The nooses are no prank.

这些绳套不是恶作剧。

The next day, two nooses dangled from the tree.

第二天，那棵树上挂起了两条绞索绳套。

The nooses are no prank. We were lynched, we were murdered.

我们曾被这样的套索处以私刑，我们曾被这样的套索谋杀。

Now I must prepare the nooses and the rope to lash him alongside, he thought.

现在我得准备好套索和绳子，把它绑在船边，他想。

Mostly, though, he draws pictures of men holding guns. Or men hanging from nooses.

虽然，大多时候他的画里总有拿着枪的人，吊着的人。

They had come to the Waste not for the silence, but because only jails and nooses awaited them in the forests and towns of the east.

他们来到荒野，不是寻找寂静，而是因为在东方的森林和城镇，有枷锁和绞架等候着他们。
