A strange odor came up to me from the earth.

VOA: special.2009.11.15

I wanted to go back and leer at my strange Dickensian mother in the hash joint. I tingled all over from head to foot.

这时的我已经有些神志不清，真想回去看看,小饭馆里奇怪的幽灵一般的母亲。

Nor did I take pleasure in those who recall strange commands, but in those who recall the commands given by the Lord to the Faith and coming from Truth itself.

我也不喜欢那些记得怪诞旨意的人，而喜欢那些记得,上帝下达的旨意并且是真实的人。
