Try again:
#define BEGIN {
#define END ; }
#define IF if (
#define THEN ) {
#define ELSE ; } {
There is no ENDIF in Pascal, and the END above will suffice; Pascal
does not permit a semicolon in front of an ELSE, so in the case of, for
example:
IF boolExpr THEN
WRITELN('true')
ELSE
WRITELN('false');
1. You need to compensate for the missing semicolon before the ELSE
2. You need to recognize the ' as a STRING delimiter, instead of just a
character
3. You need to provide for WRITELN (a library function?)
etc...
So C cannot do a COMPLETE Pascal play-along. And what about TYPE, VAR,
NESTED PROCEDURES AND FUNCTIONS, well-structured UNITs/MODULEs, etc...

Modify the equilibrium of the vertically-oriented particle decelerator to
result in the reestablishment of its resistance to counterproductive
atmospheric penetration.
