The result was some confusion, whispering, and smiles, but the expression of solemn emotion on the young couple's faces did not change; on the contrary, while they fumbled with their hands they looked even more solemn and serious than before, and the smile with which Oblonsky whispered to them to put on their rings involuntarily died on his lips. He felt that any kind of smile would hurt their feelings.
Hubo un poco de confusión, la gente cuchicheaba y sonreía, pero la solemnidad y la humilde expresión de los rostros de los novios no se modificaron. Por el contrario, al equivocarse de mano, los dos miraban con mayor gravedad que antes, y la sonrisa con la que Oblonsky anunció que cada uno debía ponerse su propio anillo, expiró involuntariamente en sus labios, comprendiendo que cualquier sonrisa podía ser una ofensa para los desposados.
