• 
  
  and his soul in a state of sin
  灵魂尚未洗刷净罪恶
• 
  
  that could lead to eternal damnation in the next.
  这样在另一个世界里他可能会永远被诅咒
• 
  
  And death from plague was not only sudden but,
  而正如我们所知 瘟疫之死
• 
  
  as we know now,
  不仅突然
• 
  
  agonizing and dehumanizing.
  而且会折磨得人丧尽天良
• 
  
  It often meant that the sufferer was alone and abandoned,
  病人常常是众叛亲离 孤苦伶仃
• 
  
  and it was death without the attentions of the clergy,
  离世的时候也不会牧师祷告
• 
  
  without funeral rites and proper burial.
  更不会有体面的葬礼仪式和下葬
• 
  
  Or your body was hurled unceremoniously
  有时候你的遗体会被随随便便地
• 
  
  into a mass plague pit;
  扔进一个大瘟疫葬坑
• 
  
  burned perhaps; thrown into the sea,
  有时候会被火化 有时候会被扔进海里
• 
  
  picked over by vultures and crows.
  被秃鹰和乌鸦分食
