9 D’Artagnan Loses His Love

CHAPTER 9 D'Artagnan Loses His Love, but Finds Porthos D'Artagnan made his way to his meeting with Constance Bonacieux at a small house on the outskirts of the city. He arrived on time and waited for her outside. After a few hours, he decided to look in a lit window on the second floor. He climbed a tree and was shocked at the sight inside. The room was a mess, as if there had been a great struggle. D'Artagnan began to panic. He was worried that Constance had

第九章达达尼昂失去了爱人，却找到了波托斯达达尼昂到城郊的一所小房子里去见康斯坦斯·波那瑟。 他准时到了，在外面等她。 几个小时后，他决定向二楼一扇亮着灯的窗户里看一看。 他爬上一棵树，被里面的景象吓了一跳。 房间里乱成一团，好像发生了一场激烈的搏斗。 达达尼昂开始惊慌起来。 他很担心康斯坦斯

been kidnapped again. He ran to a house across the road, where an old man answered the door. D'Artagnan begged the old man to tell him if anything strange had happened at the house across the street. The man said that five men had kicked open the door of the house and dragged a young woman out. She had been screaming. They carried her to a carriage and drove away. "Only one of the men didn't wear a sword. He was short and fat, older, nearly bald," the old man said. "The ringleader was a tall man with a mustache and black eyes. I believe he had a scar on his face." With a heavy heart, D'Artagnan returned home. Monsieur Bonacieux was waiting for someone outside and grew nervous when he saw D'Artagnan. D'Artagnan was suspicious of everyone and studied his landlord closely.

又被绑架了。他跑到马路对面的一所房子，一位老人开了门。 达达尼昂恳求老人告诉他街对面的房子是否发生了什么怪事。 这名男子说，五名男子踢开了房子的门，把一名年轻女子拖了出来。 她一直在尖叫。他们把她抬上马车就走了。 “只有一个人没有佩剑。 他又矮又胖，年纪大了，几乎秃顶了，”老人说。 头目是个高个子，留着小胡子，黑眼睛。 我相信他脸上有一道伤疤。” 达达尼昂怀着沉重的心情回到了家。 波那瑟先生在外面等人，看见达达尼昂时，他变得紧张起来。 达达尼昂对每个人都抱着怀疑的态度，仔细打量着他的房东。

Then he thought, Short and fat, older, nearly bald. Monsieur Bonacieux helped kidnap his own wife! D'Artagnan hurried up to his room, where Planchet told him that two messages had arrived earlier. One was a letter for Aramis. The other was for D'Artagnan. The Cardinal wanted to see him immediately. This is too much, D'Artagnan thought. Now the Cardinal himself is after me personally. I must escape and find my friends. D'Artagnan and Planchet gathered several horses and rode out to the inn where they had left Porthos. "Oh yes," the innkeeper said, when D'Artagnan arrived. "Monsieur Porthos is here. He is in our best room, in fact. We have been worried about him." "Is he hurt?" D'Artagnan asked. "No, we were worried about his expenses,"

接着他又想，又矮又胖，年纪大了，几乎秃顶了。 波那瑟先生帮助绑架了他自己的妻子！达达尼昂急忙回到他的房间，普朗歇告诉他，早些时候有两封信到了。 一封是给阿拉米斯的信。 另一个是给达达尼昂的。 红衣主教要马上见他。 这太过分了，达达尼昂想。 现在红衣主教亲自来找我。 我必须逃走，去找我的朋友。 达达尼昂和普朗歇召集了几匹马，骑马来到他们把波托斯留在那里的旅馆。 “哦，是的，”旅店老板在达达尼昂到来时说。 “波托斯先生在这里。 事实上，他住在我们最好的房间。 我们一直很担心他。” “他受伤了吗？”D’artagnan问道。 “不，我们担心的是他的开销。”

said the innkeeper. "He eats our best food every day, but we haven't been able to get him to pay us. Whenever we ask, he nearly attacks us. Everyone here is terrified of him." "He does have a short temper," D'Artagnan said, laughing. "Especially when he has no money. You don't need to worry. He will be able to pay you. He's under the protection of a fine, wealthy young lady back in Paris. He has told me this many times." "I'm afraid he hasn't told you everything, then," the innkeeper said. "You see, he gave us a letter for his duchess and I decided to bring it to her myself. His young lady is actually well over fifty years old, although she behaves as if she's much younger." "She isn't wealthy or beautiful?" D'Artagnan asked. "Unfortunately not," said the innkeeper. "She called him nasty names and said she would not help him until he came to see her,

旅店老板说。“他每天吃我们最好的食物，但我们一直没能让他付钱给我们。 每当我们问，他几乎攻击我们。 这里的每个人都怕他。” “他的确脾气暴躁，”达达尼昂笑着说。 “尤其是当他没钱的时候。 你不用担心。他会付你钱的。 他在巴黎有一位漂亮富有的年轻女士保护。 他已经跟我说过很多次了。” “那么，恐怕他还没有把一切都告诉你，”旅店老板说。 “你看，他给了我们一封信给他的公爵夫人，我决定亲自把信带给她。 他的小姐实际上已经五十多岁了，虽然她的举止却显得年轻得多。” “她既不富有也不漂亮？”D’artagnan问道。 “很遗憾没有。”店主说。 “她恶狠狠地骂他，说他不来见她，她就不帮他，

even though he was hurt. He was injured in his duel, you see. The man he fought managed to hurt Monsieur Porthos quite badly. After the duel, the man asked for your friend's name. When he learned it was Porthos, the man apologized and said he had been looking for a Monsieur D'Artagnan. Do you know him?" "I've never heard of him," D'Artagnan said carefully. "Please tell me where my friend is and I will make sure you are paid for his stay." The innkeeper directed D'Artagnan to a room upstairs where Porthos and his assistant were playing cards. "D'Artagnan, is that you?" Porthos said. "It is good to see you again, at last! I'm afraid I can't stand up to greet you, for I'm still injured. Have you spoken to the landlord about me?" D'Artagnan didn't want to embarrass his

尽管他受伤了。你知道，他在决斗中受了伤。 与他搏斗的那个人把波托斯先生伤得很重。 决斗结束后，那人问你朋友的名字。 当他知道那是波托斯时，那人向他道歉，说他一直在找一位达达尼昂先生。 你认识他吗？”“我从来没听说过他，”达达尼昂小心翼翼地说。 “请告诉我我的朋友在哪里，我保证给你支付他的住宿费。” 旅馆老板把达达尼昂领到楼上的一个房间，波托斯和他的助手正在那里打牌。 “达达尼昂，是您吗？”Porthos说。 “终于又见到你了，真高兴！”我怕我不能站起来迎接你，因为我还在受伤。 你跟房东谈过我的事吗？”达达尼昂不想让自己难堪

friend, so he said the landlord hadn't said anything about him. Porthos told D'Artagnan that he had easily won his fight with the stranger, but then he had tripped over some rocks and hurt himself. D'Artagnan knew his friend was too embarrassed to say that he hadn't won the duel. "Why haven't you come back to Paris?" he asked. "I was going to return. I'm very bored here," Porthos said. "Unfortunately, I met some travelers one night and, even though they seemed friendly, they stole my money and my horses while I was asleep. I've been waiting for my beautiful duchess to send me the money to return. She is very much in love with me, you understand. I'm sure she will send the money when she receives my letter." "I know she will," D'Artagnan said. Then he told Porthos of his adventures since they

朋友，所以他说房东对他只字未提。 波托斯告诉达达尼昂，他很容易就赢得了与陌生人的战斗，但后来他被一些石头绊倒了，伤了自己。 达达尼昂知道他的朋友不好意思说他没有赢得决斗。 “你为什么不回巴黎来呢？”他问道。 “我正要回去。我在这里很无聊，”波托斯说。 “不幸的是，一天晚上我遇到了一些旅行者，尽管他们看起来很友好，但他们趁我睡着的时候偷走了我的钱和马。 我一直在等我美丽的公爵夫人给我寄钱回来。 她非常爱我，你明白的。 我相信她收到我的信后会把钱寄来的。” “我知道她会的，”达达尼昂说。 然后他把他的冒险经历告诉了波托斯
