Part 2 第69章|Part 2 Chapter 67

属类: 双语小说 【分类】世界名著 -[作者: 塞万提斯] 阅读:[44767]
《堂吉诃德》是一部幽默诙谐、滑稽可笑、充满了奇思妙想的长篇文学巨著。此书主要描写了一个有趣、可敬、可悲、喜欢自欺欺人的没落贵族堂吉诃德,他痴狂地迷恋古代骑士小说,以至于放弃家业,用破甲驽马装扮成古代骑士的样子,再雇佣农民桑乔作侍从,三次出征周游全国,去创建所谓的扶弱锄强的骑士业绩。他们在征险的生涯中闹出了许多笑话,到处碰壁受辱,堂吉诃德多次被打成重伤,有一次还被当成疯子关在笼子里遣送回乡。最后,他因征战不利郁郁寡欢而与世长辞,临终前他那一番貌似悔悟的话语让人匪夷所思又哭笑不得。

那几个骑马的人下了马,和几个步行的人一起,把桑乔和唐吉诃德推推搡搡地弄进了院子。院子周围的大烛台上插着一百多支火炬,走廊里还有五百多盏照明灯,虽然天已渐黑,院子里却依然如同白昼。院子中间设置了一个两米高的灵台,上面盖着一块巨大的黑色天鹅绒。灵台四周的一百多个银烛台上燃着白色的蜡烛。灵台上摆放着一位姑娘的尸体,人虽已死去,容貌依然楚楚动人。她头戴由各色花卉编织的花环,枕着锦缎枕头,双手交叉在胸前,手里还有一束已经枯萎的黄色棕榈叶。院子的一端有个台子,后面的两把椅子上坐着两个人。他们头戴王冠,手持权杖,看样子像国王之类的人物,但真假就不知道了。台子只能沿阶而上,旁边还有两把椅子,唐吉诃德和桑乔被带过去,坐到了这两把椅子上。大家都默不作声,同时也示意唐吉诃德和桑乔不要出声。其实,用不着告诉他们俩,他们也不会出声。他们早已被眼前的奇怪景象惊得目瞪口呆了。

1
-

这时,有两位贵人在很多人的簇拥下登上了台子,唐吉诃德认出那是公爵和公爵夫人。那两个像国王的人身旁有两把豪华的椅子,公爵和公爵夫人坐到了那两把椅子上。唐吉诃德又认出躺在灵台上的竟是美丽的阿尔蒂西多拉,他怎能不更加惊奇呢?公爵和公爵夫人登上台子后,唐吉诃德和桑乔站起来,向他们深深地鞠了躬,公爵和公爵夫人也对唐吉诃德和桑乔微微点头。

2
-

这时,有一位陪祭从侧面走到桑乔身边,给他披上一件黑麻孝衣,衣服上画满了火焰,又摘掉了桑乔头上的帽子,给他戴上一个纸糊的高帽,就像宗教裁判所审判犯人时给犯人戴的那种帽子。这人还对他耳语说不许开口,否则就把他的嘴堵上或者要他的命。桑乔把自己上上下下地打量了一番,看到自己虽然满身是火焰,却并不灼人,也就不在意了。他把纸帽子摘下来,看了看上面画的魔鬼,又把帽子戴上了,心想只要火不烧身,魔鬼不要他的命,这副样子倒没什么关系。

3
-

唐吉诃德也看了看桑乔,尽管唐吉诃德已经吓呆了,可看到桑乔那个模样,还是忍不住笑了。这时,轻柔的笛声仿佛从灵台下面飘了出来。没有任何人吭声,那笛声显得越发缠绵动人。忽然,那个貌似尸体的姑娘枕边忽然出现了一个罗马人打扮的英俊少年。他弹着竖琴,在琴声的伴奏下非常深情地唱起了两首诗:

4
-

冷酷的唐吉诃德使得你

5
-

香消玉殒,阿尔蒂西多拉呀,

6
-

在这阴曹地府,

7
-

贵夫人们都为你身裹素纱。

8
-

女主人已吩咐所有的女佣

9
-

为你戴孝披麻。

10
-

我则以胜过色雷斯①歌手的灵感,

11
-

唱出你的美貌和不幸的生涯。

12
-

我不仅今生今世

13
-

把你赞颂,

14
-

我还要用我冰冷的舌头

15
-

让你来世美名传天下。

16
-

愿我的灵魂

17
-

飞入冥湖②之中,

18
-

挡住那忘却记忆的湖水,

19
-

秋水伊人,令我魂牵肠挂。

20
-

“不必再说了,”一个国王模样的人说道,“圣洁的歌手,不必再说了,举世无双的阿尔蒂西多拉命途多舛,一言难尽,她的美德真是唱也唱不完。她并不是像凡夫俗子想象的那样已经死去,而是永生在人们的传颂之中。若想让她起死回生,桑乔·潘萨就得付出代价,现在他正好在场。那么你,与我同在冥国当判官的拉达曼托③呀,你知道,神和莫测的命运已经决定让这个姑娘还魂,你赶紧当众宣布吧,我们一直在等着这个消息呢。”

21
-

①巴尔干半岛东南部一地区。色雷斯人尤以诗歌和音乐著称。

22
-

②在希腊神话中指意大利的阿尔维诺湖,据说是地狱的入口。

23
-

③宙斯和欧罗巴之子,后来成为乐土的统治者和冥界的判官之一。此处的说话者应为另一判官弥诺斯。

24
-

弥诺斯刚说完,拉达曼托便起身说道:

25
-

“凡是在这儿干事的人,无论高的矮的还是大的小的,都排队过来,把桑乔的下巴胡噜二十四下,再在他的胳膊上和腰上掐十二下,用针扎六下,这样,阿尔蒂西多拉就能死而复生。”

26
-

桑乔听了立刻大声喊道:

27
-

“我敢发誓,想在我脸上胡噜,根本没门儿!真见鬼,在我脸上胡噜跟这个姑娘死而复生有什么关系?真是眉毛胡子一起来。杜尔西内亚中了魔法,就得让我挨鞭挞,她才能摆脱魔法;这个姑娘要还魂,就得胡噜我二十四下,用针往我身上乱扎,还得把我的胳膊掐痛!我可不吃你们这一套!”

28
-

“你找死呀!”拉达曼托说,“放老实点儿,你这吃人的老虎;低下头来,你这傲慢的宁录①;住嘴,又没让你做什么办不到的事。你就别找辙了,老老实实地让人胡噜你的脸,让人用针扎你,让人掐得你直叫唤吧!喂,凡是在这儿干事的,都赶紧执行我的命令!否则,我让你们吃不了兜着走!”

29
-

①《圣经》中的人物,在耶和华面前被称为“英勇的猎户”。

30
-

此时,已有六个女佣排成一队来到院里,其中四个还戴着眼镜。她们高举右手,露出四寸长腕。现在人们都时兴长手腕。桑乔一见就立刻吼起来:

31
-

“我可以让任何人胡噜我的脸,但是女佣不行!我可以像我的主人那次在这个城堡里一样,让猫抓我的脸,让锋利的匕首刺穿我的身体,让烧红的火钳拧我的皮肉,这些我都可以忍耐,任凭各位大人发落。可是,如果想让这几个女佣碰我,我宁死不从!”

32
-

唐吉诃德此时也开了口,他对桑乔说道:

33
-

“忍耐一下吧,宝贝,让这几位大人也高兴高兴吧。你得感谢老天让你积德行善,帮中了魔法的人解脱魔法,使死者复生,从而做出你的牺牲!”

34
-

女佣已经走近了桑乔。桑乔被说服了,他服服帖帖地在椅子上坐好,冲着第一个女佣扬起脸,撅起胡子。那个女佣在桑乔的下巴上用劲胡噜了一下,然后深深鞠了一躬。

35
-

“少来点儿礼,少抹点儿油吧,女佣夫人。”桑乔说,“我向上帝发誓,你手上的味儿够酸的。”

36
-

几个女佣都胡噜了桑乔的脸,其他佣人也都拧了他。可是轮到用针扎他的时候,他再也受不了啦。他从椅子上猛然跳起来,怒气冲冲地抓起椅子旁边的一支火炬,撵着那几个女佣和扎过他的人喊道:

37
-

“滚开,你们这些地狱里的小鬼,难道我是铁打的,受得了这般折磨?”

38
-

阿尔蒂西多拉已经躺得太久了,这时她侧了一下身子。在场的人看到后几乎同声喊道:

39
-

“阿尔蒂西多拉活了!阿尔蒂西多拉活了!”

40
-

拉达曼托让桑乔息怒,现在他们的目的已经达到了。

41
-

唐吉诃德见阿尔蒂西多拉又能动弹了,连忙过去跪到桑乔面前,说道:

42
-

“我的心肝宝贝,你现在可不仅是我的侍从。现在你该抽自己几鞭子了,快帮助杜尔西内亚解脱魔法吧。这会儿你的本领已经学到家啦,完全可以水到渠成。”

43
-

桑乔答道:

44
-

“真是没完没了,又要给我加码呀!刚才又拧又胡噜又扎,现在还要鞭子打!干脆拿块大石头绑在我脖子上,把我扔到井里去吧。总是为了给别人治病而拿我开涮,我可受不了!饶了我吧,不然我向上帝发誓,我可不管三七二十一,豁出去了!”

45
-

这时,阿尔蒂西多拉已经在灵台上坐了起来,笛声也随之而起。大家齐声喊道:

46
-

“阿尔蒂西多拉万岁!阿尔蒂西多拉万岁!”

47
-

公爵、公爵夫人、弥诺斯和拉达曼托都站起身来,同唐吉诃德和桑乔一起过去,把阿尔蒂西多拉从灵台上扶了下来。阿尔蒂西多拉似乎刚刚苏醒,向公爵和公爵夫人以及弥诺斯和拉达曼托鞠了个躬,然后又斜瞄着唐吉诃德说道:“让上帝饶恕你吧,丧尽天良的骑士。由于你的冷酷无情,我在另一个世界里仿佛度过了上千年。而你呢,世界上最富有同情心的侍从呀,感谢你让我又获得了生命。桑乔朋友,以后我要送给你六件衬衫,你可以改改自己穿。那些衬衫虽然不是件件完整如新,但至少都是干净的。”

48
-

桑乔手里拿着纸高帽,跪在地上吻了阿尔蒂西多拉的手。公爵吩咐把纸高帽拿走,把桑乔的帽子还给桑乔,并且给桑乔穿上他自己的外衣,把画着火焰的衣服也拿走。桑乔则请求公爵把那件衣服和那顶帽子留给他,他准备把这两件东西带回家乡,作为对这次前所未闻的奇遇的纪念。公爵夫人满口答应,想以此证明她是桑乔的好朋友。公爵吩咐大家离开院子,于是众人都回到了各自的房间。唐吉诃德和桑乔也回到了他们原先住过的那个房间。

49
-

If a multitude of reflections used to harass Don Quixote before he had been overthrown, a great many more harassed him since his fall. He was under the shade of a tree, as has been said, and there, like flies on honey, thoughts came crowding upon him and stinging him. Some of them turned upon the disenchantment of Dulcinea, others upon the life he was about to lead in his enforced retirement. Sancho came up and spoke in high praise of the generous disposition of the lacquey Tosilos.

“Is it possible, Sancho,” said Don Quixote, “that thou dost still think that he yonder is a real lacquey? Apparently it has escaped thy memory that thou hast seen Dulcinea turned and transformed into a peasant wench, and the Knight of the Mirrors into the bachelor Carrasco; all the work of the enchanters that persecute me. But tell me now, didst thou ask this Tosilos, as thou callest him, what has become of Altisidora, did she weep over my absence, or has she already consigned to oblivion the love thoughts that used to afflict her when I was present?”

“The thoughts that I had,” said Sancho, “were not such as to leave time for asking fool’s questions. Body o’ me, senor! is your worship in a condition now to inquire into other people’s thoughts, above all love thoughts?”

“Look ye, Sancho,” said Don Quixote, “there is a great difference between what is done out of love and what is done out of gratitude. A knight may very possibly he proof against love; but it is impossible, strictly speaking, for him to be ungrateful. Altisidora, to all appearance, loved me truly; she gave me the three kerchiefs thou knowest of; she wept at my departure, she cursed me, she abused me, casting shame to the winds she bewailed herself in public; all signs that she adored me; for the wrath of lovers always ends in curses. I had no hopes to give her, nor treasures to offer her, for mine are given to Dulcinea, and the treasures of knights-errant are like those of the fairies,’ illusory and deceptive; all I can give her is the place in my memory I keep for her, without prejudice, however, to that which I hold devoted to Dulcinea, whom thou art wronging by thy remissness in whipping thyself and scourging that flesh — would that I saw it eaten by wolves — which would rather keep itself for the worms than for the relief of that poor lady.”

Senor,” replied Sancho, “if the truth is to be told, I cannot persuade myself that the whipping of my backside has anything to do with the disenchantment of the enchanted; it is like saying, ‘If your head aches rub ointment on your knees;’ at any rate I’ll make bold to swear that in all the histories dealing with knight-errantry that your worship has read you have never come across anybody disenchanted by whipping; but whether or no I’ll whip myself when I have a fancy for it, and the opportunity serves for scourging myself comfortably.”

“God grant it,” said Don Quixote; “and heaven give thee grace to take it to heart and own the obligation thou art under to help my lady, who is thine also, inasmuch as thou art mine.”

As they pursued their journey talking in this way they came to the very same spot where they had been trampled on by the bulls. Don Quixote recognised it, and said he to Sancho, “This is the meadow where we came upon those gay shepherdesses and gallant shepherds who were trying to revive and imitate the pastoral Arcadia there, an idea as novel as it was happy, in emulation whereof, if so he thou dost approve of it, Sancho, I would have ourselves turn shepherds, at any rate for the time I have to live in retirement. I will buy some ewes and everything else requisite for the pastoral calling; and, I under the name of the shepherd Quixotize and thou as the shepherd Panzino, we will roam the woods and groves and meadows singing songs here, lamenting in elegies there, drinking of the crystal waters of the springs or limpid brooks or flowing rivers. The oaks will yield us their sweet fruit with bountiful hand, the trunks of the hard cork trees a seat, the willows shade, the roses perfume, the widespread meadows carpets tinted with a thousand dyes; the clear pure air will give us breath, the moon and stars lighten the darkness of the night for us, song shall be our delight, lamenting our joy, Apollo will supply us with verses, and love with conceits whereby we shall make ourselves famed for ever, not only in this but in ages to come.”

“Egad,” said Sancho, “but that sort of life squares, nay corners, with my notions; and what is more the bachelor Samson Carrasco and Master Nicholas the barber won’t have well seen it before they’ll want to follow it and turn shepherds along with us; and God grant it may not come into the curate’s head to join the sheepfold too, he’s so jovial and fond of enjoying himself.”

“Thou art in the right of it, Sancho,” said Don Quixote; “and the bachelor Samson Carrasco, if he enters the pastoral fraternity, as no doubt he will, may call himself the shepherd Samsonino, or perhaps the shepherd Carrascon; Nicholas the barber may call himself Niculoso, as old Boscan formerly was called Nemoroso; as for the curate I don’t know what name we can fit to him unless it be something derived from his title, and we call him the shepherd Curiambro. For the shepherdesses whose lovers we shall be, we can pick names as we would pears; and as my lady’s name does just as well for a shepherdess’s as for a princess’s , I need not trouble myself to look for one that will suit her better; to thine, Sancho, thou canst give what name thou wilt.”

“I don’t mean to give her any but Teresona,” said Sancho, “which will go well with her stoutness and with her own right name, as she is called Teresa; and then when I sing her praises in my verses I’ll show how chaste my passion is, for I’m not going to look ‘for better bread than ever came from wheat’ in other men’s houses. It won’t do for the curate to have a shepherdess, for the sake of good example; and if the bachelor chooses to have one, that is his look-out.”

“God bless me, Sancho my friend!” said Don Quixote, “what a life we shall lead! What hautboys and Zamora bagpipes we shall hear, what tabors, timbrels, and rebecks! And then if among all these different sorts of music that of the albogues is heard, almost all the pastoral instruments will be there.”

“What are albogues?” asked Sancho, “for I never in my life heard tell of them or saw them.”

“Albogues,” said Don Quixote, “are brass plates like candlesticks that struck against one another on the hollow side make a noise which, if not very pleasing or harmonious, is not disagreeable and accords very well with the rude notes of the bagpipe and tabor. The word albogue is Morisco, as are all those in our Spanish tongue that begin with al; for example, almohaza, almorzar, alhombra, alguacil, alhucema, almacen, alcancia, and others of the same sort, of which there are not many more; our language has only three that are Morisco and end in i, which are borcegui, zaquizami, and maravedi. Alheli and alfaqui are seen to be Arabic, as well by the al at the beginning as by the they end with. I mention this incidentally, the chance allusion to albogues having reminded me of it; and it will be of great assistance to us in the perfect practice of this calling that I am something of a poet, as thou knowest, and that besides the bachelor Samson Carrasco is an accomplished one. Of the curate I say nothing; but I will wager he has some spice of the poet in him, and no doubt Master Nicholas too, for all barbers, or most of them, are guitar players and stringers of verses. I will bewail my separation; thou shalt glorify thyself as a constant lover; the shepherd Carrascon will figure as a rejected one, and the curate Curiambro as whatever may please him best; and so all will go as gaily as heart could wish.”

To this Sancho made answer, “I am so unlucky, senor, that I’m afraid the day will never come when I’ll see myself at such a calling. O what neat spoons I’ll make when I’m a shepherd! What messes, creams, garlands, pastoral odds and ends! And if they don’t get me a name for wisdom, they’ll not fail to get me one for ingenuity. My daughter Sanchica will bring us our dinner to the pasture. But stay — she’s good-looking, and shepherds there are with more mischief than simplicity in them; I would not have her ‘come for wool and go back shorn;’ love-making and lawless desires are just as common in the fields as in the cities, and in shepherds’ shanties as in royal palaces; ‘do away with the cause, you do away with the sin;’ ‘if eyes don’t see hearts don’t break’ and ‘better a clear escape than good men’s prayers.’”

“A truce to thy proverbs, Sancho,” exclaimed Don Quixote; “any one of those thou hast uttered would suffice to explain thy meaning; many a time have I recommended thee not to be so lavish with proverbs and to exercise some moderation in delivering them; but it seems to me it is only ‘preaching in the desert;’ ‘my mother beats me and I go on with my tricks.”

“It seems to me,” said Sancho, “that your worship is like the common saying, ‘Said the frying-pan to the kettle, Get away, blackbreech.’ You chide me for uttering proverbs, and you string them in couples yourself.”

“Observe, Sancho,” replied Don Quixote, “I bring in proverbs to the purpose, and when I quote them they fit like a ring to the finger; thou bringest them in by the head and shoulders, in such a way that thou dost drag them in, rather than introduce them; if I am not mistaken, I have told thee already that proverbs are short maxims drawn from the experience and observation of our wise men of old; but the proverb that is not to the purpose is a piece of nonsense and not a maxim. But enough of this; as nightfall is drawing on let us retire some little distance from the high road to pass the night; what is in store for us to-morrow God knoweth.”

They turned aside, and supped late and poorly, very much against Sancho’s will, who turned over in his mind the hardships attendant upon knight-errantry in woods and forests, even though at times plenty presented itself in castles and houses, as at Don Diego de Miranda’s , at the wedding of Camacho the Rich, and at Don Antonio Moreno’s; he reflected, however, that it could not be always day, nor always night; and so that night he passed in sleeping, and his master in waking.
