SCENE VI (Monsieur Jourdain, Madame Jourdain, Dorante, Nicole)MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: There are two hundred louis d'or.DORANTE: Iassure you, Monsieur Jourdain, that I am completely yours, and that I am eager to render you a service at court.MONSIEUR JOURDAIN:

I'm much obliged to you.DORANTE: If Madame Jourdain desires to see the royal entertainment, I will have the best places in the ballroom given to her.MADAME JOURDAIN: Madame Jourdain kisses your hands [but declines].DORANTE: (Aside to Monsieur Jourdain)Our beautiful marchioness, as I sent word to you, in my note, will come here soon for the ballet and refreshments; I finally brought her to consent to the entertainment you wish to give her.MONSIEURJOURDAIN: Let us move a little farther away, for a certain reason.

DORANTE: It has been eight days since I saw you, and I have sent you no news regarding the diamond you put into my hands to present to her on your behalf; but it's because I had the greatest difficulty in conquering her scruples, and it's only today that she resolved to accept it.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: How did she judge it?

DORANTE: Marvelous.And I am greatly deceived if the beauty of that diamond does not produce for you an admirable effect on her spirit.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Would to Heaven!

MADAME JOURDAIN: (To Nicole) Once he's with him he cannot leave him.

DORANTE: I made her value as she should the richness of that present and the grandeur of your love.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: These are, sir, favors which overwhelm me; and Iam in the very greatest confusion at seeing a person of your quality demean himself for me as you do.

DORANTE: Are you joking? Among friends, does one stop at these sorts of scruples? And wouldn't you do the same thing for me, if the occasion offered?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Oh! Certainly, and with all my heart.

MADAME JOURDAIN: (To Nicole) His presence weighs me down!

DORANTE: As for me, I never mind anything when it is necessary to serve a friend; and when you confided in me about the ardent passion you have formed for that delightful marchioness with whom Ihave contacts, you saw that I volunteered immediately to assist your love.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: It's true, these are favors that confound me.

MADAME JOURDAIN: (To Nicole) Will he never go?

NICOLE: They enjoy being together.

DORANTE: You took the right tack to touch her heart.Women love above all the expenses we go to for them; and your frequent serenades, your continual bouquets, that superb fireworks for her over the water, the diamond she has received from you, and the entertainment you are preparing for her, all this speaks much better in favor of your love than all the words you might have spoken yourself.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: There are no expenditures I would not make if by that means I might find the road to her heart.A woman of quality has ravishing charms for me and it's an honor I would purchase at any price.

MADAME JOURDAIN: (To Nicole) What can they talk about so much?

Steal over and listen a little.

DORANTE: Soon enough you will enjoy at your ease the pleasure of seeing her, and your eyes will have a long time to satisfy themselves.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: To be completely free, I have arranged for my wife to go to dinner at her sister's, where she'll spend all the after-dinner hours.

DORANTE: You have done prudently, as your wife might have embarrassed us.I have given the necessary orders to the cook for you, and for the ballet.It is of my own invention; and, provided the execution corresponds to the idea, I am sure it will be found.

..

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: (Sees that Nicole is listening, and gives her a slap) Say! You're very impertinent! (To Dorante) Let's go, if you please.

  • 万有相通:哲学与人生的追寻

    万有相通:哲学与人生的追寻

    本书为我社已出版“学术随笔”系列丛书新增的第10本,该套丛书主要为学术界一些知名学者的哲学随笔,主要特色在于内容短小,寓意深刻,雅俗共赏,有作者的新作,也有按一定的主题编排的作者已经发表过的内容。题目分为主标题和副标题,如“万有相通:哲学与人生的追寻”,活泼又不失文学性。丛书每篇章篇幅都不长,而每一篇又都是围绕着一个独立的议题单独展开,独立成篇,这样读者读来就不至于过于辛苦,可以是茶余饭后的“甜品”,也可以是工作空暇的“休闲”。但篇幅的短小并不代表作品不精干,相反,作者正是把自己几十年的哲学体会以短小的篇幅显现出来,相比之下更显功力。
