Father and Son

父与子

We will leave Danglars struggling with the demon of hatred, and endeavoring to insinuate in the ear of the shipowner some evil suspicions against his comrade, and follow Dantès, who, after having traversed La Canebière, took the Rue de Noailles, and entering a small house, on the left of the Allées de Meilhan, rapidly ascended four flights of a dark staircase, holding the baluster with one hand, while with the other he repressed the beatings of his heart, and paused before a half-open door, from which he could see the whole of a small room.

我们暂且不去管唐格拉斯如何与仇恨的恶魔纠缠，如何千方百计地向船主散布对同伴的恶意猜疑，且随着唐泰斯，看他穿越拉卡纳比埃尔大街，转入诺阿耶街，走进梅扬林荫道左侧的一幢小房子，迅速攀上四段昏暗的楼梯，一手扶着栏杆，另一手按住怦怦直跳的心，在一扇半掩的门前停住了脚步，从那里可以望见一间小屋的全貌。

This room was occupied by Dantès' father.

这间小屋住的正是唐泰斯的父亲。

The news of the arrival of the _Pharaon_ had not yet reached the old man, who, mounted on a chair, was amusing himself by training with trembling hand the nasturtiums and sprays of clematis that clambered over the trellis at his window.

法老号归港的消息尚未传到老人耳中，此刻他站在椅子上，正用颤抖的双手摆弄着爬上窗格的金莲花和铁线莲的枝蔓，自得其乐。

The old man uttered a cry, and turned round; then, seeing his son, he fell into his arms, pale and trembling.

老人惊叫一声，转过身来；随即看见了自己的儿子，脸色苍白，浑身颤抖，扑进了他的怀里。
