一个“恐怖份子”的肖像

Jean-Baptiste Carrier,因屠杀而臭名昭著。从整个肖像来看,卡里耶面部瘦削,有一个大大的鹰钩鼻——陡峭且曲折。

弗雷隆在回忆录用语言提供了卡里耶的肖像: This monster is very tall. He is almost all arms and legs. He has a curved back, his head, his face oblong and marked by a strong personality. His eyes, small, angular and deepset, are of a colour which mixes blood and bile. His aquiline nose makes his appearance even more terrible. His complexion is copper-coloured. He is thin and nervy, and the prominence of his hips, together with his lack of belly, makes him appear cut in half like a wasp. The sharpness of his voice is made even more noticeable because of his southern accent. When he is at the tribune and slightly animated, he seems to tear his speeches from his entrails, pronouncing his 'R's like a growling tiger. His physionomy is a faithful reflection of his character. 

简而言之,卡里耶身高很高,身体十分修长。头、脸是长方形状的。眼睛很小,棱角分明且深陷。颜色似乎是混合了血液与胆汁的颜色。肤色是古铜色。在日常生活中卡里耶脸部的神情可能是“nervy”,紧张、焦虑的模样。卡里耶没有啤酒肚、肚子不明显,但是臀部很突出,以至于让弗雷隆将其比喻为蜜蜂(and the prominence of his hips, together with his lack of belly, makes him appear cut in half like a wasp.)

对卡里耶身高的描述,刽子手桑松有具体说道:Carrier was a man of five feet seven。卡里耶有五尺七寸,大概是一米九的样子。卡里耶非常的瘦,而且非常驼背:thin and boney, very stooped。桑松认为卡里耶古铜的皮肤是晒出来的而非天生的。卡里耶有着高耸的颧骨,棱角分明的五官,宽大的嘴巴和紧闭的双眼。在桑松眼里,卡里耶不像一个恶魔,甚至可能只是一个平平无奇的高个子。

Jean Delmas提出了一个有意思的一点:in the midst of the elegant powdered wigs of the period, his untamed black curly hair hung loose。在那个时代优雅的扑粉假发中间,他那未驯服的黑色卷发松散地垂着。(机翻)

很难想象,如果我是南特的公民,见到高大的卡里耶朝我走来,他高大的就像他的权力一般。但他瘦弱的身躯让我们以为他不敢招惹我们,就算他敢招惹我们,我们也能打散他的骨头。但他那大大的鼻子如同空中掠食者老鹰的钩子抓住了我的命运,并用他那硕小的眼珠从鼻梁的两侧直直地蔑视我,我这时候才真正感到了害怕……
