As most readers are aware, what has come to be known as "Zeritsky's law" was passed by Congress and signed by the President three days after Monahan's story broke.
正如大多數讀者知道的那樣，莫納漢的故事公之于眾之后三天，現今人所共知的"齊里茨基法"即為國會通過，并由總統簽署。
Seventy-five years after Mrs. Graham's cat feel into the freezer, it became the law of the land that the mandatory penalty for anyone applying quick-freezing methods to any living thing, human or animal, was death. Also, all quick-frozen people were to be defrosted immediately.
格雷厄姆太太的貓掉進冰柜七十五年后，國家法律規定，任何人不得運用快速冷凍方法，對任何活的東西，不管是人還是動物，施行冷凍，否則處以死刑。同時，所有快速冷凍的人必須立即解凍。
Los Angeles papers reported that beginning on the day Monahan's story appeared, men by the thousands poured into the city. They continued to come, choking every available means of transport, for the next two days — until, that is, Zerisky's Law went through.
洛杉磯報紙報道說，從莫納漢的故事發表的那一天起，成千上萬的男人們涌入該城。接著兩天，進城的人絡繹不絕，把一切交通全部堵塞了——一直到齊里茨基法在國會通過。
When we consider the date, and remember that due to the gravity of the international situation, a bill had just been passed drafting all men from 16 to 60, we realize why Congress had to act.
如果我們考慮一下齊里茨基法通過的日期，并回憶一下由于國際形勢嚴峻，在此之前剛剛通過一項議案，對十六歲到六十歲的男人統統實行征兵，我們就會明白國會當時為什么要采取行動了。
The Zeritskys, of course, were among the first to be taken. Because of their experience, they were put in charge of a military warehouse for dehydrated foods, and warned not to get any ideas for a new business.
齊里茨基四兄弟，當然是第一批被征入伍的。鑒于他們的經歷，他們被指定負責一座軍用脫水食品倉庫，并受到警告，不要再想做什么新的生意。
