Crime and Punishment — Page 4
In the words of a Russian critic, who seeks to explain the feeling inspired by Dostoevsky:
用一位俄罗斯评论家的话来说，他试图解释陀思妥耶夫斯基所激发的那种情感：
"He was one of ourselves, a man of our blood and our bone, but one who has suffered and has seen so much more deeply than we have his insight impresses us as wisdom...
「他是我们中的一员，与我们血脉相连、骨肉相通，但他所经历的苦难与所看透的一切远比我们深刻，他的洞察力在我们眼中宛如智慧……
that wisdom of the heart which we seek that we may learn from it how to live.
那是一种心灵的智慧，是我们所追寻的，为的是从中学会如何生活。
All his other gifts came to him from nature, this he won for himself and through it he became great.
他所有其他的天赋都来自天性，唯有这一点是他自己赢得的，也正是凭借这一点，他成就了伟大。"
