5 A Mysterious Night

CHAPTER 5 A Mysterious Night The door opened and Madame Bonacieux spoke to a young woman inside. D'Artagnan watched as they exchanged handkerchiefs. What does this mean? he wondered. When Madame Bonacieux left and hurried down the street, D'Artagnan ran after her. He touched her shoulder and she cried out. "It's you!" she said. "Oh, thank goodness. Why have you followed me?" "I was about to visit my friend. He lives in that house. Do you know Aramis?"

第五章神秘的夜晚门开了，波那瑟太太跟里面的一个年轻女人说话。 达达尼昂看着他们交换手帕。 这是什么意思？他想知道。 波那瑟太太走了，匆匆沿街而去，阿达尼昂就跟在她后面。 他碰了碰她的肩膀，她叫了起来。 “是你！”她说。“哦，谢天谢地。 你为什么跟着我？”“我正要去拜访我的朋友。 他住在那所房子里。你认识阿拉米斯吗？”

"I don't," she said. "I was talking to a woman." "Who is she?" "That is a secret," she said. "If you still want to help me, please walk with me to my next meeting. Once we arrive, you must go." D'Artagnan did not want to leave her, especially with so many guards and secrets flying about. But when they arrived at her destination, he agreed to go home. Back at his apartment, Planchet told D'Artagnan that he had only been able to bring Athos back. But some more guards had come and arrested him! "They thought he was you," Planchet said. "He told me, 'D'Artagnan needs his freedom right now. The police will think they have him, which should give him a few days.'" "Brave Athos," D'Artagnan said. "I must find Monsieur de Tréville and tell him what has happened. Will you stay here? You're not

“我不知道，”她说。“我在和一个女人说话。” “她是谁？”“这是个秘密，”她说。 “如果你还想帮助我，请和我一起走到下一个会议。 我们一到，你就得走。” 达达尼昂不愿离开她，尤其是有那么多守卫和秘密在四处奔逃。 但当他们到达目的地时，他同意回家。 回到公寓后，普朗歇告诉达达尼昂，他只能把阿托斯带回来。 但是又来了一些警卫，把他逮捕了！“他们以为他是你，”普朗歇说。 “他告诉我，‘达达尼昂现在需要自由。 警察会认为他们抓住了他，这应该能给他几天时间。“勇敢的阿托斯，”达达尼昂说。 “我必须找到德·特雷姆维尔先生，告诉他发生了什么事。 你会留在这里吗？你不是

afraid?" "Don't worry," Planchet said. "I can be brave when I put my mind to it." On his way to Monsieur de Tréville's mansion, D'Artagnan saw a man and woman walking together. The man wore a Musketeer's uniform. D'Artagnan thought he looked like Aramis, so he ran to them. The man turned, but it wasn't Aramis. The woman turned as well. It was Madame Bonacieux again! "I had your promise," she said. "You swore you wouldn't follow me." "I'm sorry. I thought this man was someone else," D'Artagnan said. "Please take my arm, Madame," the man said. "Let us go on." D'Artagnan was confused and wouldn't move out of their way, so the man stepped forward and pushed him aside. D'Artagnan and the man both drew their swords.

害怕吗?”“别担心，”普朗切特说。 “只要我下定决心，我就能变得勇敢。” 在去德·特雷姆维尔先生府邸的路上，达达尼昂看见一男一女一起走着。 那人穿着火枪手的制服。 达达尼昂觉得他长得像阿拉米斯，就跑向他们。 那人转过身来，但不是阿拉米斯。 女人也转过身来。又是波那瑟太太！“你答应过我的，”她说。 “你发过誓不会跟着我的。” “我很抱歉。我以为这个人是别人，”达达尼昂说。 “请挽住我的胳膊，夫人，”那人说。 “我们继续走吧。”达达尼昂很困惑，不肯让开，于是那人上前把他推到一边。 达达尼昂和那人都拔出了剑。

"My Lord, don't fight!" Madame Bonacieux said. "My Lord?" D'Artagnan said. "Can you possibly be—" "It's the Duke of Buckingham," Madame Bonacieux said. "And now you may have ruined us all!" "Please forgive me," D'Artagnan said. "I only wanted to protect her." "You are a worthy young man," said the Duke. "If you wish to help, follow us at a distance. If you see anyone else following us, attack them." D'Artagnan followed behind Madame Bonacieux and the Duke until they entered the Palace. Inside, Madame Bonacieux led the Duke through many dark and secret passages. Finally they reached one of the Queen's rooms. When the Queen entered, the Duke was struck by her beauty. She was twenty-six,

“主人，不要战斗！”波那瑟太太说。 “我主?”D’artagnan说。 “那是白金汉公爵，”波那瑟太太说。 “现在你可能把我们都毁了！”“请原谅我，”达达尼昂说。 “我只是想保护她。” “你是一个值得尊敬的年轻人，”公爵说。 “如果你想帮忙，就远远地跟着我们。 如果你看到有人跟着我们，就攻击他们。” 阿达尼昂跟在波那瑟夫人和公爵后面，直到他们进了宫。 在屋里，波那瑟太太领着公爵走过许多阴暗的秘密通道。 最后，他们来到王后的一间房间。 王后进来时，公爵被她的美貌所折服。 她26岁，

with eyes that sparkled like emeralds. The Duke kneeled at her feet. "My Lord Duke," the Queen said. "You must already know that I did not invite you here." "I know," he said. "But I am in love with you and I wanted to see you again." "You must listen to me," she said. "Our kingdoms separate us. We must never meet again. Remember, I never told you that I loved you." "But you never said that you didn't love me," he said. It was true that she loved him, but it was too dangerous. If the King found out, the Duke's life would be in danger and the scandal could lead to a war with England. Just then, as if reading her thoughts, the Duke told her he wanted their kingdoms to go to war. "A war ends in peace," he explained. "And

眼睛像绿宝石一样闪闪发光。 公爵跪在她的脚边。 “公爵大人，”王后说。 “你一定已经知道，我并没有邀请你来这里。” “我知道，”他说。“但是我爱上你了，我想再见到你。” “你必须听我说，”她说。 “我们的王国把我们分开了。 我们不能再见面了。记住，我从没对你说过我爱你。” “但是你从来没有说过你不爱我，”他说。 她的确爱他，但这太危险了。 如果国王发现了，公爵的生命将处于危险之中，丑闻可能会导致与英格兰的战争。 就在这时，公爵仿佛读懂了她的心思，告诉她他希望两国开战。 “战争以和平结束，”他解释说。 ”,

peace requires an ambassador such as myself to come back to France and sign the papers. Then I shall see you again and no one will be able to stop me." "You are a foolish man," the Queen said. "You must go now. I don't want to see you harmed." "Madame, let me beg for an object from you, something to prove that I'm not dreaming," said the Duke. "Will you leave France and return to England?" the Queen asked. "I swear it." She went into her room, and returned with a small wooden jewelry box. "My Lord, here is a gift for you to remember me by," the Queen said. The Duke fell to one knee. "You promised to leave," the Queen reminded him. "I shall be true to my word, Your

和平需要一个像我这样的大使回到法国并签署文件。 这样我就能再见到你了，没有人能阻止我。” “你是一个愚蠢的人，”王后说。 “你现在必须走了。我不想看到你受到伤害。” “夫人，请允许我向您请求一样东西，证明我不是在做梦。”公爵说。 “你愿意离开法国回到英国吗？”女王问道。 “我发誓。”她走进自己的房间，拿着一个木制的小首饰盒回来。 “陛下，这是一件礼物，让您记住我。”女王说。 公爵单膝跪下。 “你答应过要离开的。”王后提醒他。 “我将信守我的诺言，陛下
