В центре сатирической сказки — совесть, которая внезапно оказалась никому не нужной на базаре.
People cast it aside like an old rag because it only prevented them from deceiving others, profiting at their expense, and getting ahead in life.
Люди сбросили её с себя, как старую ветошь, потому что она лишь мешала им обманывать, наживаться и преуспевать в делах.
The discarded Conscience begins to pass from hand to hand, but each new owner suffers nothing but unbearable torment because of it.
Брошенная совесть начинает переходить из рук в руки, но каждый её новый владелец испытывает от неё лишь невыносимые мучения.
A drunkard who takes possession of it loses the ability to drink and enjoy his accustomed life; the unscrupulous merchant Prokhorych begins giving his goods away for free and nearly goes bankrupt; and a bribe-taking official loses sleep and the ability to accept gifts.
Пропойца, взявший её, теряет возможность пить и наслаждаться привычной жизнью; бессовестный купец Прохорыч начинает раздавать товары бесплатно и едва не разоряется; а чиновник-взяточник теряет сон и способность брать подношения.
All of them dream of getting rid of the unbearable burden and pass it on to one another like a dangerous and harmful object.
Все они мечтают избавиться от несносной находки и подбрасывают её друг другу, как опасный и вредный предмет.
In the end, Conscience asks its last owner to give it to a little child.
В итоге совесть просит последнего владельца подбросить её маленькому ребёнку.
Only in a pure child’s soul does it hope to grow, gain strength, and, when the child becomes an adult, restore genuine modesty, honesty, and humanity to people.
Только в чистой детской душе она надеется вырасти, окрепнуть и, когда ребёнок станет взрослым, вернуть людям настоящую стыдливость, честность и человечность.
In his characteristic ironic manner, Saltykov-Shchedrin exposes the moral degradation of a society in which ethical principles have become an obstacle to everyday survival and success.
В присущей ему ироничной форме Салтыков-Щедрин разоблачает нравственное падение общества, где моральные принципы стали помехой для повседневного выживания и успеха.
