12 Athos Meets His Old Love

CHAPTER 12 Athos Meets His Old Love A few days later, the three Musketeers were riding back from an inn where they had just eaten dinner. The army was preparing for the battle at La Rochelle and the Musketeers had a few days off before the fight. As they rode, they suddenly heard horses approaching. Athos called out, "Who goes there?" "Who goes there, yourselves?" one of the riders replied. "We are Musketeers," Athos said. "Under

第十二章阿多斯与旧情人重逢几天后，三个火枪手骑马从一家旅店回来，他们刚在那儿吃过晚饭。 军队正在为拉罗谢尔的战斗做准备，火枪手们在战斗前休息了几天。 他们骑马时，突然听到有马靠近。 阿托斯喊道：“谁在那儿？”有一个骑马的说：“你们是谁呢？” “我们是火枪手。”阿托斯说。 “在

the command of Monsieur de Tréville." "Tell me your name," the rider said sharply and rode forward a few steps into the light so the Musketeers could see who was speaking to them. "Monsieur Cardinal!" Athos said. "Your name," the Cardinal commanded again. "Athos." "I know you," the Cardinal said. "You may not be my friend, but you are brave, loyal, and trustworthy. I would like you and your friends to come on a mission with me tonight. I know I will be safe with you. My mission is secret, but it would be a great favor if you would guard me. It would make the King happy, too." The Musketeers bowed and agreed to guard the Cardinal and his men. They rode back to the inn, where the Cardinal went upstairs. While the Musketeers waited and

德·特雷姆维尔先生的命令。” “告诉我你的名字。”骑士厉声说道，然后向前迈了几步，走进亮光里，好让火枪手们看清是谁在跟他们说话。 “红衣主教先生!”阿多斯说。 “你的名字。”红衣主教又命令道。 “阿多斯。”“我认识你，”红衣主教说。 “你也许不是我的朋友，但你勇敢、忠诚、值得信赖。 我想让你和你的朋友今晚和我一起执行任务。 我知道和你在一起会很安全。 我的任务是秘密的，但如果你能保护我，那就太好了。 这样国王也会高兴的。” 火枪手们鞠了一躬，同意保护红衣主教和他的手下。 他们骑马回到客店，红衣主教上了楼。 火枪手们等着

wondered what the Cardinal was up to, Athos drew his friends to an old stove. The stovepipe went up the ceiling and into the room where the Cardinal was having his meeting. By listening to the pipe, the Musketeers could hear what was happening in the room above. "You are to go to London tonight," the Cardinal said. "Once there, you must go see the Duke. This is very important, Milady." "Milady!" Athos whispered. She began to speak and Athos's friends noticed that he flinched at the sound of her voice. "What shall I tell him?" Milady asked. "You must convince the Duke to surrender at La Rochelle," the Cardinal said. "Tell him that I will ruin the Queen if he doesn't. Tell him I have evidence against him and the Queen. Tell him that I know everything." "What should I do if he refuses and

阿托斯不知道红衣主教在干什么，便把他的朋友们拉到一个旧火炉旁。 壁炉的烟囱直通天花板，直通红衣主教开会的房间。 火枪手们听着烟斗的声音，可以听到楼上房间里发生的事情。 “你今晚要去伦敦，”红衣主教说。 “到了那里，你必须去见公爵。 这很重要，夫人。” “夫人!”阿多斯低声说。 她开始说话，阿托斯的朋友们注意到他听到她的声音畏缩了。 “我该怎么跟他说呢？”夫人问。 “你必须说服公爵在拉罗谢尔投降，”红衣主教说。 “告诉他，如果他不这样做，我就毁了王后。 告诉他我有证据指控他和王后。 告诉他我什么都知道。” “如果他拒绝，我该怎么办？

continues to threaten France?" she asked. "He is in love with all the passion of a madman," the Cardinal said. "Or the passion of a fool. If he believes the Queen is in danger, he will think twice. If he still doesn't change his mind, then perhaps you can see to it that he is injured and unable to continue his plans of attack." "I understand," Milady said. "Now that I have your instructions about how to deal with your enemies, may I speak to you about mine?" "Your enemies?" the Cardinal asked. "I have many," Milady said. "And I have made them all while working for you. But two of them are especially painful to me, and I want your help in punishing them. First, a woman named Constance Bonacieux." "I know her," the Cardinal said. "You have her held in a convent, do you not? I know she is involved in this business with the

继续威胁法国？”她问道。 红衣主教说：“他以疯子的激情坠入爱河。” “或者是傻瓜的激情。 如果他认为女王有危险，他会三思而后行。 如果他仍然不改变主意，那么也许您可以注意到他受伤了，不能继续他的进攻计划了。” “我明白，”夫人说。 “既然我已经得到了你关于如何对付敌人的指示，我可以跟你谈谈我的吗？”“你的敌人？”红衣主教问道。 “我有很多，”夫人说。 “这些都是我在为你工作的时候做出来的。 但其中有两个对我来说特别痛苦，我希望你能帮助惩罚他们。 首先是一个叫康斯坦斯·波那瑟的女人。” “我认识她，”红衣主教说。 “你把她关在修院里了，是不是？” 我知道她和那个

Duke. What will you do with her?" "I will have her moved. I want your men to send her to prison," said Milady. "But it is my other enemy that I truly need your help with. He is even worse than Madame Bonacieux. He is the man who loves her—the scoundrel, D'Artagnan." "I know him well," the Cardinal said. "He is a bold fellow." "He is a danger to us all," Milady replied. "If you can give me proof of his involvement with the Duke, I will have him sent to prison." "Perfect," Milady said. "Although I was hoping for a bit more. My plans—" "I don't know what you mean," the Cardinal interrupted. "And I don't want to know. I will write you a note that will allow you to seek your revenge on D'Artagnan. With this, you won't need me." Athos led his friends away from the stove.

杜克大学。你要拿她怎么办？”“我要把她移走。 我要你的人把她送进监狱，”夫人说。 “但我真正需要你帮助的是我的另一个敌人。 他比波那瑟太太还坏。 他就是那个爱她的人——那个坏蛋，达达尼昂。” “我很了解他，”红衣主教说。 “他是个大胆的家伙。”“他对我们大家都是个威胁，”夫人回答。 “如果你能给我他和公爵有牵连的证据，我就把他送进监狱。” “太好了，”夫人说。“虽然我希望更多一点。 我的计划——”“我不明白你的意思，”红衣主教打断了他的话。 “我也不想知道。 我会给你写张便条让你去找达达尼昂报仇。 有了这个，你就不需要我了。” 阿托斯领着他的朋友们离开火炉。

"I must go now," he said. "If the Cardinal asks where I am, tell him I've gone ahead to be a lookout in case the road is unsafe." "Be careful," Aramis said. Athos rode a short distance into the woods. Then he turned and hid among the trees to watch the inn. After a few minutes, he saw the Cardinal leave with his men. Aramis and Porthos followed behind them. Athos waited a while longer and then returned to the inn. He went straight to the room where the Cardinal had met with Milady. She was still there. Athos pulled his hat low so she couldn't see his face clearly. "Who are you?" she cried when he entered the room. "It is you, after all," he said. Athos stepped forward and lifted his hat so she could see him. "Do you recognize me, Madame?" She stepped backward, terrified, as if she

“我现在必须走了，”他说。“如果红衣主教问我在哪里，告诉他我已经走在前面了，以防道路不安全。” “小心，”阿拉米斯说。 阿托斯骑了一小段路进入树林。 然后他转身躲在树林里监视客栈。 几分钟后，他看见红衣主教带着他的人离开了。 阿拉米斯和波托斯跟在他们后面。 阿托斯又等了一会儿，然后回到旅店。 他径直向红衣主教和夫人见面的房间走去。 她还在那儿。阿托斯把帽子拉得低些，这样她就看不清他的脸了。 “你是谁？”当他走进房间时，她喊道。 “毕竟是你，”他说。 阿托斯走上前去，摘下帽子，好让她看见他。 “您认得我吗，夫人？”她向后退了一步，吓坏了，好像她
