Why Did Tolstoy Leave Home?
托爾斯泰為何要出走?
我就是俄國大作家,托爾勞動保護泰,我一生寫了不少小說。我有著一顆平凡而又善良的心,貴族的身份并沒有阻止我去同情那些貧苦的農民。人們都說我傻,誰又能理解我呢?
I am the famous Russian novelist—Tolstoy. I’ve written quite a few novels in my life. I was kind warm-hearted. My noble status cannot prevent me from having sympathy for those poor peasants. Everyone calls me stupid, but who can truly understand me?

古知道俄國大作家托爾斯泰晚年的生活并不幸福,他被迫離家出走,最后客死他鄉。為什么會這樣呢?找他問個究竟吧。
Gugu learned that Tolstoy wasn’t happy in his old age. He was forced to leave home and died elsewhere at last. Why? Gugu decided to find it out.
(G=Gugu ) T=Tolstoy)
古古:我不明白,您已經年邁體衰了,為什么還要離家出走?
托爾斯泰:大概人們都把我當做一個任性的老人吧。誰又能理解我的苦衷呢?
古古:您到底有什么苦衷呢?
托爾斯泰:我想把家產分給窮人,并放棄著作權無償出版,將所有的作品獻給社會。
古古:這我是好事啊!
托爾斯泰:可是我妻子不同意,她地。我太失望了!
古古:她或許有自己的理由啊。
托爾斯泰:她的理由無非就是為了維持一個家而已。
古古:我理解她。
托爾斯泰:我知道你們都偏袒她。可是我為了那偉大的社會理想,為了整個人類的幸福,又有什么錯?
古古:我也能理解您。你們只是理想不同而已。
G:I don’t understand. You were so old and poor in health. Why did you leave home?
T:I know that I’m taken as a willful old man. But nobody can really know my difficulty.
G:What is it?
T:I’d like to give my wealth to the poor and publish my works for nothing. I wanna distribute all of them to society.
G:So noble!
T:But my wife disagreed with me. She was firmly objecting to it. I was so disappointed!
G:She might have her own excuses.
G:That would be no more than supporting? the family.
T:I know you all think she was right. But why am I wrong? My great ideal? Providing happiness for the whole of society?
G:I can understand you, too. It’s just that you two are for different things.
