Crime and Punishment — Page 10
「我下个月再给你利息，请再等一等。」
"I will bring you the interest for another month; wait a little."
「但这由我说了算，我的好先生，等还是立刻把你的抵押品卖掉。」
"But that's for me to do as I please, my good sir, to wait or to sell your pledge at once."
「你会给我多少钱换这块表，阿廖娜·伊万诺芙娜？」
"How much will you give me for the watch, Alyona Ivanovna?"
「你拿来的都是些小东西，我的好先生，这几乎不值什么。上次你的戒指我给了你两卢布，而那戒指在珠宝店里花一卢布半就能买到全新的。」
"You come with such trifles, my good sir, it's scarcely worth anything. I gave you two roubles last time for your ring and one could buy it quite new at a jeweler's for a rouble and a half."
「给我四卢布，我会把它赎回来，这是我父亲留下的。我很快就会有钱的。」
"Give me four roubles for it, I shall redeem it, it was my father's. I shall be getting some money soon."
「一卢布半，如果你愿意的话，利息先付！」
"A rouble and a half, and interest in advance, if you like!"
「一卢布半！」那年轻人叫道。
"A rouble and a half!" cried the young man.
「随你便」——老妇人把表还给了他。年轻人接过表，气得差点转身离去，但立刻忍住了，想起他无处可去，而且他来这里还有另一个目的。
"Please yourself"--and the old woman handed him back the watch. The young man took it, and was so angry that he was on the point of going away; but checked himself at once, remembering that there was nowhere else he could go, and that he had had another object also in coming.
「拿去吧，」他粗声说道。
"Hand it over," he said roughly.
老妇人在口袋里摸索着钥匙，然后消失在帘子后面，走进另一个房间。年轻人独自站在房间中央，好奇地倾听着，若有所思。他能听到她打开抽屉柜的声音。
The old woman fumbled in her pocket for her keys, and disappeared behind the curtain into the other room. The young man, left standing alone in the middle of the room, listened inquisitively, thinking. He could hear her unlocking the chest of drawers.
「一定是最上面那个抽屉，」他心想。
"It must be the top drawer," he reflected.
