M . de blacas returned as speedily as he had departed , but in the ante - chamber he was forced to appeal to the king s authority 勃拉卡斯公爵以他下楼时的同样速度回来了，但一到了候见厅里，他又不得不停下来等待通告。
" fortunately , sire , " said m . de blacas , " we can rely on the army ; your majesty knows how every report confirms their loyalty and attachment . “幸亏，陛下， ”勃拉卡斯说， “我们可以信赖陆军，陛下知道。所有的报告都证实他们是忠心耿耿的。 ”
Blacas , remain . " ah , sir , " said the minister of police to villefort , as they left the tuileries , " you entered by luck s door - your fortune is made . “啊，先生， ”在他们离开杜伊勒里宫的时候，警务部长对维尔福说， “您走的门路不错，您的前程远大！ ”
" blacas , my friend , you have but limited comprehension . i told you villefort was ambitions , and to attain this ambition villefort would sacrifice everything , even his father . 我告诉过您，维尔福是很有野心的，只要自己能成功，他什么都可以牺牲掉，甚至于他的父亲。 ”
He exclaimed . " you appear quite aghast . has your uneasiness anything to do with what m . de blacas has told me , and m . de villefort has just confirmed ? 他惊讶地问， “看来你好象是一副大难临头的样子，你这惊慌犹豫的样子，是否与刚才勃拉卡斯先生又加以证实的事有关？ ”
Laughing ; " the greatest captains of antiquity amused themselves by casting pebbles into the ocean - see plutarch s life of scipio africanus . " m . de blacas pondered deeply between the confident monarch and the truthful minister “古代最伟大的船长们也都是在大海上打水漂儿取乐的，不信可看普鲁塔克公元，古希腊历史家。
" really , m . de blacas , i must change your armorial bearings ; i will give you an eagle with outstretched wings , holding in its claws a prey which tries in vain to escape , and bearing this device - tenax . 我让你猜一谜，有一只展开双翅的老鹰，它的脚爪抓住了一只猎物，这个猎物想逃跑，但又逃不了，它的名字就叫做拉丁文：固执。 ”
Cried de blacas . at this instant the minister of police appeared at the door , pale , trembling , and as if ready to faint . villefort was about to retire , but m . de blacas , taking his hand , restrained him 这时，警务大臣在门口出现了，他脸色苍白，全身颤抖，象就要昏死过去的样子，维尔福正想告退，勃拉斯公爵却拉住了他的手，留住了他。
" speak as fully as you please , sir , " said the king , who began to give way to the emotion which had showed itself in blacas s face and affected villefort s voice . " speak , sir , and pray begin at the beginning ; i like order in everything . “你尽量说吧，先生， ”国王说，他开始被勃拉卡斯脸上的神色和维尔福激动的语气打动了， “说吧，先生，请从头说起，我喜欢一切都有条有理。 ”
" and now , gentlemen , " he continued , turning towards m . de blacas and the minister of police , " i have no further occasion for you , and you may retire ; what now remains to do is in the department of the minister of war . “那也好， ”国王又开始说道， “先生们， ”他转过向勃拉卡斯公爵和警务大臣说道， “我对你们没有什么可以谈的了，你们可以退下了。剩下的事必须由陆军部来办理了。 ”
