Though the exact details remain mysterious, our best guess at how it all unfolded comes from Yusupov's memoirs.

虽然没有人知道明确的细节，我们可以根据尤苏波夫的回忆录尽可能地推测这个计划是如何进行的。

But unbeknownst to Yusupov, one of his co-conspirators had a change of heart, and substituted the poison with a harmless substance.

但尤苏波夫并不知道，他的共谋者之一改变了心意，把毒药换成无害的物质。

Yusupov and his accomplices pursued him, finally killing Rasputin with a bullet to the forehead and dumping his body in the Malaya Nevka river.

尤苏波夫和他的共犯却追他，终于对着拉斯普丁的额头开了一枪，将他杀死，把他的尸体丟到马来亚涅夫卡河里。

The Russian monarchy was on the brink of collapse, and to Yusupov and his fellow aristocrats, the holy man they'd invited to dinner was the single cause of it all.

俄国的君主政体已经濒临崩溃，对尤苏波夫以及他的贵族伙伴而言，他们邀请来晚宴的这位神职人员是导致崩溃的唯一缘由。
