Les Miserables 维克多·雨果 1159Words 2018-03-21
Since we have mentioned the word "shy" and since we are not trying to hide anything, we should say that once, when he was infatuated, "his Yuxiuer" gave him a very serious pain.During these days, she often asked Mr. Bai to leave his seat and go for a walk on the path, and this happened during these days.That day, the mild wind in late spring and early summer was blowing vigorously, shaking the tops of the plane trees.Father and daughter, arm in arm, had just passed Marius's stool.Marius rose behind them, following them with his eyes, as one would do in a state of ecstasy.

Suddenly a gust of wind came, blowing very frivolously, perhaps with the mission of some spring god, flying from the nursery, landed on the path, wrapped the girl, and caused her to shiver, reminding people of Virgil's nymph. And the charming posture of the shepherdess of Theoclete, whose gown, holier than the shrine of Isis, was lifted by the wind almost to the height of the garter.A beautiful leg was exposed.Marius was furious when he saw this, and was furious. The girl hastily brushed off her dress with a gesture of celestial shame, but he didn't calm down because of it.He was alone on the trail, that's right.But there may also be others.What if someone else was there?This look is really outrageous!How could her behavior just now not make people angry!well!The poor boy had done nothing wrong, the only culprit here was the wind, but love and jealousy were burning in Marius' heart, and he was determined to be angry, jealous even of his own shadow.This bitter and queer jealousy indeed springs up in the human heart in this way, and compels one to endure it for no reason.Besides, even if this jealousy was removed, the attractive shape of that leg was nothing to him, and any woman's white stockings might be more interesting to him.

When "his Yuxiuer" turned back from the end of the path, Marius was already sitting on his bench. She followed Mr. Bai and walked in front of him. Marius stared at her with a pair of unreasonable eyes. He took a hard look.The girl straightened her body back slightly, and opened her eyelids at the same time, as if to say, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" This is their "first quarrel". Just as Marius was quarreling with her with his eyes, another person came along the path.He was a crippled soldier with a hunchback, a wrinkled face, and white hair. He wore a military uniform of the Louis XV period. It was the privates' St. Louis Cross, and he wore other decorations: an armless sleeve, a silver chin, and a wooden leg.Marius thought he had seen the man's air with the utmost satisfaction.He even fancied he had seen the mean-spirited wink at him very affectionately and happily as he limped past him, as if some chance had brought them together for a shared enjoyment. An unexpected smell.This God of War waste, what does he have to be so happy about?What happened between this wooden leg and that leg?Marius was jealous. "Perhaps he was here just now," he thought, "perhaps he saw it." He wished he could have wiped out the crippled soldier.

Time can sharpen the sharp edge of a weapon.Marius's anger, however just and legitimate it may have been, was finally extinguished against "Yuxiuer".He finally forgave, but he had to go through a lot of effort first, and he gambled three days in a row. However, after all this, and because of all this, the wild emotion became more intense, and it became a crazy emotion.
