Natsuo Kirinoの "OUT" を読んでいます。死体をバラバラにするのにチェインソーを使おうとは凄い発想ですね。

Unfortunately, they soon realized they wouldn't be able to use the power saw Jomonji had acquired for cutting the bones. During the trial run, it sent a fine mist of bone and flesh flying in their eyes. They would need goggles if they were going to use it in the future. As the work progressed, the room became saturated with blood, and the air was filled with a foul stench from the entrails, just as had the horror associated with it was somehow less accurate.

さて、最後の文に出てきた "entrails" の意味は何でしょう?

・Collins Dictionary: (plural noun) The entrails of people or animals are their inside parts, especially their intestines.: Open the belly lengthwise and remove all the entrails.
・Wiktionary: an internal organ of an animal.: Those blackguards have no more respect for an entrail, or a sinew, or a vital organ, than if they were gutting dog-fish.
・Merriam-Webster: (plural): the interior or internal parts of something: hairy entrails of the sofa

"entrails" が何だかはっきりすると "foul stench" がますます嫌な臭いになって来ました。
