and went to bed. 然后就躺下了。

He never got up again. 他就再也没起来过。

A few days later, 过了几天，

his cook came to ask me whether he should call a doctor. 他的厨子跑来问我，要不要去请个大夫。

I went to see him. 我就去瞧了瞧他。

He lay silent behind his bed curtains, under a heavy quilt. 他拉着床幔，蒙着厚厚的被子，一声不吭地躺在那儿。

If you asked him something, 要是问他点什么，

A month later, Belikov died. 一个月后，别利科夫就死了。

As he lay in his coffin, 他躺在棺材里的时候，

his face looked gentle, pleasant, almost cheerful, 面容看着温和、安详，甚至可以说是挺高兴的，

as if he were glad he'd finally been put into a case he would never have to leave. 就好像在庆幸自己终于被装进了一个再也不用出来的套子里。

He had reached his ideal at last." 他总算实现了自己的理想。”

The only case that truly keeps the world out is the last one. 真正能把外界彻底隔绝在外的套子，也就只有这最后一个了。
