The windows of the barracks and the soldiers’ houses had long been dark in the fort; but there were still lights in the windows of the best house.窗户的营房和战士的房子一直在黑暗炮台;但仍有灯光的窗户最好房子.

In it lived Prince Simon Mikhailovich Vorontsov, Commander of the Kurin Regiment, an Imperial Aide-de-Camp and son of the Commander-in-Chief.沃龙佐夫是在住王子西门奇师长的kurin团,一个帝国副官和儿子的总司令.

To Vorontsov, and even more to his wife, it seemed that they were not only living a very modest life, but one full of privations, while to the inhabitants of the place their luxury was surprising and extraordinary.沃龙佐夫向,更给妻子看来他们不仅过着非常谦虚的生活,但其中充满了匮乏、而对地方的居民感到诧异和非凡的奢侈品.

Just now, at midnight, the host and hostess sat playing cards with their visitors, at a card table lit by four candles, in the spacious drawing room with its carpeted floor and rich curtains drawn across the windows.刚才,深夜,主人和女主人坐在纸牌与游客一卡在桌上点燃蜡烛四、在宽敞的客厅地板与地毯、窗帘提请全国富窗户. Vorontsov, who had a long face and wore the insignia and gold cords of an aide-de-camp, was partnered by a shaggy young man of gloomy appearance, a graduate of Petersburg University whom Princess Vorontsov had lately had sent to the Caucasus to be tutor to her little son (born of her first marriage).沃龙佐夫曾长脸、徽章及金线穿了副官,民联是一个年轻的灰暗毛茸茸外观毕业于圣彼得堡大学沃龙佐夫曾谁公主近来已被送往高加索她家教小儿子(她的第一次婚姻所生). Against them played two officers: one a broad, red- faced man, Poltoratsky, a company commander who had exchanged out of the Guards; and the other the regimental adjutant, who sat very straight on his chair with a cold expression on his handsome face.针对他们扮演两名军官:一个广泛的、红面男子poltoratsky,一名连长曾交换了仪仗队.而另一团副官、笔挺坐在椅子上表达了他英俊面对寒冷.

Princess Marya Vasilevna, a large-built, large-eyed, black- browed beauty, sat beside Poltoratsky — her crinoline touching his lets — and looked over his cards.Maryavasilevna公主、大建设、大眼睛、黑眉美容、坐在poltoratsky-衬布她让他感动,他翻检卡. In her words, her looks, her smile, her perfume, and in every movement of her body, there was something that reduced Poltoratsky to obliviousness of everything except the consciousness of her nearness, and he made blunder after blunder, trying his partner’s temper more and more.在她的话,她的面容,她的微笑,她的香水,她的每一个运动体有一件事,要减少poltoratsky耐力的自觉性,惟独她贴近,他的失误和失误后,试图同伙的锻炼更多.

“No ..."没有:: that’s too bad!这太坏了! You’ve wasted an ace again,” said the regimental adjutant, flushing all over as Poltoratsky threw out an ace.再耽误您的王牌",团副官,各地为法拉盛poltoratsky抛出一个王牌.

Poltoratsky turned his kindly, wide-set black eyes towards the dissatisfied adjutant uncomprehendingly, as though just aroused from sleep.poltoratsky又把慈祥,宽订为不满副官uncomprehendingly黑眼圈,仿佛只是引起睡眠.

“Do forgive him!” said Marya Vasilevna, smiling."你原谅他吧!"Maryavasilevna说,微笑. “There, you see!"你看! Didn’t I tell you so?” she went on, turning to Poltoratsky.我不告诉你呢?"接着就转往poltoratsky.

“But that’s not at all what you said,” replied Poltoratsky, smiling."那你说什么都没有,"回答poltoratsky微笑.

“Wasn’t it?” she queried, with an answering smile, which excited and delighted Poltoratsky to such a degree that he blushed crimson and seeing the cards began to shuffle."不是"?她质疑,以微笑回答,而兴奋和欣慰poltoratsky到这种程度,他的脸绯红,看着卡开始洗牌.

“It isn’t your turn to deal,” said the adjutant sternly, and with his white ringed hand he began to deal himself, as though he wished to get rid of the cards as quickly as possible."这是不是你对"副官严厉他与他的白色手环和对待自己开始,仿佛他想甩掉卡尽快实现.

The prince’s valet entered the drawing room and announced that the officer on duty wanted to speak to him.王储代客进入客厅,宣布值班人员向他要发言.

“Excuse me, gentlemen,” said the prince speaking Russian with an English accent."对不起,先生们,"王子说,俄罗斯与英国口音. “Will you take my place, marya?”"你把我的地方,Marya"?

“Do you all agree?” asked the princess, rising quickly and lightly to her full height, rustling her silks, and smiling the radiant smile of a happy woman."你同意吗?"问公主,她的迅速崛起和轻率全高度、偷盗她丝织品、露出了微笑,微笑的快乐女人.

“I always agree to everything,” replied the adjutant, very pleased that the princess — who could not play at all — was now going to play against him."我一直都认同,"副官回答,很高兴公主谁不能玩全是现在起到指控.

“Is it your company that’s ordered to the forest tomorrow?” the prince asked Poltoratsky as they said goodbye."这是你们公司的森林下令明天"?王子问poltoratsky他们说再见.

“Yes, mine...why?”"不错,雷::为什么::"

“Then we shall meet tomorrow,” said the prince, smiling slightly."那么明天我们将说:"太子微笑略.

“Very pleased,” replied Poltoratsky, not quite understanding what Vorontsov was saying to him and preoccupied only by the thought that he would in a minute be pressing Marya Vasilevna’s hand."非常高兴,"回答poltoratsky,沃龙佐夫是不太了解,他说,只有专注的以为他会在Maryavasilevna分钟逼人的订单.
