送回项链之后,玛蒂尔德并没有直接回家,而是来到了河边的公园。
此时已是黄昏,河面上许许多多的白色的水鸟飞来飞去,似乎脚上还踏着华尔兹的舞点,尽情的飞翔;黄昏的天空显得那么的美丽,那红色的余光散在河面上,照在水鸟身上,洒在正坐在河边凳子上静静注视着河面的玛蒂尔德的脸上,她显得是那样的美丽迷人,脸上看不到一丝的苦楚,却显得那样的轻松……
玛蒂尔德,看着水鸟飞舞,脑中回想起那个舞会来,那个晚上她是多么的美丽,多么使人倾倒啊!而今……但她并没有感到痛楚,虽然在经济上,他将面临贫困的残酷,肉体的苦楚,精神的折磨……但在今天,在现在,她却是那样的轻松,甚至是有那么点的快感,因为在精神上,在品德上,她依旧是清白的,她是诚实的,她没有让朋友失望,没有失去道德的底线……
当她起身准备走的时候,她的眼中出现了她丈夫的影子,她揉揉眼,以为是幻觉,睁开眼她的丈夫依旧在。这时, ,玛蒂尔德的眼眶湿润了,对于她,她自知歉意太深,有太多太多的话想要对他讲,却怎么也开不了口,唯有的只是大颗大颗的泪珠顺着脸颊往下掉……而她的丈夫什么也没说,有的只是将他的妻子玛蒂尔德抱在了怀中。
Dear Mr.Smith,
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination on International Business English Writing you gave last Friday. I feel awful about it and want you to know what happened that day.
I suddenly fell sick early that morning and my parents had to send me to the hospital.Please find enclosed a copy of the medical bill.
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology. I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make-up examination. I will come to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Sincerelyyours,
Wang Hua
弗来思节夫人感动极了,抓住她的手说:“哎!我可怜的玛蒂尔德!可是我那一挂是假的,至多只值500法郎!”
“我知道!”她说:“在这十年间我也曾想过,发现了很多可疑的地方。但是我想事情已经发生了,就坦然面对吧。正好也可以磨练一翻我的意志。太太,那间钻石项链带在我身上,现在看来是不美丽了,就把它送给你吧,也当给自己一个教训吧。”她一口气说了这么多,想诵读一样,眼神却不动流露出委屈的光来,她泪留满面,看着眼前苍老的女人都与自己有关,心里充满懊悔。
就在这时玛蒂尔德说:“朋友,我能再见一下那条项链吗,今晚我要参加一个朋友的聚会,觉得不体面,另外再借你家的轿车,行吗?”
她的.朋友爽快的答应了。带玛蒂尔德回了家。皆好后有给了玛蒂尔德3万法郎作为补偿。
玛蒂尔德欣然离开了。拂来思节望了她远去的背影,心想:这真是一个善良的女人啊。
5天后的一个清晨,晨报上刊出一条新闻:骗子玛蒂尔德骗走拂来思节夫人的珍贵宝物,至今还在逃亡中。望知情者配合警方缉拿逃犯。
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.
What a wonderful surprise!
I’m very happy to receive your letter, and I’m glad to hear that you will go to China to learn Chinese here. I have already found a fiat for you. It is on Fangcao Street, which is not far from Jianxin Chinese School. Bus No.11 can take you there, and it is one stop before the Chinese School. The flat is on the third floor with 3 rooms, one of which is bedroom, the other two are bathroom and kitchen. There are a bed, a sofa, a desk and some chairs in this 25 square-metres small fiat, and the rent is 500 yuan per month. Maybe this fiat is not as good as your wish, but I’ll try my best to meet your needs. If it is not suitable enough, write to me and I will look for another better place.
Hope you will come here soon!
All the best!
Yours,
Li Hua
“嘿玛蒂尔德多么愉快的一天啊我们有肉汤喝了!!”
“……”
“……玛蒂尔德?”
“……”
“……玛蒂尔德?”
“假的。”
“什么?”
“假的。”
“什么?你在说什么玛蒂尔德?”
“十年前福雷斯蒂埃太太借我的那串项链是假的。”
“什么??”
“是假的。”
“……”
“……”
“……太好了!!!”
“什么?”
“太好了玛蒂尔德!”
这突如其来的喜悦使罗瓦塞尔的脸涨得通红,他颤抖地捧起了玛蒂尔德的脸亲了一下。“太好了!!我们有钱了!!我们可以将它卖了,我们将会有三万六千法郎!!噢天啊!我们以后可以每个星期,不!每天都可以有肉汤喝了!我也可以买几只鸟枪了!你甚至再置办几件你喜欢的礼服了!而且我也早就想去……”
“不!”
“……啊?什么意思?”
“你不能把这串项链卖掉!”
“为什么??!!”
“……多么漂亮的项链啊,它是我所见过的最漂亮的项链。以后我若是戴着它去参加舞会,一定会再次吸引所有人的目光的,像十年期一样!!
”你疯了?!我们的十年就是为了它!三万六千法郎啊!你疯了!“
”它多美……它多美……我一定会吸引所有人的目光的……一如十年前那晚一般……“玛蒂尔德直直的看向项链,自顾自地喃喃着,旁若无人一般。
