🔊 There are no conditions to which a man cannot become used, especially if he sees that all around him are living in the same way. Levin could not have believed three months before that he could have gone quietly to sleep in the condition in which he was that day, that leading an aimless, irrational life, living too beyond his means, after drinking to excess (he could not call what happened at the club anything else), forming inappropriately friendly relations with a man with whom his wife had once been in love, and a still more inappropriate call upon a woman who could only be called a lost woman, after being fascinated by that woman and causing his wife distress-he could still go quietly to sleep. But under the influence of fatigue, a sleepless night, and the wine he had drunk, his sleep was sound and untroubled.

人没有不能适应的环境,尤其是当他看到周围所有人都过着同样的生活时。三个月前,列文根本不敢相信,自己竟能像那天那样,在那种状态下安然入睡--过着毫无目标、毫无理性的生活,入不敷出,饮酒过量（他只能这样称呼在俱乐部发生的事）,与一个妻子曾爱过的男人建立不恰当的交情,还去拜访一个只能被称为失足女人的女人,并为她着迷,惹得妻子伤心--之后他居然还能安然入睡。但在疲劳、一夜未眠和喝下的酒的作用下,他睡得又沉又安稳。

🔊 And getting into bed, she blew out the candle, lay down and was still. Though he thought her stillness suspicious, as though she were holding her breath, and still more suspicious the expression of peculiar tenderness and excitement with which, as she came from behind the screen, she said "nothing," he was so sleepy that he fell asleep at once. Only later he remembered the stillness of her breathing, and understood all that must have been passing in her sweet, precious heart while she lay beside him, not stirring, in anticipation of the greatest event in a woman's life.

她上了床,吹灭蜡烛,躺下,一动不动。尽管他觉得她静得可疑,仿佛在屏住呼吸,更可疑的是她走出屏风时说的那声“没什么”,脸上带着异样的温柔和兴奋,但他实在太困了,立刻就睡着了。只是后来,他才记起她呼吸的静止,明白当她躺在他身边,一动不动,等待一个女人一生中最重大的事件时,她那可爱、珍贵的心中一定经历了怎样的波澜。

🔊 Though there was so little that was complex or artificial in Kitty's character in general, Levin was struck by what was revealed now, when suddenly all disguises were thrown off and the very kernel of her soul shone in her eyes. And in this simplicity and nakedness of her soul, she, the very woman he loved in her, was more manifest than ever. She looked at him, smiling; but all at once her brows twitched, she threw up her head, and going quickly up to him, clutched his hand and pressed close up to him, breathing her hot breath upon him. She was in pain and was, as it were, complaining to him of her suffering. And for the first minute, from habit, it seemed to him that he was to blame. But in her eyes there was a tenderness that told him that she was far from reproaching him, that she loved him for her sufferings. "If not I, who is to blame for it?" he thought unconsciously, seeking someone responsible for this suffering for him to punish; but there was no one responsible. She was suffering, complaining, and triumphing in her sufferings, and rejoicing in them, and loving them. He saw that something sublime was being accomplished in her soul, but what? He could not make it out. It was beyond his understanding.

尽管基蒂的性格总体上很少复杂和做作,但当所有伪装突然卸去,她灵魂的核心在她眼中闪耀时,列文被眼前显露的一切深深打动了。在这灵魂的简单和裸露中,他爱的这个女人比以往任何时候都更加分明。她看着他,微笑着；但突然她的眉头抽动了一下,她扬起头,迅速走到他面前,抓住他的手,紧紧贴在他身上,把滚烫的气息吐在他脸上。她在痛苦,仿佛在向他诉说她的痛苦。最初那一刻,出于习惯,他觉得自己有责任。但她的眼神里有一种温柔,表明她远不是在责备他,而是因为她的痛苦而爱他。“如果不是我,那该怪谁呢？”他下意识地想,寻找那个该为这痛苦负责、可以让他惩罚的人；但没有人负责。她痛苦着,抱怨着,却又在痛苦中得意,为之喜悦,为之热爱。他看见某种崇高的事情正在她灵魂中完成,但那是什么？他无法理解。这超出了他的理解范围。
