堂吉诃德|Don Quixote

Part 2 第35章|Part 2 Chapter 33

属类： 双语小说 【分类】世界名著 -[作者: 塞万提斯] 阅读：[44642]
《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。

随着优美的音乐，一辆彩车向他们开来。彩车由六匹披着白麻布的棕色骡子拉着，而每匹骡子背上都骑着一位光赎罪者①。他们都穿着白衣服，手里各举一支大蜡烛。这辆车比刚才那几辆车大两三倍，车上两侧站着另十二名赎罪者。他们的衣服比雪还白，手里也都拿着点燃的大蜡烛，让人惊奇不已。在高高的宝座上端坐着一位仙女。她身穿千层银纱，纱上又有极小的金箔点缀，即使称不上华丽，至少也可以说是引人注目。她的脸上罩着薄纱，透过轻纱，可以看到她那清秀无比的脸庞。明亮的烛光可以让人看出她的较好容貌与妙龄，看起来还不到二十岁，但是又超过十七岁。她的身旁是一个身穿拖地衣的人。那人的衣服盖到了脚面，头上还罩着黑纱巾。车子到公爵、公爵夫人和唐吉诃德面前停下了，音乐声戛然而止。接着，车上又响起了竖琴和诗琴声。穿拖地长袍的人站了起来，把衣服向两边掀开，又揭掉头上的纱巾，竟露出一具骷髅相，十分难看。唐吉诃德见了不禁有些惊慌，桑乔见了更是怕得要死，公爵和公爵夫人也有些惴惴不安。这个活骷髅站起来，声音仍带着某种睡意，舌头有些发涩地说道：

“见他的鬼去吧！”桑乔说，“别说打三千鞭子，就是打我三鞭子，也跟捅我三刀一样疼！这叫什么解除魔法的鬼主意呀！上帝保佑，如果解除杜尔西内亚所遭受的魔法，梅尔林大人只有这个办法，那还是让杜尔西内亚带着魔法进坟墓去吧！”

51
-

“你这个乡巴佬，没有教养的东西，”唐吉诃德说，“我真该把你捆在树上，剥得一丝不挂，不是打你三千三百鞭子，而是打你六千六百鞭子，而且要打得结结实实，让你挣三千三百下也挣脱不了！你别跟我顶嘴，否则我就宰了你。”

52
-

梅尔林闻言说道：

53
-

“别这样，应该让善良的桑乔在自愿的时候自觉地吃鞭子，不要强迫。不要给他规定期限。如果桑乔愿意让别人来打，可以给他减少一半数量，不过那就可能打得重些。”

54
-

“不管是别人打还是我自己打，不管是手重还是手轻，”桑乔说，“谁也休想碰我一下。难道我是为了杜尔西内亚才活着的吗？她的脸受了罪就该让我拿屁股来补偿吗？我的主人跟她才是一回事呢，动不动就叫她‘我的宝贝’、‘我的命根子’、‘我的靠山’什么的，他才应该为杜尔西内亚受过，为杜尔西内亚摆脱魔法尽心竭力呢！为什么要打我？我‘急绝’！”

55
-

桑乔刚说完，梅尔林身边那位披着银纱的少女就站起身来，掀掉脸上的薄纱，露出一张非常美丽的脸庞。她的举止有些男子气，而且声音也不像女子，她面对桑乔说道：“你这个倒霉的侍从，愚蠢的家伙，硬心肠的东西，坏蛋，不要脸的人，人类的公敌！如果有人命令你从一个高塔上跳下来，要求你吃一打癞蛤蟆、两条蜥蜴和三条蛇，劝你用一把又长又尖的大刀把你老婆孩子都杀了，而你犹豫彷徨逃避，那倒还不算新鲜。想不到只挨三千三百鞭子，你就当回事了，孤儿院收养的那些孤儿，不管淘气不淘气，哪个月不挨鞭子？像你这么说，哪个慈善心肠的人听见了，哪怕是以后听见了，不会诧异愕然？你这个可怜而又狠心的畜生，用你那双贼眼看看我的眼睛吧，和我这双明亮的眼睛比较一下吧，你就会看到泪水正一缕缕缓慢而持续地流淌，在我美丽的面颊上形成了一条条沟沟坎坎。动动心吧，你这个卑鄙恶毒的妖怪。我正值豆蔻年华，我才十几岁，才十九岁，还不到二十岁，却要在这农妇的相貌下凋零枯萎！也许我现在的样子还不像农妇，那是这位在场的梅尔林大人特别关照的结果，而这仅仅是为了让你见到我的美貌后心肠变软。我这痛苦的美貌，即使石头见了也会变成像棉花一样软，即使猛虎见了也会变成像绵羊一样温顺。赶紧打吧，你这桀骜不驯的怪兽，拿出你吃东西的那股劲头来，恢复我平滑的肌肤、温顺的性情和秀丽的面容吧。如果你的心不愿为我所动，不愿为我效劳，你也该为你身旁这位可怜的骑士着想呀！我是指你的主人，我看见他的灵魂已经哽在喉咙里，离嘴唇不远了，只等你一个冷酷或温情的回答，就会脱口而出或者咽回肚里呢。”

56
-

唐吉诃德听到此话，用手摸了摸喉咙，转身对公爵说道：

57
-

“我向上帝发誓，大人，杜尔西内亚说的是真的，我的灵魂已经在喉咙这儿了，正哽在这里呢。”

58
-

“你说这事该怎么办呢，桑乔？”公爵夫人问。

59
-

“夫人，”桑乔说，“我还是刚才那句话，我‘急绝！’”

60
-

“应该说‘拒绝’，桑乔，你刚才说得不对。”公爵说。

61
-

“您别跟我那么较真儿。”桑乔说，“我现在没时间考虑那么细，说得差不多就行了。我应该挨的这些鞭子，或者我必须挨的这些鞭子，搅得我心烦意乱，我也不知道该怎么说，怎么做了。我倒是想知道，我们的杜尔西内亚夫人从哪儿学会了这样央求人。她让我露出肉来挨打，却骂我是愚蠢的家伙、桀骜的怪兽等一大串难听的话，谁能受得了呀！难道我的皮肉是铁打的，或者跟是否能解除魔法有什么相干？她并没有拿一筐家用的白单子、衬衫、头巾和短袜来感谢我呀！老实说，这些东西我都用不着，可是总不该一句接一句地骂我呀。她知道不知道俗话说的，‘驴背驮金，上山才有劲’，‘礼物能够打碎顽石’，‘一边求上帝，一边给实惠’，‘给一样胜过两声空许诺’？至于我的主人，也应该好好地哄我，让我高兴，我不就服服帖帖了吗？可是他却说要抓住我，剥光我的衣服，把我捆在树上，再多打一倍鞭子！若真是那样，诸位好心的大人不妨想想，挨打的人不光是侍从，而且还是总督呢！就像人们常说的，‘那就更不得了啦’！这帮人真该好好学学怎样央求人，学学讲礼貌。就是同一个人，也不会总是那么好脾气呀。我现在看见我的绿猎装撕破了正难过得要死，他们却来让我心甘情愿地挨鞭打，这不是自找没趣嘛！”

62
-

“实际上，桑乔朋友，”公爵说，“如果你不服服帖帖，你就谋不到总督的位置。如果我给我的臣民委派一个残忍冷酷、在落难女子的眼泪和德高望重的魔法师的请求面前毫不动心的总督，那合适吗？反正一句话，桑乔，或者你鞭打自己，或者让别人鞭打你，不然你就休想当总督。”

63
-

“大人，”桑乔说，“您给我两天期限，让我考虑一下哪种情况对我最好，行吗？”

64
-

“不行，绝对不行，”梅尔林说，“必须在此时此地就作出决定。或者杜尔西内亚回到蒙特西诺斯洞窟去，恢复她农妇的模样，或者让她到极乐的福地去等着你完成挨打的数目。”

65
-

“喂，好桑乔，”公爵夫人说，“你既然吃了唐吉诃德大人这碗饭，就应该鼓足劲，好好给他干。对于这样品德优秀、道德高尚的骑士，我们大家都应该效劳，满足他的要求。挨鞭子的事，你就答应吧。办事要快，免得夜长梦多。‘好心可以解厄运’，这点你很清楚。”

66
-

听公爵夫人这么一说，桑乔忽然对梅尔林胡说八道起来。

67
-

桑乔问道：

68
-

“请您告诉我，梅尔林大人，刚才那个该死的驿车向导给我的主人带来了蒙特西诺斯的口信，让我的主人在这儿等他，他要来教我的主人为杜尔西内亚解除魔法。可是到现在，我并没见到蒙特西诺斯或其他类似的人呀。”

69
-

梅尔林答道：

70
-

“桑乔朋友，那个该死的向导是个大笨蛋、大坏蛋。我派他来找你的主人，并不是叫他传达蒙特西诺斯的口信，而是传达我的口信。蒙特西诺斯现在仍在洞窟里，正等着为他解除魔法呢，尽管现在只差最后一步了。如果有什么需要他为你做的事情，或者你有什么事情要跟他商量，我可以把他叫来，把他送到你指定的任何地方。不过，现在你还是先答应挨鞭子的事儿吧。请你相信我，无论从精神上还是从肉体上，这都会对你有好处。从精神上说，它可以使你更仁慈；从肉体上说，我知道你是多血的体质，出点儿血没什么关系。”

71
-

“世界上医生真多，连魔法师都成医生了。”桑乔说，“既然大家都这么说，尽管我并不自愿，我还是说愿意挨这三千三百鞭子吧。不过有个条件，那就是必须在我高兴的时候才打，不能给我规定期限。我争取尽快把这笔帐了结，让大家都能欣赏到杜尔西内亚的美貌。看来她与我想象的不一样，真的很漂亮。我还有个条件，那就是不能要求我非得打出血不可，假如有几下打得像拍蚊子似的，那也得算数。还有，就是为了防止我数错，无所不知的梅尔林大人得认真计数，告诉我是打少了还是打多了。”

72
-

“打多了也用不着通知，”梅尔林说，“因为只要打够了数，杜尔西内亚夫人身上的魔法就会立即被解除，她就会立即跑来向好人桑乔致谢，弄好了还会奖励你呢。所以，你没有必要计较打多了或打少了。老天不会允许我欺骗任何人，哪怕是一丝一毫。”

73
-

“哎，那就干吧！”桑乔说，“我只好认倒霉了。我是说我同意挨打，但是要遵守我刚才说的那些条件。”

74
-

桑乔刚说完这句话，笛号和音乐声顿时响起，又放了一阵阵火枪。唐吉诃德勾住桑乔的脖子，在桑乔的额头和脸颊上吻个不停。公爵夫人和公爵都显出极其高兴的样子。那辆牛车走了起来，经过公爵夫妇面前时，杜尔西内亚向他们低头行礼，又向桑乔深深地鞠了一躬。

75
-

此时天已渐明，一片喜气洋洋的景象，田野间的花草昂首挺立，跳珠溅玉般的溪水在白色和褐色的卵石间低吟，汇入远处的河流。大地欢唱，天空明朗，阳光柔和，所有景象都预示着与黎明一起到来的这一天是宁静晴朗的一天。公爵和公爵夫人对打猎的结果感到满意，也为他们机智顺利地达到了预期的目的而感到高兴。他们又回到城堡，准备继续把玩笑开下去。他们觉得再没有比这更有意思的事情了。

76

The history records that Sancho did not sleep that afternoon, but in order to keep his word came, before he had well done dinner, to visit the duchess, who, finding enjoyment in listening to him, made him sit down beside her on a low seat, though Sancho, out of pure good breeding, wanted not to sit down; the duchess, however, told him he was to sit down as governor and talk as squire, as in both respects he was worthy of even the chair of the Cid Ruy Diaz the Campeador. Sancho shrugged his shoulders, obeyed, and sat down, and all the duchess’s damsels and duennas gathered round him, waiting in profound silence to hear what he would say. It was the duchess, however, who spoke first, saying:

“Now that we are alone, and that there is nobody here to overhear us, I should be glad if the senor governor would relieve me of certain doubts I have, rising out of the history of the great Don Quixote that is now in print. One is: inasmuch as worthy Sancho never saw Dulcinea, I mean the lady Dulcinea del Toboso, nor took Don Quixote’s letter to her, for it was left in the memorandum book in the Sierra Morena, how did he dare to invent the answer and all that about finding her sifting wheat, the whole story being a deception and falsehood, and so much to the prejudice of the peerless Dulcinea’s good name, a thing that is not at all becoming the character and fidelity of a good squire?”

At these words, Sancho, without uttering one in reply, got up from his chair, and with noiseless steps, with his body bent and his finger on his lips, went all round the room lifting up the hangings; and this done, he came back to his seat and said, “Now, senora, that I have seen that there is no one except the bystanders listening to us on the sly, I will answer what you have asked me, and all you may ask me, without fear or dread. And the first thing I have got to say is, that for my own part I hold my master Don Quixote to be stark mad, though sometimes he says things that, to my mind, and indeed everybody’s that listens to him, are so wise, and run in such a straight furrow, that Satan himself could not have said them better; but for all that, really, and beyond all question, it’s my firm belief he is cracked. Well, then, as this is clear to my mind, I can venture to make him believe things that have neither head nor tail, like that affair of the answer to the letter, and that other of six or eight days ago, which is not yet in history, that is to say, the affair of the enchantment of my lady Dulcinea; for I made him believe she is enchanted, though there’s no more truth in it than over the hills of Ubeda.

The duchess begged him to tell her about the enchantment or deception, so Sancho told the whole story exactly as it had happened, and his hearers were not a little amused by it; and then resuming, the duchess said, “In consequence of what worthy Sancho has told me, a doubt starts up in my mind, and there comes a kind of whisper to my ear that says, ‘If Don Quixote be mad, crazy, and cracked, and Sancho Panza his squire knows it, and, notwithstanding, serves and follows him, and goes trusting to his empty promises, there can be no doubt he must be still madder and sillier than his master; and that being so, it will be cast in your teeth, senora duchess, if you give the said Sancho an island to govern; for how will he who does not know how to govern himself know how to govern others?’”

“By God, senora,” said Sancho, “but that doubt comes timely; but your grace may say it out, and speak plainly, or as you like; for I know what you say is true, and if I were wise I should have left my master long ago; but this was my fate, this was my bad luck; I can’t help it, I must follow him; we’re from the same village, I’ve eaten his bread, I’m fond of him, I’m grateful, he gave me his ass-colts, and above all I’m faithful; so it’s quite impossible for anything to separate us, except the pickaxe and shovel. And if your highness does not like to give me the government you promised, God made me without it, and maybe your not giving it to me will be all the better for my conscience, for fool as I am I know the proverb ‘to her hurt the ant got wings,’ and it may be that Sancho the squire will get to heaven sooner than Sancho the governor. ‘They make as good bread here as in France,’ and ‘by night all cats are grey,’ and ‘a hard case enough his, who hasn’t broken his fast at two in the afternoon,’ and ‘there’s no stomach a hand’s breadth bigger than another,’ and the same can he filled ‘with straw or hay,’ as the saying is, and ‘the little birds of the field have God for their purveyor and caterer,’ and ‘four yards of Cuenca frieze keep one warmer than four of Segovia broad-cloth,’ and ‘when we quit this world and are put underground the prince travels by as narrow a path as the journeyman,’ and ‘the Pope’s body does not take up more feet of earth than the sacristan’s ,’ for all that the one is higher than the other; for when we go to our graves we all pack ourselves up and make ourselves small, or rather they pack us up and make us small in spite of us, and then — good night to us. And I say once more, if your ladyship does not like to give me the island because I’m a fool, like a wise man I will take care to give myself no trouble about it; I have heard say that ‘behind the cross there’s the devil,’ and that ‘all that glitters is not gold,’ and that from among the oxen, and the ploughs, and the yokes, Wamba the husbandman was taken to be made King of Spain, and from among brocades, and pleasures, and riches, Roderick was taken to be devoured by adders, if the verses of the old ballads don’t lie.”

“To be sure they don’t lie!” exclaimed Dona Rodriguez, the duenna, who was one of the listeners. “Why, there’s a ballad that says they put King Rodrigo alive into a tomb full of toads, and adders, and lizards, and that two days afterwards the king, in a plaintive, feeble voice, cried out from within the tomb —

The duchess could not help laughing at the simplicity of her duenna, or wondering at the language and proverbs of Sancho, to whom she said, “Worthy Sancho knows very well that when once a knight has made a promise he strives to keep it, though it should cost him his life. My lord and husband the duke, though not one of the errant sort, is none the less a knight for that reason, and will keep his word about the promised island, in spite of the envy and malice of the world. Let Sancho he of good cheer; for when he least expects it he will find himself seated on the throne of his island and seat of dignity, and will take possession of his government that he may discard it for another of three-bordered brocade. The charge I give him is to be careful how he governs his vassals, bearing in mind that they are all loyal and well-born.”

“As to governing them well,” said Sancho, “there’s no need of charging me to do that, for I’m kind-hearted by nature, and full of compassion for the poor; there’s no stealing the loaf from him who kneads and bakes;’ and by my faith it won’t do to throw false dice with me; I am an old dog, and I know all about ‘tus, tus;’ I can be wide-awake if need be, and I don’t let clouds come before my eyes, for I know where the shoe pinches me; I say so, because with me the good will have support and protection, and the bad neither footing nor access. And it seems to me that, in governments, to make a beginning is everything; and maybe, after having been governor a fortnight, I’ll take kindly to the work and know more about it than the field labour I have been brought up to.”

“You are right, Sancho,” said the duchess, “for no one is born ready taught, and the bishops are made out of men and not out of stones. But to return to the subject we were discussing just now, the enchantment of the lady Dulcinea, I look upon it as certain, and something more than evident, that Sancho’s idea of practising a deception upon his master, making him believe that the peasant girl was Dulcinea and that if he did not recognise her it must be because she was enchanted, was all a device of one of the enchanters that persecute Don Quixote. For in truth and earnest, I know from good authority that the coarse country wench who jumped up on the ass was and is Dulcinea del Toboso, and that worthy Sancho, though he fancies himself the deceiver, is the one that is deceived; and that there is no more reason to doubt the truth of this, than of anything else we never saw. Senor Sancho Panza must know that we too have enchanters here that are well disposed to us, and tell us what goes on in the world, plainly and distinctly, without subterfuge or deception; and believe me, Sancho, that agile country lass was and is Dulcinea del Toboso, who is as much enchanted as the mother that bore her; and when we least expect it, we shall see her in her own proper form, and then Sancho will he disabused of the error he is under at present.”

“All that’s very possible,” said Sancho Panza; “and now I’m willing to believe what my master says about what he saw in the cave of Montesinos, where he says he saw the lady Dulcinea del Toboso in the very same dress and apparel that I said I had seen her in when I enchanted her all to please myself. It must be all exactly the other way, as your ladyship says; because it is impossible to suppose that out of my poor wit such a cunning trick could be concocted in a moment, nor do I think my master is so mad that by my weak and feeble persuasion he could be made to believe a thing so out of all reason. But, senora, your excellence must not therefore think me ill-disposed, for a dolt like me is not bound to see into the thoughts and plots of those vile enchanters. I invented all that to escape my master’s scolding, and not with any intention of hurting him; and if it has turned out differently, there is a God in heaven who judges our hearts.”

Sancho upon this related to her, word for word, what has been said already touching that adventure, and having heard it the duchess said, “From this occurrence it may be inferred that, as the great Don Quixote says he saw there the same country wench Sancho saw on the way from El Toboso, it is, no doubt, Dulcinea, and that there are some very active and exceedingly busy enchanters about.”

“So I say,” said Sancho, “and if my lady Dulcinea is enchanted, so much the worse for her, and I’m not going to pick a quarrel with my master’s enemies, who seem to be many and spiteful. The truth is that the one I saw was a country wench, and I set her down to be a country wench; and if that was Dulcinea it must not be laid at my door, nor should I be called to answer for it or take the consequences. But they must go nagging at me at every step — ‘Sancho said it, Sancho did it, Sancho here, Sancho there,’ as if Sancho was nobody at all, and not that same Sancho Panza that’s now going all over the world in books, so Samson Carrasco told me, and he’s at any rate one that’s a bachelor of Salamanca; and people of that sort can’t lie, except when the whim seizes them or they have some very good reason for it. So there’s no occasion for anybody to quarrel with me; and then I have a good character, and, as I have heard my master say, ‘a good name is better than great riches;’ let them only stick me into this government and they’ll see wonders, for one who has been a good squire will be a good governor.”

“All worthy Sancho’s observations,” said the duchess, “are Catonian sentences, or at any rate out of the very heart of Michael Verino himself, who florentibus occidit annis. In fact, to speak in his own style, ‘under a bad cloak there’s often a good drinker.’”

“Indeed, senora,” said Sancho, “I never yet drank out of wickedness; from thirst I have very likely, for I have nothing of the hypocrite in me; I drink when I’m inclined, or, if I’m not inclined, when they offer it to me, so as not to look either strait-laced or ill-bred; for when a friend drinks one’s health what heart can be so hard as not to return it? But if I put on my shoes I don’t dirty them; besides, squires to knights-errant mostly drink water, for they are always wandering among woods, forests and meadows, mountains and crags, without a drop of wine to be had if they gave their eyes for it.”
