D’Artagnan relates that on his first visit to M. de Tréville, captain of the king’s Musketeers, he met in the antechamber three young men, serving in the illustrious corps into which he was soliciting the honor of being received, bearing the names of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.

达达尼昂叙述说，在他第一次拜访国王火枪队队长德·特雷维尔先生时，他在前厅遇到了三位年轻人，他们服务于那个他渴望被接受的杰出团体，他们分别叫做阿托斯、波尔托斯和阿拉米斯。

We must confess these three strange names struck us; and it immediately occurred to us that they were but pseudonyms, under which D’Artagnan had disguised names perhaps illustrious, or else that the bearers of these borrowed names had themselves chosen them on the day in which, from caprice, discontent, or want of fortune, they had donned the simple Musketeer’s uniform.

我们必须承认，这三个奇怪的名字引起了我们的注意；我们立即想到这些可能只是达达尼昂用来掩饰或许著名的名字的化名，或者这些借用名字的持有者自己在某一天出于一时兴起、不满或因财富匮乏而穿上了简单的火枪手制服时选择了这些名字。
