Oliver Twist (excerpt)
Oliver's early life
Oliver Twist was brn in a wrkhuse,and when he arrived in this hard wrld,it was very dubtful whether he wuld live beynd the first three minutes.He lay n a hard little bed and struggled t start breathing.
Oliver fught his first battle withut much assistance frm the tw peple present at his birth.One was an ld wman,wh was nearly always drunk,and the ther was a busy lcal dctr,wh was nt paid enugh t be very interested in Oliver's survival.After all,death was a cmmn event in the wrkhuse,where nly the pr and hmeless lived.
Hwever,Oliver managed t draw his first breath,and then annunced his arrival t the rest f the wrkhuse by crying ludly.His mther raised her pale yung face frm the pillw and whispered,“Let me see the child,and die.”
The dctr turned away frm the fire,where he had been warming his hands.“Yu must nt talk abut dying yet,” he said t her kindly.He gave her the child t hld.Lvingly,she kissed the baby n its frehead with her cld white lips,then stared wildly arund the rm,fell back—and died.“Pr dear!” said the nurse,hurriedly putting a green glass bttle back in the pcket f her lng skirt.
The dctr began t put n his cat.“The baby is weak and will prbably have difficulties,” he said.“If s,give it a little milk t keep it quiet.” Then he lked at the dead wman.“The mther was a gdlking girl.Where did she cme frm?”
“She was brught here last night,” replied the ld wman.“She was fund lying in the street.She'd walked sme distance,judging by her shes,which were wrn t pieces.Where she came frm,where she was ging t,r what her name was,nbdy knws.”
The dctr lifted the girl's left hand.“The ld stry,” he said sadly,shaking his head.“N wedding ring,I see.Ah! Gd night.”
And s Oliver was left with nly the drunken nurse.Withut clthes,under his first blanket,he culd have been the child f a king r a beggar.But when the wman dressed him later in rugh cttn clthes,yellw with age,he lked exactly what he was—an rphan in a wrkhuse,ready fr a life f misery,hunger,and neglect.
Oliver cried ludly.If he culd have knwn that he was a wrkhuse rphan,perhaps he wuld have cried even mre ludly.
There was n ne t lk after the baby in the wrkhuse,s Oliver was sent t a special “baby farm” nearby.There,he and thirty ther children rlled arund the flr all day,withut the incnvenience f t much fd r t much clthing.Mrs Mann,the ld wman wh “lked after” them,was very experienced.She knew what was gd fr children,and a full stmach was very dangerus t their health.She als knew what was gd fr herself,s she kept fr her wn use the mney that she was given fr the children's fd.The bard respnsible fr the rphans smetimes checked n the health f the children,but they always sent the beadle,a kind f lcal pliceman,t annunce their visit the day befre.S whenever the bard arrived,f curse,the children were always neat and clean.
This was the way Oliver was brught up.Cnsequently,at the age f nine he was a pale,thin child and shrt fr his age.But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann,his spirit was strng,which was prbably the reasn why he managed t reach the age f nine at all.
On Oliver's ninth birthday,Mr Bumble the beadle came t the huse t see Mrs Mann.Thrugh the frnt windw Mrs Mann saw him at the gate,and turned quickly t the girl wh wrked with her.
“Quick! Take Oliver and thse thers upstairs t be washed!” she said.Then she ran ut t unlck the gate.(It was always kept lcked t prevent fficial visitrs walking in unexpectedly.)
“I have business t talk abut,” Mr Bumble tld Mrs Mann as he entered the huse.He was a big fat man,ften badtempered,and was full f selfimprtance.He did nt like t be kept waiting at a lcked gate.
Mrs Mann tk his hat and cat,placed a chair fr him,and expressed great cncern fr his cmfrt.“Yu've had a lng walk,Mr Bumble” she said,“and yu must be thirsty.”She tk ut a bttle frm the cupbard.
“N,thank yu,Mrs Mann.Nt a drp.” He waved the bttle away.
“Just a little drp,Mr Bumble,with cld water,” said Mrs Mann persuasively.
Mr Bumble cughed.“What is it?” he asked,lking at the bttle with interest.
“Gin.I keep it fr the children's medicine drink.”
“Yu give the children gin,Mrs Mann?” asked Mr Bumble,watching as she mixed his drink.
“Only with medicine,sir.I dn't like t see them suffer.”
“Yu're a gd wman,Mrs Mann.” Mr Bumble drank half his glass immediately.“I'll tell the bard abut yu.Nw,the reasn why I'm here.Oliver Twist is nine years ld tday.We've never been able t discver anything abut his parents.”
“Then hw did he get his name?”
“I gave it t him,” said Mr Bumble prudly.“We fllw the alphabet.The last ne was an S—Swubble.Then it was T,s this ne is Twist.The next ne will be Unwin.Anyway,Oliver Twist is nw ld enugh t return t the wrkhuse.Bring him here,please.” While Mrs Mann went t get him,Mr Bumble finished the rest f his gin.
Oliver,his face and hands nw almst clean,was led int the rm.
“Will yu cme alng with me,Oliver?” asked Mr Bumble in a lud vice.
Oliver was very glad t be free f Mrs Mann's vilence,but he said nthing because she was angrily shaking her finger at him.Hwever,as the gate clsed behind Oliver,he burst int tears.He was leaving behind the ther children,the nly friends he had,and he realized at that mment hw lnely he was in the wrld.
Mr Bumble walked n with lng steps,with Oliver n his shrt little legs running beside him.The feeling f cntentment prduced by ginandwater had nw disappeared,and the beadle was in a bad md nce mre.
雾都孤儿(节选)
奥利弗的童年
奥利弗·特威斯特出生在一家济贫院里,他来到这个艰难的人世的那一刻,是否能活过三分钟都是很难说的。他躺在一张小硬板床上,挣扎着开始呼吸。
他出生时在场的两个人没有给他什么帮助,这使得奥利弗要独自承担他的第一场战斗。其中一个是位老妇人,她几乎总是喝得醉醺醺的;另一个则是当地一位忙碌的医生,这位医生没有得到足够的报酬,所以对奥利弗能否活下来并不很在意。在济贫院这个只有穷人和无家可归的人待的地方,死亡是一件非常平常的事。
不管怎样,奥利弗总算尽力吸进了第一口气,然后,他以响亮的哭声向济贫院里其他的人宣告自己的到来。他的母亲从枕头上抬起了年轻而苍白的脸,用微弱的声音说:“让我看一眼孩子,我就可以死了。”
正在火炉上烤手取暖的医生转过身来,好心地对她说:“别说什么死不死的了。”他把孩子递过去让她抱在怀里。她用冰冷而毫无血色的嘴唇怜爱地在孩子的额头上亲了一下,然后急切地在屋里四处环顾一圈,便向后倒去,咽了气。“可怜的东西!”老看护说着,急忙将一个绿色的小玻璃瓶揣回长裙子的兜里。
这时医生开始穿外衣。“这孩子太虚弱,恐怕会有麻烦,”他说,“如果真是这样,给他喂点牛奶,好让他别哭。”然后,他又转过脸看了一眼死去的女人,说:“这母亲长得还挺漂亮。她是从哪儿来的?”
“她是昨天夜里被送到这儿来的,”老妇人回答道。“她倒在马路上,被人发现了。她脚上那双鞋子已经磨得破破烂烂的了,由此可以看出她是从很远的地方来的。她从哪儿来,要到哪儿去,叫什么名字,没人知道。”
医生拉起那年轻女人的左手,摇摇头,伤心地说:“又是老一套。没有结婚戒指,果然如此。唉!晚安。”
奥利弗就这样被留下了,由那位醉醺醺的看护一个人看着。他光着身子,裹在毕生第一块毯子里,既可以是国王的儿子,也可以是乞丐的儿子。可后来老妇人给他穿上了由于年头太久而发了黄的粗棉布衣服,这时,他看上去和他的身份完全一致了——一个济贫院的孤儿,准备好了去过一种充满苦难、饥饿和被忽视的生活。
奥利弗大声哭着。假如他已经知道自己是一个济贫院的孤儿,他可能会哭得更大声些。
在济贫院里没有专人照顾婴儿,所以奥利弗被送进了附近一家专门的“育婴堂”。在这里,奥利弗与其他三十多个孩子每天在地上滚爬着,没有过多的衣物和食物来麻烦他们。曼太太“照顾”着这些孩子,这老女人非常有经验。她知道什么对孩子们有好处,知道吃饱肚子对孩子们的身体是非常有害的。同时她也知道什么对她自己有好处,于是她把人家给孩子们的伙食费都留给自己。负责孤儿事务的地方董事会有时会来检查孩子们的健康状况,可他们往往在前一天派执事去通知他们要来访问,执事是一种地方警察。所以,无论他们什么时候来,孩子们准是个个头净脚净的。
奥利弗就是这样长大的,因此,他到了九岁时,还非常苍白瘦小,比同龄孩子矮一大截。尽管常常遭到曼太太的毒打,他的意志却很坚强。这大概也是他竟然能活到九岁的缘故吧。
奥利弗九岁生日的这天,执事班布尔先生来育婴堂看曼太太。曼太太透过楼前的窗户看见他站在大门口,慌忙转向和她一起干活的女孩,说道:
“赶快!把奥利弗和其他孩子都带到楼上洗洗!”她说。然后她匆忙跑去开大门。(为了防止官方人员料想不到的来访,这大门常常是锁着的。)
“我有点事要跟你谈,”班布尔先生跟曼太太说着,走进了屋子。他是个身材肥胖、脾气暴躁、狂妄自大的人。他可不喜欢被关在门外长时间地等候。
曼太太接过了他的帽子和外衣,替他搬来一把椅子,并且对他是否舒适表示了极大的关心。“班布尔先生,您大老远地走来,一定是渴了。”她说着从橱子里拿出了一个瓶子。
“不,谢谢,曼太太,我一滴都不喝。”他挥手推开瓶子。
“只稍稍来一点儿,班布尔先生,这是加了冰水的,”她极力地劝说着。
班布尔先生咳嗽了一声。“是什么?”他问道,并饶有兴趣地看着瓶子。
“杜松子酒,我这是留着给孩子们吃药用的。”
“曼太太,你给孩子们喝杜松子酒?”班布尔先生看着她给自己兑酒,问道。
“只是吃药的时候给他们喝上一点儿,先生。我不忍心看着他们受罪。”
“曼太太,你真是个好心的女人。”班布尔先生马上喝下了半杯。“我会在董事会那里替你美言的。现在言归正传,说说我今天来这儿的目的。奥利弗·特威斯特今天已经整整九岁了,迄今为止,我们没有打听到关于他父母的任何消息。”
“那么,他是怎么有了这个姓的?”
“这姓是我给他起的,”班布尔先生自豪地说,“我们是按照字母表的顺序给他们安排姓氏的,前一个是S,叫斯瓦勃(Swubble),轮到他是字母T,所以就叫特威斯特(Twist),下一个叫恩温(Unwin)。不管怎么说,奥利弗已经长大了,该回到济贫院去了。请把他带到这儿来。”曼太太去带奥利弗时,班布尔先生喝干了杯子里剩下的杜松子酒。
奥利弗手和脸差不多洗干净了,他被带了进来。
“你愿意跟我走吗,奥利弗?”班布尔先生大声问。
奥利弗特别渴望能尽早逃脱曼太太的暴虐统治,可他却没吭声,因为这时她正恶狠狠地向他暗暗摇着手指头。可是当大门在奥利弗身后关上时,他突然涕泪横流。他就要离开其他的孩子们了,而这些孩子是他仅有的朋友,此刻,他顿时感到自己在这个世界上是多么孤独。
班布尔先生在前面大步流星地走着,奥利弗挪动短腿一路小跑地跟在旁边。喝了加水的杜松子酒所产生的心满意足的感觉这会儿已荡然无存,这位执事的情绪又不好了。
