2 A Day for Dueling

CHAPTER 2 A Day for Dueling D'Artagnan raced down the stairs and collided with a Musketeer, who cried out in pain. "Excuse me," said D'Artagnan. "I'm very sorry, but I'm in a hurry." He had barely taken a step when someone grabbed his belt and he was pulled backward. "You're sorry, eh?" said the Musketeer. "You heard how Monsieur de Tréville spoke to my friends and now you think anyone can treat us like that?"

第二章决斗的一天达达尼昂跑下楼梯，与一个火枪手撞在一起，火枪手痛得大叫起来。 “对不起，”达达尼昂说。 “很抱歉，我赶时间。” 他刚跨出一步，就有人抓住他的腰带，把他向后拉了一下。 “你后悔了，是吗？”火枪手说。 “你听到德·特雷姆维尔先生对我的朋友们说的话了，现在你认为有人会那样对待我们吗？”

D'Artagnan recognized the Musketeer as Athos. He tried to apologize again, but Athos was in a bad mood and would not accept. D'Artagnan had no patience for this kind of behavior, even from a Musketeer as brave as Athos. Before he knew it, he had challenged Athos to a duel. The men agreed to fight at noon. Outside, D'Artagnan saw Porthos speaking to another man in front of the main gate. There was just enough room to run behind Porthos. As he did, a gust of wind blew Porthos's cloak up and D'Artagnan became wrapped in it. Porthos pulled his cloak together and found himself nose-to-nose with D'Artagnan. "Excuse me," D'Artagnan said, moving out from under the large man's arm. "I am in a great hurry. I was chasing—" "And you always run blind, I suppose?" Porthos towered over him.

达达尼昂认出火枪手就是阿陀斯。 他试图再次道歉，但阿托斯心情不好，不肯接受。 阿达格南对这种行为是没有耐心的，即使是像阿托斯这样勇敢的火枪手。 他还没反应过来，就向阿托斯发起了决斗。 士兵们同意在中午战斗。 外面，达达尼昂看见波托斯在大门前和另一个人说话。 这里刚好有足够的空间可以跟在波托斯后面跑。 这时，一阵风吹起了波托斯的斗篷，把达达尼昂裹在里面。 波托斯拉紧斗篷，发现自己与达达尼昂面对面。 “对不起，”达达尼昂说着，从大个子的胳膊下走了出来。 “我很着急。我在追——”“我想你总是瞎跑吧？”波托斯比他高得多。

"No, I do not," D'Artagnan said, his temper rising again. "Do you think you can just push past me?" Porthos asked. "You should have asked before barging through." "I was in a hurry," D'Artagnan said. "This is very important. And you are also very large and your cloak is too long. It was in my way —" "What?" Porthos shouted. The two men argued and, as quickly as it had happened with Athos, D'Artagnan found himself agreeing to another duel. This one was set for one o'clock in the same place where D'Artagnan was to fight Athos. D'Artagnan resumed his chase, but the man from Meung was gone. Suddenly the events of the morning began to sink in. D'Artagnan had disgraced himself in front of Monsieur de Tréville by rushing out like that. Then he had challenged two dangerous men

“不，我不知道，”达达尼昂说，他的脾气又起来了。 “你以为你能从我身边挤过去吗？”Porthos问道。 “你闯进来之前应该先问问。” “我很着急，”达达尼昂说。 “这非常重要。你又太大，斗篷又太长。 它挡了我的路——”“什么？”Porthos喊道。 两人争论起来，就像当初和阿托斯争吵一样，达达尼昂很快同意了另一场决斗。 这个时间定在一点钟，就是达达尼昂和阿托斯决斗的地点。 达达尼昂继续追赶，但是从蒙来的人已经不见了。 突然间，早晨发生的事情开始浮现在脑海中。 达达尼昂那样冲出去，在德·特雷姆维尔先生面前丢脸了。 然后他挑战了两个危险的人

to duels. What's worse, he thought of those two men as heroes! What a fool I am, D'Artagnan thought. I should try to be like Aramis. Didn't he seem friendly and graceful? Suddenly D'Artagnan saw Aramis talking with some other men. This time, D'Artagnan decided to be careful and polite. He saw a handkerchief under Aramis's boot and picked it up. "Here, Monsieur," D'Artagnan said. "I believe you dropped this." Aramis snatched it quickly and the other men began to tease him. "So, Aramis," one of them said, "if you truly don't know Madame de Bois-Tracy, why do you have her handkerchief?" "You are mistaken," Aramis said. "This does not belong to me. Perhaps it fell from your pocket." "I'm sorry," D'Artagnan said, trying to help.

决斗。更糟糕的是，他把那两个人当成英雄！我真是个傻瓜，达达尼昂心想。 我应该学学阿拉米斯。 他看起来是不是很友好，很优雅？ 突然，达达尼昂看见阿拉米斯和另外几个人在说话。 这一次，达达尼昂决定小心谨慎、彬彬有礼。 他看到阿拉米斯的靴子下面有一块手帕，就把它捡了起来。 “这儿，先生。”达达尼昂说。 “我相信这是你掉的。” 阿拉米斯迅速抢了过来，其他人开始取笑他。 “那么，阿拉米斯，”其中一个说，“如果你真的不认识德·布瓦-特雷西夫人，你为什么拿着她的手帕？”“你错了，”阿拉米斯说。 “这不是我的东西。 也许是从你口袋里掉出来的。” “对不起，”达达尼昂说，想帮忙。

"I didn't see it fall from anyone's pocket. I just saw it under your shoe." The men left, still laughing at Aramis, who walked in the other direction. D'Artagnan ran after him to apologize. Unfortunately, Aramis was now embarrassed and angry. Instead of accepting the apology, he called D'Artagnan a fool for his behavior. Once again, D'Artagnan lost his temper. He quickly challenged Aramis to a duel, and they agreed to meet at two o'clock. I don't think I'll survive this, D'Artagnan thought. Well, if I am to be killed, at least I'll be killed by a Musketeer. D'Artagnan was convinced that he couldn't win three duels, but he wasn't the sort of person to just give up. Instead, he thought about how he could outsmart the three Musketeers. Soon he arrived at the meeting place for his duel with Athos: a small monastery surrounded by empty fields.

“我没有看到它从任何人的口袋里掉出来。 我刚才在你的鞋底下看到的。” 那些人走了，还在嘲笑阿拉米斯，阿拉米斯朝另一个方向走去。 达达尼昂追上去道歉。 不幸的是，阿拉米斯现在又尴尬又生气。 他不但没有接受道歉，反而称达达尼昂的行为是一个傻瓜。 达达尼昂又一次发了脾气。 他很快向阿拉米斯提出决斗，他们同意在两点钟见面。 我想我活不下去了，达达尼昂想。 好吧，如果我要被杀，至少我会被一个火枪手杀死。 达达尼昂确信他不可能赢得三场决斗，但他不是那种轻易放弃的人。 相反，他想的是如何智胜那三个火枪手。 不久，他来到了与阿托斯决斗的地点：一座被空旷的田野包围的小修道院。

Athos was waiting with his typical calm and dignity. From his movements, it was clear that he was still injured. "Monsieur, I have asked two friends to be with me today," Athos told D'Artagnan. "They should be here soon. I don't know why they're late." "I have no one to be here with me," D'Artagnan said. "The only person I know in this city is Monsieur de Tréville." After a moment's thought, Athos said, "He's your only friend? Well look here, if I kill you, I shall be taken for an ogre. You are far too young for this." "No one will say you overpowered me," D'Artagnan said. "After all, your wounds still seem to be giving you trouble." "They are very troublesome, indeed," Athos said. "You hurt me when you ran into me. But I can fight just as well with my other hand."

阿托斯带着他一贯的冷静和尊严在等着。 从他的动作来看，他显然还受了伤。 “先生，今天我请了两位朋友来陪我。”阿托斯对达达尼昂说。 “他们应该很快就到了。 我不知道他们为什么迟到。” “这里没有人陪我，”达达尼昂说。 “我在这个城市里唯一认识的人是德·特雷姆维尔先生。” 阿托斯想了一会儿，说：“他是你唯一的朋友？ 听着，如果我杀了你，我就会被当成食人魔。 你太年轻了。” “没人会说你打败了我，”达达尼昂说。 “毕竟，你的伤口似乎还在给你添麻烦。” “他们的确很麻烦，”阿托斯说。 “你撞到我的时候伤了我。 但我的另一只手也能打得很好。”
