The Brothers Karamazov — Page 6

Chinese → English Chapter II. Level 8/10

最终,四年后,米佳失去了耐心,第二次来到我们的小镇,想要与父亲彻底了结此事,然而令他大为吃惊的是,他什么也没有得到。

In the end, when four years later, Mitya, losing patience, came a second time to our little town to settle up once for all with his father, it turned out to his amazement that he had nothing,

甚至连一份账目都难以得到,他早已从费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇那里以现金的形式收取了全部财产的价值,

that it was difficult to get an account even, that he had received the whole value of his property in sums of money from Fyodor Pavlovitch,

甚至可能还欠着他的债,而且由于他此前在不同时期出于自愿签订的各种协议,他没有权利期望再得到任何东西,诸如此类。

and was perhaps even in debt to him, that by various agreements into which he had, of his own desire, entered at various previous dates, he had no right to expect anything more, and so on, and so on.

这个年轻人深受打击,怀疑遭到了欺骗和诈取,几乎失去了理智。

The young man was overwhelmed, suspected deceit and cheating, and was almost beside himself.

而事实上,正是这一情况导致了那场灾难,对此事的叙述构成了我第一篇引言故事的主题,或者更确切地说,是其外部的一面。

And, indeed, this circumstance led to the catastrophe, the account of which forms the subject of my first introductory story, or rather the external side of it.

但在进入那个故事之前,我必须先简单介绍一下费奥多尔·巴甫洛维奇的另外两个儿子,以及他们的身世来历。

But before I pass to that story I must say a little of Fyodor Pavlovitch's other two sons, and of their origin.
