The Cast of the Amontillado Edgar Allan Poe
阿芒提拉多的酒桶 艾伦。坡
THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could ; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged ; this was a point definitively settled - but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved, precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong. 我受够了弗图纳多的百般伤害，一旦他胆敢侮辱我，我定将还以颜色。您是如此了解我的脾性，毋庸置疑，我可不是说着玩的。雪尽耻辱那是迟早的事，这一点已是板上钉钉，既然拿定注意，我就不怕冒险。而且，不仅要施以惩戒，还要干的神不知鬼不觉。复仇者自己受到牵连，这仇等于没报。同样，不让仇家知道是谁干的，这恩怨还是没有了断。

Few Italians have the true virtuoso spirit. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and opportunity - to practise imposture upon the British and Austrian millionaires. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen , was a quack - but in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not differ from him materially : I was skilful in the Italian vintages myself, and bought largely whenever I could.
弗图纳多，这家伙的弱点在于——他自负于对葡萄酒的鉴别力，尽管在很多方面他都被人尊重且令人敬畏。没有几个意大利人真正懂得品酒之道。他们的兴趣大都用于找准时机给英国和奥地利的富翁们下拌设套。在绘画和珠宝方面，弗图纳多和他的同胞一样，江湖骗子一个。不过在陈酒方面，他确有一手。这一点我和他相差不远，对意大利葡萄酒，我也不俗，只要可能，我就大量买进。
