堂吉诃德|Don Quixote

Part 2 第28章|Part 2 Chapter 26

属类： 双语小说 【分类】世界名著 -[作者: 塞万提斯] 阅读：[44681]
《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。

敌人诡计暴露，英雄不妨逃跑，伺机东山再起才算得上聪明人。唐吉诃德证实了这个真理。他激起了当地人的怒火，惹得那群愤怒的人对他不客气，他就脚下生烟，扔下了桑乔，置桑乔于危险而不顾，逃到了一个他认为足够安全的地方才止住脚步。桑乔就像刚才说的那样，横卧驴背在后面跟随。等到追上主人时，他已经清醒过来。桑乔从驴背上滚下来，落到罗西南多脚下，浑身疼痛，狼狈不堪。唐吉诃德下马察看桑乔的伤口。他见桑乔从头到脚都是好好的，不禁勃然大怒，说道：

1
-

“你偏偏在那个倒霉的时候学驴叫，桑乔！你为什么偏偏在秃子面前说灯泡亮？你学驴叫，除了招棍子打，还能招来什么？你得感谢上帝，桑乔，他们只打了你一棍子，没用刀子在你脸上划个十字。”

2
-

“我现在不想说什么，”桑乔说，“我觉得说话有些透不过气来。咱们骑上牲口走吧。我以后再也不学驴叫了，不过有句话我不能不说：有些游侠骑士只顾自己逃走，把忠实的仆人甩给敌人，任凭仆人被打得遍体鳞伤。”

3
-

“不是逃跑，是撤退。”唐吉诃德说，“你该知道，桑乔，勇敢而不谨慎，就是鲁莽，而鲁莽者成功多半靠的是运气，而不是靠勇气。所以我承认我是撤退了，但不是逃跑。在这方面，我是模仿许多勇士的做法，准备伺机东山再起。这种例子在历史上比比皆是。不过，讲这些对你没什么用处，我也没兴趣，我这会儿不想说了。”

4
-

桑乔在唐吉诃德的帮助下上了驴，唐吉诃德自己也骑上了马。他们慢慢走着，不知不觉走进了不远处的一片杨树林。桑乔不时发出痛苦的哎哟声和呻吟声。唐吉诃德问他怎么会这么难受，桑乔回答说，他从尾骨到脖子根都疼，疼得快没知觉了。

5
-

“他们用来打你的那根棍子很长，”唐吉诃德说，“打到了你的整条脊骨，所以你的脊背疼。如果打到你身上的面积更大，你会疼得更厉害。”

6
-

“我的天啊，”桑乔说，“您可帮我解释清楚了一个大问题，而且讲得这么精辟！真是的，我对疼痛的原因就那么不明白，还得您告诉我那是棍子打的！如果是我的脚踝疼，我或许还可以琢磨一下为什么会疼；可我是被打痛的，这原因还用猜吗？我的主人啊，我相信，别人是根本靠不住的。现在我越来越清楚地意识到，跟着您是别想指望得到什么了。这次您让我在那儿挨打，以后，您还会让我上百次地被人用被单扔，或者受其他捉弄。现在他们往我背上打，以后就会往我眼睛上打。我真是个笨蛋，否则我现在会混得好得多。以后除非是有好处的事，我什么也不再干了。我如果回家去照应我的老婆和孩子，靠上帝恩典，我再说一遍，我现在会混得好得多，也用不着跟着您在根本没有路的地方奔波，喝不好也吃不好。要说睡觉呢，侍从老弟呀，你就量七尺地吧，如果愿意，还可以再量七尺，随你的便，你愿意占多大地方就占多大地方。过去的所有游侠骑士都是傻瓜！谁第一个涉足游侠骑士，还有，谁第一个愿意给那些傻瓜骑士当侍从，我咒他被烧死，被烧成灰！至于现在的游侠骑士，我就什么也不说了。对现在这些游侠骑士，我得尊重，因为您就是其中的一个嘛，还因为我知道，在说话和考虑问题方面，您比魔鬼稍微强点儿。”

7
-

“我现在可以和你好好打个赌，桑乔，”唐吉诃德说，“你这会儿尽管说，没有人会阻拦你，这样你身上就一点儿也不疼了。说吧，我的宝贝，你脑子里怎么想的，都说出来。只要你不疼了，你胡说八道半天，我不但不生气，反而高兴。既然你那么愿意回家去找老婆孩子，如果我阻拦你，上帝也不容。我的钱就在你手里，你看看咱们第三次出来已经多长时间了，你每月该拿多少钱，你就自己拿吧。”

8
-

“您跟参孙·卡拉斯科不是很熟吗，我在为参孙·卡拉斯科的父亲托梅·卡拉斯科干活的时候，”桑乔说，“每月除了吃饭外，还挣两个杜卡多。至于在您这儿我应该挣多少钱，我就不知道了，我只知道当游侠骑士的侍从要比干农活辛苦多了。我们干农活，不管白天干多少活，不管怎么不好，至少可以围着锅吃晚饭，在床上睡觉。可是自从跟了您之后，我就没在床上睡过觉。除了咱们在迭戈·德米兰达家舒服了几天，在卡马乔的聚餐会上从锅里捞了点油水，还有，在巴西利奥家连吃带喝又睡了几天外，其余时间我都是露天睡在坚硬的土地上，忍受着各种恶劣天气，靠干奶酪和面包块充饥，喝的是野地路边的溪水或者泉水。”“我承认你说的都是真的，桑乔。”唐吉诃德说，“那么你说，我该比托梅·卡拉斯科再加多少钱呢？”

9
-

“我觉得如果您每月给我再加两个雷阿尔，”桑乔说，“就很不错了，这可以算是我的工钱。可是，若按照您答应给我一个小岛掌管的话，您应该给我再加六个雷阿尔才对，这样每月加起来就是三十个雷阿尔。”

10
-

“很好，’唐吉诃德说，“工钱就照你说的算。咱们离开村子已经二十五天了，你就按照这个数算吧，桑乔，看看我应该给你多少钱，然后就照我刚才说的，你自己拿吧。”

11
-

“我的天哪！”桑乔说，“您的帐算得太不对了。您答应给我岛屿的那份钱，应该从您答应给我岛屿之日起一直算到现在。”

12
-

“那么我答应你多长时间了，桑乔？”唐吉诃德问。

13
-

“如果我没记错的话，”桑乔回答说，“大概有二十年，再加三天左右。”

14
-

唐吉诃德拍了一下脑门，大笑起来，然后说道：

15
-

“从我在莫雷纳山那段日子到现在才将近两个月，桑乔，你怎么说我已经许给你岛屿二十年了呢？现在我告诉你，你是想用付你工钱的办法把我放在你手里的那些钱都拿走。如果真是这样，只要你愿意，我可以现在就把我的钱全部给你，但愿它能对你有用。只要能甩开如此没良心的侍从，我就是身无分文也高兴。告诉我，你这个游侠骑士侍从的叛逆，你在哪儿见过或者读过，某个游侠骑士的侍从敢在他的主人面前说‘您每月应该付我多少多少工钱’？你说，你说，你这个无赖、混蛋、妖怪！你就是一个十足的无赖、混蛋、妖怪！如果你能在那浩如烟海的骑士小说里找出哪个侍从说过，或者哪怕想过你刚才说的那些话，我就去死。还可以把我算成是傻瓜。掉转你的驴，回家去吧。从现在起，你没有必要再跟我往前走一步了，我的好心算让狗给吃了！我的诺言也算白说了！你这个人真是连猪狗都不如！我正要抬举你，让你老婆喊你‘大人’，你却要告辞了？我正打定主意要让你成为世界上最好的岛屿的总督，你却要走了？这真像你常说的那样，‘蜜不是喂驴的’。你是驴，你就是驴，你到死也只能是头驴。

16
-

依我看，你到死也不会知道你是个畜生。”

17
-

桑乔目不转睛地盯着唐吉诃德，听着主人骂自己，内疚不已。他眼里噙着泪花，声音颤抖地说道：

18
-

“我的主人，我承认除了差一条尾巴外，我真成一头驴了。如果您愿意给我安上一条尾巴，我很愿意戴上它，这一辈子每天都像驴一样侍奉您。请您原谅我不懂事。您也知道，我懂得很少。如果我说多了，那也是糊涂而决非恶意，况且，‘知错就改，上帝所爱’嘛。”

19
-

“你要是说话不带点俏皮话才怪呢，桑乔。那好，只要你改了，从今以后不再热衷于打小算盘，而是心胸宽广，振作精神，等待我的诺言实现，我就原谅你。我许的诺言尽管还没有实现，但并不是不可能的。”

20
-

桑乔强打起精神，说他一定照办。

21
-

两人说着话进入了那片杨树林。唐吉诃德躺在一棵榆树下，桑乔躺在一棵出毛榉树下，但这里的树都已经是只有根没有叶了。桑乔这一夜过得很难受，安静下来以后，棍子打的地方显得更疼了。唐吉诃德则整夜不断地思念心上人。尽管如此，两人最后都进入了梦乡。第二天天亮以后，两人又继续赶路，向著名的埃布罗河岸边走去。下一章将记述他们在那里遇到的事情。

22

All were silent, Tyrians and Trojans; I mean all who were watching the show were hanging on the lips of the interpreter of its wonders, when drums and trumpets were heard to sound inside it and cannon to go off. The noise was soon over, and then the boy lifted up his voice and said, “This true story which is here represented to your worships is taken word for word from the French chronicles and from the Spanish ballads that are in everybody’s mouth, and in the mouth of the boys about the streets. Its subject is the release by Senor Don Gaiferos of his wife Melisendra, when a captive in Spain at the hands of the Moors in the city of Sansuena, for so they called then what is now called Saragossa; and there you may see how Don Gaiferos is playing at the tables, just as they sing it —

And that personage who appears there with a crown on his head and a sceptre in his hand is the Emperor Charlemagne, the supposed father of Melisendra, who, angered to see his son-in-law’s inaction and unconcern, comes in to chide him; and observe with what vehemence and energy he chides him, so that you would fancy he was going to give him half a dozen raps with his sceptre; and indeed there are authors who say he did give them, and sound ones too; and after having said a great deal to him about imperilling his honour by not effecting the release of his wife, he said, so the tale runs,

Observe, too, how the emperor turns away, and leaves Don Gaiferos fuming; and you see now how in a burst of anger, he flings the table and the board far from him and calls in haste for his armour, and asks his cousin Don Roland for the loan of his sword, Durindana, and how Don Roland refuses to lend it, offering him his company in the difficult enterprise he is undertaking; but he, in his valour and anger, will not accept it, and says that he alone will suffice to rescue his wife, even though she were imprisoned deep in the centre of the earth, and with this he retires to arm himself and set out on his journey at once. Now let your worships turn your eyes to that tower that appears there, which is supposed to be one of the towers of the alcazar of Saragossa, now called the Aljaferia; that lady who appears on that balcony dressed in Moorish fashion is the peerless Melisendra, for many a time she used to gaze from thence upon the road to France, and seek consolation in her captivity by thinking of Paris and her husband. Observe, too, a new incident which now occurs, such as, perhaps, never was seen. Do you not see that Moor, who silently and stealthily, with his finger on his lip, approaches Melisendra from behind? Observe now how he prints a kiss upon her lips, and what a hurry she is in to spit, and wipe them with the white sleeve of her smock, and how she bewails herself, and tears her fair hair as though it were to blame for the wrong. Observe, too, that the stately Moor who is in that corridor is King Marsilio of Sansuena, who, having seen the Moor’s insolence, at once orders him (though his kinsman and a great favourite of his) to be seized and given two hundred lashes, while carried through the streets of the city according to custom, with criers going before him and officers of justice behind; and here you see them come out to execute the sentence, although the offence has been scarcely committed; for among the Moors there are no indictments nor remands as with us.”

Here Don Quixote called out, “Child, child, go straight on with your story, and don’t run into curves and slants, for to establish a fact clearly there is need of a great deal of proof and confirmation;” and said Master Pedro from within, “Boy, stick to your text and do as the gentleman bids you; it’s the best plan; keep to your plain song, and don’t attempt harmonies, for they are apt to break down from being over fine.”

“I will,” said the boy, and he went on to say, “This figure that you see here on horseback, covered with a Gascon cloak, is Don Gaiferos himself, whom his wife, now avenged of the insult of the amorous Moor, and taking her stand on the balcony of the tower with a calmer and more tranquil countenance, has perceived without recognising him; and she addresses her husband, supposing him to be some traveller, and holds with him all that conversation and colloquy in the ballad that runs —

which I do not repeat here because prolixity begets disgust; suffice it to observe how Don Gaiferos discovers himself, and that by her joyful gestures Melisendra shows us she has recognised him; and what is more, we now see she lowers herself from the balcony to place herself on the haunches of her good husband’s horse. But ah! unhappy lady, the edge of her petticoat has caught on one of the bars of the balcony and she is left hanging in the air, unable to reach the ground. But you see how compassionate heaven sends aid in our sorest need; Don Gaiferos advances, and without minding whether the rich petticoat is torn or not, he seizes her and by force brings her to the ground, and then with one jerk places her on the haunches of his horse, astraddle like a man, and bids her hold on tight and clasp her arms round his neck, crossing them on his breast so as not to fall, for the lady Melisendra was not used to that style of riding. You see, too, how the neighing of the horse shows his satisfaction with the gallant and beautiful burden he bears in his lord and lady. You see how they wheel round and quit the city, and in joy and gladness take the road to Paris. Go in peace, O peerless pair of true lovers! May you reach your longed-for fatherland in safety, and may fortune interpose no impediment to your prosperous journey; may the eyes of your friends and kinsmen behold you enjoying in peace and tranquillity the remaining days of your life — and that they may be as many as those of Nestor!”

The interpreter made no answer, but went on to say, “There was no want of idle eyes, that see everything, to see Melisendra come down and mount, and word was brought to King Marsilio, who at once gave orders to sound the alarm; and see what a stir there is, and how the city is drowned with the sound of the bells pealing in the towers of all the mosques.”

“Nay, nay,” said Don Quixote at this; “on that point of the bells Master Pedro is very inaccurate, for bells are not in use among the Moors; only kettledrums, and a kind of small trumpet somewhat like our clarion; to ring bells this way in Sansuena is unquestionably a great absurdity.”

On hearing this, Master Pedro stopped ringing, and said, “Don’t look into trifles, Senor Don Quixote, or want to have things up to a pitch of perfection that is out of reach. Are there not almost every day a thousand comedies represented all round us full of thousands of inaccuracies and absurdities, and, for all that, they have a successful run, and are listened to not only with applause, but with admiration and all the rest of it? Go on, boy, and don’t mind; for so long as I fill my pouch, no matter if I show as many inaccuracies as there are motes in a sunbeam.”

“True enough,” said Don Quixote; and the boy went on: “See what a numerous and glittering crowd of horsemen issues from the city in pursuit of the two faithful lovers, what a blowing of trumpets there is, what sounding of horns, what beating of drums and tabors; I fear me they will overtake them and bring them back tied to the tail of their own horse, which would be a dreadful sight.”

Don Quixote, however, seeing such a swarm of Moors and hearing such a din, thought it would be right to aid the fugitives, and standing up he exclaimed in a loud voice, “Never, while I live, will I permit foul play to be practised in my presence on such a famous knight and fearless lover as Don Gaiferos. Halt! ill-born rabble, follow him not nor pursue him, or ye will have to reckon with me in battle!” and suiting the action to the word, he drew his sword, and with one bound placed himself close to the show, and with unexampled rapidity and fury began to shower down blows on the puppet troop of Moors, knocking over some, decapitating others, maiming this one and demolishing that; and among many more he delivered one down stroke which, if Master Pedro had not ducked, made himself small, and got out of the way, would have sliced off his head as easily as if it had been made of almond-paste. Master Pedro kept shouting, “Hold hard! Senor Don Quixote! can’t you see they’re not real Moors you’re knocking down and killing and destroying, but only little pasteboard figures! Look — sinner that I am! — how you’re wrecking and ruining all that I’m worth!” But in spite of this, Don Quixote did not leave off discharging a continuous rain of cuts, slashes, downstrokes, and backstrokes, and at length, in less than the space of two credos, he brought the whole show to the ground, with all its fittings and figures shivered and knocked to pieces, King Marsilio badly wounded, and the Emperor Charlemagne with his crown and head split in two. The whole audience was thrown into confusion, the ape fled to the roof of the inn, the cousin was frightened, and even Sancho Panza himself was in mighty fear, for, as he swore after the storm was over, he had never seen his master in such a furious passion.

The complete destruction of the show being thus accomplished, Don Quixote became a little calmer, said, “I wish I had here before me now all those who do not or will not believe how useful knights-errant are in the world; just think, if I had not been here present, what would have become of the brave Don Gaiferos and the fair Melisendra! Depend upon it, by this time those dogs would have overtaken them and inflicted some outrage upon them. So, then, long live knight-errantry beyond everything living on earth this day!”

Not half an hour, nay, barely a minute ago, I saw myself lord of kings and emperors, with my stables filled with countless horses, and my trunks and bags with gay dresses unnumbered; and now I find myself ruined and laid low, destitute and a beggar, and above all without my ape, for, by my faith, my teeth will have to sweat for it before I have him caught; and all through the reckless fury of sir knight here, who, they say, protects the fatherless, and rights wrongs, and does other charitable deeds; but whose generous intentions have been found wanting in my case only, blessed and praised be the highest heavens! Verily, knight of the rueful figure he must be to have disfigured mine.”

Sancho Panza was touched by Master Pedro’s words, and said to him, “Don’t weep and lament, Master Pedro; you break my heart; let me tell you my master, Don Quixote, is so catholic and scrupulous a Christian that, if he can make out that he has done you any wrong, he will own it, and be willing to pay for it and make it good, and something over and above.”

“Only let Senor Don Quixote pay me for some part of the work he has destroyed,” said Master Pedro, “and I would be content, and his worship would ease his conscience, for he cannot be saved who keeps what is another’s against the owner’s will, and makes no restitution.”

“What!” returned Master Pedro; “and these relics lying here on the bare hard ground — what scattered and shattered them but the invincible strength of that mighty arm? And whose were the bodies they belonged to but mine? And what did I get my living by but by them?”

“Now am I fully convinced,” said Don Quixote, “of what I had many a time before believed; that the enchanters who persecute me do nothing more than put figures like these before my eyes, and then change and turn them into what they please. In truth and earnest, I assure you gentlemen who now hear me, that to me everything that has taken place here seemed to take place literally, that Melisendra was Melisendra, Don Gaiferos Don Gaiferos, Marsilio Marsilio, and Charlemagne Charlemagne. That was why my anger was roused; and to be faithful to my calling as a knight-errant I sought to give aid and protection to those who fled, and with this good intention I did what you have seen. If the result has been the opposite of what I intended, it is no fault of mine, but of those wicked beings that persecute me; but, for all that, I am willing to condemn myself in costs for this error of mine, though it did not proceed from malice; let Master Pedro see what he wants for the spoiled figures, for I agree to pay it at once in good and current money of Castile.”

Master Pedro made him a bow, saying, “I expected no less of the rare Christianity of the valiant Don Quixote of La Mancha, true helper and protector of all destitute and needy vagabonds; master landlord here and the great Sancho Panza shall be the arbitrators and appraisers between your worship and me of what these dilapidated figures are worth or may be worth.”

The landlord and Sancho consented, and then Master Pedro picked up from the ground King Marsilio of Saragossa with his head off, and said, “Here you see how impossible it is to restore this king to his former state, so I think, saving your better judgments, that for his death, decease, and demise, four reals and a half may be given me.”

“Let him have the whole five and a quarter,” said Don Quixote; “for the sum total of this notable disaster does not stand on a quarter more or less; and make an end of it quickly, Master Pedro, for it’s getting on to supper-time, and I have some hints of hunger.”

“The very devil must be in it,” said Don Quixote, “if Melisendra and her husband are not by this time at least on the French border, for the horse they rode on seemed to me to fly rather than gallop; so you needn’t try to sell me the cat for the hare, showing me here a noseless Melisendra when she is now, may be, enjoying herself at her ease with her husband in France. God help every one to his own, Master Pedro, and let us all proceed fairly and honestly; and now go on.”

Master Pedro, perceiving that Don Quixote was beginning to wander, and return to his original fancy, was not disposed to let him escape, so he said to him, “This cannot be Melisendra, but must be one of the damsels that waited on her; so if I’m given sixty maravedis for her, I’ll be content and sufficiently paid.”

And so he went on, putting values on ever so many more smashed figures, which, after the two arbitrators had adjusted them to the satisfaction of both parties, came to forty reals and three-quarters; and over and above this sum, which Sancho at once disbursed, Master Pedro asked for two reals for his trouble in catching the ape.

“Let him have them, Sancho,” said Don Quixote; “not to catch the ape, but to get drunk; and two hundred would I give this minute for the good news, to anyone who could tell me positively, that the lady Dona Melisandra and Senor Don Gaiferos were now in France and with their own people.”

“No one could tell us that better than my ape,” said Master Pedro; “but there’s no devil that could catch him now; I suspect, however, that affection and hunger will drive him to come looking for me to-night; but to-morrow will soon be here and we shall see.”

In short, the puppet-show storm passed off, and all supped in peace and good fellowship at Don Quixote’s expense, for he was the height of generosity. Before it was daylight the man with the lances and halberds took his departure, and soon after daybreak the cousin and the page came to bid Don Quixote farewell, the former returning home, the latter resuming his journey, towards which, to help him, Don Quixote gave him twelve reals. Master Pedro did not care to engage in any more palaver with Don Quixote, whom he knew right well; so he rose before the sun, and having got together the remains of his show and caught his ape, he too went off to seek his adventures. The landlord, who did not know Don Quixote, was as much astonished at his mad freaks as at his generosity. To conclude, Sancho, by his master’s orders, paid him very liberally, and taking leave of him they quitted the inn at about eight in the morning and took to the road, where we will leave them to pursue their journey, for this is necessary in order to allow certain other matters to be set forth, which are required to clear up this famous history.
