他摆脱了他的长子

He Gets Rid Of His Eldest Son

你可以很容易地想象,这样一个人会是怎样的父亲,他会如何抚养自己的孩子。

You can easily imagine what a father such a man could be and how he would bring up his children.

他作为父亲的行为,正是人们所能预料到的。

His behavior as a father was exactly what might be expected.

他完全抛弃了与阿德莱达·伊万诺夫娜所生的孩子,这并非出于恶意,也并非因为婚姻上的委屈,而纯粹是因为他把这孩子忘了。

He completely abandoned the child of his marriage with Adelaïda Ivanovna, not from malice, nor because of his matrimonial grievances, but simply because he forgot him.

当他用泪水和抱怨令所有人厌烦、把家变成荒淫之所的时候,家中一位忠实的老仆人格里戈里,将三岁的米佳接到自己身边照料。

While he was wearying every one with his tears and complaints, and turning his house into a sink of debauchery, a faithful servant of the family, Grigory, took the three-year-old Mitya into his care.

如果不是他照看,甚至都没有人给孩子换衬衫。

If he hadn't looked after him there would have been no one even to change the baby's little shirt.

况且,孩子母亲那边的亲戚起初也把他忘了。

It happened moreover that the child's relations on his mother's side forgot him too at first.

他的外祖父已经去世,外祖母搬去了莫斯科,病得很重,而他的几个姨母都已出嫁,于是米佳在老格里戈里的照管下生活了将近整整一年,住在仆人的小屋里。

His grandfather was no longer living, his widow, Mitya's grandmother, had moved to Moscow, and was seriously ill, while his daughters were married, so that Mitya remained for almost a whole year in old Grigory's charge and lived with him in the servant's cottage.

但如果他父亲想起了他(事实上他也不可能完全不知道儿子的存在),也不过是把他打发回小屋,因为孩子只会妨碍他的荒淫生活。

But if his father had remembered him (he could not, indeed, have been altogether unaware of his existence) he would have sent him back to the cottage, as the child would only have been in the way of his debaucheries.

然而,米佳母亲的一位表兄彼得·亚历山德罗维奇·米乌索夫,恰好从巴黎回来了。

But a cousin of Mitya's mother, Pyotr Alexandrovitch Miüsov, happened to return from Paris.
