作者简介

亚历山大·仲马（Alexandre Dumas，1802-1870），文学界称大仲马，法国十九世纪浪漫主义作家。大仲马一生各种著作达300卷之多，以小说和剧作为主。其小说大都以真实的历史作背景，情节曲折生动，往往出人意料，有历史惊险小说之称。结构清晰明朗，语言生动有力，对话灵活机智，这些构成了大仲马小说的特色。大仲马也因而被誉为“通俗小说之王”。代表作有《亨利第三及其宫廷》《基督山伯爵》《三个火枪手》等。

那是个年轻人——他的模样只消用几句话就可以说明白：请想象一下堂吉诃德十八岁时的模样吧，不过这个堂吉诃德没穿胸盔和护腿甲，只穿了一件羊毛紧身短上衣，这件短上衣的蓝颜色，现在已经变成介于酒渣色与天蓝色之间的一种说不上名儿的颜色。长面孔，棕色脸膛，颧骨突出，表明他工于心计；颌部的肌肉特别发达，凭这一点就可以十拿九稳地断定他是加斯科尼人，即使不戴贝雷帽也无妨，何况咱们的年轻人果真还戴了一顶有羽饰的贝雷帽哩……

就因为咱们的年轻人有一匹坐骑，而这匹坐骑又是那么与众不同，所以它就很引人注目了：这是一匹贝阿恩产的矮种马，牙口在十二到十四岁之间，浑身披着黄毛，尾巴上却是光秃秃的，腿弯骨节粗大，迈起步来老是把脑袋耷拉地比膝盖还低，弄得马颌缰用了也是白搭，可就是这样，它每天照样能赶八里路。可惜，这匹马的优点都让那古怪的毛色和寒碜的走相彻底掩盖了，落在那么个人人都自认为是相马行家的年头，这匹大约一刻钟前从博让西城门进牟恩镇的矮种马，一出现在街头就引起了一阵骚动，害得骑马人也因此成了大家的笑柄。

 

But let us trace his portrait with one stroke of the pen.

Fancy to yourself Don Quixote at eighteen- Don Quixote peeled, without his coat of mail or greaves- Don Quixote clothed in a woollen doublet, whose blue colour was changed to an undyable shade, a shade between the lees of wine and a cerulean blue. The countenance long and brown; the cheek-bones high, denoting acuteness; the muscles of the jaw enormously developed- an infallible mark by which a Gascon may be recognised, even without the cap, and our youth wore a cap, adorned with a sort of feather... - for our youth had a steed, and this steed was at the same time so remarkable as to attract observation. It was a Beaunese sheltie, of about twelve or fourteen years of age, yellow as an orange, without any hair on its tail, but abundance of galls on its legs, and which, whilst carrying its head lower than its knees, making the application of a martingale unnecessary, yet managed gallantly its eight leagues a day. Unfortunately, these useful qualities of the steed were so well concealed under its strange coat and eccentric gait, that at a time when every one knew something of horses, the apparition of the aforesaid sheltie at Meung, which it had entered about a quarter of an hour before, by the gate of Beaugency, produced a somewhat unfavourable sensation or impression, which extended even to its master.
