The oblong white ceiling , with this scarlet blot in the midst , had the appearance of a gigantic ace of hearts . mrs brooks had strange qualms of misgiving 在长方形的白色天花板中间，有一个红色的小点出现在上面，看上去就像一张巨大的红桃a 。
Rostov excused himself , left the stake of eight hundred and laid down the seven of hearts , a card with a corner torn , which he had picked up from the ground 罗斯托夫听从他的话，不更改写下的八百卢布，押在那张他从地上拾起来的破了角的红桃七点上。
He could not conceive that a stupid chance , leading the seven to the right rather than to the left , could deprive him of all that happiness felt now with new comprehension and seen in a new radiance , could hurl him into the abyss of unknown and undefined misery 他不能容忍无聊的运气竟使红桃七点先置于右边，而不是先置于左边，以致使他丧失重新享受的重现异彩的幸福，使他陷入从未经历的未知的灾难的深渊。
He laid down the seven of hearts , wrote on it with a broken piece of chalk 800 in bold round figures ; he drank the glass of warmed champagne that had been given him , smiled at dolohovs words , and with a sinking at his heart , waiting for the seven of hearts , he watched dolohovs hands that held the pack . the loss or gain of that card meant a great deal for rostov 他押在红桃七点上，拿起一截断了的粉笔在这张牌上端端正正地写下数目字“ 800 ”喝了一杯给他端来的烤热的香槟，对多洛霍夫的话付之一笑，心里发慌，极度紧张地注视多洛霍夫那双拿牌的手，等待着翻开一张红桃七点来。
