※ 引述《decorum (当时明月在)》之铭言：
: ...... 帕尔乌斯的不幸人生在本书也是以翻译失误为结尾：
: It did not help that Lenin had not ventured to reward him, nor that the
: Soviet state had branded him a traitor, shutting him out of a drama that he
: once dreamed of orchestrating.
It did not help that Lenin had not ventured to reward him, nor (did it help)
that the Soviet state had branded him a traitor, shutting him out of a drama
that he once dreamed of orchestrating.
