Crime and Punishment — Page 3

English → Japanese Preface Level 8/10

He had shown signs of some obscure nervous disease before his arrest and this now developed into violent attacks of epilepsy, from which he suffered for the rest of his life.

彼は逮捕される前からある不明瞭な神経疾患の兆候を示しており、これがやがて激しいてんかん発作へと発展し、その後の生涯にわたって苦しめられることになった。

The fits occurred three or four times a year and were more frequent in periods of great strain.

発作は年に三、四回起こり、極度の緊張状態が続く時期にはより頻繁に現れた。

In 1859 he was allowed to return to Russia.

1859年、彼はロシアへの帰国を許された。

He started a journal--"Vremya," which was forbidden by the Censorship through a misunderstanding.

彼は雑誌「ヴレーミャ」を創刊したが、誤解によって検閲当局に発禁処分とされた。

In 1864 he lost his first wife and his brother Mihail.

1864年、彼は最初の妻と兄ミハイルを亡くした。

He was in terrible poverty, yet he took upon himself the payment of his brother's debts.

彼はひどい貧困の中にあったが、それでも兄の借金の返済を自ら引き受けた。

He started another journal--"The Epoch," which within a few months was also prohibited.

彼はさらに別の雑誌「エポハ」を創刊したが、こちらも数ヶ月のうちに発禁となった。

He was weighed down by debt, his brother's family was dependent on him, he was forced to write at heart-breaking speed, and is said never to have corrected his work.

彼は借金に押しつぶされ、兄の家族を養わなければならず、胸が張り裂けるような速さで書き続けることを強いられ、自分の作品を一度も校正しなかったと言われている。

The later years of his life were much softened by the tenderness and devotion of his second wife.

彼の晩年は、二番目の妻の優しさと献身によって大いに和らげられた。

In June 1880 he made his famous speech at the unveiling of the monument to Pushkin in Moscow and he was received with extraordinary demonstrations of love and honour.

1880年6月、彼はモスクワで行われたプーシキン像の除幕式において有名な演説を行い、愛と敬意の並外れた表明をもって迎えられた。

A few months later Dostoevsky died.

その数ヶ月後、ドストエフスキーは亡くなった。

He was followed to the grave by a vast multitude of mourners, who "gave the hapless man the funeral of a king."

彼の墓には膨大な数の弔問者が続き、彼らは「その不運な男に王にふさわしい葬儀をささげた」と言われる。

He is still probably the most widely read writer in Russia.

彼は今もおそらくロシアで最も広く読まれている作家である。
