Part 3 Book 2 Chapter 4 A Centenarian Aspirant
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...

他出生在穆兰①，童年时代在穆兰中学得过几次奖状，并且由尼维尔内公爵亲手授予的，他称尼维尔内公爵为讷韦尔②公爵。无论国民公会、路易十六的死、拿破仑、波旁王室复辟都没能冲淡他对那次授奖大典的回忆。在他看来，“讷韦尔公爵”才是那个世纪的伟人。“多么可爱的大贵人，”他常说，“挎着他那条蓝佩带，好不神气！”在吉诺曼先生的眼中，叶卡特林娜二世③花三千卢布向贝斯多舍夫买金酒的秘方，就已经抵赎瓜分波兰的罪恶。在这问题上，他表现得非常兴奋。

“金酒，”他喊道，“贝斯多舍夫的黄酊，拉莫特将军的杯中物，在十八世纪，半两装的每瓶值一个路易，是情场失意人的妙药，是降伏爱神的仙露。路易十五就曾送过二百瓶给教皇。”假如有人告诉他说金酒只不过是氯化高铁，他一定会暴跳如雷怒不可遏。吉诺曼先生崇拜波旁王室中人，并把一七八九年视为洪水猛兽，他不断谈到他怎样才在恐怖时期保全了性命，怎样寻欢作乐，怎样卖弄聪明，才没被砍掉脑袋。假如有个年轻人敢在他面前称赞共和制度，他会气到脸色发青，晕倒在地。有时，在谈到自己九十高龄时，他闪烁其词地说：“我很希望不会两次见到九十三。”①有时，他却又向人透露他想活到一百岁。

①两次九十三指革命进入高潮的一七九三年和他自己的九十三岁。

He had taken prizes in his boyhood at the College of Moulins, where he was born, and he had been crowned by the hand of the Duc de Nivernais, whom he called the Duc de Nevers. Neither the Convention, nor the death of Louis XVI., nor the Napoleon, nor the return of the Bourbons, nor anything else had been able to efface the memory of this crowning. The Duc de Nevers was, in his eyes, the great figure of the century. "What a charming grand seigneur," he said, "and what a fine air he had with his blue ribbon!"

In the eyes of M. Gillenormand, Catherine the Second had made reparation for the crime of the partition of Poland by purchasing, for three thousand roubles, the secret of the elixir of gold, from Bestucheff. He grew animated on this subject: "The elixir of gold," he exclaimed, "the yellow dye of Bestucheff, General Lamotte’s drops, in the eighteenth century,--this was the great remedy for the catastrophes of love, the panacea against Venus, at one louis the half-ounce phial. Louis XV. sent two hundred phials of it to the Pope." He would have been greatly irritated and thrown off his balance, had any one told him that the elixir of gold is nothing but the perchloride of iron. M. Gillenormand adored the Bourbons, and had a horror of 1789; he was forever narrating in what manner he had saved himself during the Terror, and how he had been obliged to display a vast deal of gayety and cleverness in order to escape having his head cut off. If any young man ventured to pronounce an eulogium on the Republic in his presence, he turned purple and grew so angry that he was on the point of swooning. He sometimes alluded to his ninety years, and said, "I hope that I shall not see ninety-three twice." On these occasions, he hinted to people that he meant to live to be a hundred.
