She was not prone to fear, but the doctor dropped some word, like corruption of the blood, scarlatina, or else--heaven help us--diphtheria, and off she went.

她不容易害怕， 但医生说了几个词， 比如血液腐败、猩红热， 或者——老天保佑我们——白喉， 然后她就走了。

If they had faith they would know that scarlatina, diphtheria, etc., are not so terrible, since they cannot disturb that which man can and should love, --the soul.

如果他们有信仰， 他们就会知道猩红热、白喉等并没有那么可怕，因为它们不会扰乱人可以而且应该爱的东西——灵魂。
