🔊 “The Emperor! The Emperor! The Marshal! The Duke!” and hardly had the sleek cavalry passed, before a carriage drawn by six gray horses rattled by. Pierre caught a glimpse of a man in a three-cornered hat with a tranquil look on his handsome, plump, white face. It was one of the marshals. His eye fell on Pierre’s large and striking figure, and in the expression with which he frowned and looked away Pierre thought he detected sympathy and a desire to conceal that sympathy.

“皇帝！皇帝！元帅！公爵！”衣着光鲜的骑兵刚刚疾驰而过,一辆六匹灰马拉着的马车便辘辘驶来。皮埃尔瞥见一个头戴三角帽的男人,他那英俊、丰满、白皙的脸上带着安详的神情。这是一位元帅。他的目光落在皮埃尔高大惹眼的身形上,在皮埃尔看来,他皱眉移开目光的表情中,包含着同情和掩盖同情的意图。

当元帅经过时,囚犯们已经挤作一团,皮埃尔看见了那个他今早还未曾见到的卡拉塔耶夫。他穿着短外套,靠着一棵白桦树坐着。脸上除了昨天讲述那位无辜受难商人的故事时的喜悦激动神情之外,如今又增添了一种安详的庄严。

Pierre heard it plainly, but at that moment he remembered that he had not yet finished reckoning up how many stages still remained to Smolensk--a calculation he had begun before the marshal went by. And he again started reckoning. Two French soldiers ran past Pierre, one of whom carried a lowered and smoking gun. They both looked pale, and in the expression on their faces--one of them glanced timidly at Pierre--there was something resembling what he had seen on the face of the young soldier at the execution. Pierre looked at the soldier and remembered that, two days before, that man had burned his shirt while drying it at the fire and how they had laughed at him.

在他身后,卡拉塔耶夫刚才坐着的地方传来一声枪响。皮埃尔听得清清楚楚,但此刻他想起,他还没算完元帅经过前他开始的--距离斯摩棱斯克还有几站的路程。于是他又重新计算起来。两个法语士兵从皮埃尔身边跑过,其中一个拿着一支垂下的、还冒着烟的枪。两人都脸色苍白,脸上表情--其中一人怯怯地瞥了皮埃尔一眼--有某种他曾在处刑时的年轻士兵脸上见过的东西。皮埃尔看着那士兵,想起两天前,那人曾在火堆边烤衣服时烧了自己的衬衫,他们当时还笑话了他。
