山中的岁月（2）

Yet though the disease is everywhere, it is discussed euphemistically. Newcomers are diagnosed as anaemic. As is still the case in the rich world, death is hidden. "You hear nothing of them, or only by chance afterwards," Joachim says of patients who succumb. "Everything is kept strictly private." Hans learns that corpses are brought down the mountain by bobsleigh.

尽管这种病无处不在，人们还是很委婉地去讨论它。新来的人会被诊断为贫血。有些发达国家还是有这种情况，把死亡藏起来。“你不会听说过他们，或者只是事后偶然会听说。”阿希姆谈到死亡的病人时说，“一切都要严格保密。”汉斯只知道尸体是用大雪橇运下山的。
