Dün gece uzun bir elektrik kesintisinden dolayı ödevimi yapamadım.
- Last night I could not do my homework on account of a long blackout.
Seigel was able to send two post cards home in 44 months via the Red Cross. The first one was completely blacked out by the Japanese censor's pen. The second one he sent, Seigel wrote that he weighed his usual weight of 130. Seigel's usual weight was 230 so the family could see that he had been severely starved while in captivity. Seigel had at least triumphed over the Japanese censor and his black pen.
And they were not surprised when Tang Ya reeled into the mess, his face livid and drawn with pain. Rip and Dane got him to his cabin before he blacked out. But all they could learn from him during the interval before he lost consciousness was that his head was bursting and he couldn't stand it. Over his limp body they stared at one another bleakly.
The Venetian blinds and the drapes, she thought, would completely black out the room from the ocean side.
I have blacked out your television, every station in the world is mine.
