"Five pesos more from each one," José Arcadio proposed, "and I'll share myself with both.“每人多给五个比索,”霍·阿卡蒂奥向两个幸运的女人说。“我就让自己在你们之间平分。”
He made his living that way. He had been around the world sixty-five times, enlisted in a crew of sailors without a country. The women who went to bed with him that night in Catarino's store brought him naked into the dance salon so that people could see that there was not a square inch of his body that was not tattooed, front and back, and from his neck to his toes.他就是以此为生的。他充当一名水手,跟其他同样离乡背井的人一起作过六十五次环球航行。那天夜晚在卡塔林诺游艺场里跟他睡觉的女人,把他赤身露体地带到舞厅里给大家参观,他的身体——从面孔到脊背、从脖子到脚后跟——每一平方英寸都刺了花纹。
He did not succeed in becoming incorporated into the family. He slept all day and spent the night in the red-light district, making bets on his strength. On the rare occasions when úrsula got him to sit down at the table, he gave signs of radiant good humor, especially when he told about his adventures in remote countries. He had been shipwrecked and spent two weeks adrift in the Sea of Japan, feeding on the body of a comrade who had succumbed to sunstroke and whose extremely salty flesh as it cooked in the sun had a sweet and granular taste. Under a bright noonday sun in the Gulf of Bengal his ship had killed a sea dragon, in the stomach of which they found the helmet, the buckles, and the weapons of a Crusader. In the Caribbean he had seen the ghost of the pirate ship of Victor Hugues, with its sails torn by the winds of death, the masts chewed by sea worms, and still looking for the course to Guadeloupe. úrsula would weep at the table as if she were reading the letters that had never arrived and in whichJosé Arcadio told about his deeds and misadventures. "And there was so much of a home here for you, my son," she would sob, "and so much food thrown to the hogs!" But underneath it an she could not conceive that the boy the gypsies took away was the same lout who would eat half a suckling pig for lunch and whose flatulence withered the flowers. Something similar took place with the rest of the family. Amaranta could not conceal the repugnance that she felt at the table because of his bestial belching. Arcadio, who never knew the secret of their relationship, scarcely answered the questions that he asked with the obvious idea of gaining his affection. Aureliano tried to relive the times when they slept in the same room, tried to revive the complicity of childhood, but José Arcadio had forgotten about it, because life at sea had saturated his memory with too many things to remember. Only Rebeca succumbed to the first impact. The day that she saw him pass by her bedroom she thought that Pietro Crespi was a sugary dandy next to that protomale whose volcanic breathing could be heard all over the house. She tried to get near him under any pretext. On a certain occasion José Arcadio looked at her body with shameless attention and said to her "You're a woman, little sister." Rebeca lost control of herself. She went back to eating earth and the whitewash on the walls with the avidity of previous days, and she sucked her finger with so much anxiety that she developed a callus on her thumb. She vomited up a green liquid with dead leeches in it. She spent nights awake shaking with fever, fighting against delirium, waiting until the house shook with the return of José Arcadio at dawn. One afternoon, when everyone was having a siesta, she could no longer resist and went to his bedroom. She found him in his shorts, lying in the hammock that he had hung from the beams with a ship's hawser. She was so impressed by his enormous motley nakedness that she felt an impulse to retreat. "Excuse me," she said, "I didn't know you werehere." But she lowered her voice so as not to wake anyone up. "Come here," he said. Rebeca obeyed. She stopped beside the hammock in an icy sweat, feeling knots forming in her intestines, while José Arcadio stroked her ankles with the tips of his fingers, then her calves, then her thighs, murmuring: "Oh, little sister, little sister." She had to make a supernatural effort not to die when a startlingly regulated cyclonic power lifted her up by the waist and despoiled her of her intimacy with three clashes of its claws and quartered her like a little bird. She managed to thank God for having been born before she lost herself in the inconceivable pleasure of that unbearable pain, splashing in the steaming marsh of the hammock which absorbed the explosion of blood like a blotter.霍·阿卡蒂奥几乎不跟家里的人来往,他白天睡觉,夜晚都在妓馆区度过,在少有的情况下,母亲让他坐在家中的桌子旁边时,他才引起了大家的注意,尤其是他谈起自己在遥远地区的那些冒险经历。他遇到过船舶失事,乘着舢板在日本海上漂泊了两个星期,拿中暑死去的同伴的尸体充饥——人肉好好地用盐腌透、晒干,比较粗硬,有点儿甜味。在一个晴朗的晌午,轮船在孟加拉湾航行时,船员们杀死了一条海龙,在它的肚子里,他们发现了十字军骑士的钢盔、钮扣和武器。在加勒比海,他瞧见了维克多·雨果(注:维克多·雨果,法国议会的瓜德罗普岛代表,曾同英国人进行过海盗式的战争。古巴作家阿列科·卡尔宾蒂耶的长篇小说《启蒙时代》就是描写他的。)海盗船的怪影:船帆被致命的飓风撕成了碎片,横桁和桅杆都被海蟑螂咬坏了,轮船仍然驶往瓜德罗普,但却永远迷失了航向。乌苏娜在桌边马上哭了起来,仿佛读了望眼欲穿的信似的,在这些信里,霍·阿卡蒂奥谈到了自己浪迹天涯的冒险遭遇。“咱们这儿有这么大的房子嘛,儿子,”她叹息地说。“而且咱们还把那么多的东西扔给猪吃!”但她怎么也不明白,吉卜赛人带走的这个孩子,已经成了一个野人,一次能吃半只猪崽,猛然呼出一口气就能使花儿枯萎。家里其他的人是有这种感觉的。对于他吃东西时打响嗝的习惯,阿玛兰塔无法掩饰自己的厌恶。阿卡蒂奥从来都不知道自己的出身秘密,对霍·阿卡蒂奥所提的问题只是勉强张张嘴巴,霍·阿卡蒂奥显然力图取得这青年的好感。奥雷连诺打算让哥哥忆起他俩同住一室的那些时光,恢复童年时代的亲密关系,可是霍·阿卡蒂奥把一切都忘到了九霄云外,——海洋生活中的许多事情已经占据了他的脑海。只有雷贝卡一人第一个眼就被击中了。那天晚上,霍·阿卡蒂奥经过她的卧室门前时,她觉得,皮埃特罗·克列斯比跟这个壮汉相比,不过是穿着漂亮的文弱书生;这个壮汉火山爆发似的声音,整座宅子都能听到。她打算利用各种借口跟他相见。有一次,霍·阿卡蒂奥不知羞耻地注意打量她的身姿,说道:“你完全成了个娘儿啦,小妹妹。”雷贝卡失去了自制,又象往日一样,开始贪馋地大吃泥土和墙上的石灰,而且拼命咂吮指头,以致指头上出现了茧子。有一回,她呕吐出了绿色的液体和死了的水蛭。夜里,她不睡觉,哆哆嗦嗦,仿佛患了热病,狂烈挣扎,一直等到天亮时房子震动,霍·阿卡蒂奥来到。有一次午睡的时候,雷贝卡再也按捺不住,就走进了霍·阿卡蒂奥的卧室。她发现他只穿着裤衩躺在一个吊床上,这吊床是用粗大的船索悬在梁上的。他那粗壮、裸露的躯体把她吓了一跳,她想后退。“对不起,”她抱歉地说。“我不知道你在这儿。”可她说得声音很低,不想吵醒别人。“到这儿来吧,”他说。她听从地站在吊床跟前,浑身直冒冷汗,觉得自己五脏六腑都缩紧了,而霍·阿卡蒂奥却用指尖抚摸她的脚踝,然后又抚摸她的小腿,最后又抚摸她的大腿,低声说:“唉,小妹妹,唉,小妹妹。”接着,一种异常准确的、飓风似的强大力量把她拦腰抱起,三两下脱掉了她的衣服,就将她象小鸟儿一样压扁了;这时她作了非凡的努力,才没有一命呜呼。她刚刚感谢上帝让她生在人世,就由于难以忍受的疼痛加上不可思议的快感而失去知觉,同则在吊床上热气腾腾的泥淖里挣扎,这片泥淖犹如吸墨纸吸去了她体内排出的精髓。
