The Brothers Karamazov — Page 5
He did not begin to receive any income from Fyodor Pavlovitch until he came of age, and until then got into debt.
彼はフョードル・パーヴロヴィチから収入を受け取り始めたのは成年に達してからのことであり、それまでは借金を重ねていた。
He saw and knew his father, Fyodor Pavlovitch, for the first time on coming of age, when he visited our neighborhood on purpose to settle with him about his property.
彼が父フョードル・パーヴロヴィチに初めて会い、その存在を知ったのは成年に達した時のことであり、その際彼は財産の問題を解決するために私たちの近隣をわざわざ訪れたのであった。
He seems not to have liked his father.
彼は父親を好いていなかったようである。
He did not stay long with him, and made haste to get away, having only succeeded in obtaining a sum of money, and entering into an agreement for future payments from the estate, of the revenues and value of which he was unable (a fact worthy of note), upon this occasion, to get a statement from his father.
彼は父のもとに長く留まらず、急いで立ち去ったが、その際にある程度の金を受け取ることと、将来的に領地から支払いを受ける取り決めを結ぶことにしか成功しなかった。そしてこの機会に、その領地の収益や価値についての明細書を父から得ることができなかった（これは注目すべき事実である）。
Fyodor Pavlovitch remarked for the first time then (this, too, should be noted) that Mitya had a vague and exaggerated idea of his property.
フョードル・パーヴロヴィチはその時初めて（これもまた注目すべきことである）、ミーチャが自分の財産について漠然とした誇張された考えを持っていることに気づいた。
Fyodor Pavlovitch was very well satisfied with this, as it fell in with his own designs.
フョードル・パーヴロヴィチはこのことに大いに満足した。それが自分の思惑と合致していたからである。
He gathered only that the young man was frivolous, unruly, of violent passions, impatient, and dissipated, and that if he could only obtain ready money he would be satisfied, although only, of course, for a short time.
彼はただ、その若者が軽薄で、手に負えず、激しい情念を持ち、短気で放蕩であること、そして即金さえ手に入れれば満足するだろうが、それももちろんほんの短い間のことに過ぎないということを見て取っただけであった。
So Fyodor Pavlovitch began to take advantage of this fact, sending him from time to time small doles, installments.
そこでフョードル・パーヴロヴィチはこの事実を利用し始め、時折少額の小遣いを分割して送るようになった。
