The peasants who had been saved from starving by Flor Silin now gathered around him.

那些得到菲洛·斯林救助幸免于难的农民们，再次聚集到他家门口。

The fame of Flor Silin's benevolence having reached other villages, the famished inhabitants presented themselves before him, and begged for corn.

菲洛·斯林仁慈好施的赈灾一事传到其他村庄，饥民们纷纷来到他家，乞求周济粮食。

Silin was passionately fond of Nejdanov—he had an affectionate heart in general.

斯林非常喜欢内日丹诺夫——他总的来说有一颗深情的心。

With others, on paper at any rate, he was not himself, but this never happened when writing to Silin.

与其他人在一起，至少在纸面上，他不是他自己，但在写给斯林的信中却从未发生过这种情况。

He had never told anyone of his relation with Silin, a relation that was very dear to him.

他从来没有告诉任何人他和斯林的关系，这种关系对他来说是非常宝贵的。

Nejdanov could not for a moment conceive of the idea of living together again with Silin, as comrades in the same town.

内日丹诺夫一时也想不出要和斯林同城同住的想法。

Silin did not live in St. Petersburg, but in a distant provincial town, with an old relative on whom he was entirely dependent.

斯林不住在圣彼得堡， 而是住在一个遥远的省城， 与一位完全依赖的老亲戚住在一起。

A week flew by in this way. Nejdanov's thoughts and experiences during that time may be best gathered from an extract of a letter he wrote to a certain Silin, an old school chum and his best friend.

一个星期就这样过去了。 Nejdanov 在那段时间的想法和经历最好从他写给某个 Silin 的信中摘录，Silin 是他的老同学和他最好的朋友。
