在光线明亮的教堂内，举行连理仪式时，穿着华丽的妇女和少女的圈子里，不断流淌着低声细语，而戴着白领结、礼服和制服的男士们也在其中。 —

“为什么玛丽穿紫色的，像葬礼一样，参加婚礼？” 科尔苏恩斯卡娅夫人说。

“Why is it Marie’s in lilac, as bad as black, at a wedding?” said Madame Korsunskaya.
“对于她的肤色来说，这是唯一的救赎，” 特鲁别茨卡娅夫人回答道。

施特谢尔巴茨基告诉年老的贵人尼古拉耶娃夫人，他打算为基蒂的髻鬏戴上皇冠求运气。

Sergey Ivanovitch was talking to Darya Dmitrievna, jestingly assuring her that the custom of going away after the wedding was becoming common because newly married people always felt a little ashamed of themselves.
Sergey Ivanovitch正在与Darya Dmitrievna交谈，开玩笑地向她保证，新婚人总是会对自己感到有点羞愧，所以结婚后离去的习俗正在变得普遍。

“What a pity she’s lost her looks so,” Countess Nordston said to Madame Lvova. “Still he’s not worth her little finger, is he?”
“她的容貌真是可惜变差了，”北斗女伯爵对Lvova女士说。“而他却不值得她的一根小指头，对吧？”

“Oh, I like him so–not because he’s my future beau-frere,” answered Madame Lvova. “And how well he’s behaving! —
“哦，我这么喜欢他——不是因为他是我未来的姐夫，”Lvova女士回答道。“而且他的举止多么好！ —

她为基蒂和列文庆祝而高兴；她回想起自己的婚礼，瞥了一眼斯捷潘·阿尔卡季耶维奇那灿烂的身影，忘记了现在的一切，只记起了自己的纯真之爱。 —

她想到她们在胜利的那一天，当她们像基蒂一样戴着婚冠，心中充满爱和希望和恐惧，放弃过去，踏入神秘的未来。 —

一些完全陌生的女性，仅仅是观众身份，也激动地观看着，屏住呼吸，生怕错过新娘和新郎的任何一个动作或表情，不屑地不回答，甚至听不见，那些不在乎的男人们的评论，他们一直在开玩笑或说些无关的话。
