Anna Karenina — Page 5
Then a good-humored and rather pitiful smile showed itself on his handsome face.
すると、穏やかで、どこか哀れみを帯びた微笑が、彼の端正な顔に浮かんだ。
"Eh, Matvey?" he said, shaking his head.
「なあ、マトヴェイ？」彼は首を振りながら言った。
"It's all right, sir; she will come round," said Matvey.
「大丈夫でございます、旦那様。奥様もきっとお気持ちが変わりますよ」とマトヴェイは言った。
"Come round?"
「気持ちが変わる？」
"Yes, sir."
「はい、旦那様。」
"Do you think so? Who's there?" asked Stepan Arkadyevitch, hearing the rustle of a woman's dress at the door.
「そう思うか？誰だ、そこにいるのは？」スチェパン・アルカジエヴィチは、戸口で女のドレスの衣擦れの音を聞きつけて尋ねた。
"It's I," said a firm, pleasant, woman's voice, and the stern, pockmarked face of Matrona Philimonovna, the nurse, was thrust in at the doorway.
「私でございます」と、しっかりとした、感じのよい女の声がして、乳母のマトリョーナ・フィリモノヴナの厳めしい、あばた面が戸口からのぞいた。
"Well, what is it, Matrona?" queried Stepan Arkadyevitch, going up to her at the door.
「で、何だね、マトリョーナ？」スチェパン・アルカジエヴィチは戸口まで歩み寄って尋ねた。
Although Stepan Arkadyevitch was completely in the wrong as regards his wife, and was conscious of this himself, almost everyone in the house (even the nurse, Darya Alexandrovna's chief ally) was on his side.
スチェパン・アルカジエヴィチは妻に対して完全に非があり、自分でもそれを自覚していたが、家の中のほとんど全員が（ダーリヤ・アレクサンドロヴナの最大の味方である乳母でさえ）彼の側についていた。
"Well, what now?" he asked disconsolately.
「で、今度は何だ？」彼はしょんぼりとして尋ねた。
"Go to her, sir; own your fault again. Maybe God will aid you. She is suffering so, it's sad to see her; and besides, everything in the house is topsy-turvy. You must have pity, sir, on the children. Beg her forgiveness, sir. There's no help for it! One must take the consequences...."
「奥様のところへいらしてください、旦那様。もう一度ご自分の非をお認めになってください。神様がお力添えくださるかもしれません。奥様はたいそうお苦しみで、見ていても気の毒なほどでございます。それに、家の中も何もかもめちゃくちゃでございます。お子さんたちのことも、どうかお考えください、旦那様。奥様にお許しを乞うてください、旦那様。仕方がないのです！自分のしたことの報いは受けなければなりません……」
"But she won't see me."
「だが、彼女は会ってくれないじゃないか。」
"You do your part. God is merciful; pray to God, sir, pray to God."
「旦那様はご自分のなすべきことをなさってください。神様はお慈悲深い方です。神様にお祈りなさい、旦那様、神様にお祈りなさい。」
"Come, that'll do, you can go," said Stepan Arkadyevitch, blushing suddenly.
「もういい、下がっていなさい」スチェパン・アルカジエヴィチは急に顔を赤らめながら言った。
"Well now, do dress me." He turned to Matvey and threw off his dressing-gown decisively.
「さあ、着替えを手伝ってくれ。」彼はマトヴェイの方を向き、きっぱりとガウンを脱ぎ捨てた。
