In spite of all his supposed power, his intellect, his experience, and his knowledge of men, kutuzov, taking into consideration the note from bennigsen, who was sending a personal report on the subject to the tsar, the desire expressed by all the generals alike, the desire assumed by them to be the tsars wish, and the news brought by the cossack, could hold back the inevitable movement no longer, and gave orders for what he regarded as useless and mischievousgave his assent, in fact, to the accomplished fact
庫圖
佐夫雖然有他那徒有虛名的權力，有他的
聰明才智豐富的經驗和對人的識別能力，但是他不能不注意到貝尼格森親自向皇帝呈交的報告全體將軍們的一致願望，他意料到的皇帝的願望，以及哥薩克們的報告，他再也不能制止那不可避免的行動了，於是他不得不違心地下達命令干他認為無益而且有害的事情，他對既成事實加以認可。
It was obvious that kutuzov despised intellect and learning, and even the patriotic feeling denisov had shown ; but he did not despise them through intellect, nor through sentiment, nor through learning for he made no effort to display anything of the kind, he despised them through something elsethrough his old age, through his experience of life
顯然，庫圖佐夫輕視聰明才智，甚至輕視傑尼索夫的愛國熱情，但他的蔑視並不是由於自己的聰明才智和感情因為他極力不顯露這些天賦，而是由於別的緣故。他蔑視這一切，是因為他的高和豐富的生活經驗。
