Chapter 3: Christine Daae

Mr. Firmin was right.

All Paris talked about the new Margarita in Faust, the girl with the beautiful voice, the girl with the voice of an angel.

People loved her.

They laughed and cried and called for more.

Daae was wonderful,the best singer in the world!

Behind the stage,Meg Giry looked at Annie Sorelli.

"Christine Daae never sang like that before," she said to Annie. "Why was she so good tonight?".

"Perhaps she's got a new music teacher," Annie said.

The noise in the Opera House went on for a long time.

In Box 14, Phillipe, the Comte de Chagny, turned to his younger brother and smiled.

"Well, Raoul,what did you think of Daae tonight?" Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, was 21 years old.

He had blue eyes and black hair, and a wonderful smile.

The Chagny family was old and rich, and many girls in Paris were in love with the young Vicomte.

But Raoul was not interested in them.

He smiled back at his brother.

"What can I say? Christine is an angel, that's all. I'm going to her dressing room to see her tonight."

Phillipe laughed.

He was 20 year solder than Raul, and was more like a father than a brother.

"Ah, I understand." He said, "You are in love! But this is your first night in Paris, your first visit to the opera. How do you know Christine Daae?"

"You remember four years ago, when I was on holiday by the sea, in Brittany?" Raoul said, "Well, I met Christine there. I was in love with her then, and I'm still in love with her today! "

The Comte de Chagny looked at his brother.

"Mmm, I see." He said slowly. "Well, Raoul, remember she is only an opera singer. We know nothing about family."

But Raoul did not listen.

To him, good families were not important, and young men never listened to their older brothers.

There were many people in Christine Daae's dressing room that night.

But there was a doctor with Christine, and her beautiful face looked white and ill.

Raoul went quickly across the room and took her hand.

"Christine!What's the matter? Are you ill?"

He went down on the floor by her chair.

"Don't you remember me? Raoul de chagny, in Brittany?

Christine looked at him, and her blue eyes were afraid.

She took her hand away.

"No, I don't know you. Please go away. I'm not too out."

Raoul stood up, his face red.

Before he could speak,the doctor said quickly.

"Yes, yes, please go away. Everybody, please leave the room. Mademoiselle Daae needs to be quiet.She is very tired."

He moved to the door, and soon everybody left the room.

Christine Daae was alone in her dressing room.

Outside in the passage the young Vicomte was angry and unhappy.

How could Christine forget him? How could you say that to him?

He waited for some minutes, then, very quietly and carefully, he went back to the door of her dressing room.

But he did not open the door, because just then he heard a man's voice in the room!"Christine, You must love me.!" the voice said.

Then Raoul heard Christine's voice.

"How can you talk like that? When I sing only for you? Tonight, I gave everything to you,everything. And now I'm so tired."

Her voice was unhappy and afraid.

"You sound like an angel," the man's voice said.

Raoul walked away.

So that was the answer!

Christine Daae had a lover.

But why was her voiceso unhappy?

He waited in the shadows near her room.

He wanted to see her lover – his enemy!

After about 10 minutes Christine came out of her room, alone, and walked away down the passage.

Raoul waited, but no man came out after her.

There was nobody in the passage, so Raoul went quickly up to the door of the dressing room, opened it and went in.

He closed the door quietly behind him, then called out: Where are you? I know you're in here! Come out!"

There was no answer.

Raoul looked everywhere - under the chairs, behind all the clothes, in all the dark corners of the room.

There was nobody there.

第三章:克里斯汀·达埃

菲尔曼是对的。
整个巴黎都在谈论《浮士德》里的新玛格丽塔，那个有着美丽嗓音的女孩，那个有着天使般嗓音的女孩。
人们喜欢她。
他们又笑又哭，要求更多。
达埃太棒了，他是世界上最好的歌手!
在舞台后面，梅格·吉丽看着安妮·索雷利。
“克丽斯汀·达埃以前从来没有唱过那样的歌，”她对安妮说。“她今晚为什么这么好?”
“也许她有了一个新的音乐老师，”安妮说。
歌剧院里的喧闹声持续了很长时间。
在十四号包厢里，沙尼伯爵菲利普转向他的弟弟，微微一笑。
“喂，拉乌尔，你觉得达埃今晚怎么样?”拉乌尔，夏尼子爵，21岁。
他有一双蓝色的眼睛和一头黑色的头发，还有一个美妙的微笑。
沙尼家族古老而富有，巴黎的许多姑娘都爱上了这位年轻的子爵。
但拉乌尔对他们不感兴趣。
他对他弟弟也笑了笑。
“我能说什么呢?”克里斯汀是个天使，仅此而已。今晚我要去她的化妆室看她。”
菲利普笑了。
他比劳尔大20岁，更像父亲而不是兄弟。
“啊，我明白了。”他说:“你恋爱了!但这是你在巴黎的第一个晚上，你第一次去歌剧院。你是怎么认识克丽斯汀·达埃的?”
“你还记得四年前，我在布列塔尼的海边度假吗?”拉乌尔说:“嗯，我在那里遇到了克里斯汀。那时我就爱上了她，直到今天我还爱着她!”
沙尼伯爵看了看他哥哥。
“嗯，我明白了。”他慢慢地说。“好吧，拉乌尔，记住她只是一个歌剧演员。我们对家庭一无所知。”
但拉乌尔不听。
对他来说，好的家庭并不重要，年轻人从不听哥哥的话。
那天晚上克丽斯廷·达埃的化妆室里有很多人。
但是克丽斯廷身边有一位医生，她美丽的脸显得苍白而病态。
拉乌尔迅速穿过房间，拉起她的手。
“克里斯汀!怎么了?你病了吗?”
他倒在她椅子旁边的地板上。
“你不记得我了吗?布列塔尼的拉乌尔·德·查尼?
克里斯汀看着他，她的蓝眼睛里充满了恐惧。
她把手拿开。
“不，我不认识你。请走开。我还没太落伍。”
拉乌尔站了起来，脸涨得通红。
他还没来得及说话，医生就飞快地说。
“是的，是的，请走开。大家请离开房间。达埃小姐需要安静。她很累了。”
他走到门口，很快大家都离开了房间。
克丽斯廷·达埃一个人在她的化妆室里。
在外面的通道里，年轻的子爵又气又恼。
克里斯汀怎么能忘记他呢?你怎么能这样对他说?
他等了几分钟，然后非常安静、小心地走回她的化妆室门口。
但他没有开门，因为就在这时，他听到房间里有一个男人的声音!“克丽斯廷，你一定爱我!”那声音说。
然后拉乌尔听到了克丽斯廷的声音。
“你怎么能这样说话?”当我只为你而唱?今晚，我把一切都给了你。现在我太累了。”
她的声音里充满了不高兴和恐惧。
“你听起来像个天使，”那人的声音说。
拉乌尔走开了。
这就是答案!
克丽斯廷·达埃有个情人。
可是为什么她的声音这么不高兴呢?
他在她房间附近的阴影里等着。
他想见见她的情人——他的敌人!
大约十分钟后，克里斯汀从她的房间里出来，独自一人，沿着走廊走了。
拉乌尔等着，但没有人出来追她。
走廊里一个人也没有，所以拉乌尔迅速走到更衣室门口，打开门走了进去。
他轻轻地关上身后的门，然后喊道:你在哪里?我知道你在这里!出来!”
没有人回答。
拉乌尔到处找——椅子底下，所有衣服后面，房间里所有黑暗的角落。
那里一个人也没有。
