寻找过去 meaning in Chinese

searching for the past

But he who was addressed stood there , stupefied , bewildered , stunned ; his haggard eyes glanced around , as if in search of the traces of some terrible event , and with his clinched hands he seemed striving to shut out horrible recollections
但对方却呆在那里了，只是瞪着眼，现出一副神志不清的样子，他那惊慌失措的眼睛向四面环顾着，象是寻找过去某件可怕的事情的痕迹似的，双手紧紧地握成了拳头，似乎竭力要赶走某种恐怖的回忆。
