🔊 In June the battle of Friedland was fought, in which the Pávlograds did not take part, and after that an armistice was proclaimed.

Glancing in at the door, Rostóv saw that the sick and wounded were lying on the floor on straw and overcoats.

罗斯托夫和医助走进昏暗的走廊。那里的气味如此浓烈,罗斯托夫不得不捂住鼻子,停下脚步深吸一口气才能继续前行。右边一扇门开了,一个骨瘦如柴、面色蜡黄的男人拄着拐杖,赤着脚,穿着内衣,一瘸一拐地走出来,靠在门框上,用闪闪发光的嫉妒目光注视着过往的人。罗斯托夫朝门里瞥了一眼,看到伤病员们躺在地板上的稻草和大衣上。

🔊 In the long room, brightly lit up by the sun through the large windows, the sick and wounded lay in two rows with their heads to the walls, and leaving a passage in the middle. Most of them were unconscious and paid no attention to the newcomers. Those who were conscious raised themselves or lifted their thin yellow faces, and all looked intently at Rostóv with the same expression of hope, of relief, reproach, and envy of another’s health. Rostóv went to the middle of the room and looking through the open doors into the two adjoining rooms saw the same thing there. He stood still, looking silently around. He had not at all expected such a sight. Just before him, almost across the middle of the passage on the bare floor, lay a sick man, probably a Cossack to judge by the cut of his hair. The man lay on his back, his huge arms and legs outstretched. His face was purple, his eyes were rolled back so that only the whites were seen, and on his bare legs and arms which were still red, the veins stood out like cords. He was knocking the back of his head against the floor, hoarsely uttering some word which he kept repeating. Rostóv listened and made out the word. It was “drink, drink, a drink!” Rostóv glanced round, looking for someone who would put this man back in his place and bring him water.

在这个长长的房间里,阳光透过大窗户照得通亮,伤病员们头朝墙壁排成两列,中间留出一条通道。大多数人昏迷不醒,没有注意到来人。那些清醒的则挣扎着坐起来,或抬起消瘦蜡黄的脸庞,全都用同样的表情--希望、解脱、责备和对他人健康的嫉妒--紧紧盯着罗斯托夫。罗斯托夫走到房间中央,透过敞开的门看到两间相邻的房间里也是同样的情景。他站住不动,默默环视四周。他完全没有料到会看到这样的景象。就在他面前,几乎就在通道中央的光地板上,躺着一个病人,从发型看大概是个哥萨克。他仰面躺着,巨大的手臂和腿伸展开来。脸色发紫,眼睛向上翻,只露出眼白；裸露的腿和手臂还泛红,青筋像绳索一样凸起。他正用后脑勺敲击地板,嘶哑地重复着某个词。罗斯托夫侧耳倾听,听出了那个词:是“水,水,水！”罗斯托夫环顾四周,想找个人把这个病人放回原位并给他拿水来。

complacently /kəmˈpleɪsəntli/

🔊 “No, it’s impossible to do anything here,” thought Rostóv, lowering his eyes, and he was going out, but became aware of an intense look fixed on him on his right, and he turned. Close to the corner, on an overcoat, sat an old, unshaven, gray-bearded soldier as thin as a skeleton, with a stern sallow face and eyes intently fixed on Rostóv. The man’s neighbor on one side whispered something to him, pointing at Rostóv, who noticed that the old man wanted to speak to him. He drew nearer and saw that the old man had only one leg bent under him, the other had been amputated above the knee. His neighbor on the other side, who lay motionless some distance from him with his head thrown back, was a young soldier with a snub nose. His pale waxen face was still freckled and his eyes were rolled back. Rostóv looked at the young soldier and a cold chill ran down his back.

“不,这儿什么都做不了,”罗斯托夫想着,垂下眼睛,正要出去,却感到右边有道强烈的目光注视着自己,便转过身来。靠近角落的地方,坐在一件大衣上的,是一个胡须灰白、面容憔悴、瘦骨嶙峋的老兵,他严峻蜡黄的脸上,双眼紧盯着罗斯托夫。旁边的人低声对他说了些什么,指了指罗斯托夫,罗斯托夫注意到老人想跟他说话。他走上前去,看见老人只有一条腿蜷在身下,另一条腿从膝盖以上截肢了。他另一边的邻居,一个仰面躺着一动不动的年轻士兵,长着个狮子鼻。苍白蜡黄的脸上还带着雀斑,眼睛向上翻着。罗斯托夫看着那个年轻士兵,一股寒意顺着脊背爬上来。
