A group of old fakirs were capering and making a wild ado round the statue ; te were striped with ochre , and covered with cuts whence their blood issued drop by drop - stupid fanatics , who , in the great indian ceremonies , still throw themselves under the wheels of juggernaut 在这尊神像的四周，围着有一群疯疯癫癫的老托钵僧。他们身上象斑马似的画着赭黄色的条纹，并且割开一些十字形伤口，鲜血一滴滴地流出来。
Hastily raising myself on one arm , i looked around , but all was dark ; and it seemed to me as if the rain must have penetrated through the flooring of the room above , for some kind of moisture appeared to fall , drop by drop , upon my forehead , and when i passed my hand across my brow , i felt that it was wet and clammy 我急忙用一只胳脯撑起身子，环顾周围，但见周围一片漆黑，我感觉到头顶上好象雨水已经渗透了楼上房间的地板，因为有一种潮湿的东西正一滴滴地落在我的前额上，我用手抹了一把，确觉得它湿粘糊糊的。
