A few days after this Eugene called at Mme. de Restaud’s house; she was not at home. —-

他试验了三次，三次发现她的门对他紧闭，尽管他特意选择了特尔莱伯爵不在的时候。 —-

The Vicomtesse was right.

The student studied no longer. He put in an appearance at lectures simply to answer to his name, and after thus attesting his presence, departed forthwith. —-
这个学生不再学习。他只是出现在讲座上报个到，然后立刻离开。 —-

He had been through a reasoning process familiar to most students. —-
大多数学生熟悉的推理过程，他已经经历过。 —-

He had seen the advisability of deferring his studies to the last moment before going up for his examinations; —-
他认识到推迟学习直至参加考试前的最后时刻是明智的； —-

he made up his mind to cram his second and third years’ work into the third year, when he meant to begin to work in earnest, and to complete his studies in law with one great effort. —-
他决定在第三年把第二年和第三年的学业一起填塞进去，然后开始认真学习，并以一次巨大的努力完成法学学业。 —-

In the meantime he had fifteen months in which to navigate the ocean of Paris, to spread the nets and set the lines that would bring him a protectress and a fortune. —-
同时，他有十五个月的时间在巴黎的海洋中航行，布置网，布设渔线，以找到一个庇护者和一笔财富。 —-

Twice during that week he saw Mme. de Beauseant; —-
那周他两次见到了博桑夫人； —-

he did not go to her house until he had seen the Marquis d’Ajuda drive away.

and the marriage of the Marquis d’Ajuda-Pinto with Mlle. de Rochefide was postponed. —-

The Marquis d’Ajuda and the Rochefides agreed that this quarrel and reconciliation was a very fortunate thing; —-
阿茹达侯爵和罗切菲德一家都认为这场争吵和和解是一件非常幸运的事； —-

Mme. de Beauseant (so they hoped) would gradually become reconciled to the idea of the marriage, and in the end would be brought to sacrifice d’Ajuda’s morning visits to the exigencies of a man’s career, exigencies which she must have foreseen. —-
他们希望博桑夫人最终会逐渐接受这段婚姻的想法，并最终牺牲阿茹达侯爵的早晨拜访于一个男人事业的要求，而她必定已经预见到了这些要求。 —-

In spite of the most solemn promises, daily renewed, M. d’Ajuda was playing a part, and the Vicomtesse was eager to be deceived. —-
尽管M. d’Ajuda每天都在重申最庄严的承诺，但维孔特夫人却渴望被欺骗。 —-

“Instead of taking a leap heroically from the window, she is falling headlong down the staircase,” said her most intimate friend, the Duchesse de Langeais. —-
“她并没有英勇地从窗户跳下去，而是头朝下摔下楼梯，”她最亲密的朋友，朗日女公爵说道。 —-

Yet this after-glow of happiness lasted long enough for the Vicomtesse to be of service to her young cousin. —-
然而，这种幸福的余辉持续了足够长的时间，让维孔特夫人能够帮助她的年轻堂弟。 —-

She had a half-superstitious affection for him. —-

Eugene had shown her sympathy and devotion at a crisis when a woman sees no pity, no real comfort in any eyes; —-

when if a man is ready with soothing flatteries, it is because he has an interested motive.

Rastignac made up his mind that he must learn the whole of Goriot’s previous history; —-

he would come to his bearings before attempting to board the Maison de Nucingen. —-
他决定在登陆纳辛让夫人的住所之前搞清楚情况。 —-

The results of his inquiries may be given briefly as follows:-
他的调查结果可以简要概括如下：-

In the days before the Revolution, Jean-Joachim Goriot was simply a workman in the employ of a vermicelli maker. —-
在大革命前，让·若阿奇姆·戈里奥只是一位意面制造商的雇员。 —-

He was a skilful, thrifty workman, sufficiently enterprising to buy his master’s business when the latter fell a chance victim to the disturbances of 1789. —-
他是一个技艺高超，勤俭节俭的工匠，足够有进取心，以至于在1789年的混乱中，他实现了购买他的上司的生意的愿望。 —-

Goriot established himself in the Rue de la Jussienne, close to the Corn Exchange. —-
戈里奥在接近谷物交易所的Rue de la Jussienne街上设立了自己的业务。 —-

His plain good sense led him to accept the position of President of the Section, so as to secure for his business the protection of those in power at that dangerous epoch. —-
他的实际常识使他接受了成为议事部门主席的职位，以确保他的业务在那个危险的时期得到当权者的保护。 —-

This prudent step had led to success; the foundations of his fortune were laid in the time of the Scarcity (real or artificial), when the price of grain of all kinds rose enormously in Paris. People used to fight for bread at the bakers’ doors; —-
这个谨慎的举措带来了成功；在物价飙升的真实或人为引起的缺粮时期，他的财富奠基了。人们常常为面包在面包师门口争吵； —-

while other persons went to the grocers’ shops and bought Italian paste foods without brawling over it. —-
而其他人则去杂货店买意大利面类食品，而无需争吵。 —-

It was during this year that Goriot made the money, which, at a later time, was to give him all the advantage of the great capitalist over the small buyer; —-
在这一年，戈里奥赚了钱，后来这笔钱使他具备了作为大资本家而胜过小买家的所有优势； —-

he had, moreover, the usual luck of average ability; his mediocrity was the salvation of him. —-
此外，他还有一般能力所拥有的幸运；他的平庸是他的救赎。 —-

He excited no one’s envy, it was not even suspected that he was rich till the peril of being rich was over, and all his intelligence was concentrated, not on political, but on commercial speculations. —-
他并不引起任何人的妒忌，直到变得富有的危险过去后，才被怀疑他是富有的；他所有的智慧都非常专注于商业投机，而不是政治。 —-

Goriot was an authority second to none on all questions relating to corn, flour, and “middlings”; —-
戈里奥在所有涉及粮食、面粉和“粗中筋”方面都是无与伦比的权威； —-

and the production, storage, and quality of grain. —-

He could estimate the yield of the harvest, and foresee market prices; —-
他能评估收成并预见市场价格； —-

he bought his cereals in Sicily, and imported Russian wheat. —-
他从西西里购买谷物并进口俄罗斯小麦。 —-

Any one who had heard him hold forth on the regulations that control the importation and exportation of grain, who had seen his grasp of the subject, his clear insight into the principles involved, his appreciation of weak points in the way that the system worked, would have thought that here was the stuff of which a minister is made. —-
任何听过他对控制谷物进口出口的法规讲解的人，看过他对这个主题的把握，清晰地洞察所涉及的原则，对系统运作中的疏漏有所把握，都会觉得他是一个部长的料。 —-

Patient, active, and persevering, energetic and prompt in action, he surveyed his business horizon with an
他是一位耐心、积极、执着、精力充沛、行动迅速的人，用鹰眼审视自己的业务范围。

eagle eye. Nothing there took him by surprise; —-
他无所不知，无事可以出其不意； —-

he foresaw all things, knew all that was happening, and kept his own counsel; —-
他能预见一切，了解一切正在发生的事情，并守口如瓶； —-

he was a diplomatist in his quick comprehension of a situation; —-

and in the routine of business he was as patient and plodding as a soldier on the march. —-
在业务日程中，他像行军的士兵一样耐心、脚踏实地。 —-

But beyond this business horizon he could not see. —-
但在这个业务范围之外，他看不到。 —-

He used to spend his hours of leisure on the threshold of his shop, leaning against the framework of the door. —-
他过去常常在店铺门口的门框上靠着度过闲暇时光。 —-

Take him from his dark little counting-house, and he became once more the rough, slow-witted workman, a man who cannot understand a piece of reasoning, who is indifferent to all intellectual pleasures, and falls asleep at the play, a Parisian Dolibom in short, against whose stupidity other minds are powerless.
把他从昏暗的小算账房里带出来，他立刻又变成那个粗野、迟钝的工人，一个不懂得推理的人，对一切智力愉悦漠不关心，在戏剧中打起瞌睡，总的来说，他是巴黎的多利翁，其他人无法逾越他的愚鲁。

Natures of this kind are nearly all alike; —-
这类人的天性几乎都是相似的； —-

in almost all of them you will find some hidden depth of sublime affection. —-

Two allabsorbing affections filled the vermicelli maker’s heart to the exclusion of every other feeling; —-

into them he seemed to put all the forces of his nature, as he put the whole power of his brain into the corn trade. —-
他似乎把所有的天性力量都投入其中，就像他把整个思维力都投入到玉米贸易中一样。 —-

He had regarded his wife, the only daughter of a rich farmer of La Brie, with a devout admiration; —-
他对妻子——一个来自拉布里富裕农场主的独生女——抱有虔诚的崇拜； —-

his love for her had been boundless. Goriot had felt the charm of a lovely and sensitive nature, which, in its delicate strength, was the very opposite of his own. —-
他对她的爱是无限的。戈里奥感受到一种可爱而敏感本质的魅力，这种本质在其精致的力量中与他的相反。 —-

Is there any instinct more deeply implanted in the heart of man than the pride of protection, a protection which is constantly exerted for a fragile and defenceless creature? —-
在人类的心灵中，还有比保护之荣更深根的本能吗，这种保护不断地为脆弱无助的生物所施展？ —-

Join love thereto, the warmth of gratitude that all generous souls feel for the source of their pleasures, and you have the explanation of many strange incongruities in human nature.
将爱与其中，将那所有慷慨灵魂对快乐源泉的热情，你就可以解释人性中许多奇怪不协调之处。 —-

After seven years of unclouded happiness, Goriot lost his wife. It was very unfortunate for him. —-
在七年无云的幸福之后，戈里奥失去了妻子。这对他来说是非常不幸的。 —-

She was beginning to gain an ascendency over him in other ways; —-
她正开始以其他方式影响他； —-

possibly she might have brought that barren soil under cultivation, she might have widened his ideas and given other directions to his thoughts. —-
可能她本可以使那贫瘠的土地得到开垦，可能她本可以拓展他的思想，给他的思绪赋予其他方向。 —-

But when she was dead, the instinct of fatherhood developed in him till it almost became a mania. —-
但她去世后，父爱之本能在他身上发展，几乎成了一种狂热。 —-

All the affection balked by death qeemed to turn to his daughters, and he found full satisfaction for his heart in loving them. —-

wealthy merchants or farmers with daughters vied with each other in offering inducements to him to marry again; —-
富有的商人或农民为了让他再婚，竞相提供诱因； —-

but he determined to remain a widower. His father-in-law, the only man for whom he felt a decided friendship, gave out that Goriot had made a vow to be faithful to his wife’s memory. —-
但他决定继续做鳏夫。他唯一真正友好的人，他岳父，宣称戈里奥发誓要对他妻子的记忆忠诚。 —-

The frequenters of the Corn Exchange, who could not comprehend this sublime piece of folly, joked about it among themselves, and found a ridiculous nickname for him. —-
市场交易者们不能理解这种崇高的愚蠢，他们暗自戏谑，并给他起了个荒谬的绰号。 —-

One of them ventured (after a glass over a bargain) to call him by it, and a blow from the vermicelli maker’s fist sent him headlong into a gutter in the Rue Oblin. He could think of nothing else when his children were concerned; —-
他的孩子们受到影响时，他什么都想不到； —-

his love for them made him fidgety and anxious; ! —-
他对他们的爱让他坐立不安； —-

nd this was so well known, that one day a competitor, who wished to get rid of him to secure the field to himself, told Goriot that Delphine had just been knocked down by a cab. —-
这件是众所周知的，所以有一天，一个希望摆脱他以占有市场的竞争对手告诉戈里奥德尔菲娜刚被马车撞倒。 —-

The vermicelli maker turned ghastly pale, left the Exchange at once, and did not return for several days afterwards; —-
这位面条制造者立刻脸色苍白，立刻离开交易所，几天后才回来； —-

he was ill in consequence of the shock and the subsequent relief on discovering that it was a false alarm. —-

This time, however, the offender did not escape with a bruised shoulder; —-

at a critical moment in the man’s affairs, Goriot drove him into bankruptcy, and forced him to disappear from the Corn Exchange.
在该男子处境关键时刻，戈里奥使他破产，迫使他从市场消失。

As might have been expected, the two girls were spoiled. —-

有六万法郎的收入，戈里奥几乎只花了一千两百法郎在自己身上，并且所有的幸福都在满足这两个女孩的奇想中。 —-

The best masters were engaged, that Anastasie and Delphine might be endowed with all the accomplishments which distinguish a good education. —-
最好的导师都被雇佣，这样阿纳斯塔茜和德尔菲娜就能拥有一切优秀教育所具备的技能。 —-

They had a chaperon—luckily for them, she was a woman who had good sense and good taste; —-
她们有个监护人—幸运的是她是个有见识和品位的女人； —-

—they learned to ride; they had a carriage for their use; —-
他们学会了骑马；他们有马车可乘； —-

they lived as the mistress of a rich old lord might live; —-

they had only to express a wish, their father would hasten to give them their most extravagant desires, and asked nothing of them in return but a kiss. —-

and, quite naturally, he himself was left beneath them. Poor man! —-
很自然地，他自己却被远远抛在她们之下。可怜的人！ —-

当女孩们到了结婚的年龄，她们可以自由选择伴侣； —-

Each had half her father’s fortune as her dowry; —-
每个女孩都有父亲一半的财产作为嫁妆； —-

and when the Comte de Restaud came to woo Anastasie for her beauty, her social aspirations led her to leave her father’s house for a more exalted sphere. —-
安娜斯塔茜为了她的美貌，社会上的雄心引导她离开父亲的住处追求更崇高的圈子，当雷斯托伯爵前来求婚时； —-

Delphine wished for money; she married Nucingen, a banker of German extraction, who became a Baron of the Holy Roman Empire. —-
德尔芬想要钱；她嫁给了努辛根，一位德国血统的银行家，后来成为神圣罗马帝国的男爵； —-

Goriot remained a vermicelli maker as before. His daughters and his sons-in-law began to demur; —-
戈里奥仍然是面粉制造商，和以前一样；他的女儿和女婿开始表示反对； —-

they did not like to see him still engaged in trade, though his whole life was bound up with his business. —-
他们不喜欢看到他仍在从商，尽管他的整个生活都与生意紧密相连； —-

For five years he stood out against their entreaties, then he yielded, and consented to retire on the amount realized by the sale of his business and the savings of the last few years. —-
五年来，他坚持着抵抗他们的恳求，然后屈服了，并同意退休，以他的生意出售所得和最近几年的积蓄为资本； —-

It was this capital that Mme. Vauquer, in the early days of his residence with her, had calculated would bring in eight or ten thousand livres in a year. —-
就是这个本金，早年间他与瓦克夫夫人同住时，曾经估计每年可以带来八到十万里弗； —-

He had taken refuge in her lodging house, driven there by despair when he knew that his daughters were compelled by their husbands not only to refuse to receive him as an inmate in their houses, but even to see him no more except in private.
当他知道他的女儿们被丈夫逼迫不仅不允许他做他们家里的成员，甚至私下见他都不准，他绝望地逃到她的旅馆里。

This was all the information which Rastignac gained from a M. Muret who had purchased Goriot’s business, information which confirmed the Duchesse de Langeais’ suppositions, and herewith the preliminary explanation of this obscure but terrible Parisian tragedy comes to an end.
这是拉斯康纳从一个叫做穆雷的人那里获得的所有信息，他购买了戈里奥的生意。这些信息证实了朗蓓尔公爵夫人的猜测，随着这一巴黎悲剧的初步解释到此结束。

Towards the end of the first week in December Rastignac received two letters—one from his mother, and one from his eldest sister. —-

But while he felt a shiver of dread as he remembered their dire poverty at home, he knew their love for him so well that he could not help fearing that he was draining their very life-blood. —-
但当他想起家里的穷困，感到恐惧的同时，他又深知他们对他的爱，以至于担心自己是在榨干他们的血汗。 —-
