"You must mean," the officer corrected with a friendly smile, "that you are the mother of Mister Aureliano Buendía."“您想说的是,大娘,”军官和蔼地一笑,纠正她的说法。“您是奥雷连诺先生的母亲吧。”
úrsula recognized in his affected way of speaking the languid cadence of the stuck-up people from the highlands.在他文雅的话里,乌苏娜听出了山地人——卡恰柯人慢吞吞的调子。
"As you say, mister," she accepted, "just as long as I can see him."“就算是‘先生’吧,”她说,“只要我能见到他。”
There were superior orders that prohibited visits to prisoners condemned to death, but the officer assumed the responsibility of letting her have a fifteen-minute stay. úrsula showed him what she had in the bundle: a change of clean clothing, the short boots that her son had worn at his wedding, and the sweet milk candy that she had kept for him since the day she had sensed his return. She found Colonel Aureliano Buendía in the room that was used as a cell, lying on a cot with his arms spread out because his armpits were paved with sores. They had allowed him to shave. The thick mustache with twisted ends accentuated the sharp angles of his cheekbones. He looked paler to úrsula than when he had left, a little taller, and more solitary than ever. He knew all about the details of the house: Pietro Crespi's suicide, Arcadio's arbitrary acts and execution. the dauntlessness of José Arcadio Buendía underneath the chestnut tree. He knew that Amaranta had consecrated her virginal widowhood to the rearing of Aureliano José and that the latter was beginning to show signs of quite good judgment and that he had learned to read and write at the same time he had learned to speak. From the moment In which she entered the room úrsula felt inhibited by the maturity of her son, by his aura of command, by the glow of authority that radiated from his skin. She was surprised that he was so well-informed. "You knew all along that I was a wizard," he joked. And he added in a serious tone, "This morning, when they brought me here, I had the impression that I had already been through all that before."根据上面的命令,探望死刑犯人是禁止的,但是军官自愿承担责任,允许乌苏娜十五分钟的会见。乌苏娜给他看了看她带来的一包东西:一套干净衣服,儿子结婚时穿过的一双皮鞋,她感到他要回来的那一天为他准备的奶油蜜饯。她在经常当作囚室的房间里发现了奥雷连诺上校。他伸开双手躺在那儿,因为他的腋下长了脓疮。他们已经让他刮了脸。浓密、燃卷的胡子使得颧骨更加突出。乌苏娜觉得,他比以前苍白,个子稍高了一些,但是显得更孤僻了。他知道家中发生的一切事情:知道皮埃特罗·克列斯比自杀;知道阿卡蒂奥专横暴戾,遭到处决;知道霍·阿·布恩蒂亚在粟树下的怪状,他也知道阿玛兰塔把她寡妇似的青春年华用来抚养奥雷连诺。 霍塞; 知道奥雷连诺·霍塞表现了非凡的智慧,刚开始说话就学会了读书写字。从跨进房间的片刻起,乌苏娜就感到拘束——儿子已经长大成人了,他那整个魁梧的身躯都显出极大的威力。她觉得奇怪的是,他对一切都很熟悉。“您知道:您的儿子是个有预见的人嘛,”他打趣地说。接着严肃地补充一句:“今天早上他们把我押来的时候,我仿佛早就知道这一切了。”
In fact, while the crowd was roaring alongside him, he had been concentrating his thoughts, startled at how the town had aged. The leaves of the almond trees were broken. The houses, painted blue, then painted red, had ended up with an indefinable coloration.实际上,人群正在周围怒吼的时候,他是思绪万千的,看见这个市镇总共一年就已衰老,他就觉得惊异。杏树上的叶子凋落了。刷成蓝色的房屋,时而改成红色,时而又改成蓝色,最后变成了混沌不清的颜色。
"What did you expect?" úrsula sighed. "Time passes."“你有啥希望吗?”她叹了口气。“时间就要到了。”
"That's how it goes," Aureliano admitted, "but not so much."“当然,”奥雷连诺回答。“不过……”
In that way the long-awaited visit, for which both had prepared questions and had even anticipated answers, was once more the usual everyday conversation. When the guard announced the end of the visit, Aureliano took out a roll of sweaty papers from under the cot. They were his poetry, the poems inspired by Remedios, which he had taken with him when he left, and those he had written later on during chance pauses in the war. "Promise me that no one will read them," he said. "Light the oven with them this very night." úrsula promised and stood up to kiss him goodbye.这次会见是两人都等了很久的;两人都准备了问题,甚至思量过可能得到的回答,但谈来谈去还是谈些家常。卫兵宣布十五分钟已过的时候,奥雷连诺从行军床的垫子下面取出一卷汗渍的纸页。这是他写的诗。其中一些诗是他献给雷麦黛丝的,离家时带走了;另一些诗是他后来在短暂的战斗间隙中写成的。“答应我吧,别让任何人看见它们,”他说。“今儿晚上就拿它们生炉子。”乌苏娜答应之后就站起身来,吻别儿子。
"I brought you a revolver," she murmured.“我给你带来了一支手枪,”她低声说。
