碧眼姑娘|The Girl with Green Eyes

属类: 双语小说 【分类】双语小说 阅读:[1104]
火车是一个封闭的世界。每个包厢都像一个小房间,有门有窗。不过火车行驶时,你不能出去。外面的世界很遥远,你可以不去想你的家庭、工作和朋友。在火车上,你和陌生人坐在一起。你对他们一无所知,但却要和他们在同一个小房间里,在他们旁边坐上几个小时,或许几天。你无法摆脱他们。 随着车轮滚滚向前,这些故事向我们展现了三个不同的人物。一个年轻漂亮的妻子——和她的新婚丈夫穿过英格兰的绿色山丘去度假。一个逍遥自在的年轻人——穿越南斯拉夫的山脉去找工作。一个明达事理的中年人——穿过芬兰的森林湖泊北上,期盼有个安静的旅程。
三段不同的旅行,三个不同的人物——都关在火车这个封闭的世界里——一个什么事情都可能发生的地方。
A train is a closed world. Each carriage is like a small room, with windows and doors, but you can’t get out when the train is moving. The world outside is far away, and you can forget your home, your work, your friends. On a train you sit with strangers. You don’t know anything about them, but you sit next to them for hours, or perhaps days, in the same small room. You can’t get away from them.
As the wheels of the train turn, these stories show us three different people. A beautiful young wife – going on holiday with her new husband, through the green hills of England. A carefree young man – travelling across the mountains of Yugoslavia, looking for work. A sensible middle-aged man – travelling north through the forests and lakes of Finland, hoping for a quiet journey.
Three different journeys, three different people – all locked in the closed world of the train... where anything can happen.

“当然了,”戴棕色帽子的男人说道,“要知道,有好警察,也有坏警察。”

1
-

“没错。”年轻男人说道,“是的,确实如此。你说呢,朱莉?”他望着身旁的年轻女人。

2
-

朱莉没有回答,她感到无聊,闭上了眼睛。

3
-

“朱莉是我的妻子。”年轻男人跟戴棕色帽子的男人说道,“她不喜欢坐火车,她在车上总是感觉不舒服。”

4
-

“哦,是吗?”戴棕色帽子的男人回答。“嗳,我妻子——她不喜欢坐巴士。她有一次差点在一辆巴士上发生意外。就是去年……不,不,不是。是两年前。现在我想起来了,是在曼彻斯特。”他讲了一个关于他老婆在曼彻斯特坐巴士的又长又无聊的故事。

5
-

那天很热,火车又开得慢。包厢里有七个人——戴棕色帽子的男人,年轻男人和他的妻子朱莉,一个妈妈和两个孩子,还有一个身材高大、皮肤黝黑、穿着昂贵西装的男人。

6
-

年轻人名叫比尔。他留着棕色的短发,脸上带着幸福的笑容。他的妻子朱莉有一头红色的长发和碧绿的眼睛——像海水一样的颜色。那是一双非常美丽的眼睛。

7
-

戴棕色帽子的男人不停地说着。他有一张红色的大脸,大嗓门。他和比尔聊天,因为比尔也喜欢聊天。戴棕色帽子的男人常常大笑,他笑的时候,比尔也会跟着笑。比尔喜欢和人说说笑笑。

8
-

两个孩子又热又无聊。他们不想坐着,想在车厢里来回奔跑、吵吵闹闹。

9
-

“坐下来,消停一会儿。”孩子的妈妈说道。她身材娇小,神情和声音都显得疲惫。

10
-

“我不想坐着。”小男孩说道,“我渴了。”

11
-

“来,吃个橘子。”他妈妈说着从包里拿出一个橘子给他。

12
-

“我也想吃橘子。”小女孩大声说道。

13
-

“好吧,给你。”妈妈说道,“喏,乖乖地吃。”

14
-

两个孩子吃着橘子,安静了一会儿。

15
-

没一会儿小男孩说:“我要喝饮料,我口渴。”

16
-

那个黝黑的高个子男人拿出报纸看了起来。朱莉睁开眼睛,看着报纸背面的内容。她看了看布达佩斯的天气和利物浦的足球比赛情况。她对布达佩斯不感兴趣,也不喜欢足球,只是不想听比尔和那个戴棕色帽子男人的谈话。“说,说,说。”她心想,“比尔就不会停一下。”

17
-

突然,她从报纸的上方看到了高个子男人的眼睛。虽然看不到他的嘴,但是朱莉能感觉到他眼中的笑意。她迅速低头看向报纸,又看了看布达佩斯的天气情况。

18
-

火车停在道利什车站。旅客们上上下下,十分嘈杂。

19
-

“我们到站了吗?”小女孩问道。她来到窗边,向外望去。

20
-

“没有,坐好。”女孩的妈妈说道。

21
-

“我们要去彭赞斯,”小女孩告诉比尔,“去度假。”

22
-

“是的。”女孩的妈妈说道,“我妹妹在海边有一家小旅馆。我们住在那里会便宜些。”

23
-

“没错,”戴棕色帽子的男人说道,“那是个不错的小镇。我认识一个当地人,他在国王街有一家餐厅。很多度假的人都去那里吃饭,他夏天能赚很多钱。”他大声笑着,“没错。”他又说,“在彭赞斯可以度过一个愉快的假期。”

24
-

“我们要去圣奥斯特尔,”比尔说道,“我和朱莉。这是我们第一次度假,朱莉想去西班牙,可我喜欢圣奥斯特尔。我经常去那里度假。那里的八月很美。你们在圣奥斯特尔也会玩得愉快的。”

25
-

朱莉望着窗外。“布达佩斯到底在哪儿呀?”她心想,“我想去那里。我想去维也纳,想去巴黎,想去罗马,想去雅典。”她绿色的眼眸中透着厌倦和气恼。她透过窗户看着英格兰的小村庄和山丘。

26
-

戴棕色帽子的男人看着朱莉。“你说得对,”他对比尔说道,“在英格兰度假可以很愉快。我和太太就经常去布赖顿。不过那儿的天气啊!有一年我们去了,那里每天都在下雨。上午下,下午下,晚上还下。没骗你,雨从没停过。”他大声笑着,“我们去了一个礼拜就差点回家了。”

27
-

比尔也笑了起来。“那你们整天都干什么?”他问道。

28
-

朱莉第三次看报纸上布达佩斯的天气。后来,她看着高个子男人的手,那是一双修长、黝黑的手,十分干净。“漂亮的手。”她心想。他戴着一块昂贵的日本手表。“日本,”她想,“我想去日本。”她抬起头,再次从报纸上方看到了那个男人的眼睛。这次她没有躲开。绿色的眼睛凝视着深褐色的眼睛,看了足有漫长的一分钟。

29
-

过了牛顿阿伯特车站后,列车长来到包厢查票。“那么,”列车长说道,“大家都要去哪儿?”

30
-

“火车晚点了。”戴棕色帽子的男人说道,“从我的手表来看,晚了二十分钟。”

31
-

“十分钟。”列车长说道,“就晚了十分钟。”他冲着朱莉微笑道。

32
-

黝黑的高个子男人放下报纸,找出车票,递给了列车长。列车长看了一眼。

33
-

“您的好了,先生。”他说道,“船在六点钟以后才离开普利茅斯,您的时间很充裕。”

34
-

高个子男人笑了笑,把车票放回口袋,又翻开了报纸。

35
-

朱莉没有看他。“船,”她心里想着,“他到普利茅斯坐船要去哪里?”她那双细长的碧眼盯着他。

36
-

男人只管读着报纸,并没看朱莉。但是他的眼睛却含着笑意。

37
-

火车停在托特尼斯车站,上下车的人更多了。

38
-

“大家都要去度假。”比尔笑道,“真是太好了!两周都不用工作。圣奥斯特尔是一个安静怡人的小城。我们早上可以睡懒觉,下午坐着聊聊天,晚上小喝两杯。是吧,朱莉?”他看着妻子,“你没事吧,朱莉?”

39
-

“没事,比尔。”朱莉平静地说道,“我很好。”她又看着窗外。火车跑得更快了,外面下起雨来。比尔和戴棕色帽子的男人继续聊着。比尔讲了一个很长的故事,内容是关于两个男人和一只狗的,戴棕色帽子的男人哈哈大笑起来。

40
-

“这故事不错,”他说道,“我喜欢。你讲得很好。你知不知道那个关于……”他给比尔讲了一个法国男人和一辆自行车的故事。

41
-

“为什么还会有人觉得这种故事好笑?”朱莉心里想,“它们太无聊了!”

42
-

但是比尔喜欢。接着比尔讲了一个老太太和一只猫的故事。戴棕色帽子的男子又笑了起来。“这个故事也好,我很好奇,你是怎么记住这些故事的?”

43
-

“因为,”朱莉心想,“他每天都讲。”

44
-

“我不明白,”小女孩突然说,她看着比尔,“猫为什么死了呢?”

45
-

“嘘!别乱插嘴。”她妈妈说道,“过来吃三明治吧。”

46
-

“没关系。”比尔说道,“我喜欢孩子。”

47
-

戴棕色帽子的男人看着孩子们的三明治。“嗯,我也饿了。”他说,“餐车上可以买到三明治。”他看着比尔说:“我们一起去餐车,如何?我还想喝点东西。”

48
-

比尔笑着说:“你说的没错,讲故事容易嘴巴干。”

49
-

两个男人起身离开了包厢。

50
-

小女孩吃着三明治,看着朱莉。“可是猫为什么死了呢?”她问。

51
-

“我不知道,”朱莉说道,“也许它想死吧。”

52
-

小女孩来到朱莉身边坐下。“我喜欢你的头发,”她说道,“很漂亮。”朱莉低头看着她笑了。

53
-

有几分钟,包厢里静静的。那个黝黑的高个子男人打开包,拿出一本书。他把书放在身边的座位上,微笑地看着朱莉。朱莉也看着他,然后低头看那本书。意大利名城,她读着。威尼斯,佛罗伦萨,罗马,那不勒斯。她又转过头去看着车窗外面的雨。“在圣奥斯特尔待两周。”她心里想,“和比尔,还是雨天。”

54
-

半小时后,两个男人回到包厢。“火车上人好多。”比尔说道,“你要吃三明治吗,朱莉?”

55
-

“不用了。”朱莉说,“我不饿,你吃吧。”

56
-

火车马上要到普利茅斯了。包厢门打开后,人们走动了起来。“很多人在这一站上车。”戴棕色帽子的男人说道。

57
-

黝黑的高个子男人站起身,把书和报纸放进包里,然后拎起包离开了包厢。火车进站停下了。很多人上了车,两个女人和一个老先生走进包厢。他们大包小包拎了好多。比尔和戴棕色帽子的男人站起来帮他们。其中一个女人带了一大包苹果。包坏了,苹果掉了一地。

58
-

“唉,该死!”女人说道。

59
-

大家都笑着帮她捡苹果。火车离开了普利茅斯车站。一两分钟后,大家都坐了下来。那个女人给了孩子几个苹果。

60
-

“朱莉呢?”比尔突然说,“她不见了。”

61
-

“可能她去餐车那儿了。”戴着棕色帽子的男人说道。

62
-

“可她不饿呀。”比尔说道,“她跟我说的。”

63
-

“小女孩看着比尔。“她在普利茅斯下车了,”她说,“和那个黝黑的高个子男人一起下车的。我看见他们了。”

64
-

“不可能。”比尔说道,“她在火车上,她没有下车。”

65
-

“她确实下车了。”孩子的妈妈突然说道,“我也看见她了。高个子男人在站台上等着她。”

66
-

“他在等她?”比尔张大了嘴,“可是……可是他一直在看报纸,他没有和朱莉说过话,朱莉也没和他说话。他们一句话都没说过。”

67
-

“人有时不需要通过语言也能交流的,年轻人。”孩子的妈妈说道。

68
-

“可她是我的妻子。”比尔的脸气得通红。“她不能这么做。”他大声说着并站起身来。“我要让火车停下。”大家都看着他,两个孩子笑了起来。

69
-

“别。”戴棕色帽子的男人说道,“别,你不用这样。坐下来吃你的三明治,朋友。”

70
-

“可我不明白。她为什么要走?我怎么办?”比尔满脸沮丧。不一会儿他又坐下来。“我该怎么办?”他又嘟囔了一遍。

71
-

“什么也不做。”戴棕色帽子的男人说道,他慢悠悠地吃着三明治。“去圣奥斯特尔度假。你可以在那里过得很开心。行了,忘掉朱莉,忘掉那双碧眼吧。”他又拿出一个三明治吃了起来,“我曾经认识一个碧眼女人。她让我吃了很多苦头。不,你应该忘掉朱莉。”

72
-

Of course,’ the man in the brown hat said, ’there are good policemen and there are bad policemen, you know.’

Oh yes?’ the man in the brown hat said. ’Now my wife – she doesn’t like buses. She nearly had an accident on a bus once. It was last year... No, no, it wasn’t. It was two years ago. I remember now. It was in Manchester.’ He told a long, boring story about his wife and a bus in Manchester.

The tall dark man took out his newspaper and began to read. Julie opened her eyes and looked at the back page of his newspaper. She read about the weather in Budapest and about the football in Liverpool. She wasn’t interested in Budapest and she didn’t like football, but she didn’t want to listen to Bill and the man in the brown hat. ’Talk, talk, talk,’ she thought. ’Bill never stops talking.’

Then suddenly she saw the tall man’s eyes over the top of his newspaper. She could not see his mouth, but there was a smile in his eyes. Quickly, she looked down at the newspaper and read about the weather in Budapest again.

Yes,’ the man in the brown hat said. ’It’s a nice town. I know a man there. He’s got a restaurant in King Street. A lot of holiday people go there. He makes a lot of money in the summer.’ He laughed loudly. ’Yes,’ he said again. ’You can have a nice holiday in Penzance.’

Julie looked out of the window. ’Where is Budapest?’ she thought. ’I want to go there. I want to go to Vienna, to Paris, to Rome, to Athens.’ Her green eyes were bored and angry. Through the window she watched the little villages and hills of England.

The man in the brown hat looked at Julie. ’You’re right,’ he said to Bill. ’You can have a good time on holiday in England. We always go to Brighton, me and the wife. But the weather! We went one year, and it rained every day. Morning, afternoon, and night. It’s true. It never stopped raining.’ He laughed loudly. ’We nearly went home after the first week.’

Julie read about the weather in Budapest for the third time. Then she looked at the tall man’s hands. They were long, brown hands, very clean. ’Nice hands,’ she thought. He wore a very expensive Japanese watch. ’Japan,’ she thought. ’I’d like to go to Japan.’ She looked up and saw the man’s eyes again over the top of his newspaper. This time she did not look away. Green eyes looked into dark brown eyes for a long, slow minute.

Everybody’s going on holiday,’ Bill said. He laughed. ’It’s going to be wonderful. No work for two weeks. It’s a nice, quiet town, St Austell.

Yes, Bill,’ she said quietly. ’I’m OK.’ She looked out of the window again. The train went more quickly now, and it began to rain. Bill and the man in the brown hat talked and talked. Bill told a long story about two men and a dog, and the man in the brown hat laughed very loudly.

For some minutes it was quiet in the carriage. Then the tall dark man opened his bag and took out a book. He put it on the seat next to him, and looked at Julie with a smile. Julie looked back at him, and then down at the book. Famous towns of Italy, she read. Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples. She looked away again, out of the window at the rain. ’Two weeks in St Austell,’ she thought. ’With Bill. In the rain.’

The tall dark man stood up and put his book and his newspaper in his bag. Then he picked up his bag and left the carriage. The train stopped at the station. A lot of people got on the train, and two women and an old man came into the carriage. They had a lot of bags with them. Bill and the man in the brown hat stood up and helped them. One of the women had a big bag of apples. The bag broke and the apples went all over the carriage.

Nothing,’ the man in the brown hat said. He ate his sandwich slowly. ’Go and have your holiday in St Austell. You can have a good time there. Forget about Julie. Those green eyes, now.’ He took out a second sandwich and began to eat it. ’I knew a woman once with green eyes. She gave me a very bad time. No, you want to forget about Julie.’
