经典段落赏析篇一
It was impossible to conceive of a man more like his mother. He was wearing a somber taffeta suit, a shirt with a round and hard collar, and a thin silk ribbon tied in a bow in place of a necktie. He was ruddy and languid with a startled look and weak lips. His black hair, shiny and smooth, parted in the middle of his head by a straight and tired line, had the same artificial appearance as the hair on the saints. The shadow of a well-uprooted beard on his paraffin face looked like a question of conscience. His hands were pale, with green veins and fingers that were like parasites, and he wore a solid gold ring with a round sunflower opal on his left index finger. When he opened the street door Aureliano did not have to be told who he was to realize that he came from far away. With his steps the house filled up with the fragrance of the toilet water that ?rsula used to splash on him when he was a child in order to find him in the shadows, in some way impossible to ascertain, after so many years of absence. Jos Arcadio was still an autumnal child, terribly sad and solitary. He went directly to his mother’s bedroom, where Aureliano had boiled mercury for four months in his grandfather’s grandfather’s water pipe to conserve the body according to Melquíades?formula. Jos?Arcadio did not ask him any questions. He kissed the corpse on the forehead and withdrew from under her skirt the pocket of casing which contained three as yet unused pessaries and the key to her cabinet. He did everything with direct and decisive movements, in contrast to his languid look. From the cabinet he took a small damascene chest with the family crest and found on the inside, which was perfumed with sandalwood, the long letter in which Fernanda unburdened her heart of the numerous truths that she had hidden from him. He read it standing up, avidly but without anxiety, and at the third page he stopped and examined Aureliano with a look of second recognition.
想不到这个儿子格外象他的母亲。霍。 阿卡蒂奥穿着黑塔夫绸的西服,衬衫领子又硬又圆,一条打着花结的缎带代替了领带。这是个脸色苍白、神情倦怠的人,露出一种诧异的目光,长着一个柔弱的嘴巴,光滑的黑发从中分开,纹路又直又细,这头圣徒的假发显示出矫揉造作的样子。他的面孔象石膏一样白,刮得千干净净的下颏留着一块块有点发青的阴影,似乎说明良心的谴责,他有一双青筋毕露、苍白浮肿的手——游手好闲者的手,左手无名指上嵌着圆形乳白色宝石的大戒指耀人眼目。奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚给他开门以后,一眼就看出站在他面前的是从远方来的人。他走过哪儿,哪儿就留下花露水的香味,在奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚还是个婴儿的时候,乌苏娜为了在双目失明的黑暗中找到他,也曾给他洒过这种花露水。不知怎的,多年不见,霍·阿卡蒂奥依然象从前一样,是个悒郁孤僻的小老头儿。他径直走进母亲的卧室,在这间卧室里,奥雷连诺。 布恩蒂亚按照梅尔加德斯的处方,在属于他祖父的曾祖父的那只坩埚里,整整熬了四个月的水银,才使菲兰达的尸体没有腐烂。霍·阿卡蒂奥什么也没问。他俯身在已故的菲兰达额头上吻了一下,便从她那裙子的贴身口袋里掏出三只还没用过的宫托、一把衣橱钥匙。他那坚定利索的动作跟他那倦怠的神情实在不相称。他从衣橱里翻出那只刻着族徽的首饰箱,首饰箱是用一块绸子裹着的,透出檀香木的芬芳,他随手把它打开——只见箱底上放着一封长信;在这封信里,菲兰达倾诉了自己的衷肠,讲述了生前瞒着儿子的一切。霍·阿卡蒂奥站着,饶有兴昧地读完母亲的信,没有露出任何激动情绪;

Aureliano asked her where she was going and she made a vague sign, as if she did not have the slightest idea of her destination. She tried to be more precise, however, saying that she was going to spend her last years with a first cousin who lived in Riohacha. It was not a likely explanation. Since the death of her parents she had not had contact with anyone in town or received letters or messages, nor had she been heard to speak of any relatives. Aureliano gave her fourteen little gold fishes because she was determined to leave with only what she had: one peso and twenty-five cents. From the window of the room he saw her cross the courtyard with her bundle of clothing, dragging her feet and bent over by her years, and he saw her reach her hand through an opening in the main door and replace the bar after she had gone out. Nothing was ever heard of her again.
奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚问她想去哪儿,她含糊地摆了摆手,似乎一点也不知道自己未来的命运。她只是说,打算到一个住在列奥阿察的表妹那儿去度过最后的几年,但这番话简直无法令人相信。从自己的双亲相继去世以来,圣索菲娅·德拉佩德在马孔多跟任何人都没有联系,也没从什么地方收到过一封信或者一个邮包,甚至一次也没讲过她有什么亲戚。奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚只好送给她十四条小金鱼,因为她打算带走的只是自已的那一点储蓄:一比索二十五生丁。奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚从窗口望着她在年岁的重压下,伛偻着身子,拖着两条腿,拎着那只小包袱,慢慢走过院子;望着她把手伸进篱笆门的闩孔里,又随手放下了门闩。从此他再没有见到过她,再也没有听到过她的什么消息。

“That Colonel Aureliano, Buendía fought thirty-two civil wars and lost them all,?Aureliano answered. “That the army hemmed in and machine-gunned three thousand workers and that their bodies were carried off to be thrown into the sea on a train with two hundred cars.?
“奥雷连诺上校发动过三十二次国内战争,但每一次都失败了,”奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚回答。“政府军包围并打死了三千多工人,后来又用一列二百节车厢的火车把尸体运走,扔到了海里。”
The priest measured him with a pitying look.
神父以充满怜悯的目光打量了他一眼。
“Oh, my son,?he signed. “It’s enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.?
“哎,我的孩子,”他叹息道,“对我来讲,单是相信我们两人这会儿还活着,就足够了。”
So Aureliano and Amaranta ?rsula accepted the version of the basket, not because they believed it, but because it spared them their terror. As the pregnancy advanced they were becoming a single being, they were becoming more and more integrated in the solitude of a house that needed only one last breath to be knocked down. They restricted themselves to an essential area, from Fernanda’s bedroom, where the charms of sedentary love were visible, to the beginning of the porch, where Amaranta ?rsula would sit to sew bootees and bonnets for the newborn baby and Aureliano, would answer the occasional letters from the wise Catalonian. The rest of the house was given over to the tenacious assault of destruction. The silver shop, Melquíades?room, the primitive and silent realm of Santa Sofía de la Piedad remained in the depths of a domestic jungle that no one would have had the courage to penetrate. Surrounded by the voracity of nature, Aureliano and Amaranta ?rsula continued cultivating the oregano and the begonias and defended their world with demarcations of quicklime, building the last trenches in the age-old war between man and ant. Her long and neglected hair, the splotches that were beginning to appear on her face, the swelling of her legs, the deformation of her former lovemaking weasel’s body had changed Amaranta ?rsula from the youthful creature she had been when she arrived at the house with the cage of luckless canaries and her captive husband, but it did not change the vivacity of her spirit. “Shit,?she would say, laughingly. “Who would have thought that we really would end up living like cannibals!?The last thread that joined them to the world was broken on the sixth month of pregnancy when they received a letter that obviously was not from the wise Catalonian. It had been mailed in Barcelona, but the envelope was addressed in conventional blue ink by an official hand and it had the innocent and impersonal look of hostile messages. Aureliano snatched it out of Amaranta ?rsula’s hands as she was aboutto open it.
这样,奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚和阿玛兰塔·乌苏娜只好默认关于柳条筐的说法,这倒不是因为他们相信它的真实性,而是它能把他们从苦恼的恐惧中解脱出来。随着阿玛兰塔·乌苏娜腹中胎儿的逐渐成长,他们越来越协调一致,在这座只需最后一阵风就会倒塌的房子里,他们越来越习惯于孤独的生活。他们把自己的活动限制在一个最小的空间里,这空间从菲兰达的卧室开始,直到长廊的一角。他们在菲兰达的卧室里,已经感到了夫妇生活的欢乐。奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚给博学的加泰隆尼亚人写回信时。阿玛兰塔·乌苏娜就在长廊上为未来的婴儿编织毛线袜和小便帽。然而,房子的其他部分在破坏力的不断冲击下都已摇摇欲坠,首饰作坊、梅尔加德斯的房间、圣索菲娅·德拉佩德那个原始的寂静王国,都陷在房子的深处,就象陷在一片茂密的丛林里,谁也没有足够的勇气走进这片丛林。贪得无厌的大自然从四面八方包围着奥雷连诺·布恩蒂亚和阿玛兰塔·乌苏娜,他们继续栽种牛至草和秋海棠,用生石灰划一条分界线,围住自己的世界,在早已开始的蚂蚁和人的战斗中筑起最后一个堡垒。这时。阿玛兰塔·乌苏娜头发很长,没有梳理,脸上现出黑斑,两腿浮肿,她那古希腊人似的柔和体形也由于怀孕变丑了,已经不象她提着一笼不合心意的金丝雀、带着俘获的丈夫回到家里的那一天那么年轻了,但依然保持着原来的振奋精神。“真见鬼!”她笑着说,“谁能想到,咱们最后竟会象野兽一样生活!”在阿玛兰塔·乌苏娜怀孕的第六个月,他们跟外界的最后一点联系也中断了,当时他们收到一封信,看得出这封信不是出自博学的加泰隆尼亚人之手。它是从巴塞罗那寄出的,但信封上的地址却是用蓝墨水写的,笔迹工整,有点象官方的通知。信的样子普普通通,无可指摘,但又好象是不怀好意的人寄来的,阿玛兰塔。 乌苏娜正准备拆信,奥雷连诺。 布恩蒂亚却从她手里夺了过去。
“Not this one,?he told her. “I don’t want to know what it says.?
“我不要看,”他说。“我不想知道信里写的什么。”
