The King in Yellow — Page 5
「这是胡说八道吗,」我问道,努力压制着内心的感受,「当他说那套通称'王子纹章甲'的珐琅盔甲的护腿甲和大腿甲,可以在贝尔街一间阁楼里找到——那里堆满了生锈的戏服道具、破旧的炉子和拾荒者的废弃物——这是胡说八道吗?」
"Is it nonsense," I asked, managing to suppress what I felt, "is it nonsense when he says that the tassets and cuissards of the enamelled suit of armour commonly known as the 'Prince's Emblazoned' can be found among a mass of rusty theatrical properties, broken stoves and ragpicker's refuse in a garret in Pell Street?"
霍伯克的锤子掉落在地,但他捡起来,十分镇定地问我,是怎么知道'王子纹章甲'的护腿甲和左大腿甲不见了的。
Hawberk's hammer fell to the ground, but he picked it up and asked, with a great deal of calm, how I knew that the tassets and left cuissard were missing from the "Prince's Emblazoned."
「我之前并不知道,是王尔德先生前几天告诉我的。他说那些东西就在贝尔街998号的阁楼里。」
"I did not know until Mr. Wilde mentioned it to me the other day. He said they were in the garret of 998 Pell Street."
「胡说,」他喊道,但我注意到他的手在皮革围裙下颤抖着。
"Nonsense," he cried, but I noticed his hand trembling under his leathern apron.
「这也是胡说八道吗?」我愉快地问道,「当王尔德先生不断地称你为阿文郡侯爵,并称康斯坦斯小姐为——」
"Is this nonsense too?" I asked pleasantly, "is it nonsense when Mr. Wilde continually speaks of you as the Marquis of Avonshire and of Miss Constance—"
我没有说完,因为康斯坦斯已经满脸恐惧地猛地站了起来。霍伯克看着我,慢慢地抚平了他的皮革围裙。
I did not finish, for Constance had started to her feet with terror written on every feature. Hawberk looked at me and slowly smoothed his leathern apron.
「那是不可能的,」他说道,「王尔德先生也许知道很多事情——」
"That is impossible," he observed, "Mr. Wilde may know a great many things—"
「比如关于盔甲的事,还有'王子纹章甲',」我插话道,微笑着。
"About armour, for instance, and the 'Prince's Emblazoned,'" I interposed, smiling.
「是的,」他慢慢地继续说,「关于盔甲也是——也许——但他关于阿文郡侯爵的说法是错的。侯爵,如你所知,多年前杀死了诋毁他妻子的人,后来去了澳大利亚,在那里没过多久便随妻子而去了。」
"Yes," he continued, slowly, "about armour also—may be—but he is wrong in regard to the Marquis of Avonshire, who, as you know, killed his wife's traducer years ago, and went to Australia where he did not long survive his wife."
「王尔德先生。」
