The Brothers Karamazov — Page 2
He lived for many years afterwards abroad, but was at that time quite a young man, and distinguished among the Miüsovs as a man of enlightened ideas and of European culture, who had been in the capitals and abroad.
彼はその後何年もの間外国に住んでいたが、当時はまだ非常に若く、首都や外国に滞在したことのある、開明的な思想とヨーロッパ的教養を持つ人物として、ミウーソフ家の中でも際立った存在であった。
Towards the end of his life he became a Liberal of the type common in the forties and fifties.
晩年になると、彼は四十年代から五十年代によく見られたタイプの自由主義者となった。
In the course of his career he had come into contact with many of the most Liberal men of his epoch, both in Russia and abroad.
その生涯を通じて、彼はロシア国内および外国において、その時代の最も著名な自由主義者たちの多くと交流を持った。
He had known Proudhon and Bakunin personally, and in his declining years was very fond of describing the three days of the Paris Revolution of February 1848, hinting that he himself had almost taken part in the fighting on the barricades.
彼はプルードンやバクーニンと個人的に交流があり、晩年には1848年2月のパリ革命の三日間について語るのをことのほか好み、自分自身もバリケードでの戦闘にほとんど加わりかけたと匂わせた。
This was one of the most grateful recollections of his youth.
これは彼の青年時代の最も懐かしい思い出の一つであった。
He had an independent property of about a thousand souls, to reckon in the old style.
旧来の計算で言えば、彼はおよそ千人の農奴を擁する独立した財産を持っていた。
His splendid estate lay on the outskirts of our little town and bordered on the lands of our famous monastery, with which Pyotr Alexandrovitch began an endless lawsuit, almost as soon as he came into the estate, concerning the rights of fishing in the river or wood-cutting in the forest, I don't know exactly which.
彼の壮麗な領地は私たちの小さな町の郊外に位置し、有名な修道院の土地と隣接していた。ピョートル・アレクサンドロヴィチは領地を相続するやいなや、川での漁業権か森での伐採権か、どちらであったか正確にはわからないが、その修道院との間に果てしない訴訟を起こした。
He regarded it as his duty as a citizen and a man of culture to open an attack upon the "clericals.
彼は「聖職者ども」に攻撃を仕掛けることを、市民としてまた教養ある人間としての自らの義務と見なしていた。
