The Brothers Karamazov — Page 5
他在成年之前,一直没有从费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇那里得到任何收入,在此之前一直负债累累。
He did not begin to receive any income from Fyodor Pavlovitch until he came of age, and until then got into debt.
他在成年后第一次见到并认识了他的父亲费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇,那时他专程来到我们这一带,为的是与父亲商议财产事宜。
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.
他似乎并不喜欢自己的父亲。
He seems not to have liked his father.
他没有在父亲那里久留,急着脱身离去,只是弄到了一笔钱,并签了一份关于今后从庄园按期付款的协议,而他却未能(这一点值得注意)在这次见面时从父亲那里取得一份关于庄园收益和价值的说明。
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.
费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇当时第一次注意到(这一点也应当指出),米佳对自己财产的估计模糊而夸大。
Fyodor Pavlovitch remarked for the first time then (this, too, should be noted) that Mitya had a vague and exaggerated idea of his property.
费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇对此非常满意,因为这正好符合他自己的打算。
Fyodor Pavlovitch was very well satisfied with this, as it fell in with his own designs.
他只是觉察到这个年轻人轻浮放荡、桀骜不驯、情绪激烈、性子急躁、行为放荡,只要能弄到现钱便会心满意足——当然,那也只能满足一时之需。
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.
于是费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇便开始利用这一点,不时地给他送去少量的零钱,分批付给他。
So Fyodor Pavlovitch began to take advantage of this fact, sending him from time to time small doles, installments.
