Crime and Punishment — Page 5
它看起来荒唐可笑，这反而使它引人注目……穿着这身破烂，我应该戴顶便帽，随便什么旧帽子都行，但偏偏不该戴这顶怪模怪样的东西。没有人戴这种帽子，老远就能看见，让人过目不忘……关键是人们会记住它，这就给了他们一条线索。
It looks absurd and that makes it noticeable.... With my rags I ought to wear a cap, any sort of old pancake, but not this grotesque thing. Nobody wears such a hat, it would be noticed a mile off, it would be remembered.... What matters is that people would remember it, and that would give them a clue.
做这件事，一个人应该尽量不引人注意……细节，细节才是关键！正是这些细节，每次都会把一切都毁掉……"
For this business one should be as little conspicuous as possible.... Trifles, trifles are what matter! Why, it's just such trifles that always ruin everything...."
他不需要走多远；他甚至知道从他的公寓大门到目的地有多少步：整整七百三十步。他曾经数过一次，那时他沉浸在幻想之中。
He had not far to go; he knew indeed how many steps it was from the gate of his lodging house: exactly seven hundred and thirty. He had counted them once when he had been lost in dreams.
那时候他对那些梦想毫无信心，不过是用那些可怕而又大胆的妄想来折磨自己。
At the time he had put no faith in those dreams and was only tantalising himself by their hideous but daring recklessness.
如今，一个月后，他开始以不同的眼光看待这些想法，尽管他在独白中嘲笑自己的软弱无能和优柔寡断，他还是不由自主地开始把这个"可怕的"梦想视为一项值得尝试的壮举，尽管他自己尚未意识到这一点。
Now, a month later, he had begun to look upon them differently, and, in spite of the monologues in which he jeered at his own impotence and indecision, he had involuntarily come to regard this "hideous" dream as an exploit to be attempted, although he still did not realise this himself.
他现在实实在在地是去对他的计划进行一次"预演"，而且每走一步，他内心的激动就愈发强烈。
He was positively going now for a "rehearsal" of his project, and at every step his excitement grew more and more violent.
他心跳加速，浑身颤抖，走近一栋巨大的房屋，这栋房屋一侧临着运河，另一侧面向街道。
With a sinking heart and a nervous tremor, he went up to a huge house which on one side looked on to the canal, and on the other into the street.
