卢瓦泽尔夫人一把搂住她朋友的脖子，吻了她就急忙出门而去，惟恐她朋友会改变主意。

The night of the ball came at last．Madame Loisel was a brilliant success．She looked more beautiful than any other woman present．Triumphantly，full of grace and joy，she danced admirably，aware of the rapt eyes of the company．All the men inquired her name，wanted to be introduced，asked her for waltzes．She attracted the attention of even the minister him- self．
舞会之夜终于来临。卢瓦泽尔太太非常成功。她看上去比所有在场的女人都漂亮。她满怀喜悦，温文尔雅，迈着令人赞叹的舞步，洋洋自得地瞟着舞伴投来的痴迷的目光。所有的男人都在打听她的姓名，求人介绍，请她跳华尔兹舞，甚至连部长本人也注意到了她。
She felt as if she were in a beautiful dream，intoxicated with happiness．Oh，how long she had been yearning for such a moment！
她感到自己仿佛做着美丽的梦，陶醉在欢乐之中。啊，这一刻她已盼了多久了！
It was about four in the morning before she could tear herself away from the ball．Her husband had been dozing since midnight in a little deserted drawing room with three other gentlemen whose wives were enjoying the dance．
直到早晨大约4点钟，她才依依不舍地离开舞会。她丈夫自午夜起就在一间弃而未用的小客厅里打瞌睡，另外还有三位先生，他们的夫人也正尽情地跳着舞。
He threw round her shoulders her cloak for everyday wear，which looked strangely incongruous with her elegant ball dress，and anxious to escape the eyes of the other women in rich furs，she hurried down the staircase．
他把夫人日常穿的披风披在她的肩头。与她在舞会上穿的那件体面的衣服相比，这件披风显得格外地不相称。为急于逃脱那些身着名贵裘衣的女人们的注意，她匆匆忙忙地跑下楼梯。
No cab was to be seen in the street，and，shivering with cold，they trudged on towards the Seine．At last，on the quay，they found an old，rickety cab rarely seen in Paris in the daytime．On reaching their dwelling，they climbed the stairs to their flat in gloomy silence．
街上一辆马车也找不着，他们冷得直打哆嗦，朝著塞纳河吃力地走下去。在码头，他们终于找到一辆破旧的摇摇晃晃的出租马车，这种车白天在巴黎街头是见不到的。到了住所，在死一般的沉寂中，他们爬上楼梯回到家里。
She took off her garment before the mirror．She wanted to enjoy one more glance at herself， decked in all her glory．Suddenly she cried out in horror．
她站在镜子前脱去外套。她想趁现在满身荣耀，把自己再多瞧一眼。突然，她惊叫起来。
“What is the matter？”her husband asked．He was already half undressed；he had to be at the office by te
艰辛岁月来临了。他们勇敢地决定靠辛勤工作来偿还那骇人听闻的债务。他们退掉了公寓，搬到了一处阁楼上住。除了日常用品，他们什么也不买，就连日用品也尽量少买。她学会了与商人讨价还价，随时准备为每一文钱与人争执。没有了白日梦，取而代之的是为还债而无休无止的苦干。
Each month some of the promissory notes had to be renewed，only to gain time．The husband worked after office hours，keeping accounts for a tradesman，and late at night copying manuscripts at five sons a page．
为了延长偿还期限，每月总得要续签一些期票。丈夫下班后就替一个商人记帐，深夜时还为别人抄稿子，抄一页挣5个苏。
A new year came，followed by another andanother，and still they grubbed on，until ten years had flowed on．Their efforts were not in vain．At the end of that time they had managed to pay off everything，including interest at high rate．
一年接一年的过去了，他们仍旧拼命干活，一直干了10年。他们的努力没有白费。10年后，他们终于还清了所有债务，包括高利贷利息。
Madame Loisel now looked older than her age．Her hair disheveled，her skirt turned to one side， her hands rough and hardened，the former sentimental，romantic woman had turned into a stout- hearted matron who had tasted the bitters of life．Now and then，however，when her husband was away at the office，she would sit by the window and think of the glory of that dance．What sort of woman would she be now，if she had not lost the necklace？Who knows？
卢瓦泽尔夫人现在看来比她的实际年龄老得多。她的头发凌乱，裙子歪斜到一边，双手也磨得粗糙有力。这个从前多愁善感、浪漫多情的女子现已变成了倍尝生活艰辛的铁娘子。然而，当丈夫去上班时，她也偶尔坐在窗前回味那场舞会上的荣光。如果她没有丢失那条项链，她现在又会是什么样的女人呢？谁知道？
One Sunday she went for a stroll in the Champs-Elysées to divert her mind from the labours of the week，when she caught sight of a lady with a child．It was Madame restier！
有一个星期天，她去香榭丽舍大道闲逛，藉以排遣一周的劳累。突然，她看到一个带着小孩的妇人，此人正是福雷斯蒂埃夫人！
Madame Forestier looked as young，as beautiful， and as charming as ten years before．Madame Loisel felt her heart beat hard．Should she speak to her？Yes，of course．The debt had all been paid； she might tell her all about it．Why not？She went up to Madame Forestier．
福雷斯蒂埃夫人看上去跟10年前一样年轻，一样漂亮，一样迷人。卢瓦泽尔夫人的心激动得发颤。她该给她讲吗？是的，当然应该！债已还清，她当然可以告诉她这一切的一切。为什么不呢？她径直朝福雷斯蒂埃夫
