Also that afternoon Madame Defarge was talking with her friends.
也就在那天下午，得法熱夫人正在和她的朋友談話。
'My husband is a good citizen, but he is not strong enough. He feels sorry for the Doctor. I say that all the Evrémonde people must go to the Guillotine. The wife and the child must follow the husband. '
“我的丈夫是個(gè)好公民，可他不夠堅(jiān)定。他可憐醫(yī)生。我說要讓埃弗蒙家的所有人都上斷頭臺(tái)，妻子和孩子都得跟那個(gè)丈夫一起去。”
'They're both fine heads for the Guillotine, 'said Jacques Three. 'Their heads will be a pretty sight when they are shown to the people. Yes, they too, must die. '
“她們倆的頭可是斷頭臺(tái)上的好貨色，”雅克三說。“把她們的頭展示給人民將會(huì)是一個(gè)漂亮的景觀。是的，她們也都得死。”
'But I'm afraid that my husband may warn them and let them escape, 'Madame Defarge went on, 'and I must do something myself. After the death of Evrémonde at three this afternoon we'll go to the Tribunal and accuse them. '
“可我擔(dān)心我丈夫會(huì)報(bào)警給她們讓她們跑掉。”得法熱夫人說，“所以我必須親自做點(diǎn)什么。在今天下午3點(diǎn)鐘埃弗蒙死后，我要去審判團(tuán)指控她們。”
The others agreed willingly. 'No one must escape. More heads must fall. '
其他人都欣然同意。“不許有任何人跑掉；必須有更多的人頭落地。”
'Lucie Manette will be at home now, waiting for the moment of her husband's death, 'said Madame Defarge. ' I will go to her. She will say things against the Revolution, and condemn herself. Here, take my knitting and keep my usual seat near the Guillotine. '
“路茜·馬內(nèi)特現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該正在家里等著她丈夫死的那一刻。”得法熱夫人說。“我要去找她，她會(huì)說一些反對(duì)革命的話，因而招來罪名。好了，拿著我的毛線活兒，把斷頭臺(tái)旁邊我一向待的位子留著。”
'Don't be late, 'said her friend.
“別晚了。”她的朋友說。
'To see the death of Evrémonde, I shall not be late, 'replid the cruel voice of Madame Defarge.
“去看埃弗蒙的死，我不會(huì)晚的。”得法熱夫人用冷酷的聲音回答道。
背景簡介:
但他還掙扎著向醫(yī)生說出他被迫害的經(jīng)過：他的一家都是厄弗里蒙特侯爵兄弟的佃戶，長期以來，這些貴族對(duì)農(nóng)民的貞操和品德有任意破壞和蹂躪的權(quán)利。厄弗里蒙特的弟弟（即代爾那叔父）為了霸占少年的姐姐（即醫(yī)生看到的那位昏迷的女人），逼死了她的新婚的丈夫。少年氣憤不過進(jìn)行復(fù)仇，卻被侯爵弟弟刺成重傷……這位少年受傷者把事情的經(jīng)過說完后，便斷氣了。過了一星期，那位少年的姐姐也死了。
