Chapter 28 Seen from the outside,Monte Cristo's house in Auteuil had nothing splendid about it,nothing of what one might expect of a residence chosen by the magnificent Count of Monte Cristo. At exactly six o'clock Captain Maximilien Morrel arrived on his horse. “I'm sure I'm the first to arrive,”said Maximilien.“I wanted to be able to talk to you alone for a while before the others came." At that very moment,however,two riders on winded horses and a carriage drawn by a sweating team drew up in front of the house. Lucien Debray quickly dismounted,went to the door of the carriage, opened it and gave his hand to Madame Danglars as she alighted. Baron Danglars alighted after his wife,looking as pale as if he were coming from the grave instead of from his carriage. “Major③Bartolomeo Cavalcanti and Viscount Andrea Cavalcanti!” announced Baptistin. “Cavalcanti!”said Debray. “That's a fine name,”said Maximilien. ·146· 第二十八章 从外面看，基督山伯爵在阿都尔那所房子并不 ①splendid'splendid/a. 见有什么富丽堂皇之处，任何人都想不到这会是那 华丽的 ②magnificent 位高贵的基督山伯爵的住所。 meg'nifisont/a高尚 的，高贵的 刚好六点整，玛西米兰·摩莱尔上尉骑着马到 了。 “我肯定是第一个到的，”玛西米兰说，“我想 在其他人来之前能和你单独谈谈。” 然而，正在这时，几匹汗流浃背的马拖着一辆 ③winded/windid/a气 喘吁吁的 马车，和两位喘着粗气的骑马人也到了房子前面。 狄布雷飞快地下了马，走到马车车门前面，打开 dismount /dis'maunt/v. 下马 门，并在邓格拉斯夫人下车时伸手扶着她。 邓格拉斯男爵在他妻子之后下了车，他的脸色 极其苍白，好像他是从坟墓而不是从马车中出来 ⑤major'merd3a/n陆军 的。 少校 6 viscount /raikaunt/n. “巴陀罗米奥·卡凡尔康德少校和安德里卡凡尔 爵 康德子爵到！”培浦斯汀通报道。 “卡凡尔康德！”狄布雷说。 “好响亮的名字。”玛西米兰说。 ·147· The Count Of Monte Cristo "Who are those two gentlemen?"said Danglars to Monte Cristo. “Major Cavalcanti and his son.” “That tells me their name,but nothing else,” "Oh,yes,it's true you're not acquainted with the Italian nobility. The Cavalcanti are a race of princes." “A large fortune?”asked the banker.. “Enormous③.” “What do they do?” "They try unsuccessfully to spend their whole fortune.They have a credit open with you,by the way,or at least so they told me when they came to see me day before yesterday.In fact,I invited them especially on your account.I'll introduce you to them." “It seems to me they speak excellent④French.” "The son was educated in France.You'll find him full of enthusiasm for French women,he has his heart set on finding a wife in Paris." “Now that's a fine idea！”said Danglars sarcastically "Monsieur and Madame de Villefort!announced Baptistin.

"Just a moment,Monsieur Bertuccio,don't be in such a hurry to leave:you're overlooking one of my guests.Look a little to the left there,that's Monsieur Andrea Cavalcanti."
