10 Lord de Winter and Lady Clarik

CHAPTER 10 Lord de Winter and Lady Clarik The next morning, D'Artagnan couldn't find their new horses anywhere. "This is a little embarrassing," Athos said. "You see, after you went to bed I stayed up and talked with some travelers who arrived late. I didn't pay attention, and it seems those men stole our horses. I am sorry, my friend." And so D'Artagnan and Athos were left to ride their assistants' horses, while those two men walked. Later, when they met up with Aramis and Porthos, they learned that the

第十章温特勋爵和克拉丽夫人第二天早上，达达尼昂到处都找不到他们的新马。 “这有点尴尬，”阿托斯说。 “你看，在你上床睡觉之后，我熬夜和一些迟到的旅行者交谈。 我没注意，看来那些人偷走了我们的马。 对不起，我的朋友。”于是，阿达格南和阿托斯只好骑着他们助手的马，而那两个人则步行。 后来，当他们遇到阿拉米斯和波托斯时，他们得知

two Musketeers had also lost their horses. Porthos had sold his to pay for the extra expenses at the inn, and Aramis had fallen prey to some traveling thieves. "You are truly great Musketeers," said D'Artagnan, laughing. "And yet none of you can hold on to a good horse." When the Musketeers arrived in Paris a few days later and reported to Monsieur de Tréville, D'Artagnan learned that he had been granted permission to leave the Cardinal's service and become a Musketeer. He needed to fight only one more battle. At last, his dream would come true! He and his friends celebrated that night. But their happiness was interrupted with the news that the King planned to send them into battle soon. That meant they would need good horses and equipment. None of them had any money for this, and they stared at each other glumly.

两个火枪手也失去了他们的马。 波托斯为了支付旅馆的额外费用，卖掉了他的手，而阿拉米斯却成了一些旅行的小偷的牺牲品。 “你们真是了不起的火枪手。”达达尼昂笑着说。 “可是你们谁也牵不住一匹好马。” 几天后，火枪手们到达巴黎，向德·特雷姆维尔先生汇报情况时，达达尼昂得知他已获准离开红衣主教的部队，成为一名火枪手。 他只需要再打一场仗。 他的梦想终于实现了！那天晚上，他和朋友们一起庆祝。 但是他们的幸福被国王计划很快派他们上战场的消息打断了。 这就意味着他们需要好的马匹和装备。 他们谁也没钱买这个，他们闷闷不乐地面面相觑。

"There is one thing," Athos said at last. "None of you has mentioned that priceless diamond that sparkles whenever D'Artagnan raises his hand." "This was a gift from the Queen," D'Artagnan said. But he knew he had no choice. Now that he was to become a Musketeer, he would need equipment for battle. And all four friends had promised to look out for one another. One day soon after, as D'Artagnan was walking past a church, he saw Porthos speaking quietly to a woman. D'Artagnan realized that this must be the "duchess" Porthos had spoken of so often. The innkeeper had been right. She was not nearly as beautiful or young as Porthos claimed. Then D'Artagnan realized that sitting near them was the woman he had seen the man from Meung speaking to that first day at the

“有一件事，”阿托斯终于说。 “你们谁也没提过那颗无价的钻石，只要达达尼昂一举手，它就会闪闪发光。” “这是女王的礼物，”达达尼昂说。 但他知道自己别无选择。 既然他要成为一名火枪手，他就需要战斗装备。 四个朋友都答应要互相照顾。 不久之后的一天，当达达尼昂走过一座教堂时，他看见波托斯轻声地对一个女人说话。 达达尼昂这才明白，这一定就是波托斯常说的那位“公爵夫人”了。 旅店老板是对的。 她远不像波托斯所说的那么美丽和年轻。 这时，达达尼昂意识到，坐在他们旁边的就是他第一天见到的那个女人

inn, the spy named Milady! He followed her to her carriage. He knew she was working with the man from Meung —the man who had kidnapped Madame Bonacieux. Perhaps Milady could lead D'Artagnan to his love. After a journey across the city, the carriage stopped and she leaned out of the window to speak to a man. D'Artagnan rode to the other side of the carriage and looked in. The man she was speaking to saw D'Artagnan and yelled, "It's you!" "Hello again," D'Artagnan said, surprised. This was the same man D'Artagnan had fought in Calais. D'Artagnan had stolen his letter of permission in order to take the ship to London. As soon as Milady saw D'Artagnan, she closed the curtain of her carriage window and told her driver to take her home at once. "Good-bye, sister," said the man as she

那个叫米拉迪的间谍！他跟着她走到马车跟前。 他知道她和那个从孟城来的人是一伙的，就是那个绑架波那瑟太太的人。 也许米拉迪能让达达尼昂找到他的爱人。 经过一段穿越城市的旅程后，马车停了下来，她探出车窗和一个男人说话。 达达尼昂骑到马车的另一边往里看。 跟她说话的那个人看见了达达尼昂，喊道：“是你！”“又见面了。”达达尼昂惊讶地说。 这就是达达尼昂在加来与之战斗的那个人。 达达尼昂为了把船开到伦敦而偷了他的许可信。 夫人一看见达达尼昂，就拉上马车的窗帘，叫车夫马上送她回家。 “再见，妹妹，”那人对她说

drove away. "And what is your name?" D'Artagnan asked. "I am Lord de Winter," the man said. "You attacked me and stole my letter. You shall not defeat me a second time." "When shall we fight?" D'Artagnan asked. They agreed on a time and place, and D'Artagnan left to tell his friends. At three o'clock, the four men met with Lord de Winter and his three friends. The groups of men did not like one another and soon all eight men began to duel. It didn't last very long. Soon only D'Artagnan and Lord de Winter were still fighting. Finally D'Artagnan knocked the sword out of Lord de Winter's hand. "I could hurt you," D'Artagnan said, thinking of a plan. "But I know you have a sister and I wouldn't want to upset her." Lord de Winter appreciated D'Artagnan's

开车走了。“你叫什么名字？”D’artagnan问道。 “我是德温特公爵。”那人说。 “你攻击我，偷了我的信。 你不能第二次打败我。” “我们什么时候开战？”D’artagnan问道。 他们商定了时间和地点，达达尼昂离开去告诉他的朋友们。 三点钟，这四个人会见了德温特勋爵和他的三个朋友。 这群人彼此不喜欢，很快这八个人就开始决斗。 这并没有持续很长时间。很快，只有达达尼昂和温特勋爵还在战斗。 最后，达达尼昂打掉了德温特伯爵手中的剑。 “我可以伤害你，”达达尼昂说着，想出了一个计划。 “但我知道你有个妹妹，我不想让她难过。” 温特勋爵很欣赏达达尼昂的作品

kindness and invited him to dinner that night. He told D'Artagnan he could meet his sister, whose name was Lady Clarik. "She is actually my sister-in-law," Lord de Winter said. "She married my brother, the poor lad. He died a few months ago." When D'Artagnan arrived at Lord de Winter's house, Milady thanked him for not hurting her brother-in-law and D'Artagnan's plan became clearer. He would try to become friends with her and convince her that he loved her. Perhaps then he could learn more about what had happened to Constance. He returned to visit Milady the next day, and the next, and the next again. Each time she seemed a little friendlier and a little happier to see him. Slowly, D'Artagnan began to convince Milady that he was in love with her. He went to see her many times, but he was never able

他很好心，邀请他当晚共进晚餐。 他告诉达达尼昂他可以见见他的妹妹，她的名字叫克拉丽夫人。 “她实际上是我的嫂子，”德温特勋爵说。 “她嫁给了我的弟弟，那个可怜的小伙子。 他几个月前去世了。” 当达达尼昂到达德温特勋爵的家时，米拉迪感谢他没有伤害她的姐夫，达达尼昂的计划变得清晰起来。 他会努力和她成为朋友，让她相信他爱她。 也许这样他就能更多地了解康斯坦斯的情况。 第二天，他又去看夫人，第三天，第三天。 每次见到他，她似乎都友好了一点，高兴了一点。 慢慢地，达达尼昂开始让夫人相信他爱上了她。 他去看她很多次，但都没能成功
