听说了关于阿德莱达·伊万诺夫娜的一切——他当然还记得她,曾经对她有过兴趣——又得知米佳的存在,他便出面干预了,尽管他对费多尔·巴甫洛维奇充满了年轻人的愤慨与蔑视。

Hearing all about Adelaïda Ivanovna, whom he, of course, remembered, and in whom he had at one time been interested, and learning of the existence of Mitya, he intervened, in spite of all his youthful indignation and contempt for Fyodor Pavlovitch.

他与费多尔·巴甫洛维奇初次相识,便直截了当地告诉他,自己希望承担抚养这个孩子的责任。

He made the latter's acquaintance for the first time, and told him directly that he wished to undertake the child's education.

他后来常常提起一个颇具代表性的细节:当他开始谈到米佳时,费多尔·巴甫洛维奇有好一阵子一副茫然的神情,仿佛根本不明白他说的是哪个孩子,甚至像是对家里还有个小儿子这件事感到吃惊。

He used long afterwards to tell as a characteristic touch, that when he began to speak of Mitya, Fyodor Pavlovitch looked for some time as though he did not understand what child he was talking about, and even as though he was surprised to hear that he had a little son in the house.

这个故事或许有些夸张,但也八九不离十。

The story may have been exaggerated, yet it must have been something like the truth.

费多尔·巴甫洛维奇一生都喜欢表演,喜欢突然扮演一个出人意料的角色,有时毫无缘由,甚至对自己明显不利,就如眼下这件事一样。

Fyodor Pavlovitch was all his life fond of acting, of suddenly playing an unexpected part, sometimes without any motive for doing so, and even to his own direct disadvantage, as, for instance, in the present case.

然而,这种习性在许多人身上都相当普遍,其中不乏非常聪明之人,并不只有费多尔·巴甫洛维奇这样的人才如此。

This habit, however, is characteristic of a very great number of people, some of them very clever ones, not like Fyodor Pavlovitch.

彼得·亚历山德罗维奇大力推动了此事,并与费多尔·巴甫洛维奇共同被任命为孩子的监护人——这个孩子名下有一小笔财产,包括他母亲留给他的一所房子和一块土地。

Pyotr Alexandrovitch carried the business through vigorously, and was appointed, with Fyodor Pavlovitch, joint guardian of the child, who had a small property, a house and land, left him by his mother.
