🔊 The spot was, in fact, admirably adapted, the entrance to the street widened out, the other extremity narrowed together into a pocket without exit. Corinthe created an obstacle, the Rue Mondétour was easily barricaded on the right and the left, no attack was possible except from the Rue Saint-Denis, that is to say, in front, and in full sight. Bossuet had the comprehensive glance of a fasting Hannibal.

这地方其实非常适宜:街道入口宽阔,另一端则收紧成一条死胡同。科林斯构成了一道障碍,蒙德图尔街左右两侧很容易筑起街垒,只有从圣但尼街方向--也就是正面--才可能发起进攻,且完全暴露在视线内。波舒哀的目光如同正在绝食的汉尼拔一般锐利。

🔊 Terror had seized on the whole street at the irruption of the mob. There was not a passerby who did not get out of sight. In the space of a flash of lightning, in the rear, to right and left, shops, stables, area-doors, windows, blinds, attic skylights, shutters of every description were closed, from the ground floor to the roof. A terrified old woman fixed a mattress in front of her window on two clothes-poles for drying linen, in order to deaden the effect of musketry. The wine-shop alone remained open; and that for a very good reason, that the mob had rushed into it.--"Ah my God! Ah my God!" sighed Mame Hucheloup.

整条街都因暴民涌入而陷入恐慌。没有一个行人不在逃离视线。转瞬间,后方、左右两侧,从底层到屋顶,店铺、马厩、地窖门、窗户、百叶窗、天窗、各种遮挡物全部关闭。一位惊恐的老妇人在窗外的两根晾衣竿上固定了一张床垫,以缓冲火枪的冲击。只有那家酒店还开着；原因很简单:暴民已冲了进去。--“天哪！天哪！” 于什鲁大妈叹道。

🔊 In the meantime, in the space of a few minutes, twenty iron bars had been wrenched from the grated front of the wine-shop, ten fathoms of street had been unpaved; Gavroche and Bahorel had seized in its passage, and overturned, the dray of a lime-dealer named Anceau; this dray contained three barrels of lime, which they placed beneath the piles of paving-stones: Enjolras raised the cellar trap, and all the widow Hucheloup's empty casks were used to flank the barrels of lime; Feuilly, with his fingers skilled in painting the delicate sticks of fans, had backed up the barrels and the dray with two massive heaps of blocks of rough stone. Blocks which were improvised like the rest and procured no one knows where. The beams which served as props were torn from the neighboring house-fronts and laid on the casks. When Bossuet and Courfeyrac turned round, half the street was already barred with a rampart higher than a man. There is nothing like the hand of the populace for building everything that is built by demolishing.

与此同时,短短几分钟内,酒店铁栅栏上的二十根铁条已被撬下,十英寻长的街石被挖起；伽弗洛什和巴阿雷拦下了一辆石灰商人安索的运货马车,并将其掀翻；车上载着三桶石灰,他们把这些桶堆在铺路石堆下面；安灼拉打开了地窖的活板门,寡妇于什鲁的所有空酒桶都被用来支撑石灰桶的两侧；弗以伊,他那双善于绘制精致扇骨的手指,又用两大堆粗石块加固了木桶和马车。这些石块和其他东西一样是临时凑来的,不知从何处弄到。用作支柱的横梁是从附近房屋正面拆下来的,搁在酒桶上。当波舒哀和古费拉克转过身时,半条街已被一堵比人还高的壁垒封住了。没有什么比民众的手更能靠破坏来建造一切了。

🔊 "Matelote is homely!" he cried: "Matelote is of a dream of ugliness! Matelote is a chimaera. This is the secret of her birth: a Gothic Pygmalion, who was making gargoyles for cathedrals, fell in love with one of them, the most horrible, one fine morning. He besought Love to give it life, and this produced Matelote. Look at her, citizens! She has chromate-of-lead-colored hair, like Titian's mistress, and she is a good girl. I guarantee that she will fight well. Every good girl contains a hero. As for Mother Hucheloup, she's an old warrior. Look at her moustaches! She inherited them from her husband. A hussar indeed! She will fight too. These two alone will strike terror to the heart of the banlieue. Comrades, we shall overthrow the government as true as there are fifteen intermediary acids between margaric acid and formic acid; however, that is a matter of perfect indifference to me. Gentlemen, my father always detested me because I could not understand mathematics. I understand only love and liberty. I am Grantaire, the good fellow. Having never had any money, I never acquired the habit of it, and the result is that I have never lacked it; but, if I had been rich, there would have been no more poor people! You would have seen! Oh, if the kind hearts only had fat purses, how much better things would go! I picture myself Jesus Christ with Rothschild's fortune! How much good he would do! Matelote, embrace me! You are voluptuous and timid! You have cheeks which invite the kiss of a sister, and lips which claim the kiss of a lover."

他喊道:“马特洛特长得真丑！马特洛特简直是丑陋之梦的化身！马特洛特是个怪物。这就是她出身的秘密:一个哥特式的皮格马利翁,为教堂雕刻滴水兽,有一天早上爱上了其中最丑陋的一个。他恳求爱神赐予它生命,于是产生了马特洛特。看她啊,公民们！她有着铬黄般的头发,就像提香的情妇,可她是个好姑娘。我保证她打起仗来毫不含糊。每个好姑娘体内都住着一位英雄。至于于什鲁大妈,她是个老战士。瞧她那胡子！那是从她丈夫那儿继承的。真是个轻骑兵！她也会战斗的。光她们俩就能让郊区吓得胆战心惊。同志们,我们要推翻政府,就像从硬脂酸到甲酸之间有十五种中间酸一样千真万确；不过嘛,这对我来说完全无所谓。先生们,我父亲一直讨厌我,因为我学不会数学。我只懂得爱与自由。我就是格朗泰尔,那个好家伙。我从没拥有过钱,也就没养成习惯,结果是我从没缺过钱；但我要是有钱,穷人就不再存在了！你们会看到的！哦,要是好心肠的钱包都鼓鼓的,事情会好得多！我想象自己是个拥有罗特希尔德财富的耶稣基督！他会做多少好事啊！马特洛特,拥抱我吧！你既淫荡又胆怯！你的脸颊让人想要姐妹的亲吻,你的嘴唇却要求得到情人的吻。”
