Chapter 27

第二十七章

Two or three weeks passed. One morning, having come to a pause in my work, I thought I would give myself a holiday, and I went to the Louvre. I wandered about looking at the pictures I knew so well, and let my fancy play idly with the emotions they suggested. I sauntered into the long gallery, and there suddenly saw Stroeve. I smiled, for his appearance, so rotund and yet so startled, could never fail to excite a smile, and then as I came nearer I noticed that he seemed singularly disconsolate. He looked woebegone and yet ridiculous, like a man who has fallen into the water with all his clothes on, and, being rescued from death, frightened still, feels that he only looks a fool. Turning round, he stared at me, but I perceived that he did not see me. His round blue eyes looked harassed behind his glasses.

又過(guò)了兩三個(gè)星期。一天早晨，我的工作正好告一段落，我覺(jué)得可以放自己一天假，便決定到盧佛爾宮去消磨一天。我在畫(huà)廊里隨便走著，一邊欣賞那些我早已非常熟悉的名畫(huà)，一邊任憑我的幻想同這些畫(huà)幅所激起的感情隨意嬉戲。我悠閑地走進(jìn)長(zhǎng)畫(huà)廊，突然一眼看到了施特略夫。我臉上泛起了笑容，因?yàn)樗菆A胖的身軀、象受了驚嚇?biāo)频纳袂槭刮颐看我?jiàn)到總是要發(fā)笑。但是在我走近他以后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他的神情非常沮喪。他的樣子凄苦不堪，但又那么滑稽，好象一個(gè)穿得衣冠齊楚而失足落水的人被打撈上來(lái)以后仍然心懷余悸，生怕別人拿他當(dāng)笑話(huà)看。他轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身來(lái)，兩眼瞪著我，但是我知道他并沒(méi)有看見(jiàn)我。他的一雙碧藍(lán)的圓眼睛在眼鏡片后面充滿(mǎn)了憂(yōu)傷。

Stroeve, I said.

“施特略夫?！蔽医辛艘宦?。

He gave a little start, and then smiled, but his smile was rueful.

他嚇了一跳，接著就露出笑容來(lái)，但是他笑得那么凄慘。

Why are you idling in this disgraceful fashion? I asked gaily.

“你怎么這樣丟了魂似地在這里游蕩？”我用快活的語(yǔ)調(diào)問(wèn)道。

It's a long time since I was at the Louvre. I thought I'd come and see if they had anything new.

“我很久沒(méi)有到盧佛爾宮來(lái)了。我想得來(lái)看看他們展出了什么新東西沒(méi)有?！?/p>

But you told me you had to get a picture finished this week.

“可是你不是告訴我，這禮拜得畫(huà)好一幅畫(huà)嗎？”

Strickland's painting in my studio.

“思特里克蘭德在我畫(huà)室里畫(huà)畫(huà)兒呢?！?/p>

Well?

“哦？”

I suggested it myself. He's not strong enough to go back to his own place yet. I thought we could both paint there. Lots of fellows in the Quarter share a studio. I thought it would be fun. I've always thought it would be jolly to have someone to talk to when one was tired of work.

“我提議叫他在那里畫(huà)的。他身體還不夠好，還不能回到自己的住處去。我本來(lái)想我們可以共用那間畫(huà)室。在拉丁區(qū)很多人都是合伙租用一間畫(huà)室。我本來(lái)以為這是個(gè)好辦法。一個(gè)人畫(huà)累了的時(shí)候，身邊有個(gè)伴兒可以談兩句，我一直以為這樣做會(huì)很有趣?！?/p>

He said all this slowly, detaching statement from statement with a little awkward silence, and he kept his kind, foolish eyes fixed on mine. They were full of tears.

這些話(huà)他說(shuō)得很慢，每說(shuō)一句話(huà)就非常尷尬地停歇好半晌兒，與此同時(shí)，他的一對(duì)溫柔的、有些傻氣的大眼睛卻一直緊緊盯著我，只是在那里面已經(jīng)充滿(mǎn)了淚水了。
