第三十二章

I did not see Strickland for several weeks. I was disgusted with him, and if I had had an opportunity should have been glad to tell him so, but I saw no object in seeking him out for the purpose. I am a little shy of any assumption of moral indignation; there is always in it an element of self-satisfaction which makes it awkward to anyone who has a sense of humour. It requires a very lively passion to steel me to my own ridicule. There was a sardonic sincerity in Strickland which made me sensitive to anything that might suggest a pose.

我有好幾個星期沒有見到思特里克蘭德。我非常厭惡他，如果有機(jī)會的話，我會當(dāng)著面把我對他的看法告訴他，但是我也犯不上為了這件事特地到處去找他。我不太愿意擺出一副義憤填膺的架勢來，這里面總有某種自鳴得意的成分，會叫一個有幽默感的人覺得你在裝腔作勢。除非我真的動起火來，我是不肯讓別人拿自己當(dāng)笑話看的。思特里克蘭德慣會諷刺挖苦、不講情面，在他面前我就更要小心戒備，絕不能讓他覺得我是在故作姿態(tài)。

But one evening when I was passing along the Avenue de Clichy in front of the cafe which Strickland frequented and which I now avoided, I ran straight into him. He was accompanied by Blanche Stroeve, and they were just going to Strickland's favourite corner.

但是一天晚上，正當(dāng)我經(jīng)過克利舍路一家咖啡館門前的時候（我知道這是思特里克蘭德經(jīng)常來的一家咖啡館，最近一段時間我總是盡量躲著這個地方），我卻和思特里克蘭德撞了個滿懷。勃朗什·施特略夫同他在一起，兩人正在走向思特里克蘭德最喜歡坐的一個角落去。

Where the devil have you been all this time? said he. "I thought you must be away."

“你這么多天跑到哪兒去了？”他問我說，“我還以為你到外地去了呢?！?/p>

His cordiality was proof that he knew I had no wish to speak to him. He was not a man with whom it was worth while wasting politeness.

他對我這樣殷勤正表示他知道得很清楚，我不愿意理他。但是你對思特里克蘭德這種人根本不需要講客套。

No, I said; "I haven't been away."

“沒有，”我直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣f，“我沒有到外地去?！?/p>

Why haven't you been here?

“為什么老沒到這兒來了？”

There are more cafes in Paris than one, at which to trifle away an idle hour.

“巴黎的咖啡館不是只此一家，在哪兒不能消磨時間?。俊?/p>

Blanche then held out her hand and bade me good-evening. I do not know why I had expected her to be somehow changed;
