佛来思节夫人感动极了,抓住了她两只手,说:
"唉!可怜的玛蒂尔德!可是我那一挂是假的,至多多值五百法郎!。"
"啊? 天哪!"
玛蒂尔德脸上的微笑一下子消失了,她瞪大眼睛,近乎尖叫地大声嚷道:
"什么?假的? 。上帝呀!上帝呀!"玛蒂尔德一瞬间扭曲了的脸变的苍白,只觉得天地旋转起来。
"啊!我的上帝!我可怜的玛蒂尔德,你怎么了?。上帝呀!快来人哪!。"
玛蒂尔德终于醒来了。她只觉的眼前一片模糊的白雾,散发着难闻的药味。隐隐的头疼让她清醒了许多,模糊的白雾散去,雪白的天花板渐渐地清晰起来,上面悬挂着不停地滴着液体的玻璃瓶。她疑惑地想抬起头,可仿佛自己的头像巨石般沉重。她不禁***了一声,喃喃自语着。
佛来思节夫人坐在病床旁的凳子上打盹,他梦见珍妮疯了,衣衫褴褛,蓬头垢面地追自己:"我的项链在哪儿啊? 在哪儿啊?——"。一时间心急如焚,却只觉得两腿发软,怎么也跑不前去。忽然一身冷汗地醒来,只见玛蒂尔德正竭力用手扶着床想起来,还一边自言自语地说:
"我怎么了? 这是在哪儿啊?在哪儿啊——?"
"啊!我可怜的玛蒂尔德,你终于醒了!我的上帝呀,你真吓死人了!"说着,佛来思节夫人抽泣着抹起泪来。
"亲爱的玛蒂尔德,这里是医院,你晕倒两天了,我们都被你吓坏了!我让你的路瓦栽先生去珠宝店退还项链了,那笔钱很快就会还给你!亲爱的,你不用再过苦难的日子了!唉——,真抱歉呀,亲爱的玛蒂尔德!为什么不早告诉我你丢项链的事呀?。"
玛蒂尔德又青又白的嘴角,慢慢地露了出无奈的苦笑。冰凉而粗糙的手缓缓地伸了过来,无力地握着佛来思节夫人的手,平静而安详地说:"谢谢你,亲爱的珍妮!这都是我的错,我不该让虚荣心毁了温馨的家和宝贵的青春。"
玛蒂尔德和她的朋友珍妮打起了招呼。珍妮告诉她那条项链的真相。她惊呆了,双手捂住了那张得大大的嘴,一对眼睛直直地看着珍妮,眼睛了充满了怨恨和悲哀。
路旁的那几棵大树禁不住寒风的凋零也纷纷扬扬地飘下了枯叶。玛蒂尔德依旧呆呆地站在那里。最后,她慢慢地摊开捂在嘴巴的手,看看这已长满老茧的手,她抱怨着:“为什么,为什么呢?珍妮你为什么不早点告诉我呢?要不,我也不会为了赔这条项链而落到今天这个地步项链的续写项链的续写。上帝,你为什么这么可恶,处处都抓弄我,害我嫁了这么一个没用的老公,又让我为了一条假的项链丢了一个美好的青春。我恨,我恨这个世界的不公。为什么要我做一个不能穿金戴银的穷人呢?项链啊!还是你的错,要不是你太漂亮,我就不会挑中你,那么我也就不会丢失了你……”
一片枯叶飘悠悠地落到了玛蒂尔德的手中,她舒了一口气。望着这片以枯黄的落叶,泪水禁不住流了下来,沾湿了她的脸庞。她把那片枯叶握在手中,把它收拢在了怀里,她反思着:“人生不就像这片枯叶吗?有茂盛的时候,也有老去的时候,但这并不是最重要的,重要的是自己奉献了多少。”玛蒂尔德止住了泪水,把握着枯叶的手伸进了脸庞,她用自己的脸紧紧地贴着手,闭上眼睛又陷入了沉思:“玛蒂尔德啊!玛蒂尔德,说到底,这全都怪你自己。要不是你的爱美,哪会向朋友借那条项链呢!要不是因为你的`爱炫耀,可能舞会那天就不会丢失了项链。要不是因为你当年的一句谎言,可能朋友就会告诉你那条项链是假的了。
哎——归根到底还是你的错啊……”
“玛蒂尔德,玛蒂尔德,你怎么了……”朋友推着她问。
“没什么。”
“要不,你的那条项链我还给你,我的丈夫还会给我买条新的,你看怎样?” “不,不用了,就算是老天对我的惩罚好了,再见!”玛蒂尔德漠漠地笑了一下,告别了珍妮,转过身走开了,开始她新的人生。
听到佛莱思节夫人的这些话,她怔了很久,不敢相信自己的耳朵。她的心开始翻腾,眼泪滚滚而下。 她跌跌撞撞地跑回那间破旧的阁楼,站在镜子前看着镜中的自己是那样苍老,一双通红的手和粗糙黝黑的皮肤,她虚弱的笑了一下,命运的差错让美丽的她失去了骄傲,虚荣的权利。但虚荣又像个卑鄙的盗贼一样,偷走了她十年的幸福;虚荣是条可怕的毒蛇,无声无息地就吞噬了她十年内应得的东西:美貌,财富,青春。现在她还有什麽?一无所有!
如果她没有去参加那个舞会,他、如果她没去借那条该死的项链,如果她曾经不是那么的爱慕虚荣,她后悔,可是如果只是如果。 可怜的玛蒂尔德突然觉得昏天旋地起来,一切时光好像倒流似的。冥冥中她又觉得自己回到了那个宴会,戴着真正的钻石项链,疯狂地旋转着。这时,一为女宾走来,"她一定是忌妒我的美貌,"她想。这个女宾走上前,说:"夫人觉得好些了么?"这时玛蒂尔德才知道自己身在医院的病床上。
十年的青春,千年的美貌,竟然葬送在一条项链上!玛蒂尔德真希望这是一场梦。 佛来思节夫人来看她了。她们达成了协议,马蒂尔德可以选择接受四万法郎,或者那条项链。另外,佛来思节夫人还会付给马蒂尔德六千法郎精神损失费。 她接受了后者。 她戴着项链回家去。路上她心想:"我总算拥有一条自己的项链了。"但是,当她丈夫知道她选择的不是钱,便破口大骂:"你这笨蛋!难道钻石项链能使你填饱肚子?你戴着它活一辈子吧!"说罢,带着六千法郎,摔门而去。 马蒂尔德彻底绝望了。但是,她宁可沿街乞讨也不愿卖掉项链,更不愿不择手段地生活下去,这是她一生的信念,她自信这一生并不欠别人什么。 圣诞节来临了,圣洁的雪花从天上飘落下来,大的有梅花那么大,满天飞舞,夹着烟霭和忙碌的气色,用厚厚的雪褥覆盖了整个巴黎城。人们有的唱歌跳舞,有的互赠礼物,在着欢乐的气氛中,全然没有人注意墙角坐着一位破衣烂衫的乞丐,颈上挂一条钻石项链。
“唉!我可怜的玛缔尔德!可是我的那一挂是假的,至多值五百法郎!……”
“玛缔尔德,玛缔尔德,你说话啊,你怎么了!……”
“哦,我的朋友,玛缔尔德,可怜的人啊!……”
此时的玛缔尔德仿佛别一块巨大的石头压倒了,压的她喘不过气,压的她变傻了……
又过了许久,玛缔尔德才说了一句话,慢慢地轻声说了句:“恩,过去了,都过去了……”她的眼睛茫然的望着远处,静静地走了,空旷的极乐公园里,玛缔尔德一个人默默的走着,朝着她家的方向,也许此时的她已不在乎了一切,真的,一切都过去了……
她回到家,她的丈夫关切的问到:“外面的人多吗?公园……”玛缔尔德似乎明白了什么:“恩,很好,再好不过了!”她没有把刚才的事情告诉她的丈夫,也许告诉了也没有任何意义,她做的也对。
就这样,一年又一年的过着平淡的生活,没有太多的负担,养育了一对儿女,也算是幸福的一家吧!
...... There was a silence of silence.
The awkward atmosphere pervaded the space.
The two women looked at it differently than they could see.
Finally, the boredom was broken.
"Oh dear mathilde, I'm sorry, I know it's useless to say anything right now. I don't know how to say I don't know how to express my feelings now... "
Is silence
"Really believe me." Mrs. Fogs was incoherent.
It was so long that mathilde's spirits wandered back to see her calmly saying:
"Maybe it's god's arrangement. I've already done this. What else do I expect?"
"No!" The lady of Buddha was excited. "listen to me, mathilde. I should give you this string of real necklaces."
"No thank you! I live a very peaceful life and I am more comfortable with my husband than I am. The dull life tells me how terrible my desires are and I know it too late."
And a little of mathilde continued:
"I got into my youth that money can't buy anything."
With that, mathilde walked away, leaving behind a man who stood in the park, murmuring to mathilde's retreating figure.
"Changed her; The world has not changed since she has changed. Ugly and beautiful; Mediocrity; Poor and rich: what are these?"
Suddenly she remembered that there was a book on her bookcase called the eastern religion, which said, "you can live happily because you have nothing to do.
"Perhaps she has reached this state," said Buddha.
The Buddha's wife was so touched that she seized her hands and said, "oh! My poor mathilde, but my one is false, at most five hundred francs! You, you give me a real diamond necklace, I can't imagine my stupid fake necklace to get you into this situation!
"What, a fake necklace? But how glorious is it?" Mathilde couldn't believe my ears, back a few steps, and hit the big pagoda tree behind, she didn't know what to do, she felt as if all of a sudden lost focus.
"My dear mathilde, I really don't know what I can do to pay back my necklace that killed you for ten years, I really don't know what to do, I... "Section to think lady face dull appearing a panic, said:" dear mathilde, I decided to return the necklace to you, I lost that hang the necklace only as a compensation for you, I know it is not enough, but, later, if you need help, you can give me as much as possible, I will try my best to help you."
For section lady took two steps forward, holding the mathilde those already not pink red and appear coarse red hands, said: "I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say, but I really feel very sorry, dear mathilde can come to my house this evening I will return the necklace to you."
"Well, by the way, I'm not going to sell the necklace. I'll treasure it." Mathilde answered her husband with a smile, and the warm light in the little room shone on the couple's face.
In this way, they are still hard labor, mathilde was like before doing those ten years ago she barely touched of live, road tile plant also still like before copying manuscripts, busy late into the night. The days passed, and in a year the couple earned enough to buy back the old house, and they bought it back.
They live into their already has 11 years in into no gorgeous but warm houses, mathilde's back is dressed up, she is not as luxurious house, fine clothes, and everything that she used to enjoy, she like her of what you have now: love her husband and the house of her former life, and it records the eternal life can't forget her 10 years memory diamond necklace.
“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。
