Chapter 31
第三十一章
Next day, though I pressed him to remain, Stroeve left me. I offered to fetch his things from the studio, but he insisted on going himself; I think he hoped they had not thought of getting them together, so that he would have an opportunity of seeing his wife again and perhaps inducing her to come back to him. But he found his traps waiting for him in the porter's lodge, and the concierge told him that Blanche had gone out. I do not think he resisted the temptation of giving her an account of his troubles. I found that he was telling them to everyone he knew; he expected sympathy, but only excited ridicule.
第二天,雖然我盡力挽留,施特略夫還是走了。我建議我替他回家去取行李,但是他堅(jiān)持要自己去。我想他可能希望他們并沒(méi)有把他的東西收拾起來(lái),這樣他就有機(jī)會(huì)再見(jiàn)自己的妻子一面,說(shuō)不定還能勸說(shuō)她回到自己的身邊來(lái)。但是事實(shí)并不象他所料想的那樣,他的一些零星用品已經(jīng)放在門(mén)房,等著他取走,而勃朗什,據(jù)看門(mén)人告訴他,已經(jīng)出門(mén)走了。我想施特略夫如果有機(jī)會(huì)的話(huà),是不會(huì)不把自己的苦惱向她傾訴一番的。我發(fā)現(xiàn)他不論碰到哪個(gè)相識(shí)的人都把自己的不幸遭遇嘮叨給人家聽(tīng);他希望別人同情他,但是卻只引起人們的嘲笑。
He bore himself most unbecomingly. Knowing at what time his wife did her shopping, one day, unable any longer to bear not seeing her, he waylaid her in the street. She would not speak to him, but he insisted on speaking to her. He spluttered out words of apology for any wrong he had committed towards her; he told her he loved her devotedly and begged her to return to him. She would not answer; she walked hurriedly, with averted face. I imagined him with his fat little legs trying to keep up with her. Panting a little in his haste, he told her how miserable he was; he besought her to have mercy on him; he promised, if she would forgive him, to do everything she wanted. He offered to take her for a journey. He told her that Strickland would soon tire of her. When he repeated to me the whole sordid little scene I was outraged.
他的行徑很失體統(tǒng)。他知道他的妻子每天什么時(shí)候出去買(mǎi)東西,有一天,迫不及待地想見(jiàn)到她,便在街上把她攔住。雖然勃朗什不理他,他還是沒(méi)完沒(méi)了同她講話(huà)。他為自己做的任何一件對(duì)不起她的事向她道歉,告訴她自己如何真心愛(ài)她,請(qǐng)求她再回到自己身邊。勃朗什一句話(huà)也不回答,臉扭向一邊,飛快地向前趕路,我想象得出施特略夫怎樣邁動(dòng)著一雙小短腿,使勁在后面追趕的樣子。他一邊跑一邊喘氣,繼續(xù)嘮叨個(gè)沒(méi)完。他告訴她自己如何痛苦,請(qǐng)求她可憐自己;他發(fā)誓賭咒,只要她能原諒他,他什么事都愿意替她做。他答應(yīng)要帶她去旅行。他告訴她思特里克蘭德不久就會(huì)厭倦了她。當(dāng)施特略夫?qū)ξ一厥鲞@幕令人作嘔的丑戲時(shí),我真是氣壞了。
