Crime and Punishment — Page 9

English → Chinese CHAPTER I Level 8/10

The furniture, all very old and of yellow wood, consisted of a sofa with a huge bent wooden back, an oval table in front of the sofa, a dressing-table with a looking-glass fixed on it between the windows, chairs along the walls and two or three half-penny prints in yellow frames, representing German damsels with birds in their hands--that was all.

家具全都很旧，用黄色木料制成，包括一张带有巨大弯曲木背的沙发，沙发前面一张椭圆形桌子，两窗之间一张附有镜子的梳妆台，沿墙摆着椅子，还有两三幅黄色镜框里的廉价版画，画的是手持飞鸟的德国少女——仅此而已。

In the corner a light was burning before a small ikon.

角落里一盏小灯在圣像前燃烧着。

Everything was very clean; the floor and the furniture were brightly polished; everything shone.

一切都非常干净；地板和家具都擦得锃亮；万物闪闪发光。

"Lizaveta's work," thought the young man.

「这是丽扎薇塔的功劳，」年轻人心想。

There was not a speck of dust to be seen in the whole flat.

整间公寓里看不到一粒灰尘。

"It's in the houses of spiteful old widows that one finds such cleanliness," Raskolnikov thought again, and he stole a curious glance at the cotton curtain over the door leading into another tiny room, in which stood the old woman's bed and chest of drawers and into which he had never looked before.

「只有在刻薄的老寡妇家里才能见到这样的整洁，」拉斯柯尔尼科夫再次心想，他偷偷地好奇地瞥了一眼通往另一间小屋的门上的棉布帘子，那间小屋里放着老妇人的床和五斗橱，他以前从未看过里面。

These two rooms made up the whole flat.

这两间屋子构成了整套公寓。

"What do you want?" the old woman said severely, coming into the room and, as before, standing in front of him so as to look him straight in the face.

「你想要什么？」老妇人严厉地说，走进房间，像以前一样站在他面前，直视着他的脸。

"I've brought something to pawn here," and he drew out of his pocket an old-fashioned flat silver watch, on the back of which was engraved a globe; the chain was of steel.

「我带了件东西来典当，」他从口袋里掏出一块老式的扁平银表，表背上刻着一个地球图案；表链是钢制的。

"But the time is up for your last pledge. The month was up the day before yesterday.

「但是你上次典当的期限已经到了。期限是前天到期的。
