Jean Valjean began again:-- "Is it to Saint-Merry that the answer is to be sent?" "There you are making some of those bits of pastry vulgarly called brioches. This letter comes from the barricade of the Rue de la Chanvrerie, and I'm going back there. Good evening, citizen." That said, Gavroche took himself off, or, to describe it more exactly, fluttered away in the direction whence he had come with a flight like that of an escaped bird. He plunged back into the gloom as though he made a hole in it, with the rigid rapidity of a projectile; the alley of the Rue de l'Homme Armé became silent and solitary once more; in a twinkling, that strange child, who had about him something of the shadow and of the dream, had buried himself in the mists of the rows of black houses, and was lost there, like smoke in the dark; and one might have thought that he had dissipated and vanished, had there not taken place, a few minutes after his disappearance, a startling shiver of glass, and had not the magnificent crash of a lantern rattling down on the pavement once more abruptly awakened the indignant bourgeois. It was Gavroche on his way through the Rue du Chaume.

一个念头闪过冉阿让的脑海。痛苦有时也会有这样的闪光。他对那小子说:--“你是不是那个给我送一封我正在等的信的人?” “你?”伽弗洛什说,“你不是女人。” “那封信是给珂赛特小姐的,对吗?” “珂赛特,”伽弗洛什咕哝道,“是的,我相信是那个古怪的名字。” “唔,”冉阿让继续说,“我就是你要送信的那个人。把信给我。” “那样的话,你得知道我是从街垒被派来的。” “当然,”冉阿让说。伽弗洛什把手伸进另一只口袋,掏出一张折成四折的纸。然后他行了个军礼。“尊重公文,”他说,“这是临时政府来的。” “给我,”冉阿让说。伽弗洛什把纸举过头顶。“别以为这是什么情书。是给女人的,但那是给人民的。我们男人打仗,我们尊重女性。我们不像上流社会那样,有狮子把鸡送给骆驼。” “给我。” “毕竟,”伽弗洛什继续说,“你看上去像个诚实的人。” “快给我。” “接着。”他把纸递给冉阿让。“快点,不知名的先生,因为珂赛特小姐在等着。”伽弗洛什对自己说了这句话很得意。冉阿让又问:--“回信要送到圣梅里教堂去吗?” “你这是在胡扯那种俗称奶油蛋糕的点心。这封信是从麻厂街的街垒来的,我还要回那儿去。晚安,公民。”说完,伽弗洛什就走了,或者更确切地说,像一只出笼的鸟那样扑棱着翅膀飞向他来的方向。他再次扎进黑暗,仿佛在黑暗中钻了个洞,像弹丸一样笔直而迅疾;武装人街的小巷再次变得寂静而空荡;一眨眼工夫,那个奇怪的、带着几分阴影和梦幻的孩子,就消失在黑乎乎的一排排房子的雾气中,像烟消失在暗处;人们几乎以为他已经消散无蹤了,要不是在他消失几分钟后,又传来一阵惊人的玻璃碎裂声,一盏路灯的响亮破碎声再次猛然惊醒了愤怒的市民。那是伽弗洛什在穿过舒姆街时干的。
