滿座笑聲裡，那杯酒沒人碰

At the far end of a long banquet table, Catherine sits in solemn silence while nearby Russian nobles look on with visible displeasure. Down the hall, German aristocrats in fine dress laugh and toast with wine, lively and unbothered — among them Peter, deep in conversation, paying her no attention at all. A grand hall, warm candlelight, the tension sitting quietly beneath the celebration.

長桌盡頭，凱瑟琳獨自靜坐，神情肅然，身旁的俄國貴族們面露不悅。宴廳另一頭，衣著華貴的德意志貴族們正笑著舉杯暢飲，熱鬧得毫不在意；彼得就在其中，正聊得投入，壓根沒往她這邊看一眼。大殿恢弘，燭光溫暖，喧鬧之下藏著一層無聲的僵持。
