[00:01.97] | CHAPTER 6 LA CARLOTTA SINGS MARGARITA |
[00:08.94] | On Friday morning La Carlotta had her breakfast in bed. |
[00:14.13] | She drank her coffee and opened her morning letters. |
[00:18.88] | One letter had no name on it. It was very short. |
[00:23.95] | You are ill. |
[00:26.18] | You cannot sing Margarita tonight. |
[00:29.24] | Stay at home and don't go to the Opera House. |
[00:33.32] | Accidents can happen. |
[00:36.28] | Do you want to lose your voice-forever? |
[00:41.82] | La Carlotta was very, very angry. |
[00:45.23] | She got out of bed at once and did not finish her breakfast. |
[00:49.65] | 'This is from Christine Daaé' s friends,' |
[00:52.70] | she thought.'They want her to sing again tonight. |
[00:57.13] | That Daaé girl is going to be sorry for this! |
[01:00.27] | I,La Carlotta, I am the best opera singer in Paris. |
[01:06.56] | And nothing is going to stop me singing Margarita tonight!' |
[01:13.35] | At six o'clock that evening the dancers were in their dressing-room. |
[01:18.48] | They talked and laughed |
[01:20.71] | and put on their red and black dresses for Faust. |
[01:24.48] | But Meg Giry was very quiet. |
[01:28.04] | 'What's the matter,Meg?'Annie Sorelli asked. |
[01:33.18] | 'It's the Opera ghost,Meg said. |
[01:37.19] | 'My mother says he's angry. |
[01:40.13] | She's afraid that something's going to happen tonight.' |
[01:43.89] | 'Oh,pooh!'the girl with black hair said. |
[01:48.20] | 'Who's afraid of an old ghost?' |
[01:53.08] | An hour later Monsieur Armand |
[01:57.51] | and Monsieur Firmin went into Box 5 and sat down. |
[02:01.42] | They were not afraid of ghosts.Of course not. |
[02:05.18] | There were no ghosts in the Opera House. |
[02:09.24] | Then Monsieur Armand saw some flowers |
[02:12.35] | on the floor by the door of the box. |
[02:15.79] | 'Firmin,'he whispered, |
[02:19.15] | 'did you put those flowers there?' |
[02:23.06] | Monsieur Firmin looked. |
[02:25.37] | 'No,I didn't,'he whispered back'Did you?' |
[02:32.12] | 'Of course not, you fool!Shh,the music's beginning.' |
[02:39.40] | La Carlotta did not sing for the first hour. |
[02:43.16] | There were no strange voices in Box 5, |
[02:46.30] | and the two directors began to feel happier. |
[02:49.92] | Then La Carlotta came out onto the stage, |
[02:53.81] | and Monsieur Firmin looked at Monsieur Armand. |
[02:57.77] | 'Did you hear a voice just then?' he asked quietly. |
[03:02.69] | 'No!'Monsieur Armand said, |
[03:06.85] | but he looked behind him twice, |
[03:09.60] | then three times, and suddenly felt cold. |
[03:16.02] | La Carlotta sang and sang, and nothing happened. |
[03:21.15] | Then she began a beautiful love song. |
[03:25.77] | 'My love begins to-Co-ack!' |
[03:32.02] | Everybody stared. |
[03:34.35] | What was the matter with Carlotta's voice |
[03:37.50] | What was that strange noise-Co-ack |
[03:42.48] | Carlotta stopped and began the song again. |
[03:47.10] | 'My love begins to-Co-ack! |
[03:53.53] | I cannot forget my-Co-ack!' |
[03:59.64] | It was the noise of a toad! |
[04:02.96] | People began to talk and laugh. |
[04:05.75] | Monsieur Firmin put his head in his bands. |
[04:09.42] | Then he felt Monsieur Armand's hand on his arm. |
[04:14.08] | There was a voice in the box with them! |
[04:17.20] | A man's voice, laughing |
[04:20.51] | Poor Carlotta tried again, and again. |
[04:25.49] | 'I cannot forget my-Co-ack!' |
[04:32.10] | Then the two directors heard the voice again, |
[04:36.05] | behind them,in front of them, everywhere. |
[04:41.80] | 'Her singing tonight is going to bring down the chandelier!' |
[04:50.42] | The two directors looked up at the top of the Opera House. |
[04:55.22] | Their faces were white. |
[04:57.78] | The famous chandelier, with its thousand lights, |
[05:02.71] | broke away from its ropes and crashed down on to the people below. |
[05:08.34] | That was a terrible night for the Paris Opera House. |
[05:12.60] | One woman was killed by the chandelier, |
[05:15.42] | and many people were hurt. |
[05:18.41] | The Opera House closed for two weeks. |
[05:21.72] | And La Carlotta never sang again. |

[05:21.72] | And La Carlotta never sang again. |
[00:01.97] | 6.拉·卡洛塔演唱玛格丽塔 |
[00:08.94] | 星期五早晨拉·卡洛塔在床上用早餐。 |
[00:14.13] | 她一边喝咖啡一边拆阅她的晨信。 |
[00:18.88] | 有一封信没有署名。它非常短。 |
[00:23.95] | 你病了。 |
[00:26.18] | 今晚你不能演唱玛格丽塔。 |
[00:29.24] | 呆在家里不要去歌剧院。 |
[00:33.32] | 否则会有意外。 |
[00:36.28] | 你想失声吗?——永远? |
[00:41.82] | 拉·卡洛塔非常非常气愤。 |
[00:45.23] | 她立即下床,连早餐都没有吃完。 |
[00:49.65] | “这是克丽斯廷·达埃的朋友写来的,” |
[00:52.70] | 她想,“他们希望她今晚再次演唱。 |
[00:57.13] | 那个达埃姑娘将为此而感到懊悔! |
[01:00.27] | 我,拉·卡洛塔,是巴黎最好的歌剧演唱家。 |
[01:06.56] | 没有什么能够阻止我今晚演唱玛格丽塔!” |
[01:13.35] | 当天晚上 6 点钟舞蹈演员们都来到了她们的化妆室。 |
[01:18.48] | 她们一边笑谈着 |
[01:20.71] | 一边穿上她们的红黑的《浮士德》歌剧服。 |
[01:24.48] | 但是梅格·吉丽却一言不发。 |
[01:28.04] | “怎么了,梅格?”安妮·索雷丽问。 |
[01:33.18] | “是歌剧院的幽灵,”梅洛说, |
[01:37.19] | “我妈妈说他发怒了。 |
[01:40.13] | 她担心今晚会发生什么事。” |
[01:43.89] | “哦,呸!”那个黑发姑娘说, |
[01:48.20] | “谁会害怕什么幽灵?” |
[01:53.08] | 一个小时以后阿尔芒先生 |
[01:57.51] | 和菲尔曼先生步入 5 号包厢坐下。 |
[02:01.42] | 他们从不害怕幽灵。 |
[02:05.18] | 歌剧院里根本就没有幽灵。 |
[02:09.24] | 随后阿尔芒先生发现 |
[02:12.35] | 包厢门边的地上放着一些鲜花。 |
[02:15.79] | “菲尔曼,”他轻声问, |
[02:19.15] | “是你把那些鲜花放在那里的?” |
[02:23.06] | 菲尔曼先生看了看。 |
[02:25.37] | “不,我没有,”他反过来轻声问:“是你吗?” |
[02:32.12] | “当然不是,你这个傻瓜!嘘,歌剧开始了。” |
[02:39.40] | 拉·卡洛塔在开始的一个小时里不演唱。 |
[02:43.16] | 5 号包厢里没有异样的声音, |
[02:46.30] | 于是两位经理开始感觉心情愉快了。 |
[02:49.92] | 接着拉·卡洛塔出现在舞台上, |
[02:53.81] | 这时菲尔曼先生看着阿尔芒先生。 |
[02:57.77] | “刚才你听到说话声了吗?”他轻声问。 |
[03:02.69] | “没有!”阿尔芒先生说, |
[03:06.85] | 但是他往身后看了两次, |
[03:09.60] | 随后又看了第三次,并且突然感到一丝凉意。 |
[03:16.02] | 拉·卡洛塔唱啊唱,并没有发生什么事。 |
[03:21.15] | 接着她开始演唱一首优美的爱情歌曲。 |
[03:25.77] | “我的爱始于——科-艾克!” |
[03:32.02] | 众人面面相觑。 |
[03:34.35] | 卡洛塔的嗓音怎么了? |
[03:37.50] | 那个陌生的杂音——科-艾克是什么? |
[03:42.48] | 卡洛塔停下来重新开始演唱。 |
[03:47.10] | “我的爱始于——科-艾克!” |
[03:53.53] | “我无法忘记我的——科-艾克!” |
[03:59.64] | 这是癞蛤蟆的鼓噪! |
[04:02.96] | 人们开始交头接耳并且哄笑。 |
[04:05.75] | 菲尔曼先生把头埋进双手之中。 |
[04:09.42] | 然后他觉得阿尔芒先生的手放在了自己的手臂上。 |
[04:14.08] | 包厢里有一个声音! |
[04:17.20] | 一个男人的声音,大笑着! |
[04:20.51] | 可怜的卡洛塔试了一次又一次。 |
[04:25.49] | “我无法忘记我的——科-艾克!” |
[04:32.10] | 接着这两位经理又听到了那个声音, |
[04:36.05] | 它来自身后,身前,各个方向。 |
[04:41.80] | “今晚她的演唱将会使枝形吊灯落下来!” |
[04:50.42] | 两位经理抬头朝歌剧院的屋顶看去。 |
[04:55.22] | 他们的脸色变得惨白。 |
[04:57.78] | 那著名的有着上千盏灯的枝形吊灯, |
[05:02.71] | 竟然脱离束缚它的绳索坠落在下面的观众席上。 |
[05:08.34] | 对于巴黎歌剧院来说那是一个可怕的夜晚。 |
[05:12.60] | 一名妇女被枝形吊灯砸死, |
[05:15.42] | 另外许多人被砸伤。 |
[05:18.41] | 歌剧院为此关闭两周。 |
[05:21.72] | 而拉·卡洛塔从此再没有演唱。 |
