The first point to which attention should be called is that the comic does not exist outside the pale of what is strictly HUMAN.

首先要注意的一点是， 喜剧并不存在于严格的人类范围之外。

They laid off the ten states—the whole Confederacy with the exception of Tennessee—still outside the pale, into five military districts, each commanded by a military officer appointed by the President.

他们裁掉了十个州——除了田纳西州之外的整个邦联——仍然在苍白之外，分为五个军区，每个军区由总统任命的一名军官指挥。
