Anna Karenina — Page 3

English → Chinese Chapter 1 Level 7/10

" And noticing a gleam of light peeping in beside one of the serge curtains, he cheerfully dropped his feet over the edge of the sofa, and felt about with them for his slippers, a present on his last birthday, worked for him by his wife on gold-colored morocco.

注意到一缕光线从哔叽窗帘旁边透进来，他愉快地把双脚从沙发边垂下，用脚四处摸索着他的拖鞋——那是他上次生日时收到的礼物，是他妻子用金色摩洛哥皮革为他亲手缝制的。

And, as he had done every day for the last nine years, he stretched out his hand, without getting up, towards the place where his dressing-gown always hung in his bedroom.

而且，就像他过去九年来每天所做的那样，他没有起身，便伸手向着卧室里晨衣常挂的地方摸去。

And thereupon he suddenly remembered that he was not sleeping in his wife's room, but in his study, and why: the smile vanished from his face, he knitted his brows.

然而随即他突然想起，他并不是睡在妻子的房间里，而是在书房里，也想起了原因：笑容从他脸上消失了，他皱起了眉头。

"Ah, ah, ah! Oo!..." he muttered, recalling everything that had happened.

「啊，啊，啊！哦……」他喃喃自语，回想着所发生的一切。

And again every detail of his quarrel with his wife was present to his imagination, all the hopelessness of his position, and worst of all, his own fault.

他与妻子争吵的每一个细节再次浮现在脑海中，他处境的毫无希望，以及最糟糕的——他自己的过错。

"Yes, she won't forgive me, and she can't forgive me.

「是的，她不会原谅我，她也无法原谅我。

And the most awful thing about it is that it's all my fault—all my fault, though I'm not to blame.

而最可怕的是，这一切都是我的错——都是我的错，尽管我并不该受责备。

That's the point of the whole situation," he reflected.

这正是整个局面的关键所在，」他沉思道。

"Oh, oh, oh!" he kept repeating in despair, as he remembered the acutely painful sensations caused him by this quarrel.

「哦，哦，哦！」他绝望地一再重复，心中想起这场争吵带给他的那种刺骨的痛苦感受。
