因为她是个性情火爆、胆大刚烈、浓眉深目、急躁易怒的女人，体力也异常强健。
for she was a hot-tempered, bold, dark-browed, impatient woman, possessed of remarkable physical strength.
最终，她离家出走，抛弃了费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇，跟一个一贫如洗的神学院学生私奔而去，将三岁的孩子米佳留在了丈夫手中。
Finally, she left the house and ran away from Fyodor Pavlovitch with a destitute divinity student, leaving Mitya, a child of three years old, in her husband's hands.
