在被捕之前,他就已经显露出某种神经系统疾病的迹象,而这种病在此后发展成为剧烈的癫痫发作,令他在余生中饱受折磨。

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.

癫痫每年发作三四次,在压力极大的时期发作则更为频繁。

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

1859年,他获准返回俄国。

他创办了一份杂志——《时代》,却因一场误会而遭审查机构查禁。

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

1864年,他相继失去了他的第一任妻子和兄弟米哈伊尔。

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

他身处极度贫困之中,却仍主动承担起偿还兄弟债务的责任。

他又创办了另一份杂志——《时代纪元》,但在短短几个月内也遭到了查禁。

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

他债台高筑,兄弟的家人都依赖他生活,他被迫以令人心碎的速度拼命写作,据说从未修改过自己的作品。

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.

他晚年的生活因第二任妻子温柔体贴的爱护与陪伴而大为改善。

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

1880年6月,他在莫斯科普希金纪念碑揭幕典礼上发表了那篇著名的演讲,受到了人们以爱戴与荣耀为主题的盛大热情欢迎。

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.

几个月后,陀思妥耶夫斯基与世长辞。

A few months later Dostoevsky died.

送他入土的是一大批送葬的人群,他们"给予了这位不幸的人以帝王般的葬礼"。

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

时至今日,他很可能仍是俄国读者最为广泛的作家。

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