When he comes to the roadside sign, "Woe to the blasphemer and whore

当他来到路边的牌子旁看见上面写着为亵渎者和
monger.

皮条客而悲哀吧
Will hell swallow you up?" it says "The pickup truck slowed

地狱会吞噬你吗皮卡车开得更慢了
even more, as if it were reading the sign, and Haze pounded

就仿佛这辆车也看到了这块标牌莫茨按着他那发
his empty horn.

不声响的喇叭
He beat on it and beat on it but it didn't make any sound."

他一次次按着喇叭但就是没一点声音
He doesn't at first hear the horn fail to blow, and then later,

起初他没有听见喇叭不响过了一会儿
when a truck pulls up behind him, he fails to hear a horn that does

当一辆卡车停在他后面的时候他还是没听见喇叭响
blow: He was looking at the sign,

他看着这块路牌
and he didn't hear the horn.

听不见鸣笛声
An oil truck as long as a railroad car was behind him.

一辆仿佛火车那般长的油罐车在他后面
In a second, a red, square face was at his car window.

不一会儿他的车窗上出现了张通红的方形的脸
