My biography of Buck has, I’m told, been severely cut in the Chinese edition: certainly it looks surprisingly slim.

据说，我写的赛珍珠传记的中文版被大幅删减，印刷品出奇的薄。

Rescue efforts have been severely obstructed by the roads that have been cut and land that is too steep and unstable for helicopters to land.

救援工作受到严重阻碍的道路被切断和土地是过于陡峭的和不稳定的直升机降落。
