堂吉诃德|Don Quixote

Part 2 第3章|Part 2 Chapter 2

属类: 双语小说 【分类】世界名著 -[作者: 塞万提斯] 阅读:[44414]
《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。

桑乔回到唐吉诃德家,又接着刚才的话题说起来:

1
-

“参孙大人说,人们想知道是谁、什么时候、在什么地方偷了我的驴,那么我告诉你,就是我们为了逃避圣友团的追捕,躲进莫雷纳山的那天晚上。我们在苦役犯和送往塞哥维亚的尸体那儿倒霉之后,我和我的主人躲进了树林。我的主人依偎着他的长矛,我骑在我的驴上。经过几次交战,我们已经浑身是伤,疲惫不堪,就像躺在四个羽绒垫上似的睡着了。特别是我,睡得尤其死,不知来了什么人,用四根棍子把我那头驴的驮鞍架起来,把驴从我身下偷走了,我竟然一点儿也没有察觉。”

2
-

“这事很简单,而且也不新鲜。萨克里潘特围攻阿尔布拉卡的时候,那个臭名昭著的盗贼布鲁内洛就是用这种办法把马从他两腿中间偷走的。”

3
-

“天亮了,”桑乔说,“我打了个寒噤,棍子就倒了,我重重地摔到地上。我找我的驴,却找不到了。我的眼里立刻流出了眼泪。我伤心极了。如果作者没把我这段情况写进去,那就是漏掉了一个很好的内容。不知过了多少天,我们同米科米科纳公主一起走的时候,我认出了我的驴,那个希内斯·帕萨蒙特打扮成吉卜赛人的样子骑在上面。那个大骗子、大坏蛋,正是我和我的主人把他从锁链里解救出来的!”

4
-

“问题不在这儿,”参孙说,“问题在于你那头驴还没出现之前,作者就说你已经骑上那头驴了。”

5
-

“这个我就不知道了,”桑乔说,“大概是作者弄错了,要不就是印刷工人的疏忽。”

6
-

“肯定是这样。”参孙说,“那么,那一百个盾又怎么样了?

7
-

都花了吗?”

8
-

桑乔答道:

9
-

“都花在我身上和我老婆、孩子身上了。我侍奉我的主人唐吉诃德在外奔波,他们在家耐心地等待我。如果等了那么长时间,结果到我回来时钱却没挣着,驴也丢了,那准没我好受的。还有就是,我当着国王也会这么说,什么衣服不衣服、钱不钱的,谁也管不着。如果我在外挨的打能够用钱来补偿,就算打一下赔四文钱吧,那么,就是再赔一百个盾也不够赔偿我一半的。每个人都拍拍自己的良心吧,不要颠倒是非,混淆黑白。人之初,性本善,可是心要坏就不知能坏多少倍呢。”

10
-

“如果这本书能够再版的话,”卡拉斯科说,“我一定记着告诉作者,把桑乔的这段话加上去,那么这本书就更精彩了。”

11
-

“这本书里还有其他需要修改的地方吗?”唐吉诃德问。

12
-

“是的,大概还有,”卡拉斯科说,“不过都不像刚才说的那么重要。”

13
-

“难怪作者说还要出下卷,”参孙又说,“不过,他没有找到、也不知道是谁掌握着下卷的材料,所以我们怀疑下卷还能不能出来。而且,有些人说:‘续集从来就没有写得好的。’还有些人说:‘有关唐吉诃德的事,已经写出来的这些就足够了。’但也有一些人不怎么悲观,而且说得很痛快:‘再来些唐吉诃德的故事吧,让唐吉诃德只管冲杀,桑乔只管多嘴吧,我们就爱看这个。”

14
-

“那么,作者打算怎么办呢?”

15
-

“他正在全力寻找材料,”参孙说,“只要找到材料,他马上就可以付梓印刷。他图的是利,倒不怎么在乎别人的赞扬。”

16
-

桑乔闻言道:

17
-

“作者贪图钱和利?那要能写好才怪呢。他肯定不会认真地写,就像裁缝在复活节前赶制衣服一样,匆忙赶制的东西肯定不像要求的那样细致。这位摩尔大人或是什么人,在干什么呢?他若是想找有关冒险或其他各种事情的材料,我和我的主人这儿有的是。别说下卷,就是再写一百卷也足够。这位大好人应该想到,我们并不是在这儿混日子呢。他只要向我们了解情况,就知道我们是怎么过来的了。我只能说,我的主人要是听了我的劝告,我们现在肯定像那些优秀的游侠骑士一样,正在外面拨乱反正呢。”

18
-

桑乔还没说完,罗西南多就在外面嘶鸣起来。唐吉诃德听见了,觉得这是个极好的兆头,就决定三四天后再度出征。他把自己的想法告诉了学士,并且同学士商量,自己的征程应该从哪儿开始好。学士说他觉得应该首先到阿拉贡王国,到萨拉戈萨城去。过几天,到圣豪尔赫节的时候,那儿要举行极其隆重的擂台赛,唐吉诃德可以利用那个机会击败阿拉贡的骑士,那就等于战胜了世界上的所有骑士,从此名扬天下。学士对唐吉诃德极其高尚勇敢的决定表示赞赏。学士还提醒唐吉诃德,遇到危险时要注意保护自己,因为他的生命不属于他自己,而属于那些在他征险途中需要他保护和帮助的人。

19
-

“这点我就不同意,参孙大人,”桑乔说,“想让我的主人见了上百个武士就像孩子见了一堆甜瓜似的往上冲,那怎么行?求求您了,学士大人!该进则进,该退就得退,不能总是‘圣主保佑,西班牙必胜’!而且,如果我没记错的话,我听说,大概是听我主人说的,在怯懦和鲁莽这两个极端之间选择中间才算勇敢。如果是这样,我不希望我的主人无缘无故地逃跑,也不希望他不管不顾地一味向前冲。不过更重要的是,我有句话得告诉我的主人,假如他这次还想带我去,就得答应我一个条件,那就是所有战斗都是他的事,我只负责他吃喝拉撒的事,而且一定尽心竭力,可是要让我拿剑去战斗,即使是对付那些舞刀弄枪的痞子也休想!

20
-

“参孙大人,我并不想得到勇者的美名,我只想做游侠骑士最优秀最忠实的侍从。如果我的主人唐吉诃德鉴于我忠心耿耿,想把据他说能夺取到的许多岛屿送给我一个,我会十分高兴地接受。如果他不给我岛屿,那么我还是我,我也不用靠别人活着,我只靠上帝活着,而且不做总督也许会比做总督活得还好。况且,谁知道魔鬼会不会在我当总督期间给我设个圈套,把我绊倒,连牙齿都磕掉了呢?我生来是桑乔,我打算死的时候还是桑乔。不过,若是老天赐给我一个岛屿或是其他类似的东西,只要不用费力气,也不用冒险,我才不会那么傻,推辞不要它呢。人们常说:‘给你牛犊,快拿绳牵’,‘好运来了,切莫错过’。”

21
-

“桑乔兄弟,”卡拉斯科说,“你讲话真够有水平的,但即使这样,你还得相信上帝,相信你的主人唐吉诃德,那么,他给你的就不是一个岛屿,而是一个王国了。”

22
-

“多和少都是一回事,”桑乔说,“不过,我可以告诉卡拉斯科大人,只要我的主人没有忘记给我一个王国,我会珍重自己的。我的身体很好,依然可以统治王国,管理岛屿。这话我已经同我的主人说过多次了。”

23
-

“你看,桑乔,”参孙说,“职业能够改变人。也许你当了总督以后,连亲妈都不认了。”

24
-

“只有那些出身低下的人才会那样。像我这样品行端正的老基督徒绝不会这样。你只要了解我的为人,就知道我对任何人都不会忘恩负义。”

25
-

“只要有做总督的机会,”唐吉诃德说,“上帝肯定会安排,而且,我也会替你留心。”

26
-

说完,唐吉诃德又请求学士,说如果他会写诗,就请代劳写几首诗,自己想在辞别托博索的杜尔西内亚夫人时用,而且,唐吉诃德还请他务必让每句诗的开头用上她的名字的一个字母,等把全诗写出来后,这些开头的字母就能组成“托博索杜尔西内亚”这字样。学士说自己虽然算不上西班牙的著名诗人,因为西班牙的著名诗人至多也只有三个半,但他还是能按照这种诗韵写出几首,虽然写起来会很困难。因为这个名字一共有十七个字母,如果作四首卡斯特亚纳①的话,还多一个字母;如果写成五行诗的话,就还欠三个字母。不过,尽管如此,他会全力以赴,争取在四首卡斯特亚纳里放下“托博索杜尔西内亚”这个名字。

27
-

①卡斯特亚纳是一种四行八音节的民歌。

28
-

“哪儿都是一样,”唐吉诃德说,“如果诗里没有明确写明某个女人的名字,她就不认为诗是写给她的。”

29
-

这件事就这样商定了。他们还商定唐吉诃德八天后启程。唐吉诃德嘱咐学士一定要保密,特别是对神甫、理发师、他的外甥女和女管家,免得这一光荣而又勇敢的行动受阻。卡拉斯科答应了,然后起身告辞,而且嘱咐唐吉诃德,只要有可能,一定要把消息告诉他,不管是好的还是坏的。他们就这样告别了,桑乔去做外出的各种准备工作。

The history relates that the outcry Don Quixote, the curate, and the barber heard came from the niece and the housekeeper exclaiming to Sancho, who was striving to force his way in to see Don Quixote while they held the door against him, “What does the vagabond want in this house? Be off to your own, brother, for it is you, and no one else, that delude my master, and lead him astray, and take him tramping about the country.”

To which Sancho replied, “Devil’s own housekeeper! it is I who am deluded, and led astray, and taken tramping about the country, and not thy master! He has carried me all over the world, and you are mightily mistaken. He enticed me away from home by a trick, promising me an island, which I am still waiting for.”

“May evil islands choke thee, thou detestable Sancho,” said the niece; “What are islands? Is it something to eat, glutton and gormandiser that thou art?”

“It is not something to eat,” replied Sancho, “but something to govern and rule, and better than four cities or four judgeships at court.”

“For all that,” said the housekeeper, “you don’t enter here, you bag of mischief and sack of knavery; go govern your house and dig your seed-patch, and give over looking for islands or shylands.”

The curate and the barber listened with great amusement to the words of the three; but Don Quixote, uneasy lest Sancho should blab and blurt out a whole heap of mischievous stupidities, and touch upon points that might not be altogether to his credit, called to him and made the other two hold their tongues and let him come in. Sancho entered, and the curate and the barber took their leave of Don Quixote, of whose recovery they despaired when they saw how wedded he was to his crazy ideas, and how saturated with the nonsense of his unlucky chivalry; and said the curate to the barber, “You will see, gossip, that when we are least thinking of it, our gentleman will be off once more for another flight.”

“I have no doubt of it,” returned the barber; “but I do not wonder so much at the madness of the knight as at the simplicity of the squire, who has such a firm belief in all that about the island, that I suppose all the exposures that could be imagined would not get it out of his head.”

“God help them,” said the curate; “and let us be on the look-out to see what comes of all these absurdities of the knight and squire, for it seems as if they had both been cast in the same mould, and the madness of the master without the simplicity of the man would not be worth a farthing.”

Meanwhile Don Quixote shut himself up in his room with Sancho, and when they were alone he said to him, “It grieves me greatly, Sancho, that thou shouldst have said, and sayest, that I took thee out of thy cottage, when thou knowest I did not remain in my house. We sallied forth together, we took the road together, we wandered abroad together; we have had the same fortune and the same luck; if they blanketed thee once, they belaboured me a hundred times, and that is the only advantage I have of thee.”

“That was only reasonable,” replied Sancho, “for, by what your worship says, misfortunes belong more properly to knights-errant than to their squires.”

“I mean to say,” said Don Quixote, “that when the head suffers all the members suffer; and so, being thy lord and master, I am thy head, and thou a part of me as thou art my servant; and therefore any evil that affects or shall affect me should give thee pain, and what affects thee give pain to me.”

“It should be so,” said Sancho; “but when I was blanketed as a member, my head was on the other side of the wall, looking on while I was flying through the air, and did not feel any pain whatever; and if the members are obliged to feel the suffering of the head, it should be obliged to feel their sufferings.”

dost thou mean to say now, Sancho,” said Don Quixote, “that I did not feel when they were blanketing thee? If thou dost, thou must not say so or think so, for I felt more pain then in spirit than thou didst in body. But let us put that aside for the present, for we shall have opportunities enough for considering and settling the point; tell me, Sancho my friend, what do they say about me in the village here? What do the common people think of me? What do the hidalgos? What do the caballeros? What do they say of my valour; of my achievements; of my courtesy? How do they treat the task I have undertaken in reviving and restoring to the world the now forgotten order of chivalry? In short, Sancho, I would have thee tell me all that has come to thine ears on this subject; and thou art to tell me, without adding anything to the good or taking away anything from the bad; for it is the duty of loyal vassals to tell the truth to their lords just as it is and in its proper shape, not allowing flattery to add to it or any idle deference to lessen it. And I would have thee know, Sancho, that if the naked truth, undisguised by flattery, came to the ears of princes, times would be different, and other ages would be reckoned iron ages more than ours, which I hold to be the golden of these latter days. Profit by this advice, Sancho, and report to me clearly and faithfully the truth of what thou knowest touching what I have demanded of thee.”

“That I will do with all my heart, master,” replied Sancho, “provided your worship will not be vexed at what I say, as you wish me to say it out in all its nakedness, without putting any more clothes on it than it came to my knowledge in.”

“Well then,” said he, “first of all, I have to tell you that the common people consider your worship a mighty great madman, and me no less a fool. The hidalgos say that, not keeping within the bounds of your quality of gentleman, you have assumed the ‘Don,’ and made a knight of yourself at a jump, with four vine-stocks and a couple of acres of land, and never a shirt to your back. The caballeros say they do not want to have hidalgos setting up in opposition to them, particularly squire hidalgos who polish their own shoes and darn their black stockings with green silk.”

“That,” said Don Quixote, “does not apply to me, for I always go well dressed and never patched; ragged I may be, but ragged more from the wear and tear of arms than of time.”

“As to your worship’s valour, courtesy, accomplishments, and task, there is a variety of opinions. Some say, ‘mad but droll;’ others, ‘valiant but unlucky;’ others, ‘courteous but meddling,’ and then they go into such a number of things that they don’t leave a whole bone either in your worship or in myself.”

“Recollect, Sancho,” said Don Quixote, “that wherever virtue exists in an eminent degree it is persecuted. Few or none of the famous men that have lived escaped being calumniated by malice. Julius Caesar, the boldest, wisest, and bravest of captains, was charged with being ambitious, and not particularly cleanly in his dress, or pure in his morals. Of Alexander, whose deeds won him the name of Great, they say that he was somewhat of a drunkard. Of Hercules, him of the many labours, it is said that he was lewd and luxurious. Of Don Galaor, the brother of Amadis of Gaul, it was whispered that he was over quarrelsome, and of his brother that he was lachrymose. So that, O Sancho, amongst all these calumnies against good men, mine may be let pass, since they are no more than thou hast said.”

“There’s the tail to be skinned yet,” said Sancho; “all so far is cakes and fancy bread; but if your worship wants to know all about the calumnies they bring against you, I will fetch you one this instant who can tell you the whole of them without missing an atom; for last night the son of Bartholomew Carrasco, who has been studying at Salamanca, came home after having been made a bachelor, and when I went to welcome him, he told me that your worship’s history is already abroad in books, with the title of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha; and he says they mention me in it by my own name of Sancho Panza, and the lady Dulcinea del Toboso too, and divers things that happened to us when we were alone; so that I crossed myself in my wonder how the historian who wrote them down could have known them.”

“What!” said Sancho, “a sage and an enchanter! Why, the bachelor Samson Carrasco (that is the name of him I spoke of) says the author of the history is called Cide Hamete Berengena.”
