我多高兴啊,我终于走了!好朋友,人心真不知是个什么东西!我离开了你,离开了自己相爱相亲、朝夕不舍的人,竟然会感到高兴!我知道你会原谅我。命运偏偏让我结识了另外几个人,不正是为了来扰乱我这颗心么?可怜的蕾奥诺莱!但我是没有错的。她妹妹的非凡魅力令我赏心悦目,却使她可怜的心中产生了痛苦,这难道怪得着我?然而——我就真的完全没有错吗?难道我不曾助长她的感情?难道当她自自然然地流露真情时,我不曾沾沾自喜,并和大家一起拿这原本不可笑的事情来取笑她么?难道我?……唉,这人啊真是一种惯会自怨自责的怪物!而我,亲爱的朋友,我向你保证,我一定改弦更张,绝不再像已往那样,总把命运加给我们的一点儿痛苦拿来反复咀嚼回味,而要乐享眼前,过去了的就让它过去。是的,好朋友,诚如你所说:人们要是不这么没完没了地运用想象力去唤起昔日痛苦的回忆——上帝才知道为什么把人造成这个样子——,而是多多考虑考虑如何挨过眼前的话,人间的痛苦本来就会少一些的。

How happy I am that I am gone! My dear friend, what a thing is the heart of man! To leave you, from whom I have been inseparable, whom I love so dearly, and yet to feel happy! I know you will forgive me. Have not other attachments been specially appointed by fate to torment a head like mine? Poor Leonora! and yet I was not to blame. Was it my fault, that, whilst the peculiar charms of her sister afforded me an agreeable entertainment, a passion for me was engendered in her feeble heart? And yet am I wholly blameless? Did I not encourage her emotions? Did I not feel charmed at those truly genuine expressions of nature, which, though but little mirthful in reality, so often amused us? Did I not—but oh! what is man, that he dares so to accuse himself? My dear friend I promise you I will improve; I will no longer, as has ever been my habit, continue to ruminate on every petty vexation which fortune may dispense; I will enjoy the present, and the past shall be for me the past. No doubt you are right, my best of friends, there would be far less suffering amongst mankind, if men—and God knows why they are so fashioned—did not employ their imaginations so assiduously in recalling the memory of past sorrow, instead of bearing their present lot with equanimity.

劳驾告诉我母亲,我将尽力料理好她那件事,并尽快回信给她。我已见过我姑妈了,发现她远非我们在家里所讲的那么个刁婆子,而是一位热心快肠的夫人。我向她转达了我母亲对于扣下一部分遗产未分的不满;她则对我说明了这样做的种种理由和原因,以及要在什么条件下,她才准备全部交出来,也就是说比我们要求的还多……简单讲,我现在还不想具体谈什么;请转告我母亲,一切都会好起来的。就在这件小小的事情上,好朋友,我再次发现误解与成见,往往会在世界上铸成比诡诈与恶意更多的过错。至少可以肯定,后两者要罕见一些。

Be kind enough to inform my mother that I shall attend to her business to the best of my ability, and shall give her the earliest information about it. I have seen my aunt, and find that she is very far from being the disagreeable person our friends allege her to be. She is a lively, cheerful woman, with the best of hearts. I explained to her my mother’s wrongs with regard to that part of her portion which has been withheld from her. She told me the motives and reasons of her own conduct, and the terms on which she is willing to give up the whole, and to do more than we have asked. In short, I cannot write further upon this subject at present; only assure my mother that all will go on well. And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.

再就是我在此间非常愉快。这个乐园一般的地方,它的岑寂正好是医治我这颗心的灵丹妙药;还有眼前的大好春光,它的温暖已充满我这颗时常寒栗的心。每一株树,每一排篱笆上,都是繁花盛开;人真想变成一只金甲虫,到那馥郁的香海中去遨游,去尽情地吸露吮蜜。

In other respects I am very well off here. Solitude in this terrestrial paradise is a genial balm to my mind, and the young spring cheers with its bounteous promises my oftentimes misgiving heart. Every tree, every bush, is full of flowers; and one might wish himself transformed into a butterfly, to float about in this ocean of perfume, and find his whole existence in it.

城市本身并不舒适,四郊的自然环境却说不出的美妙。也许这才打动了已故的M伯爵,把他的花园建在一座小丘上。类似的小丘在城外交错纵横,千姿百态,美不胜收,丘与丘之间还构成一道道幽静宜人的峡谷。花园布局单纯,一进门便可感觉出绘制蓝图的并非某位高明的园艺家,而是一颗渴望独享幽寂的敏感的心。对于这座废园的故主人,我在那间业已破败的小亭中洒下了不少追怀的眼泪;这小亭子是他生前最爱待的地方,如今也成了我流连忘返的所在。不久我便会成为这花园的主人;没几天工夫看园人已对我产生好感,再说我搬进去也亏待不了他。

The town itself is disagreeable; but then, all around, you find an inexpressible beauty of nature. This induced the late Count M to lay out a garden on one of the sloping hills which here intersect each other with the most charming variety, and form the most lovely valleys. The garden is simple; and it is easy to perceive, even upon your first entrance, that the plan was not designed by a scientific gardener, but by a man who wished to give himself up here to the enjoyment of his own sensitive heart. Many a tear have I already shed to the memory of its departed master in a summerhouse which is now reduced to ruins, but was his favourite resort, and now is mine. I shall soon be master of the place. The gardener has become attached to me within the last few days, and he will lose nothing thereby.
