Anna Karenina — Page 5
Catching sight of that smile, Dolly shuddered as though at physical pain, broke out with her characteristic heat into a flood of cruel words, and rushed out of the room.
その微笑みを見て、ドリーは肉体的な痛みを受けたかのように身震いし、彼女特有の激しさで残酷な言葉を浴びせかけ、部屋から飛び出した。
Since then she had refused to see her husband.
それ以来、彼女は夫に会うことを拒んでいた。
"It's that idiotic smile that's to blame for it all," thought Stepan Arkadyevitch.
「すべての原因はあの馬鹿げた微笑みにある」とスチェパン・アルカジエヴィッチは思った。
"But what's to be done? What's to be done?" he said to himself in despair, and found no answer.
「しかし、どうすればいいのか？どうすればいいのか？」と彼は絶望のうちに自問したが、答えは見つからなかった。
