Father Nicanor revealed in his Sunday sermon that José Arcadio and Rebeca were not brother and sister. úrsula never forgave what she considered an inconceivable lack of respect and when they came back from church she forbade the newlyweds to set foot in the house again. For her it was as if they were dead. So they rented a house across from the cemetery and established themselves there with no other furniture but José Arcadio's hammock. On their wedding night a scorpion that had got into her slipper bit Rebeca on the foot. Her tongue went to sleep, but that did not stop them from spending a scandalous honeymoon. The neighbors were startled by the cries that woke up the whole district as many as eight times in a single night and three times during siesta, and they prayed that such wild passion would not disturb the peace of the dead.尽管尼康诺神父在礼拜日布道时当众宣布,霍·阿卡蒂奥和雷贝卡并不是兄妹,但是乌苏娜根本就不原谅他俩的婚姻。她认为这种对她不尊重的婚姻是不能容忍的,所以就在那一天,在新婚夫妇从教堂回来的时候,她就禁止他俩跨进她家的门坎。在她看来,他俩等于死了。于是,新婚夫妇在墓地对面租了间小房子,住在那儿,除了霍·阿卡蒂奥的吊床,没有其他任何家具。在新婚之夜,藏在新娘鞋子里的蝎子把她的一只脚给螫了,雷贝卡说不出话来,但这并没有妨碍夫妇俩丑恶地度蜜月。邻居们对他俩的叫声十分惊愕,这种叫声一夜吵醒整个街区八次,午睡时吵醒邻居三次,大家都祈求这种放荡的情欲不要破坏死人的安宁。
Aureliano was the only one who was concerned about them. He bought them some furniture and gave them some money until José Arcadio recovered his sense of reality and began to work the noman's-land that bor-dered the courtyard of the house. Amaranta, on the other hand, never did overcome her rancor against Rebeca, even though life offered her a satisfaction of which she had not dreamed: at the initiative of úrsula, who did not know how to repair the shame, Pietro Crespi continued having lunch at the house on Tuesdays, rising above his defeat with a serene dignity. He still wore the black ribbon on his hat as a sign of respect for the family, and he took pleasure in showing his affection for úrsula by bringing her exotic gifts: Portuguese sardines, Turkish rose marmalade, and on one occasion a lovely Manila shawl. Amaranta looked after him with a loving diligence. She anticipated his wants, pulled out the threads on the cuffs of his shirt, and embroidered a dozen handkerchiefs with his initials for his birthday. On Tuesdays, after lunch, while she would embroider on the porch, he would keep her happy company. For Pietro Crespi, that woman whom he always had considered and treated as a child was a revelation. Although her temperament lacked grace, she had a rare sensibility for appreciating the things of the world and had a secret tenderness. One Tuesday, when no one doubted that sooner or later it had to happen, Pietro Crespi asked her to marry him. She did not stop her work. She waited for the hot blush to leave her ears and gave her voice a serene stress of maturity.只有奥雷连诺关心年轻的夫妇。他给他俩买了一点家具,给了他们一点儿钱,直到霍·阿卡蒂奥恢复了现实感,开始耕耘同他的房子毗连的一块荒地。至于阿玛兰塔,她始终克制不了对雷贝卡的仇恨,虽然生活给了她梦想不到的快乐。乌苏娜不知如何洗刷家里的耻辱,可是按照她的愿望,皮埃特罗·克列斯比每星期二继续在他们家里吃午饭,宽宏大量地忍受了自已的不幸。为了表示对这个家庭的尊重,他仍在帽子上戴着黑带子,高兴地赠送乌苏娜一些外国礼品,如葡萄牙沙丁鱼或者土耳其玫瑰果酱,借以表示自己对她的忠诚;有一次,他甚至赠给她一张漂亮的马尼拉披巾。阿玛兰塔对他既殷勤又温存。她猜到了他的意思,抢先剪掉了他的衬衫袖口上绽开的缝线;为了庆祝他的生日,她在一打手帕上绣了他的简写姓名。每逢星期二,午饭之后,当她正在长廊上刺绣的时候,他都陪着她,尽量使她快活。皮埃特罗·克列斯比一贯把这姑娘看做一个小娃儿,但他在她身上发现了一些新的特点。她不够雅致,然而却有不寻常的见识和潜在的温情。谁也不会怀疑,皮埃特罗克列斯比会向阿玛兰塔求婚的。的确,在一个星期二,他就要求她嫁给他了。她没中止自己的活儿,等耳朵发烧过了之后,才象成年人那样,给自己的嗓音加上一种平静和稳定的调子。
"Of course, Crespi," she said. "But when we know each other better. It's never good to be hasty in things."“当然罗,克列斯比,”她说。“但要等咱们彼此更加了解以后,过急不好嘛。”
úrsula was confused. In spite of the esteem she had for Pietro Crespi, she could not tell whether his decision was good or bad from the moral point of view after his prolonged and famous engagement to Rebeca. But she finally accepted it as an unqualified fact because no one shared her doubts. Aureliano, who was the man of the house, confused her further with his enigmatic and final opinion:乌苏娜给弄得糊里糊涂。她虽尊重皮埃特罗·克列斯比,但是怎么也闹不明白,从道德观点来说,他的决定不知是好是坏,因为他跟雷贝卡早就订过婚,而他俩的婚事是可耻地告终的。最后,她把他的求婚当成了既成事实——未作任何评价,因为谁也不赞同她的疑虑。家中唯一的男人——奥雷连诺表示神秘、断然的意见,只是加重了她的混乱。
"These are not times to go around thinking about weddings."“现在不是考虑结婚的时候。”
