The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 7
每当有不服从者拒绝接受新秩序，或后来表现出脱离新秩序的倾向时，军队便会在神父的秘密指令下，对不满地区展开突袭，施以西班牙士兵在对待弱小民族时所惯有的残酷暴行。
When any recalcitrants refused to accept the new order, or later showed an inclination to break away from it, the military forces, acting usually under secret directions from the padre, made raids in the disaffected parts with all the unpitying atrocity the Spanish soldiery were ever capable of displaying in their dealings with a weaker people.
在施加了足够的惩罚、激起了深切的恐惧之后，神父便会适时出面为土著居民说情，以此使他们相信，顺从当局——尤其是顺从所在城镇或地区的教区神父——才是获得和平与安全的唯一途径。
After sufficient punishment had been inflicted and a wholesome fear inspired, the padre very opportunely interfered in the natives' behalf, by which means they were convinced that peace and security lay in submission to the authorities, especially to the curate of their town or district.
一个例子便足以说明这种方法：这并非孤立个案，而是从主要当事人自己留下的大量记录中选取的典型案例。
A single example will suffice to make the method clear: not an isolated instance but a typical case chosen from among the mass of records left by the chief actors themselves.
弗雷·多明戈·佩雷斯显然是一位勇敢而有信念的人——他后来为自己所从事的传教事业献出了生命——当多明我会从雷科莱托会手中暂时接管该地区时，他担任桑巴莱斯海岸的多明我会副主教。
Fray Domingo Perez, evidently a man of courage and conviction, for he later lost his life in the work of which he wrote, was the Dominican vicar on the Zambales coast when that Order temporarily took over the district from the Recollects.
