Then a good-humored and rather pitiful smile showed itself on his handsome face.

然后，一个和蔼而略带怜悯的微笑出现在他英俊的脸上。

"Eh, Matvey?" he said, shaking his head.

「哎，马特维？」他摇着头说道。

"It's all right, sir; she will come round," said Matvey.

「没事的，老爷；她会想通的，」马特维说。

"Come round?"

「想通？」

"Yes, sir."

「是的，老爷。」

"Do you think so? Who's there?" asked Stepan Arkadyevitch, hearing the rustle of a woman's dress at the door.

「你这么认为？那是谁？」斯捷潘·阿尔卡季耶维奇听到门口传来女裙的窸窣声，问道。

"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.

「是我，」一个坚定而悦耳的女声说道，随即保姆马特罗娜·菲利莫诺夫娜那张严肃而麻脸的面孔探入了门口。

"Well, what is it, Matrona?" queried Stepan Arkadyevitch, going up to her at the door.

「哎，什么事，马特罗娜？」斯捷潘·阿尔卡季耶维奇走到门口问道。

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.

尽管斯捷潘·阿尔卡季耶维奇对待妻子完全是错的，他自己也意识到这一点，但家里几乎所有人（甚至连达丽娅·亚历山德罗夫娜的主要支持者、保姆）都站在他这边。

"Well, what now?" he asked disconsolately.

「那么，现在怎么了？」他沮丧地问道。

"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...."

「去找她吧，老爷；再次承认您的过错。也许上帝会帮助您。她受苦受得很厉害，看着她真让人难受；而且，家里一切都乱成了一团。您得怜悯那些孩子们，老爷。求她原谅您吧，老爷。没有别的办法！人必须承担后果……」

"But she won't see me."

「但她不肯见我。」

"You do your part. God is merciful; pray to God, sir, pray to God."

「您尽到自己的本分。上帝是仁慈的；向上帝祈祷吧，老爷，向上帝祈祷吧。」

"Come, that'll do, you can go," said Stepan Arkadyevitch, blushing suddenly.

「好了，够了，你可以去了，」斯捷潘·阿尔卡季耶维奇说，脸色突然红了起来。

"Well now, do dress me." He turned to Matvey and threw off his dressing-gown decisively.

「好了，来帮我穿衣服。」他转向马特维，果断地脱下了睡袍。
