🔊 All were present at a secret meeting at the Café Musain.

所有的人都出席了在米赞咖啡馆举行的一次秘密会议。

🔊 Enjolras said, mixing his words with a few half-enigmatical and significant metaphors:-- "It is proper that we should know where we stand and on whom we may count. If combatants are required, they must be provided. It can do no harm to have something with which to strike. Passersby always have more chance of being gored when there are bulls on the road than when there are none. Let us, therefore, reckon a little on the herd. How many of us are there? There is no question of postponing this task until tomorrow. Revolutionists should always be hurried; progress has no time to lose. Let us mistrust the unexpected. Let us not be caught unprepared. We must go over all the seams that we have made and see whether they hold fast. This business ought to be concluded today. Courfeyrac, you will see the polytechnic students. It is their day to go out. Today is Wednesday. Feuilly, you will see those of the Glacière, will you not? Combeferre has promised me to go to Picpus. There is a perfect swarm and an excellent one there. Bahorel will visit the Estrapade. Prouvaire, the masons are growing lukewarm; you will bring us news from the lodge of the Rue de Grenelle-Saint-Honoré. Joly will go to Dupuytren's clinical lecture, and feel the pulse of the medical school. Bossuet will take a little turn in the court and talk with the young law licentiates. I will take charge of the Cougourde myself."

安灼拉说,他的话里夹杂着一些半隐晦、意味深长的比喻:--“我们应当知道自己的处境,以及可以指望哪些人。如果需要战斗人员,就必须准备好。手头有件打击的东西总没有坏处。路上有公牛时,行人被顶伤的机会总比没有公牛时多。因此,我们得对这群人稍作估算。我们有多少人？这件事不能拖到明天。革命者总得抓紧时间；进步不可蹉跎。我们要提防意外。不要被打个措手不及。我们必须检查我们织好的所有网眼,看是否牢固。这件事今天就得定下来。古费拉克,你去见理工学院的学生。今天是他们外出的日子,星期三。弗以伊,你去见格拉西埃的那些人,好吗？公白飞答应我去比克布斯,那儿有一大群好样的。巴阿雷去埃斯特拉帕德街。普鲁维尔,泥瓦匠们有点冷淡了；你去格勒内尔-圣奥诺雷街的会所给我们带消息。若李去迪皮特朗的临床课,探探医学院的脉搏。波舒哀到法庭去转转,跟年轻的法学士们谈谈。我自己负责南瓜会的事。”

“梅纳城门,”安灼拉回答。

🔊 Enjolras remained for a moment as though absorbed in reflection, then he resumed:-- "At the Barrière du Maine there are marble-workers, painters, and journeymen in the studios of sculptors. They are an enthusiastic family, but liable to cool off. I don't know what has been the matter with them for some time past. They are thinking of something else. They are becoming extinguished. They pass their time playing dominoes. There is urgent need that someone should go and talk with them a little, but with firmness. They meet at Richefeu's. They are to be found there between twelve and one o'clock. Those ashes must be fanned into a glow. For that errand I had counted on that abstracted Marius, who is a good fellow on the whole, but he no longer comes to us. I need someone for the Barrière du Maine. I have no one."

安灼拉沉思了片刻,然后像一个下了决心的人那样做了个手势,接着说:--“在梅纳城门那边有大理石匠、画家和雕塑家工作室的帮工。他们是一群热情的人,但容易冷却下来。我不知道近来他们出了什么问题。他们想别的事了,正在消沉下去。他们整天玩多米诺骨牌。必须有人去跟他们谈谈,但要态度坚定。他们在里什弗那里聚会,中午到一点之间能找到他们。那堆灰烬必须扇起火焰来。这差事我本来指望那个心不在焉的马吕斯,他总的来说是个好小伙子,但他不再来了。我需要一个人去梅纳城门。我没有合适的人。”

🔊 As Enjolras walked towards this place, he passed the whole situation in review in his own mind. The gravity of events was self-evident. When facts, the premonitory symptoms of latent social malady, move heavily, the slightest complication stops and entangles them. A phenomenon whence arises ruin and new births. Enjolras descried a luminous uplifting beneath the gloomy skirts of the future. Who knows? Perhaps the moment was at hand. The people were again taking possession of right, and what a fine spectacle! The revolution was again majestically taking possession of France and saying to the world: "The sequel tomorrow!" Enjolras was content. The furnace was being heated. He had at that moment a powder train of friends scattered all over Paris. He composed, in his own mind, with Combeferre's philosophical and penetrating eloquence, Feuilly's cosmopolitan enthusiasm, Courfeyrac's dash, Bahorel's smile, Jean Prouvaire's melancholy, Joly's science, Bossuet's sarcasms, a sort of electric spark which took fire nearly everywhere at once. All hands to work. Surely, the result would answer to the effort. This was well. This made him think of Grantaire.

安灼拉走向那里时,在心里把整个形势回顾了一遍。事态的严重性不言而喻。当事实--潜在社会疾病的预兆--沉重地移动时,最微小的复杂情况都会使之停滞、缠结。这是一种导致毁灭与新生的现象。安灼拉在未来的阴郁裙裾下,看到了一种光明的高升。谁知道呢？也许时机到了。人民再次夺回权利,这是多么壮观的景象！革命再次庄严地占领法国,并对世界说:‘明天继续！’安灼拉感到满足。熔炉正在加热。此刻,他有一批散布在全巴黎的朋友,如同一列火药车。他在心中,用公白飞富有哲理且透彻的雄辩、弗以伊的世界主义热情、古费拉克的冲劲、巴阿雷的微笑、让·普鲁维尔的忧郁、若李的科学、波舒哀的讽刺,组合成一种电火花,几乎能同时点燃各处。全体行动起来。可以肯定,结果会与努力相称。这很好。这让他想起了格朗泰尔。
