象死人的

Although of a paleness that was almost livid, this man had a remarkably handsome face

虽然他的脸色苍白得象死人，但这个人的脸实在是很漂亮

His dark eyes and swarthy skin and Paynim features suited the costume exactly: he looked the very model of an Eastern emir, an agent or a victim of the bowstring.

他乌黑的眼睛、黝黑的皮肤和穆斯林式的五官，与这身打扮十分般配。他看上去活象一个东方的酋长，一个绞死人和被人绞死的角色。

Communicated by him, the platoon leader also talked about how frightened they were when they joined the fighting at the beginning; how their antiaircraft machine guns were dive-bombed by the American attackers, cutting their gun tubes into halves as if done by a knife; how a tall soldier was stupefied in the battlefield put a shot box over his head with shivering, and insisted on returning home anyway; how a new military medical university female graduate cried and refused to go to the front when boarding the train and was sent under escort back to her original unit; how the Chinese train drivers went through all kinds of hardships and difficulties, and definitely died after ten times of going to the front at most; how the recruits of 17 or 18 were frightened to cry like a child by the shellfire; how they were reorganized in Kunming, Yunnan Province; how they marched to the front in the Vietnamese military uniforms without military ranks.

受他的感染，排长也讲些他们刚出国打仗是多么害怕；架着高射机枪如何遭到美国飞机的俯冲轰炸；枪筒如何象刀削似地一折两段；讲一个高个战士战场上如何吓破胆，把炮弹箱顶在头上发抖，如何死活要回国；讲一个女军医大学毕业生如何上了火车又哭着喊着不去，被押送回原单位；讲中国的火车与汽车司机如何历尽风险，他们的寿命是十趟去前线肯定要牺牲；讲到刚入伍的十七八岁还像孩子一样的新兵如何被炮火和到处的死人吓得大声哭泣；讲他们如何在云南昆明整编；如何换上越南没有军衔的军装开赴前线。

Like blind men we grope along the wall, like people without eyes we feel our way. We stumble at midday as at dusk, in Stygian darkness, like the dead.

我们摸索着墙壁，好象瞎子；我们摸索，有如无眼的人；我们在正午颠仆，有如处于黄昏；我们在健壮人中，却如死人。

Robert Audley's face blanched to a deathly whiteness.

罗伯特·奥德利的脸变得煞白，象死人的脸一样。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
