🔊 One day, the air was warm, the Luxembourg was inundated with light and shade, the sky was as pure as though the angels had washed it that morning, the sparrows were giving vent to little twitters in the depths of the chestnut-trees. Marius had thrown open his whole soul to nature, he was not thinking of anything, he simply lived and breathed, he passed near the bench, the young girl raised her eyes to him, the two glances met.

一天,空气温暖,卢森堡公园光影斑驳,天空纯净得仿佛天使在清晨刚刚洗涤过,麻雀在栗树林深处叽叽喳喳。马吕斯向大自然敞开了整个灵魂,他什么也没想,只是活着,呼吸着；他走过长椅旁,少女抬眼望向他,两人目光相遇。

🔊 That first gaze of a soul which does not, as yet, know itself, is like the dawn in the sky. It is the awakening of something radiant and strange. Nothing can give any idea of the dangerous charm of that unexpected gleam, which flashes suddenly and vaguely forth from adorable shadows, and which is composed of all the innocence of the present, and of all the passion of the future. It is a sort of undecided tenderness which reveals itself by chance, and which waits. It is a snare which the innocent maiden sets unknown to herself, and in which she captures hearts without either wishing or knowing it. It is a virgin looking like a woman.

那是一个尚未自知的心灵最初的一瞥,如同天空中的曙光。那是一种璀璨而陌生的觉醒。没有任何语言能形容那突如其来的微光所蕴含的危险魅力--它从可爱的暗影中骤然闪现,朦胧而明亮,融合了当下所有的纯真和未来所有的激情。那是一种偶然流露、尚在等待的犹豫温情。那是纯真少女无意中设下的陷阱,她在不知不觉中捕获人心,既非有意,也非自知。那是处子之身,却已像女人的目光。
