堂吉诃德|Don Quixote

Part 2 第64章|Part 2 Chapter 62

属类: 双语小说 【分类】世界名著 -[作者: 塞万提斯] 阅读:[44345]
《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。

安东尼奥·莫雷诺的夫人见安娜·费利克斯来到她家非常高兴,十分热情地接待了安娜·费利克斯。她不仅喜欢安娜·费利克斯的美貌,而且喜欢她的聪敏,在这两方面,安娜·费利克斯都可以说是出类拔萃。全城居民都跑出来看安娜·费利克斯。

1
-

唐吉诃德对安东尼奥说,他觉得大家商定的解救加斯帕尔的方法不妥,而且很危险,最好是让他全身披挂,带着他的马去柏培拉。即使全体摩尔人出动,他也能把加斯帕尔救出来,就像唐盖费罗斯那次救他夫人梅丽森德拉一样。

2
-

“您别忘了,”桑乔说,“唐盖费罗斯是从陆地上把他妻子救出来,而且是通过陆地把妻子送到法国的。可我们即使把加斯帕尔救出来,中间隔着海,也无法把他送回西班牙。”

3
-

“天无绝人之路,”唐吉诃德说,“只要船到岸边,我们肯定能上岸,多少人也拦不住。”

4
-

“您说得倒轻巧,”桑乔说,“可是说来容易做到难。我还是主张让那个叛教者去。他是个好人,心肠也很好。”

5
-

安东尼奥说,如果叛教者没能把事情办好,他就请唐吉诃德出征柏培拉。

6
-

两天后,叛教者乘一条六对桨的小船出发了,船上配备了勇敢的划船手。又过了两天,那几艘大船也驶往东方。临行前,将军请求总督把营救格雷戈里奥的情况和安娜·费利克斯的状况告诉他,总督答应一定做到。

7
-

一天清晨,唐吉诃德全身披挂地在海滩上散步。就像他常说的,甲胄即服装,战斗即休息,所以他总是甲胄不离身。此时他忽然发现,前面有一个同样全副武装的骑士向他走来,骑士的盾牌上还画着一个亮晶晶的月亮。那人走到两人相互听得见的距离,便提高嗓门对唐吉诃德说道:

8
-

“受到举世称赞的杰出骑士,曼查的唐吉诃德啊,我是白月骑士,我的英雄业绩也许你还记忆犹新。我特来向你挑战,试试你臂膀的力量,要你承认我的情人,别管她是谁,都显而易见地比托博索的杜尔西内亚漂亮。如果你痛痛快快地承认这个事实,我可以免你一死,我也就不用再劳神动手了。假如你同我比试,而且我战胜了你,我只要求你放下武器,并且不再征险,回到你的家乡一年内不许出来。在这期间,你不许舞刀弄剑,老老实实地过日子,这样才能增加你的财富,拯救你的灵魂。假如你打败了我,我的脑袋就交给你了,我的盔甲和马匹成为你的战利品,我的功名也都转让到你的名下。你看怎么办好吧,马上告诉我,我今天就要把这件事了结。”

9
-

唐吉诃德对这位趾高气扬的白月骑士的挑战甚感意外和惊奇。他心平气和但又神态严肃地对白月骑士说道:“白月骑士,你的业绩我至今没听说过。我可以向你发誓,你从未见过尊贵的杜尔西内亚。如果你见过她,就不会向我提出这种要求了。你的亲眼所见就会让你明白,世界上没有也不可能有能与杜尔西内亚相比的美貌。所以,我不说你撒了谎,只说你讲得不对。你刚才提出的挑战条件我接受,而且,咱们马上就进行决斗吧,今天决定的事情就别拖到明天。不过,你提出的条件中有一条我不能接受,就是你要把你的功名让给我那条。我不知道你有什么业绩,而且我有自己的业绩就够了,且不管我的业绩如何。你任意选择你的位置站好吧,我也选择好我的位置,现在,就请上帝保佑,老天祝福吧。”

10
-

城里有人发现了白月骑士,马上报告了总督,说白月骑士正在同唐吉诃德说话。总督估计,肯定又是安东尼奥或者城里的其他某位绅士出的点子,便带着安东尼奥和其他绅士一起赶到了海滩。他们赶到时,唐吉诃德正掉转马的缰绳,准备站到自己的位置上去。总督见两个人眼看就要对冲过去,便站到了两人中间,问他们为什么忽然想起要进行这次决斗。

11
-

白月骑士说是为了决定两个女人究竟谁最漂亮,接着便介绍了他对唐吉诃德说的那些话,以及唐吉诃德接受了他的挑战条件等情况。总督走到了安东尼奥身旁,悄声问他是否知道白月骑士是什么人,这是不是同唐吉诃德开个玩笑。安东尼奥说,他也不知道这究竟是玩笑还是真的决斗。听安东尼奥这么一说,总督也拿不定主意这场决斗该不该进行了。不过,他估计是个玩笑,便退到一旁说道:

12
-

“两位骑士大人,既然已经无法调和,就只能决一雌雄了。那好,让唐吉诃德在他的位置上准备好,白月骑士您也准备好,开始吧。”

13
-

白月骑士客客气气地感谢总督慷慨准许他们进行决斗,唐吉诃德也同样表示了谢意。唐吉诃德虔诚地祈求上帝和他的杜尔西内亚保佑他。唐吉诃德每次准备开始战斗时都这样。唐吉诃德见对手纵马跑开,准备把距离拉大一点儿,就自己也催马往远处跑了一点儿。没有号角或其他什么进攻的信号,两个人同时掉转了马头。白月骑士的马跑得比较快,所以,它跑了三分之二的距离才与唐吉诃德相遇。白月骑士并没有用长矛去碰唐吉诃德,好像故意把长矛抬高了一些,只是凭借巨大的惯性,把唐吉诃德连人带马撞倒在地上,而且撞得不轻。然后,白月骑士居高临下地用长矛指着唐吉诃德的护眼罩说道:

14
-

“你输了,骑士,如果你不认可我提出的挑战条件,你就死定了。”

15
-

唐吉诃德摔得浑身疼痛,头晕目眩。他并没有掀开护眼罩,声音就像是从坟墓里发出的一样,有气无力地说道:

16
-

“托博索的杜尔西内亚是世界上最美丽的女人,我是世界上最倒霉的骑士。我不能因为自己的无能而抹杀这个事实。握紧你的长矛,骑士,杀死我吧,我已经名誉扫地了。”

17
-

“我肯定不会杀死你,”白月骑士说,“托博索的杜尔西内亚夫人的美貌名声也不会受到损害。我只要你像咱们开始决斗前商定的那样,回到你的老家去,一年之内,除非我另有吩咐,不准再出来,这就够了。”

18
-

总督、安东尼奥和其他许多在场的人都听到了这些话。他们还听到唐吉诃德说,只要不损害杜尔西内亚,他作为一个说到做到的真正骑士,一切都可以执行。白月骑士听到唐吉诃德这几句话,便掉转马头,向总督点头致意,然后不慌不忙地向城里走去。

19
-

总督吩咐安东尼奥在后面跟着,以便弄清那个白月骑士到底是什么人。大家扶起唐吉诃德,为他卸下面具,只见他面无血色,大汗淋漓。罗西南多伤得不轻,当时已动弹不得。桑乔忧心忡忡,愁眉不展,不知该说什么做什么才好。这件事简直如一场恶梦,他觉得这一切都是魔法操纵的。他见主人已经认输,答应在一年之内不再动兵器,便联想到主人的英名已经黯淡,主人兑现新近答应的诺言的希望已经化为乌有。他担心罗西南多被摔坏了,担心主人骨头脱臼了。不过,如果因此把主人的疯病摔没了,那倒也算是一件幸事。后来,总督派人送来了轿子,大家把唐吉诃德抬到城里。总督也回到城里,急于打听那个把唐吉诃德打得一败涂地的白月骑士究竟是何许人也。

Don Quixote’s host was one Don Antonio Moreno by name, a gentleman of wealth and intelligence, and very fond of diverting himself in any fair and good-natured way; and having Don Quixote in his house he set about devising modes of making him exhibit his mad points in some harmless fashion; for jests that give pain are no jests, and no sport is worth anything if it hurts another. The first thing he did was to make Don Quixote take off his armour, and lead him, in that tight chamois suit we have already described and depicted more than once, out on a balcony overhanging one of the chief streets of the city, in full view of the crowd and of the boys, who gazed at him as they would at a monkey. The cavaliers in livery careered before him again as though it were for him alone, and not to enliven the festival of the day, that they wore it, and Sancho was in high delight, for it seemed to him that, how he knew not, he had fallen upon another Camacho’s wedding, another house like Don Diego de Miranda’s , another castle like the duke’s. Some of Don Antonio’s friends dined with him that day, and all showed honour to Don Quixote and treated him as a knight-errant, and he becoming puffed up and exalted in consequence could not contain himself for satisfaction. Such were the drolleries of Sancho that all the servants of the house, and all who heard him, were kept hanging upon his lips. While at table Don Antonio said to him, “We hear, worthy Sancho, that you are so fond of manjar blanco and forced-meat balls, that if you have any left, you keep them in your bosom for the next day.”

“No, senor, that’s not true,” said Sancho, “for I am more cleanly than greedy, and my master Don Quixote here knows well that we two are used to live for a week on a handful of acorns or nuts. To be sure, if it so happens that they offer me a heifer, I run with a halter; I mean, I eat what I’m given, and make use of opportunities as I find them; but whoever says that I’m an out-of-the-way eater or not cleanly, let me tell him that he is wrong; and I’d put it in a different way if I did not respect the honourable beards that are at the table.”

“Indeed,” said Don Quixote, “Sancho’s moderation and cleanliness in eating might be inscribed and graved on plates of brass, to be kept in eternal remembrance in ages to come. It is true that when he is hungry there is a certain appearance of voracity about him, for he eats at a great pace and chews with both jaws; but cleanliness he is always mindful of; and when he was governor he learned how to eat daintily, so much so that he eats grapes, and even pomegranate pips, with a fork.”

“Ay,” said Sancho, “and of an island called Barataria. I governed it to perfection for ten days; and lost my rest all the time; and learned to look down upon all the governments in the world; I got out of it by taking to flight, and fell into a pit where I gave myself up for dead, and out of which I escaped alive by a miracle.”

Don Quixote then gave them a minute account of the whole affair of Sancho’s government, with which he greatly amused his hearers.

On the cloth being removed Don Antonio, taking Don Quixote by the hand, passed with him into a distant room in which there was nothing in the way of furniture except a table, apparently of jasper, resting on a pedestal of the same, upon which was set up, after the fashion of the busts of the Roman emperors, a head which seemed to be of bronze. Don Antonio traversed the whole apartment with Don Quixote and walked round the table several times, and then said, “Now, Senor Don Quixote, that I am satisfied that no one is listening to us, and that the door is shut, I will tell you of one of the rarest adventures, or more properly speaking strange things, that can be imagined, on condition that you will keep what I say to you in the remotest recesses of secrecy.”

“I swear it,” said Don Quixote, “and for greater security I will put a flag-stone over it; for I would have you know, Senor Don Antonio” (he had by this time learned his name), “that you are addressing one who, though he has ears to hear, has no tongue to speak; so that you may safely transfer whatever you have in your bosom into mine, and rely upon it that you have consigned it to the depths of silence.”

“In reliance upon that promise,” said Don Antonio, “I will astonish you with what you shall see and hear, and relieve myself of some of the vexation it gives me to have no one to whom I can confide my secrets, for they are not of a sort to be entrusted to everybody.”

Don Quixote was puzzled, wondering what could be the object of such precautions; whereupon Don Antonio taking his hand passed it over the bronze head and the whole table and the pedestal of jasper on which it stood, and then said, “This head, Senor Don Quixote, has been made and fabricated by one of the greatest magicians and wizards the world ever saw, a Pole, I believe, by birth, and a pupil of the famous Escotillo of whom such marvellous stories are told. He was here in my house, and for a consideration of a thousand crowns that I gave him he constructed this head, which has the property and virtue of answering whatever questions are put to its ear. He observed the points of the compass, he traced figures, he studied the stars, he watched favourable moments, and at length brought it to the perfection we shall see to-morrow, for on Fridays it is mute, and this being Friday we must wait till the next day. In the interval your worship may consider what you would like to ask it; and I know by experience that in all its answers it tells the truth.”

Don Quixote was amazed at the virtue and property of the head, and was inclined to disbelieve Don Antonio; but seeing what a short time he had to wait to test the matter, he did not choose to say anything except that he thanked him for having revealed to him so mighty a secret. They then quitted the room, Don Antonio locked the door, and they repaired to the chamber where the rest of the gentlemen were assembled. In the meantime Sancho had recounted to them several of the adventures and accidents that had happened his master.

That afternoon they took Don Quixote out for a stroll, not in his armour but in street costume, with a surcoat of tawny cloth upon him, that at that season would have made ice itself sweat. Orders were left with the servants to entertain Sancho so as not to let him leave the house. Don Quixote was mounted, not on Rocinante, but upon a tall mule of easy pace and handsomely caparisoned. They put the surcoat on him, and on the back, without his perceiving it, they stitched a parchment on which they wrote in large letters, “This is Don Quixote of La Mancha.” As they set out upon their excursion the placard attracted the eyes of all who chanced to see him, and as they read out, “This is Don Quixote of La Mancha,” Don Quixote was amazed to see how many people gazed at him, called him by his name, and recognised him, and turning to Don Antonio, who rode at his side, he observed to him, “Great are the privileges knight-errantry involves, for it makes him who professes it known and famous in every region of the earth; see, Don Antonio, even the very boys of this city know me without ever having seen me.”

“True, Senor Don Quixote,” returned Don Antonio; “for as fire cannot be hidden or kept secret, virtue cannot escape being recognised; and that which is attained by the profession of arms shines distinguished above all others.”

It came to pass, however, that as Don Quixote was proceeding amid the acclamations that have been described, a Castilian, reading the inscription on his back, cried out in a loud voice, “The devil take thee for a Don Quixote of La Mancha! What! art thou here, and not dead of the countless drubbings that have fallen on thy ribs? Thou art mad; and if thou wert so by thyself, and kept thyself within thy madness, it would not be so bad; but thou hast the gift of making fools and blockheads of all who have anything to do with thee or say to thee. Why, look at these gentlemen bearing thee company! Get thee home, blockhead, and see after thy affairs, and thy wife and children, and give over these fooleries that are sapping thy brains and skimming away thy wits.”

“Go your own way, brother,” said Don Antonio, “and don’t offer advice to those who don’t ask you for it. Senor Don Quixote is in his full senses, and we who bear him company are not fools; virtue is to be honoured wherever it may be found; go, and bad luck to you, and don’t meddle where you are not wanted.”

“By God, your worship is right,” replied the Castilian; “for to advise this good man is to kick against the pricks; still for all that it fills me with pity that the sound wit they say the blockhead has in everything should dribble away by the channel of his knight-errantry; but may the bad luck your worship talks of follow me and all my descendants, if, from this day forth, though I should live longer than Methuselah, I ever give advice to anybody even if he asks me for it.”

The advice-giver took himself off, and they continued their stroll; but so great was the press of the boys and people to read the placard, that Don Antonio was forced to remove it as if he were taking off something else.

Night came and they went home, and there was a ladies’ dancing party, for Don Antonio’s wife, a lady of rank and gaiety, beauty and wit, had invited some friends of hers to come and do honour to her guest and amuse themselves with his strange delusions. Several of them came, they supped sumptuously, the dance began at about ten o’clock. Among the ladies were two of a mischievous and frolicsome turn, and, though perfectly modest, somewhat free in playing tricks for harmless diversion sake. These two were so indefatigable in taking Don Quixote out to dance that they tired him down, not only in body but in spirit. It was a sight to see the figure Don Quixote made, long, lank, lean, and yellow, his garments clinging tight to him, ungainly, and above all anything but agile.

The gay ladies made secret love to him, and he on his part secretly repelled them, but finding himself hard pressed by their blandishments he lifted up his voice and exclaimed, “Fugite, partes adversae! Leave me in peace, unwelcome overtures; avaunt, with your desires, ladies, for she who is queen of mine, the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso, suffers none but hers to lead me captive and subdue me;” and so saying he sat down on the floor in the middle of the room, tired out and broken down by all this exertion in the dance.

Don Antonio directed him to be taken up bodily and carried to bed, and the first that laid hold of him was Sancho, saying as he did so, “In an evil hour you took to dancing, master mine; do you fancy all mighty men of valour are dancers, and all knights-errant given to capering? If you do, I can tell you you are mistaken; there’s many a man would rather undertake to kill a giant than cut a caper. If it had been the shoe-fling you were at I could take your place, for I can do the shoe-fling like a gerfalcon; but I’m no good at dancing.”

With these and other observations Sancho set the whole ball-room laughing, and then put his master to bed, covering him up well so that he might sweat out any chill caught after his dancing.

The next day Don Antonio thought he might as well make trial of the enchanted head, and with Don Quixote, Sancho, and two others, friends of his, besides the two ladies that had tired out Don Quixote at the ball, who had remained for the night with Don Antonio’s wife, he locked himself up in the chamber where the head was. He explained to them the property it possessed and entrusted the secret to them, telling them that now for the first time he was going to try the virtue of the enchanted head; but except Don Antonio’s two friends no one else was privy to the mystery of the enchantment, and if Don Antonio had not first revealed it to them they would have been inevitably reduced to the same state of amazement as the rest, so artfully and skilfully was it contrived.

The first to approach the ear of the head was Don Antonio himself, and in a low voice but not so low as not to be audible to all, he said to it, “Head, tell me by the virtue that lies in thee what am I at this moment thinking of?”

All were thunderstruck at this, and all the more so as they saw that there was nobody anywhere near the table or in the whole room that could have answered. “How many of us are here?” asked Don Antonio once more; and it was answered him in the same way softly, “Thou and thy wife, with two friends of thine and two of hers, and a famous knight called Don Quixote of La Mancha, and a squire of his, Sancho Panza by name.”

Now there was fresh astonishment; now everyone’s hair was standing on end with awe; and Don Antonio retiring from the head exclaimed, “This suffices to show me that I have not been deceived by him who sold thee to me, O sage head, talking head, answering head, wonderful head! Let some one else go and put what question he likes to it.”

And as women are commonly impulsive and inquisitive, the first to come forward was one of the two friends of Don Antonio’s wife, and her question was, “Tell me, Head, what shall I do to be very beautiful?” and the answer she got was, “Be very modest.”

Her companion then came up and said, “I should like to know, Head, whether my husband loves me or not;” the answer given to her was, “Think how he uses thee, and thou mayest guess;” and the married lady went off saying, “That answer did not need a question; for of course the treatment one receives shows the disposition of him from whom it is received.”

Then one of Don Antonio’s two friends advanced and asked it, “Who am I?” “Thou knowest,” was the answer. “That is not what I ask thee,” said the gentleman, “but to tell me if thou knowest me.” “Yes, I know thee, thou art Don Pedro Noriz,” was the reply.

Don Antonio’s wife came up and said, “I know not what to ask thee, Head; I would only seek to know of thee if I shall have many years of enjoyment of my good husband;” and the answer she received was, “Thou shalt, for his vigour and his temperate habits promise many years of life, which by their intemperance others so often cut short.”

Then Don Quixote came forward and said, “Tell me, thou that answerest, was that which I describe as having happened to me in the cave of Montesinos the truth or a dream? Will Sancho’s whipping be accomplished without fail? Will the disenchantment of Dulcinea be brought about?”

“As to the question of the cave,” was the reply, “there is much to be said; there is something of both in it. Sancho’s whipping will proceed leisurely. The disenchantment of Dulcinea will attain its due consummation.”

The last questioner was Sancho, and his questions were, “Head, shall I by any chance have another government? Shall I ever escape from the hard life of a squire? Shall I get back to see my wife and children?” To which the answer came, “Thou shalt govern in thy house; and if thou returnest to it thou shalt see thy wife and children; and on ceasing to serve thou shalt cease to be a squire.”

Don Quixote took a fancy to stroll about the city quietly and on foot, for he feared that if he went on horseback the boys would follow him; so he and Sancho and two servants that Don Antonio gave him set out for a walk. Thus it came to pass that going along one of the streets Don Quixote lifted up his eyes and saw written in very large letters over a door, “Books printed here,” at which he was vastly pleased, for until then he had never seen a printing office, and he was curious to know what it was like. He entered with all his following, and saw them drawing sheets in one place, correcting in another, setting up type here, revising there; in short all the work that is to be seen in great printing offices. He went up to one case and asked what they were about there; the workmen told him, he watched them with wonder, and passed on. He approached one man, among others, and asked him what he was doing. The workman replied, “Senor, this gentleman here” (pointing to a man of prepossessing appearance and a certain gravity of look) “has translated an Italian book into our Spanish tongue, and I am setting it up in type for the press.”

“What is the title of the book?” asked Don Quixote; to which the author replied, “Senor, in Italian the book is called Le Bagatelle.”
