[¶1] "What do you want?" replied the latter, almost slipping off his horse, which was rearing. > Russian: — Что вам надо? — ответил тот, чуть не съерзнув с лошади, вскочившей на дыбы. [¶2] Stavrogin restrained himself. > Russian: Ставрогин сдержал себя. [¶3] "I didn't mean to insult that... fool, and I've insulted him again," he said quietly. > Russian: — Я не хотел обидеть этого... дурака, а обидел опять,— проговорил он тихо. [¶4] "Yes, you've insulted him again," Kirillov jerked out, "and besides, he's not a fool." > Russian: — Да, вы обидели опять,— отрубил Кириллов,— и притом он не дурак. [¶5] "I've done all I can, anyway." > Russian: — Я сделал, однако, всё, что мог. [¶6] "No." > Russian: — Нет. [¶7] "What ought I to have done?" > Russian: — Что же надо было сделать? [¶8] "Not have challenged him." > Russian: — Не вызывать. [¶9] "Accept another blow in the face?" > Russian: — Еще снести битье по лицу? [¶10] "Yes, accept another." > Russian: — Да, снести и битье. [¶11] "I can't understand anything now," said Stavrogin wrathfully. "Why does every one expect of me something not expected from anyone else? Why am I to put up with what no one else puts up with, and undertake burdens no one else can bear?" > Russian: — Я начинаю ничего не понимать! — злобно проговорил Ставрогин.— Почему все ждут от меня чего-то, чего от других не ждут? К чему мне переносить то, чего никто не переносит, и напрашиваться на бремена, которых никто не может снести? [¶12] "I thought you were seeking a burden yourself." > Russian: — Я думал, вы сами ищете бремени. [¶13] "I seek a burden?" > Russian: — Я ищу бремени? [¶14] "Yes." > Russian: — Да. [¶15] "You've... seen that?" > Russian: — Вы... это видели? [¶16] "Yes." > Russian: — Да. [¶17] "Is it so noticeable?" > Russian: — Это так заметно? [¶18] "Yes." > Russian: — Да. [¶19] There was silence for a moment. Stavrogin had a very preoccupied face. He was almost impressed. "I didn't aim because I didn't want to kill anyone. There was nothing more in it, I assure you," he said hurriedly, and with agitation, as though justifying himself. > Russian: Помолчали с минуту. Ставрогин имел очень озабоченный вид, был почти поражен. — Я потому не стрелял, что не хотел убивать, и больше ничего не было, уверяю вас,— сказал он торопливо и тревожно, как бы оправдываясь. [¶20] "You ought not to have offended him." > Russian: — Не надо было обижать. [¶21] "What ought I to have done then?" > Russian: — Как же надо было сделать? [¶22] "You ought to have killed him." > Russian: — Надо было убить. [¶23] "Are you sorry I didn't kill him?" > Russian: — Вам жаль, что я его не убил? [¶24] "I'm not sorry for anything. I thought you really meant to kill him. You don't know what you're seeking." > Russian: — Мне ничего не жаль. Я думал, вы хотели убить в самом деле. Не знаете, чего ищете. [¶25] "I seek a burden," laughed Stavrogin. > Russian: — Ищу бремени,— засмеялся Ставрогин. [¶26] "If you didn't want blood yourself, why did you give him a chance to kill you?" > Russian: — Не хотели сами крови, зачем ему давали убивать? [¶27] "If I hadn't challenged him, he'd have killed me simply, without a duel." > Russian: — Если б я не вызвал его, он бы убил меня так, без дуэли. [¶28] "That's not your affair. Perhaps he wouldn't have killed you." > Russian: — Не ваше дело. Может, и не убил бы. [¶29] "Only have beaten me?" > Russian: — А только прибил? [¶30] "That's not your business. Bear your burden. Or else there's no merit." > Russian: — Не ваше дело. Несите бремя. А то нет заслуги. [¶31] "Hang your merit. I don't seek anyone's approbation." > Russian: — Наплевать на вашу заслугу, я ни у кого не ищу ее! [¶32] "I thought you were seeking it," Kirillov commented with terrible unconcern. > Russian: — Я думал, ищете,— ужасно хладнокровно заключил Кириллов. [¶33] They rode into the courtyard of the house. > Russian: Въехали во двор дома. [¶34] "Do you care to come in?" said Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch. > Russian: — Хотите ко мне? — предложил Николай Всеволодович. [¶35] "No; I'm going home. Good-bye." He got off the horse and took his box of pistols under his arm. > Russian: — Нет, я дома, прощайте.— Он встал с лошади и взял свой ящик под мышку. [¶36] "Anyway, you're not angry with me?" said Stavrogin, holding out his hand to him. > Russian: — По крайней мере вы-то на меня не сердитесь? — протянул ему руку Ставрогин. [¶37] "Not in the least," said Kirillov, turning round to shake hands with him. "If my burden's light it's because it's from nature; perhaps your burden's heavier because that's your nature. There's no need to be much ashamed; only a little." > Russian: — Нисколько! — воротился Кириллов, чтобы пожать руку.— Если мне легко бремя, потому что от природы, то, может быть, вам труднее бремя, потому что такая природа. Очень нечего стыдиться, а только немного. [¶38] "I know I'm a worthless character, and I don't pretend to be a strong one." > Russian: — Я знаю, что я ничтожный характер, но я не лезу и в сильные. [¶39] "You'd better not; you're not a strong person. Come and have tea." > Russian: — И не лезьте; вы не сильный человек. Приходите пить чай. [¶40] Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch went into the house, greatly perturbed. > Russian: Николай Всеволодович вошел к себе сильно смущенный.
