His reply was definitive. In three months he expected to establish his headquarters in Macondo. If he did not find Colonel Gerineldo Márquez alive at that time he would shoot out of hand all of the officers he held prisoner at that moment starting with the generals, and he would give orders to his subordinates to do the same for the rest of the war. Three months later, when he entered Macondo in triumph, the first embrace he received on the swamp road was that of Colonel Gerineldo Márquez.奥雷连诺上校的答复是坚决的:过三个月,他打算把自己的司令部迁到马孔多。那时,如果他没有看见格林列尔多·马克斯上校活着,他将不经审讯枪毙所有被俘的军官,首先拿被俘的将军开刀,而且他将命令部下直到战争结束都这样干。三个月以后,奥雷连诺的军队胜利地进入马孔多时,在通往沼泽地带的道路上,拥抱他的第一个人就是格林列尔多·马克斯上校。
The house was full of children. úrsula had taken in Santa Sofía de la Piedad with her older daughter and a pair of twins, who had been born five months after Arcadio had been shot. Contrary to the victim's last wishes, she baptized the girl with the name of Remedios. I'm sure that was what Arcadio meant," she alleged. "We won't call her úrsula, because a person suffers too much with that name." The twins were named José Arcadio Segundo and Aureliano Segundo. Amaranta took care of them all. She put small wooden chairs in the living room and established a nursery with other children from neighboring families. When Colonel Aureliano Buendía returned in the midst of exploding rockets and ringing bells, a children's chorus welcomed him to the house. Aureliano José, tall like his grandfa-ther, dressed as a revolutionary officer, gave him military honors.布恩蒂亚家里挤满了孩子。乌苏娜收留了圣索菲娅。 德拉佩德以及她的一个大女儿和一对孪生子,这对孪生子是阿卡蒂奥枪毙之后过了五个月出世的。乌苏娜不顾他的最后愿望,把小姑娘取名叫雷麦黛丝。“我相信这是阿卡蒂奥的意思,”她辩解地说。“咱们没有叫她乌苏娜,因为她取了这个名字就会苦一辈子。”孪生子叫做霍。 阿卡蒂奥第二和奥雷连诺第二。阿玛兰塔自愿照顾这几个孩子。她在客厅里摆了一些小木椅,再把左邻右舍的孩子聚集起来,成立了一个托儿所。在僻啪的爆竹声和当当的钟声中,奥雷连诺上校进城的时候,一个儿童合唱队在家宅门口欢迎他。奥雷连诺·霍塞象他祖父一样高大,穿着革命军的军官制服,按照规矩向奥雷连诺行了军礼。
Not all the news was good. A year after the flight of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, José Arcadio and Rebeca went to live in the house Arcadio had built. No one knew about his intervention to halt the execution. In the new house, located on the best corner of the square, in the shade of an almond tree that was honored by three nests of redbreasts, with a large door for visitors and four windows for light, they set up a hospitable home. Rebeca's old friends, among them four of the Moscote sisters who were still single, once more took up the sessions of embroidery that had been interrupted years before on the porch with the begonias. José Arcadio continued to profit from the usurped lands, the title to which was recognized by the Conservative government. Every afternoon he could be seen returning on horseback, with his hunting dogs and his double-barreled shotgun and a string of rabbits hanging from his saddle. One September afternoon, with the threat of a storm, he returned home earlier than usual. He greeted Rebeca in the dining room, tied the dogs up in the courtyard, hung the rabbits up in the kitchen to be salted later, and went to the bedroom to change his clothes. Rebeca later declared that when her husband went into the bedroom she was locked in the bathroom and did not hear anything. It was a difficult version to believe, but there was no other more plausible, and no one could think of any motive for Rebeca to murder the man who had made her happy. That was perhaps the only mystery that was never cleared up in Macondo. As soon as José Arcadio closed the bedroom door the sound of a pistol shot echoed through the house. A trickle of blood came out under the door, crossed the living room, went out into the street, continued on in a straight line across the uneven terraces, went down steps and climbed over curbs, passed along the Street of the Turks, turned a corner to the right and another to the left, made a right angle at the Buendía house, went in under the closed door, crossed through the parlor, hugging the walls so as not to stain the rugs, went on to the other living room, made a wide curve to avoid the dining-room table, went along the porch with the begonias, and passed without being seen under Amaranta's chair as she gave an arithmetic lesson to Aureliano José , and went through the pantry and came out in the kitchen, where úrsula was getting ready to crack thirty--six eggs to make bread.并非一切消息都是好的。奥雷连诺上校逃脱枪毙之后过了一年,霍。 阿卡蒂奥和雷贝卡就迁进了阿卡蒂奥建成的房子。谁也不知道霍。 阿卡蒂奥救了上校的命,新房子座落在市镇广场最好的地方,在一棵杏树的浓荫下面;知更鸟在树上筑了三个巢:房子有一道正门和四扇窗子。夫妇俩把这儿搞成了一个好客之家。雷贝卡的老朋友,其中包括摩斯柯特家的四姊妹(她们至今还没结婚)。又到这儿来一起绣花了,她们的聚会是几年前在秋海棠长廊上中断的。霍·阿卡蒂奥继续使用侵占的土地,保守党政府承认了他的土地所有权,每天傍晚都可看见他骑着马回来,后面是一群猎犬:他带着一支双筒枪,鞍上系着一串野兔。九月里的一天,快要临头的暴雨使他不得不比平常早一点回家。他在饭厅里跟雷贝卡打了个招呼,把狗拴在院里,将兔子拿进厨房去等着腌起来,就到卧室去换衣服。后来,据雷贝卡说,丈夫走进卧室的时候,她在浴室里洗澡,什么也不知道。这种说法是值得怀疑的,可是谁也想不出其它更近情理的原因,借以说明雷贝卡为什么要打死一个使她幸福的人。这大概是马孔多始终没有揭穿的唯一秘密。霍·阿卡蒂奥刚刚带上卧室的门,室内就响起了手枪声。门下溢出一股血,穿过客厅,流到街上,沿着凹凸不平的人行道前进,流下石阶,爬上街沿,顺着土耳其人街奔驰,往右一弯,然后朝左一拐,径直踅向布恩蒂亚的房子,在关着的房门下面挤了进去,绕过客厅,贴着墙壁(免得弄脏地毯),穿过起居室,在饭厅的食桌旁边画了条曲线,沿着秋海棠长廊婉蜒行进,悄悄地溜过阿玛兰塔的椅子下面(她正在教奥雷连诺·霍塞学习算术),穿过库房,进了厨房(乌苏娜正在那儿准备打碎三十六只鸡蛋来做面包)。
"Holy Mother of God!" úrsula shouted.“我的圣母!”乌苏娜一声惊叫。
She followed the thread of blood back along its course, and in search of its origin she went through the pantry, along the begonia porch where Aureliano José was chanting that three plus three is six and six plus three is nine, and she crossed the dining room and the living rooms and followed straight down the street, and she turned first to the right and then to the left to the Street of the Turks, forgetting that she was still wearing her baking apron and her house slippers, and she came out onto the square and went into the door of a house where she had never been, and she pushed open the bedroom door and was almost suffocated by the smell of burned gunpowder, and she found José Arcadio lying face down on the ground on top of the leggings he had just taken off, and she saw the starting point of the thread of blood that had already stopped flowing out of his right ear. They found no wound on his body nor could they locate the weapon. Nor was it possible to remove the smell of powder from the corpse. First they washed him three times with soap and a scrubbing brush, and they rubbed him with salt and vinegar, then with ashes and lemon, and finally they put him in a barrel of lye and let him stay for six hours. They scrubbed him so much that the arabesques of his tattooing began to fade. When they thought of the desperate measure of seasoning him with pepper, cumin seeds, and laurel leaves and boiling him for a whole day over a slow fire, he had already begun to decompose and they had to bury him hastily. They sealed him hermetically in a special coffin seven and a half feet long and four feet wide, reinforced inside with iron plates and fastened together with steel bolts, and even then the smell could be perceived on the streets through which the funeral procession passed. Father Nicanor, with his liver enlarged and tight as a drum, gave him his blessing from bed. Although in the months that followed they reinforced the grave with walls about it, between which they threw compressed ash, sawdust, and quicklime, the cemetery still smelled of powder for many years after, until the engineers from the banana company covered the grave over with a shell of concrete. As soon as they took the body out, Rebeca closed the doors of her house and buried herself alive, covered with a thick crust of disdain that no earthly temptation was ever able to break. She went out into the street on one occasion, when she was very old, with shoes the color of old silver and a hat made of tiny flowers, during the time that the Wandering Jew passed through town and brought on a heat wave that was so intense that birds broke through window screens to come to die in the bedrooms. The last time anyone saw her alive was when with one shot she killed a thief who was trying to force the door of her house. Except for Argénida, her servant and confidante, no one ever had any more contact with her after that.于是,她朝着血液流来的方向往回走,想弄清楚血是从哪儿来的:她穿过库房,经过秋海棠长廊(奥雷连诺·霍塞正在那儿大声念:3十3=6,6十3=9),过了饭厅和客厅,沿着街道一直前进,然后往右拐,再向左拐,到了土耳其人街;她一直没有发觉,她是系着围裙、穿着拖鞋走过市镇的;然后,她到了市镇广场,走进她从来没有来过的房子,推开卧室的门,一股火药味呛得她喘不过气来;接着,她瞧见了趴在地板上的儿子,身体压着他已脱掉的长统皮靴;而且她还看见,已经停止流动的一股血,是从他的右耳开始的。在霍·阿卡蒂奥的尸体上,没有发现一点伤痕,无法确定他是被什么武器打死的。让尸体摆脱强烈的火药味,也没办到,虽然先用刷子和肥皂擦了三次,然后又用盐和醋擦,随后又用灰和柠檬汁擦,最后拿一桶碱水把它泡了六个小时。这样反复擦来擦去,皮肤上所刺的奇异花纹就明显地褪色了。他们采取极端的办法——给尸体加上胡椒、茴香和月桂树叶,放在微火上焖了整整一天,尸体已经开始腐烂,他们才不得不把它慌忙埋掉。死人是密封在特制棺材里的,棺材长二米三十公分,宽一米十公分,内部用铁皮加固,并且拿钢质螺钉拧紧。但是尽管如此,送葬队伍在街上行进的时候,还能闻到火药味。尼康诺神父肝脏肿得象个鼓似的,在床上给死者作了祈祷。随后,他们又给坟围了几层砖,在所有的间隙里填满灰渣、锯屑和生石灰,但是许多年里坟墓依然发出火药味,直到香蕉公司的工程师们给坟堆浇上一层钢筋混凝土,棺材刚刚抬出,雷贝卡就闩上房门,与世隔绝了,她穿上了藐视整个世界的“甲胄”,这身“甲胄”是世上的任何诱惑力都穿不透的。她只有一次走上街头,那时她已经是个老妇,穿着一双旧的银色鞋子,戴着一顶小花帽。当时,一个流浪的犹太人经过马孔多,带来了那么酷烈的热浪,以致鸟儿都从窗上的铁丝网钻到屋里,掉到地上死了。雷贝卡活着的时候,人家最后一次看见她是在那天夜里,当时她用准确的射击打死了一个企图撬她房门的小偷。后来,除了她的女佣人和心腹朋友阿金尼达,谁也没有遇见过她。
At one time it was discovered that she was writing letters to the Bishop, whom she claimed as a first cousin. but it was never said whether she received any reply. The town forgot about her.有个时候,有人说她曾写信给一个主教(她认为他是她的表兄),可是没有听说她收到过回信。镇上的人都把她给忘了。

His reply was definitive. In three months he expected to establish his headquarters in Macondo. If he did not find Colonel Gerineldo Márquez alive at that time he would shoot out of hand all of the officers he held prisoner at that moment starting with the generals, and he would give orders to his subordinates to do the same for the rest of the war.

奥雷连诺上校的答复是坚决的:过三个月,他打算把自己的司令部迁到马孔多。那时,如果他没有看见格林列尔多·马克斯上校活着,他将不经审讯枪毙所有被俘的军官,首先拿被俘的将军开刀,而且他将命令部下直到战争结束都这样干。三个月以后,奥雷连诺的军队胜利地进入马孔多时,在通往沼泽地带的道路上,拥抱他的第一个人就是格林列尔多·马克斯上校。
布恩蒂亚家里挤满了孩子。乌苏娜收留了圣索菲娅。 德拉佩德以及她的一个大女儿和一对孪生子,这对孪生子是阿卡蒂奥枪毙之后过了五个月出世的。乌苏娜不顾他的最后愿望,把小姑娘取名叫雷麦黛丝。“我相信这是阿卡蒂奥的意思,”她辩解地说。“咱们没有叫她乌苏娜,因为她取了这个名字就会苦一辈子。”孪生子叫做霍。 阿卡蒂奥第二和奥雷连诺第二。阿玛兰塔自愿照顾这几个孩子。她在客厅里摆了一些小木椅,再把左邻右舍的孩子聚集起来,成立了一个托儿所。在僻啪的爆竹声和当当的钟声中,奥雷连诺上校进城的时候,一个儿童合唱队在家宅门口欢迎他。奥雷连诺·霍塞象他祖父一样高大,穿着革命军的军官制服,按照规矩向奥雷连诺行了军礼。
并非一切消息都是好的。奥雷连诺上校逃脱枪毙之后过了一年,霍。 阿卡蒂奥和雷贝卡就迁进了阿卡蒂奥建成的房子。谁也不知道霍。 阿卡蒂奥救了上校的命,新房子座落在市镇广场最好的地方,在一棵杏树的浓荫下面;知更鸟在树上筑了三个巢:房子有一道正门和四扇窗子。夫妇俩把这儿搞成了一个好客之家。雷贝卡的老朋友,其中包括摩斯柯特家的四姊妹(她们至今还没结婚)。又到这儿来一起绣花了,她们的聚会是几年前在秋海棠长廊上中断的。霍·阿卡蒂奥继续使用侵占的土地,保守党政府承认了他的土地所有权,每天傍晚都可看见他骑着马回来,后面是一群猎犬:他带着一支双筒枪,鞍上系着一串野兔。九月里的一天,快要临头的暴雨使他不得不比平常早一点回家。他在饭厅里跟雷贝卡打了个招呼,把狗拴在院里,将兔子拿进厨房去等着腌起来,就到卧室去换衣服。后来,据雷贝卡说,丈夫走进卧室的时候,她在浴室里洗澡,什么也不知道。这种说法是值得怀疑的,可是谁也想不出其它更近情理的原因,借以说明雷贝卡为什么要打死一个使她幸福的人。这大概是马孔多始终没有揭穿的唯一秘密。霍·阿卡蒂奥刚刚带上卧室的门,室内就响起了手枪声。门下溢出一股血,穿过客厅,流到街上,沿着凹凸不平的人行道前进,流下石阶,爬上街沿,顺着土耳其人街奔驰,往右一弯,然后朝左一拐,径直踅向布恩蒂亚的房子,在关着的房门下面挤了进去,绕过客厅,贴着墙壁(免得弄脏地毯),穿过起居室,在饭厅的食桌旁边画了条曲线,沿着秋海棠长廊婉蜒行进,悄悄地溜过阿玛兰塔的椅子下面(她正在教奥雷连诺·霍塞学习算术),穿过库房,进了厨房(乌苏娜正在那儿准备打碎三十六只鸡蛋来做面包)。
