翌日，安德烈公爵只向伯爵一人告别，不等候女士们出来，就动身回家了。
已经是六月之初，正当安德烈公爵快要回到家中时，他又驶进那座白桦树林，林中的这棵弯曲多节的老橡树呈现着很古怪的模样，令人难忘，真使他感到惊奇。在森林中，铃铛的响声比一个半月以前更低沉，那时处处是绿树浓荫，枝繁叶茂，那些散布在森林中的小枞树没有损害共有的优美环境，却为迎合树木共有的特点，都发绿了，长出毛茸茸的嫩枝。
整天都很炎热，有的地方雷雨快要来临，但是只有一小片乌云往路上的灰尘和多汁的叶子上喷洒了几

安德烈公爵因承办梁赞领地的监护事宜，不得不与本县首席贵族会面。首席贵族就是伊利亚·安德烈伊奇·罗斯托夫伯爵。安德烈公爵遂于五月中旬前去拜访他。

安德烈公爵在沿着花园的林荫道驶近奥特拉德诺耶村罗斯托夫家的寓所时，觉得不高兴，忧心忡忡，想到他应该向首席贵族问清一些事情。他从右边树林中听见妇人愉快的喊声，看见挡住他的马车的一群飞奔而来的姑娘。一个苗条的、苗条得出奇

一八○八年，亚历山大皇帝去埃尔富特城和拿破仑皇帝再次会晤，因此彼得堡上流社会中谈论许多关于这次隆重会晤的伟大意义。
一八○九年，拿破仑和亚历山大宣称，世界的两位主宰的密切联系已经达到那种程度，致使拿破仑于是年对奥宣战时，俄国军团竟前往境外协助从前的敌人波拿巴以反对从前的盟友奥地利皇帝，而且上流社会正在谈论拿破仑和亚历山大皇帝的一个妹妹可能成婚的事。但是除开对外政策而外，当时俄国社会特别深切地关注这个时期国家行政管理的各个部门中所实施的内部改革。

This noisy place is a stock exchange. Here expert salespeople called brokers buy and sell shares of companies. The shares are known as stocks. People who own stock in a company, own part of that company.

1．nerd 和jock 是美国学生常用的两个俗语。nerd 的意思和汉语中的“书呆子”类似。这类人聪明勤奋，但却过于保守严肃，在校园里颇让人瞧不起。jock 则恰恰相反。他们魁梧帅气，很受女孩子们的欢迎，尤其擅长American football 和 basketball 等各种体育运动。当然，校园中也不乏漂亮的girl jocks.
2．egghead 这个词在1952年的美国总统大选中被首次使用。当时的竞选双方分别是二战盟军总司令艾森豪威尔和书生气十足的伊利诺伊州州长史蒂文森。史蒂文森精心准备的竞选演讲文字华丽晦涩，只有和他一样的知识分子才会感兴趣。因此对手取笑他说："Sure, all the eggheads love Stevenson.
