It was on the eve of Shrovetide, in the wilds about sixty versts from the railroad.

那是在忏悔节前夕，在离铁路大约六十俄里的荒野中。

In the empty streets, every conversation could be heard a verst away; voices and footsteps re-echoed on the wooden pavement.

阿莫瓦尔已经被搬进来了。 说话声和脚步声在木头人行道上回荡。

Suddenly the whole ended in a precipice, thickly overgrown with bushes, which overhung a plain about one and a-half versts in breadth along the banks of the Volga.

突然间，一切都变成了一个悬崖，上面长满了浓密的灌木丛，它悬在伏尔加河沿岸宽约一俄里的平原上。

After going half a verst my feet began to feel cold, and I remembered that in the car I had taken off my woollen socks, and had put them in my travelling bag.

走了半俄里， 脚就凉了，想起在车上脱了毛袜， 放在行囊里。
