After all, immortality doesn't automatically translate to invincibility, it just means you cannot die.
毕竟,长生不老并不等于无敌,它只是意味着你不会死。
No one had lost faith in the invincibility of the troops but everyone, the civilians at least, had lost faith in the General. New Hope Church was only thirty-five miles from Atlanta!
谁也没有丧失自己军不可战胜的信心,可是人人,至少是每个市民,都不再信任他们的将军了,纽霍教堂距离亚特兰大只有35英里呢!而将军在过去三个星期被北方佬打退了65英里!他为什么不将北军挡住,反而节节败退呢?他是个笨蛋,比苯蛋还愚笨啊!那些乡团里的胡子兵和民兵员安然无恙地待在亚特兰大,但都固执地认为要是让他们来打这个战役一定会打得好些,并且把地图铺在桌上指指点点地说明自己作战方案。
As Olga Maiorova of the University of Michigan notes, in the book Dostoyevsky hopes Russia will continue its conquest into Asia, so that people " all the way to India" might " become convinced of the invincibility of the white tsar" .
正如密歇根大学的 Olga Maiorova 指出的那样,陀思妥耶夫斯基在书中希望俄罗斯继续征服亚洲, 以便“远道而来的印度” 的人们“相信白人沙皇是不可战胜的” 。
