误译一句

在那段恐怖的时期又有恶性的热病大肆蔓延，大量外国人殒命于此。应该说，对于这样一个在她的成型期间遭受种种灾难以至重回荒芜的城市，我们必须承认，作为曾经的欧洲人的坟墓，这个小岛公正地获得了它应得的尊敬。

When to the foregoing calendar of horrors we add the malignant fever, which swept off foreigners by the score, due, as was supposed, to the noxious gases exhaled from the surfaces of decomposed granite laid bare during the erection of the city, we must admit that the island fairly earned its reputation as the grave of Europeans.

考虑到在前述种种恐怖以外，更有那令众多外国人殒命的恶性热病——据说是因为建城期间挖开了腐烂的花岗岩，散发出了毒气——我们必须承认，这座城市被称为欧洲人的坟墓名副其实。
