Crime and Punishment — Page 9
家具都很旧，木头是黄色的，包括一张靠背很大、弯曲的木沙发，沙发前面有一张椭圆形桌子，两扇窗户之间摆着一张镶有镜子的梳妆台，椅子靠墙摆放，墙上还挂着两三幅廉价的黄色框画，画的是手持小鸟的德国少女——就这些了。
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.
角落里一盏小灯在圣像前燃烧着。一切都非常干净；地板和家具都擦得锃亮，到处闪闪发光。
In the corner a light was burning before a small ikon. Everything was very clean; the floor and the furniture were brightly polished; everything shone.
年轻人心想："这是丽扎薇塔干的。"整间公寓里看不到一粒灰尘。
"Lizaveta's work," thought the young man. There was not a speck of dust to be seen in the whole flat.
拉斯科尔尼科夫又想："只有那些刻薄的老寡妇家里才会这么干净。"他悄悄地好奇地瞥了一眼通往另一间小屋门口的棉布帘子，那间小屋里放着老妇人的床和五斗橱，他以前从未往里看过。这两间屋子构成了整套公寓。
"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. These two rooms made up the whole flat.
老妇人走进屋来，像先前一样站在他面前，直视着他的脸，严厉地问道："你要什么？"
"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.
他说："我带了件东西来当押，"随即从口袋里掏出一块老式的扁平银怀表，表背上刻着一个地球图案，表链是钢制的。
"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.
"但是你上次典当的期限已经到了。前天就已经到期了。"
"But the time is up for your last pledge. The month was up the day before yesterday.
