I had recourse to a physician, but he also was practising a more wholesale mode of slaughter than that which his profession had been supposed at all times to open to him.
Я обратился к другому врачу. Но он тоже готовился к убийствам в гораздо более широких масштабах, чем это когда-либо признавалось правом его профессии.

Maybe she'd been asking for a reason , for something to justify this ongoing trespass into foreign soil, the capture and slaughter of its natives.
Возможно, ее интересовала причина, оправдание бесконечной вылазки на вражескую территорию, убийства и пленения туземцев.

There were hours that day when I clean forgot Nettie, in dreaming of battles and victories by land and sea, of shell fire, and entrenchments, and the heaped slaughter of many thousands of men.
В этот день я временами совершенно забывал Нетти, мечтая о битвах и победах на суше и на море, о бомбардировках и траншеях и о великой бойне, где погибнут многие тысячи людей.

So they get pumped full of medicines, not to make them healthy, you understand, but to allow them to survive their confinement and reach slaughter weight. I’m talking about mammoth quantities of antibiotics.”
Поэтому их до отказа накачивают антибиотиками – как ты понимаешь, не затем, чтобы они были здоровы, а только затем, чтобы смогли выжить в этом концлагере и при этом достичь убойной массы.

And if it were not for Christ's covenant, they would slaughter one another down to the last two men on earth.
И если бы не обетование Христово, то так и истребили бы друг друга даже до последних двух человек на земле.

Perhaps they were not very anxious to detain them; for they had of late been sated with the blood of such wretches, and, like other ferocious animals, were, through long slaughter, become tired of carnage.
Возможно, что солдаты не очень-то старались их удержать, потому что были уже пресыщены кровью своих несчастных жертв: иной раз даже дикие, кровожадные звери пресыщаются убийствами.

Better," she said, "I had still been in Lochleven, than seen the slaughter made by rebels among the subjects who offered themselves to death for my sake.

The exhausted warrior reclined against the hut, there having been no time to remove him, and Hurry lay, almost as helpless as a log, tethered like a sheep on its way to the slaughter, near the middle of the platform.
Обессилевший в схватке индейский воин, которого не успели подобрать, сидел, прислонившись спиной к стене, а Непоседа, беспомощный, как бревно, и связанный, как баран, которого тащат на бойню, лежал на самой середине платформы.
