She knows that and asks you for nothing; she says plainly that she dare not ask you. But I, all of us, her relatives, all who love her, beg you, entreat you. Why should she suffer?

You did promise it, you know."

“哦,不,哦,不,完全不是！请你理解我,”斯捷潘·阿尔卡季耶维奇说着,又碰了碰他的手,仿佛确信这种身体接触能软化他的连襟。“我只是说:她的处境无法忍受,而你可以缓解它,并且你什么也不会损失。我会为你安排好一切,让你注意不到。你知道,你曾经承诺过。”

Alexey Alexandrovitch, you are a good man. Put yourself in her position for a minute. The question of divorce for her in her position is a question of life and death. If you had not promised it once, she would have reconciled herself to her position, she would have gone on living in the country. But you promised it, and she wrote to you, and moved to Moscow. And here she's been for six months in Moscow, where every chance meeting cuts her to the heart, every day expecting an answer. Why, it's like keeping a condemned criminal for six months with the rope round his neck, promising him perhaps death, perhaps mercy. Have pity on her, and I will undertake to arrange everything. Vos scrupules..."

“她把一切都留给你去宽厚处理。她只求你一件事--把她从所处的无法忍受的困境中解救出来。她现在不要求儿子了。阿列克谢·亚历山德罗维奇,你是个好人。替她想想吧。离婚的问题对她来说生死攸关。如果你当初没有承诺过,她也许会安心于自己的处境,继续住在乡下。但你承诺了,她给你写了信,搬到了莫斯科。现在她在莫斯科已经六个月了,每次偶然相遇都让她心如刀割,每天都盼望着答复。这就像把一个判了死刑的犯人捆着绳索关上半年,让他时而盼着死亡,时而盼着宽恕。可怜可怜她吧,我会负责安排好一切。您的顾虑……”
