The car drew up below the notice and beside an iron post embedded in concrete.

汽车停在告示下方和一根嵌在混凝土中的铁柱旁边。

They tore the clothes from our body, they threw us down upon our knees and they tied our hands to the iron post. The first blow of the lash felt as if our spine had been cut in two.

他们把我们身上的衣服扯下来，让我们跪在地上，然后把我们的手绑在铁柱上。鞭子的第一击感觉就像我们的脊椎被切成两半。
