Serbian to English "Dostoyevsky Quote"

[MC-Force]

Hello, can anyone translate this quote from a Serbian edition of "Insulted and Injured" by Dostoyevsky to English.

Зар се може човек толико узбуђивати само зато што ће рђав човек нешто помислити?

Thank you very much.

Very difficult one..

Could anyone get so upset just because of what some evil man would think?

I don't get it. Is it it untranslatable or something?

Hello!

I guess I shouldn't interfere, since I don't speak Serbian..., but it looks to me as Sanya has already given you the translation...

[MC-Force]

You mean that's the translation. I thought that was her opinion. Duh!

[Sanya]

Hehe.. my opinion?? No, that was the translation.. Sorry if it sounds weird, but that is the best I could do. I will put it now in Croatian, because there are lot of Croatians here on the forum, so maybe they can translate it better.

Yeah i understand it...but sanya...rđav čovjek....tu frazu nikad čuo u hrvatskom.

Pretpostavljam da je to zao čovjek, ne?

Sanja's translation is excellent!

[Sanya]

.. Sorry if it sounds weird, but that is the best I could do.

Again, it's to be expected to sound weird. We are talking Dostoyevsky, right?

Nisi cuo?? Upotrebljava se taj izraz za coveka koji je vise no zao - mnogo zao. Mozda se ne koristi cesto u obicnom govoru, ali poromanima i narocito izrekama cesto se moze naci.
Evo ti primer iz pripovetke "Čevrljino zločinstvo" (Simo Matavulj):
"(...) -Hvala bogu, vazda li si nastran, kao djetinja zdjelica! - reče otac. - Čudna mi prigovora! A znaš li ti kome si sličan? No, neću o tome. Jovica nije rđav čovjek iako je od zla jata, - on je baš bijela vrana u tome jatu. (...)"
