His project of killing Napoleon, and his calculations of the cabalistic numbers, and of the beast of the Apocalypse struck him now as incomprehensible and positively ludicrous. 现在他觉得,他那刺杀拿破仑的企图,他推算那神秘的数字和“启示录”上的那头兽,都是莫明其妙的,甚至是可笑的。
An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψιςapokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning "uncovering"), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden, “a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities".
