Part 1 Book 5 Chapter 6 Father Fauchelevent
19世纪30年代的法国。富人乘坐马车,用金餐具吃喝。穷人没有工作,没有食物,没有希望——他们是穷苦人,起义一触即发。法国人民还记得1789年的法国大革命。当时,民众在巴黎街头筑起街垒,死去的人数以千计。这样的时刻又要到来了吗? 这是冉阿让的故事。他坐了19年的牢,终于恢复了自由身。可是,他怎么生活,到哪里去找工作呢?像他这样一个人,还有什么希望呢?这也是沙威的故事,他是一个督察,一个残忍的人,一个冷酷的人。他的人生只有一个目标——把冉阿让再次送进大牢。这还是芳汀的故事,芳汀和她的女儿珂赛特。她们的故事是怎样改变了冉阿让的一生?这也是马吕斯的故事。他是巴黎的一名学生,做好了为起义而牺牲的准备——或是为爱情而死。最后,还有伽弗洛什——一个在巴黎街头流浪的孩子,他没有家,没有亲人,没有鞋穿……可他的脸上总是挂着笑容,心中总是有歌儿在欢唱。
不过,我们要先从冉阿让讲起……
France in the 1830s. The rich ride in carriages, and eat from gold plates. The poor have no work, no food, no hope – they are Les Misérables, and rebellion is in the air. France remembers the French Revolution in 1789, when the people built barricades in the streets of Paris, and the dead were counted in thousands. Is that time coming again?
This is the story of Jean Valjean. A prisoner for nineteen years, now at last he is a free man. But how can he live, where can he find work? What hope is there for a man like him? It is also the story of Javert, a police inspector, a cruel man, a hard man. He wants one thing in life – to send Valjean back to prison. And it is Fantine’s story too, Fantine and her daughter Cosette. How does their story change Valjean’s life? And it is also Marius’s story. He is a student in Paris, ready to die for the rebellion – or for love. And last, there is Gavroche – a boy of the Paris streets, with no home, no family, no shoes... But a boy with a smile on his face and a song in his heart.
But we begin with Jean Valjean...

有一天早晨,马德兰先生经过滨海蒙特勒伊的一条没有铺石块的小街。他听见一阵嘈杂的声音,还远远望见一堆人。他赶到那里。一个叫割风伯伯的老年人刚摔在他的车子下面,因为那拉车的马滑了一交。

1
-

这位割风伯伯是当时一贯歧视马德兰先生的那少数几个冤家之一。割风从前当过乡吏,是一个粗通文墨的农民,马德兰初到那里时,他的生意正开始走上逆运。割风眼见这个普通工人日益富裕,而他自己,一个大老板却渐渐衰败下来,他满腔嫉妒,一遇机会,便竭力暗算马德兰。后来他破了产,年纪老了,又只有一辆小车和一匹马,并无家室儿女,为了生活,只好驾车。

2
-

那匹马的两条后腿跌伤了,爬不起来,老头子陷在车轮中间。那一交摔得很不巧,整个车子的重量都压在他的胸口上。车上的东西相当重。割风伯伯急得惨叫。别人试着拖他出来,但是没有用。如果乱来,帮助得不得法,一阵摇动还可以送他的命。除非把车子从下面撑起来,就别无他法能把他救出来。

3
-

沙威在出事时赶来了,他派了人去找一个千斤顶。

4
-

马德兰先生也来了。大家都恭恭敬敬地让出一条路。

5
-

“救命呀!”割风老头喊着说,“谁是好孩子?救救老人吧。”

6
-

马德兰先生转身向着观众说:

7
-

“你们有千斤顶吗?”

8
-

“已经有人去找了。”一个农民回答说。

9
-

“要多少时候才找得来?”

10
-

“是到最近的地方去找的,到福拉肖,那里有个钉马蹄铁的工人,但是无论如何,总得整整一刻钟。”

11
-

“一刻钟!”马德兰大声说。

12
-

前一晚,下了雨,地浸湿了,那车子正在往地下陷,把那老车夫的胸口越压越紧了。不到五分钟他的肋骨一定会折断。

13
-

“等一刻钟,那不行!”马德兰向在场的那些农民说。

14
-

“只有等!”

15
-

“不过肯定来不及了!你们没看见那车子正在往下陷吗?”

16
-

“圣母!”

17
-

“听我讲,”马德兰又说,“那车子下面还有地方,可以让一个人爬进去,用背把车子顶起来。只要半分钟就可以把这个可怜的人救出来。这儿有一个有腰劲和良心的人吗?有五个金路易①好赚!”

18
-

①路易,金币名,每枚合二十法郎。

19
-

在那堆人里谁都没有动。

20
-

“十个路易。”马德兰说。

21
-

在场的人都把眼睛低了下去,其中有一个低声说:

22
-

“那非得是有神力的人不行。并且弄得不好,连自己也会压死。”

23
-

“来吧!”马德兰又说,“二十路易!”

24
-

仍旧没有动静。

25
-

“他们并不是没有心肝。”一个人的声音说。

26
-

马德兰先生转过身,认出了沙威。他来时没有看见他。

27
-

沙威继续说:

28
-

“他们缺少的是力气。把这样一辆车扛在背上,非有一个特别厉害的人不行。”

29
-

随后,他眼睛盯住马德兰先生,一字一字着重地说下去:

30
-

“马德兰先生,我从来只认得一个人有能力照您的话去做。”

31
-

马德兰吃了一惊。

32
-

沙威用一副不在意的神气接着说下去,但是眼睛不离开马德兰。

33
-

“那个人从前是个苦役犯。”

34
-

“呀!”马德兰说。

35
-

“土伦监牢里的苦役犯。”

36
-

马德兰面无人色。

37
-

那时,那辆车慢慢地继续往下陷。割风伯伯喘着气,吼着说:

38
-

“我吐不出气!我的肋骨要断了!来个千斤顶!或者旁的东西!哎哟!”

39
-

马德兰往四面看。

40
-

“竟没有一个人要赚那二十路易,来救这可怜的老人一命吗?”

41
-

在场没有一个人动。沙威又说:

42
-

“我从来只认得一个能替代千斤顶的人,就是那个苦役犯。”

43
-

“呀!我被压死了!”那老人喊着说。

44
-

马德兰抬起头来,正遇到沙威那双鹰眼始终盯在他的脸上,马德兰望着那些不动的农民,苦笑了一下。随后,他一言不发,双膝跪下,观众还没来得及叫,他已到了车子下面了。

45
-

有过一阵惊心动魄的静候辰光。

46
-

大家看见马德兰几乎平伏在那一堆骇人的东西下面,两次想使肘弯接近膝头,都没有成功。大家向他喊着说:“马德兰伯伯快出来!”那年老的割风本人也对他说:“马德兰先生!请快走开!我命里该死呢,您瞧!让我去吧!您也会压死在这里!”

47
-

马德兰不回答。

48
-

观众惊惶气塞。车轮又陷下去了一些,马德兰已经没有多大机会从车底出来了。

49
-

忽然,大家看见那一大堆东西动摇起来了,车子慢慢上升了,轮子已从泥坑里起来了一半。一种几乎气绝的声音叫道:“赶快!帮忙!”叫的正是马德兰,他刚使尽了他最后一点气力。

50
-

大家涌上去。一个人的努力带动了所有的人的力气和勇敢。那辆车子竟被二十条胳膊抬了起来。割风老头得免于难。

51
-

马德兰站起来,尽管满头大汗,脸色却是青的。他的衣服撕破了,满身污泥。大家都哭了。那个老头子吻着他的膝头,称他为慈悲的上帝。至于他,他脸上显出了一种说不出的至高至上、快乐无比的惨痛,他把恬静自如的目光注射在沙威的面上,沙威也始终望着他。

52
-

One morning M. Madeleine was passing through an unpaved alley of M. sur M.; he heard a noise, and saw a group some distance away. He approached. An old man named Father Fauchelevent had just fallen beneath his cart, his horse having tumbled down.

This Fauchelevent was one of the few enemies whom M. Madeleine had at that time. When Madeleine arrived in the neighborhood, Fauchelevent, an ex-notary and a peasant who was almost educated, had a business which was beginning to be in a bad way. Fauchelevent had seen this simple workman grow rich, while he, a lawyer, was being ruined. This had filled him with jealousy, and he had done all he could, on every occasion, to injure Madeleine. Then bankruptcy had come; and as the old man had nothing left but a cart and a horse, and neither family nor children, he had turned carter.

The horse had two broken legs and could not rise. The old man was caught in the wheels. The fall had been so unlucky that the whole weight of the vehicle rested on his breast. The cart was quite heavily laden. Father Fauchelevent was rattling in the throat in the most lamentable manner. They had tried, but in vain, to drag him out. An unmethodical effort, aid awkwardly given, a wrong shake, might kill him. It was impossible to disengage him otherwise than by lifting the vehicle off of him. Javert, who had come up at the moment of the accident, had sent for a jack-screw.

The cart was sinking deeper into the earth every moment, and crushing the old carter’s breast more and more. It was evident that his ribs would be broken in five minutes more.

"Listen," resumed Madeleine; "there is still room enough under the cart to allow a man to crawl beneath it and raise it with his back. Only half a minute, and the poor man can be taken out. Is there any one here who has stout loins and heart? There are five louis d’or to be earned!"

They beheld Madeleine, almost flat on his stomach beneath that terrible weight, make two vain efforts to bring his knees and his elbows together. They shouted to him, "Father Madeleine, come out!" Old Fauchelevent himself said to him, "Monsieur Madeleine, go away! You see that I am fated to die! Leave me! You will get yourself crushed also!" Madeleine made no reply.
