朝圣者

A petty pharmaceutic firm conducted a pilot scheme among pilgrims with piercing eyes.

一个小制药公司那些观察力敏锐朝圣者当中进行了一个试验性计划。

Possibly the point here is not the sheer quantity but the inner attitude of the Pilgrim: the starets wishes to test his obedience and readiness to fulfil an appointed task without deviation.

也许关于确定数目，而于朝圣者内心态度——长老希望以此试验服，是否能毫无偏差地完成长老所要做。
