Since money , as the existing and active concept of value , confounds and confuses all things , it is the general confounding and confusing of all things ? the world upside - down ? the confounding and confusing of all natural and human qualities 因为货币作为现存的和起作用的价值概念把一切事物都混淆和替换了，所以它是一切事物的普遍的混淆和替换，从而是颠倒的世界，是一切自然的性质和人的性质的混淆和替换。
Oh , i had forgotten celine ! well , to resume . when i saw my charmer thus come in accompanied by a cavalier , i seemed to hear a hiss , and the green snake of jealousy , rising on undulating coils from the moonlit balcony , glided within my waistcoat , and ate its way in two minutes to my heart s core 当我看见那个把我弄得神瑰颠倒的女人，由一个好献殷勤的男人陪着进来时，我似乎听到了一阵嘶嘶声，绿色的妒嫉之蛇，从月光照耀下的阳台上呼地窜了出来，盘成了高低起伏的圈圈，钻进了我的背心，两分钟后一直咬啮到了我的内心深处。
Those who were striving to grasp the general course of events , and trying by self - sacrifice and heroism to take a hand in it , were the most useless members of society ; they saw everything upside down , and all that they did with the best intentions turned out to be useless folly , like pierres regiment , and mamonovs , that spent their time pillaging the russian villages , like the lint scraped by the ladies , that never reached the wounded , and so on 那些试图理解天下大事所趋，并想以自我牺牲和英勇作战行为去参与天下大事的人们，是社会中最无用的成员他们看到的一切是颠倒的，他们为公益所做的一切到头来都是无益的胡闹，就像皮埃尔兵团和马莫诺夫兵团抢劫俄国的农村，后方太太小姐撕布抽纱卷成的棉线团永远到不了伤员那里等等。
