"And he was so shocked that he was unwilling to go on,and retumed home. "Next day he was continually twitching and nervously rubbing his hands,and it was evident from his face that he was unwell.And he left before his work was over,for the first time in his life.And he ate no dinner.Towards evening he wrapped himself up warmly,though it was quite warm weather,and sallied out to the Kovalenkos'.Varinka was out; he found her brother,however. "'Pray sit down,' Kovalenko said coldly,with a frown.His face looked sleepy; he had just had a nap after dinner,and was in a very bad humour. "Byelikov sat in silence for ten minutes,and then began: 'I have come to see you to relieve my mind.I am very,very much troubled.Some scurrilous fellow has drawn an absurd caricature of me and another person,in whom we are both deeply interested.I regard it as a duty to assure you that I have had no hand in it I have given no sort of ground for such ridicule-on the contrary,I have always behaved in every way like a gentleman.'

"'Why so?' asked Kovalenko in his bass. "'Surely that needs no explanation,Mihail Savvitch-surely you can understand that? If the teacher rides a bicycle,what can you expect the pupils to do? You will have them walking on their heads next!

安东•契诃夫（Anton Chekhov，1860年—1904年），俄国小说家、戏剧家，与法国的莫泊桑，美国的欧•亨利齐名，并称为“世界三大短篇小说巨匠”。他坚持现实主义传统，关注俄国人民的日常生活，塑造了一系列具有典型性格的小人物，忠实地反映出当时俄国的社会现实。他的作品具有三大特征，即嘲讽揭露丑恶现象，深切同情贫苦人民，以及富于幽默性和艺术性。高尔基曾经给予他高度评价，列夫•托尔斯泰也称赞他是“无与伦比的艺术家”。
