🔊 In spite of these words and this smile, which so frightened Varya, when the inflammation was over and he began to recover, he felt that he was completely free from one part of his misery. By his action he had, as it were, washed away the shame and humiliation he had felt before. He could now think calmly of Alexey Alexandrovitch. He recognized all his magnanimity, but he did not now feel himself humiliated by it. Besides, he got back again into the beaten track of his life. He saw the possibility of looking men in the face again without shame, and he could live in accordance with his own habits. One thing he could not pluck out of his heart, though he never ceased struggling with it, was the regret, amounting to despair, that he had lost her forever. That now, having expiated his sin against the husband, he was bound to renounce her, and never in future to stand between her with her repentance and her husband, he had firmly decided in his heart; but he could not tear out of his heart his regret at the loss of her love, he could not erase from his memory those moments of happiness that he had so little prized at the time, and that haunted him in all their charm.

尽管这些话和这微笑让瓦里娅十分害怕,但当炎症消退,他开始康复时,他觉得自己已经彻底摆脱了一部分痛苦。他的这一举动仿佛洗刷了他先前感受到的羞耻和屈辱。现在他可以平静地想起阿列克谢·亚历山德罗维奇了。他承认对方的高尚,但自己不再因此感到低人一等。此外,他又回到了生活的正轨。他看到了能够再次坦然面对他人目光的可能性,可以按照自己的习惯生活。然而有一件事,他始终无法从心中拔除,尽管他不断与之抗争,那就是永失她爱的悔恨,几乎令人绝望。他心中已下定决心:既然已经为自己对丈夫的罪付出了代价,他就必须放弃她,今后再也不能妨碍她带着悔恨回到丈夫身边；但他无法从心中抹去失去她爱的遗憾,也无法从记忆中抹去那些他当时未曾珍惜、如今却以其全部魅力萦绕心头的幸福时刻。
