And the son who breaks into his father's house and murders him without murdering him is not even a romance- this is a sphinx setting us a riddle which he cannot solve himself.
А сын, вломившийся к отцу, убивший его, но в то же время и не убивший, это уж даже и не роман, не поэма, это сфинкс, задающий загадки, которые и сам уж конечно не разрешит.

Sometimes they had made day-dreams and woven whole romances together -- generally cheerful and amusing ones.
Иногда даже оба мечтали вместе и сочиняли целые повести вдвоем, но большею частью веселые и смешные.

But strange things are prepared even in the dead of night, and the unusual, which lurks least in the cafe, home of the prosaic and inevitable, was preparing to spoil for him the waning romance of Broadway.
Но странные вещи рождаются и в ночное время, и Необычное, которому, казалось бы, нет места в кафе, этих пристанищах всего прозаического и банального, уже готовилось убить в глазах Эмори всю романтику Бродвея.

Butler's only consolation at this time was the romance of military life, to which he surrendered himself not only when on duty but also in his private life.
Единственным утешением Бутлера была в это время воинственная поэзия, которой он предавался не только на службе, но и в частной жизни.

There seemed to him to be something tragic in a friendship so coloured by romance.
Что-то трагичное было в такой дружбе, окрашенной романтической влюбленностью.

Why, it is quite a tragic romance: Lizaveta Nikolaevna was pleased to get out of that lady's carriage and get straight into Stavrogin's carriage, and slipped off with 'the latter' to Skvoreshniki in full daylight.
Да ведь тут трагироманы произошли: Лизавета Николаевна прямо из кареты предводительши изволила пересесть в карету Ставрогина и улизнула с "сим последним" в Скворешники, среди бела дня.

At this point he simply alarmed her, and it was not until he began upon the romance of his life that she felt some slight relief, though that too was deceptive.
Тут уж он ее просто испугал, и отдохнула она лишь несколько, самым обманчивым впрочем отдыхом, когда собственно начался роман.

After delivering myself of this extraordinary and complicated romance, I grew confused, and blushed so much that every one must have seen that I was lying.
Сказав эту страшную, сложную ложь, я сконфузился и покраснел, так что все, верно, заметили, что я лгу.

"Gentlemen of the jury, I have told you already why I consider this romance not only an absurdity, but the most improbable invention that could have been brought forward in the circumstances.
Господа присяжные, я уже выразил вам мои мысли, почему считаю всю эту выдумку об зашитых за месяц перед тем деньгах в ладонку не только нелепицей, но и самым неправдоподобным измышлением, которое только можно было приискать в данном случае.
