| 【書摘】蓋爾芒特家那邊—對阿爾貝蒂娜的欲念 (The desire for Albertine) 1-1 Tout d’un coup, sans que j’eusse entendu sonner, Françoise vint ouvrir la porte, introduisant Albertine qui entra souriante, silencieuse, replète, contenant dans la plénitude de son corps, préparés pour que je continuasse à les vivre, venus vers moi, les jours passés dans ce Balbec où je n’étais jamais retourné. Sans doute, chaque fois que nous revoyons une personne avec qui nos rapports – si insignifiants soient-ils – se trouvent changés, c’est comme une confrontation de deux époques. Il n’y a pas besoin pour cela qu’une ancienne maîtresse vienne nous voir en amie, il suffit de la visite à Paris de quelqu’un que nous avons connu dans l’au-jour-le-jour d’un certain genre de vie, et que cette vie ait cessé, fût-ce depuis une semaine seulement. Sur chaque trait rieur, interrogatif et gêné du visage d’Albertine, je pouvais épeler ces questions : « Et Madame de Villeparisis ? Et le maître de danse ? Et le pâtissier ? » Quand elle s’assit, son dos eut l’air de dire : « Dame, il n’y a pas de falaise ici, vous permettez que je m’asseye tout de même près de vous, comme j’aurais fait à Balbec ? » (l’édition Gallimard, Paris, 1946-47) 突然，弗朗索瓦絲打開房門，帶來了阿爾貝蒂娜，可我根本沒有聽見門鈴聲。阿爾貝蒂娜滿面春風，走進房間，一句話也不說。她體貌豐盈。在她富態的身軀中，蘊涵著在巴爾貝克海灘——我再也沒有回去過——度過的時光。她準備讓我重溫這昔日的時光，我看見它們正在朝我走來。毫無疑問，每當我們和一個同我們的關係已發生變化的人重逢，即使關係不甚密切，也好像看到了兩個不同的時期。不用說是我們從前的情婦以朋友身份來看我們，就是在日復一日的某種生活中認識的一個人到巴黎來探望我們，只要這種生活已經結束，哪怕才結束一個星期，就足以使我們看到兩個不同的時期。從阿爾貝蒂娜臉上每一根顯示喜悅、詢問和局促不安的線條中，我可以辨讀出這些問題：「德·維爾巴里西斯夫人好嗎？那位舞蹈教練好嗎？那位賣糕點的師傅好嗎？」當她坐下時，她的脊背仿佛在說：「啊，這裡沒有懸崖峭壁，不過，您會讓我坐在您身邊吧，就像在巴爾貝克海灘一樣。」 (p.388~389 追憶似水年華 III蓋爾芒特家那邊 聯經版 1992) Suddenly, although I had heard no bell, Françoise opened the door to let in Albertine, who came forward smiling, silent, plump, containing in the fulness of her body, made ready so that I might continue living them, come in search of me, the days we had spent together at that Balbec to which I had never since returned. No doubt, whenever we see again a person with whom our relations—however trivial they may have been—are altered, it is like a juxtaposition of two different periods. For this, we do not require that a former mistress should come to call upon us as a friend, all that we need is the visit to Paris of a person whom we had known in the daily round of some particular kind of life, and that this life should have ceased for us, were it no more than a week ago. On each of Albertine’s smiling, questioning, blushing features I could read the questions: “And Madame de Villeparisis? And the dancing-master? And the pastry-cook?” When she sat down her back seemed to be saying: “Gracious! There’s no cliff here; you don’t mind if I sit down beside you, all the same, as I used to do at Balbec?” (Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff) Suddenly, without my having heard the bell, Françoise opened the door to show Albertine into the room; she came in smiling, silent, plump, containing in the plenitude of her body, in readiness for me to continue living them, come to find out where I was, the days spent in that Balbec to which I had never since returned. No doubt, whenever we re-encounter someone with whom our relations－however trivial they may be－have now changed, it is like two distinct periods in time coming together. It does not take the visit of a former mistress who is now a friend to effect this, but simply the arrival in Paris of someone we have known on a daily basis in a certain kind of life, and the fact that this life has now ceased, if only a week ago. On each of Albertine’s smiling, questioning, hesitant features I could spell out the questions: “And what about Mme de Villeparisis? And the dancing teacher? And the confectioner?” When she sat down, her back seemed to be saying, “There are no cliffs here, I know, but you don’t mind if I sit beside you, as I used to in Balbec, do you?” (Translated by Mark Treharne) |
