The Brothers Karamazov — Page 5
在间隙期间，他常常驱车走遍全省，含泪向每一个人诉说阿德拉伊达·伊万诺夫娜离他而去的事，甚至说出了一些丈夫不该提及的有关自己婚姻生活的丢人细节。
In the intervals he used to drive all over the province, complaining tearfully to each and all of Adelaïda Ivanovna's having left him, going into details too disgraceful for a husband to mention in regard to his own married life.
最让他感到满足、最能抚慰他自尊心的，似乎是扮演那个可笑的受害丈夫的角色，并绘声绘色地展示自己的苦难。
What seemed to gratify him and flatter his self-love most was to play the ridiculous part of the injured husband, and to parade his woes with embellishments.
嘲笑他的人对他说："费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇，人家还以为你升官了呢，你看起来悲痛之中竟还这般高兴。"
"One would think that you'd got a promotion, Fyodor Pavlovitch, you seem so pleased in spite of your sorrow," scoffers said to him.
甚至有许多人说，他不过是高兴找到了一个新的滑稽角色来扮演小丑，而他假装不知道自己处境的可笑，不过是为了让这出戏更加好笑罢了。
Many even added that he was glad of a new comic part in which to play the buffoon, and that it was simply to make it funnier that he pretended to be unaware of his ludicrous position.
但是，谁又说得准呢，这也许只是他天性的单纯而已。
But, who knows, it may have been simplicity.
终于，他找到了出走妻子的下落。
At last he succeeded in getting on the track of his runaway wife.
这个可怜的女人原来在彼得堡，她与那个神学院学生一同去了那里，并在那里投身于一种彻底放纵的生活。
The poor woman turned out to be in Petersburg, where she had gone with her divinity student, and where she had thrown herself into a life of complete emancipation.
费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇立刻忙碌起来，准备动身前往彼得堡，至于去那里究竟为了什么，他自己也说不清楚。
Fyodor Pavlovitch at once began bustling about, making preparations to go to Petersburg, with what object he could not himself have said.
也许他真的会成行；但是，一旦下定了决心，他便觉得自己有充分的理由在出发前再来一场肆无忌惮的豪饮，以此为旅途壮行。
He would perhaps have really gone; but having determined to do so he felt at once entitled to fortify himself for the journey by another bout of reckless drinking.
就在这个时候，他妻子的娘家人收到了她在彼得堡去世的消息。
And just at that time his wife's family received the news of her death in Petersburg.
