The guards' fury was nothing compared to that of the other hostages, because, obviously they were scared -- we were all scared -- and they were afraid that, because of me, they would be punished.
La furia delle guardie non fu pari a quella  dei miei compagni, perché, ovviamente, erano spaventati. Tutti eravamo spaventati, e loro avevano paura che per colpa mia sarebbero stati puniti.
