世纪文学经典:《百年孤独》第18章Part4  

It was impossible to conceive of a man more like his mother. He was wearing a somber taffeta suit
a shirt with a round and hard collar
and a thin silk ribbon tied in a bow in place of a necktie. He was ruddy and languid with a startled look and weak lips. His black hair
shiny and smooth
parted in the middle of his head by a straight and tired line
had the same artificial appearance as the hair on the saints. The shadow of a well-uprooted beard on his paraffin face looked like a question of conscience. His hands were pale

in contrast to his languid look. From the cabi he took a small damascene chest with the family crest and found on the inside
which was perfumed with sandalwood
the long letter in which Fernanda unburdened her heart of the numerous truths that she had hidden from him. He read it standing up
avidly but without anxiety
and at the third page he stopped and examined Aureliano with a look of second recognition.
“So

“You’re the bastard.?
“I’m Aureliano Buendía.?
