He did not merely fancy—as every governing official always does fancy—that he was controlling the external acts of the inhabitants of Moscow, but fancied that he was shaping their mental attitude by means of his appeals and placards, written in that vulgar, slangy jargon which the people despise in their own class, and simply fail to understand when they hear it from persons of higher station. The picturesque figure of leader of the popular feeling was so much to Rastoptchin's taste, and he so lived in it, that the necessity of abandoning it, the necessity of surrendering Moscow with no heroic effect of any kind, took him quite unawares; the very ground he was standing on seemed slipping from under his feet, and he was utterly at a loss what to do.

Those who have succeeded in procuring this admirable materialism have the joy of feeling themselves irresponsible, and of thinking that they can devour everything without uneasiness,--places, sinecures, dignities, power, whether well or ill acquired, lucrative recantations, useful treacheries, savory capitulations of conscience,--and that they shall enter the tomb with their digestion accomplished.

获得了这种宝贵的唯物主义的人，也就可以有那种觉得自己不用负责的快感，并认为自己可以心安理得地霸占一切，地盘、恩俸、荣誉、正当得来或暖昧得来的权力，可以为金钱背弃信义，为功利出卖朋友，昧尽天良也还可以自鸣得意。等到酒肉消化完了，便往坟墓里一钻了事。那多么舒服。我这些话并不是为您说的，元老先生。
