The-Masque-of-Red-Death中英文对照.docVIP

THE Red Death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.红死病蹂躏这个国度已有多时。从不曾有过如此致命或如此可怕的瘟疫。鲜血是其象征，是其标志--血之殷红与血之恐怖。
