Part 3 Jan. 16, 2022, 8:19 p.m.

行程150英里的游击战。
on a pounding three-day, 150-mile ride around McClellan's huge army.
他的手下焚烧联邦营地，砍倒电报线，
His men burned Federal camps, cut down telegraph poles,
抓俘虏、马匹和骡子，
took prisoners and horses and mules,
他们放慢脚步时，只是为了接受来自
沿途女人的花束和亲吻。
and slowed only to accept bouquets and kisses from women along the way.
徒劳追击的是斯图亚特自己的岳父，
In vain pursuit was Stuart's own father-in-law,
他一直效忠联邦，并成为一名将军——
who had stayed loyal to the Union and become a general--
斯图亚特说这将是他“唯一后悔的决定，
a decision Stuart said he would "regret but once,
而且会永远后悔。”
and that will be continuously."
整个战役期间，
Throughout the whole campaign,
李仔细观察了麦克莱伦在半岛上的试探性前进。
Lee carefully observed McClellan's tentative advance up the peninsula.
就在麦克莱伦准备最后围攻里士满时，
As McClellan was preparing at last to lay siege to Richmond,
李率先于6月26日在梅卡尼克斯维尔祭出奇兵。
Lee surprised him first, at Mechanicsville on June 26th.
这是一次大胆的行动。
It was a daring move.
李将军无视所有的军事惯例，
Defying all military convention,
将他的少量部队化整为零，进攻庞大的北军，
Lee divided his tiny force and then attacked the huge Union army,
赌麦克莱伦会因过度谨慎而不敢进入里士满。
gambling that McClellan would be too cautious to move into Richmond.
李的突击没什么效果。
Lee's assault didn't work.
他在梅卡尼克斯维尔损失了1500人，
He lost 1,500 men at Mechanicsville,
但他没有罢手。
but he would not let up.
李决心把麦克莱伦赶出弗吉尼亚，继续进行攻击。
Determined to drive McClellan out of Virginia, Lee kept on the attack.
战斗就此展开。
And so it went.
7天时间里，两军激烈交锋。
For seven days, the two armies clashed.
从盖恩斯磨坊...
From Gaine's Mill...
从萨维奇车站...
from Savage's station...
到弗雷泽农场...
to Frayser's farm...
以及莫尔文高地，
and Malvern hill,
在那里北军炮手阻截了从长坡冲上来的南军。
Where Federal gunners stopped the Confederates who came at them up the long slope.
“烟雾尚未消散，
"Our ears had been filled all night
“我们的耳朵就充斥着痛苦的哀号♥。
"with agonizing cries before the fog was lifted.
“但现在我们看到了5千死尸或伤兵倒在地上。
"But now our eyes saw that 5,000 dead or wounded men were on the ground.
“1/3敌军被射杀或垂死，
"A third of them were dead or dying,
“但不少人还活着在动，在战场上
"but enough of them were alive and moving to give the field
形成一幅奇特的爬行景象。”
a singular crawling effect."
“这7天战役中的每一场战役，
"Each of the battles of those seven days
“都给我们医院带来大量伤员。
"brought a harvest of wounded to our hospital.
“我常常在往返旅馆的路上把自己遮个严严实实，
"I used to veil myself closely as I walked to and from my hotel,
“这样也许能躲开那些可怕的景象。
"that I might shut out the dreadful sights.
“一次我看到一辆令人恐怖的马车。
"Once I did see one of those dreadful wagons.
“当马车沿街行驶时，车里一只举起的
僵硬胳膊颤抖着，
"in it, a stiff arm was raised, and it shook as it was driven down the street,
仿佛死去的主人吁求上天给他复仇。”
as though the dead owner appealed to heaven for vengeance."
7天战役北军胜了其中一场，
All but one of the battles of the seven days were Union victories,
然而麦克莱伦还是将之当作失败，
Yet McClellan treated them as defeats,
继续退却，直到他安全抵达位于
continuing to back down until he reached the safety of Federal gunboats

北军将领们讨论展开一场反♥攻♥。
Union officers urged a counterattack.
李将军已经损失了2万人。
Lee had lost 20,000 men.
麦克莱伦拒绝了。
McClellan refused.
一位军官暗示，他的司令官不是出于怯懦就是叛国。
One officer suggested his commander was motivated either by cowardice or treason.
仅1周时间，李将军已经完全让北军主将闻风丧胆，
In just one week, Lee had completely unnerved the Union general
第一次证明他的实力将使他成就传奇——
and demonstrated for the first time the strengths that would make him a legend--
善用奇兵，大胆和一种可怕的解读对手想法的能力。
surprise, audacity, and an eerie ability to read his opponent's mind.
仅用了7天，麦克莱伦已经完败。
In just seven days, McClellan had been totally out-generaled.
“我已对战场上可怖的景象感到厌倦，
"I am tired of the sickening sight of the battlefield,
“到处是残缺不全的尸体和可怜的伤员。
"with its mangled corpses and poor suffering wounded.
花费如此大的代价获取胜利，对我没有什么吸引力。”
Victory has no charms for me when purchased at such cost."
7月7日，恼火的林肯坐船南下去见他的大军统帅。
On July 7th, an exasperated Lincoln sailed down to see his commanding general.
麦克莱伦仍坚持他没有输。他只是没有获胜。
He had not lost, McClellan insisted. He had merely failed to win.
他需要至少5万人，或许要10万。
He needed 50,000 more men, or perhaps 100,000.
没有这么多人可用，林肯告诉他。
No such numbers were available, Lincoln told him.
如果麦克莱伦觉得他无法恢复攻势，
If McClellan did not feel he could resume the offensive,
他的部队将被撤出半岛。
his men would be withdrawn from the peninsula.
“就算我给麦克莱伦他要求的那么多人，
"If I gave McClellan all the men he asks for,
“那些人也找不到足够的房♥间睡觉。
"they couldn't find room to lie down.
“他们将不得不站着睡觉。
"they'd have to sleep standing up.
“把人送到那样的部队就象在谷仓里铲跳蚤——
"Sending men to that army is like shoveling fleas across a barnyard--
没有一半的人能送到那儿。”
not half of them get there."
“9月3日。
"September 3.
“今天我们乘汽船沿波托马克河北上，经过华盛顿，
"Today we took a steamer and went up the Potomac passing Washington
在乔治敦上岸。
and landed at Georgetown.
“想要重回去年3月我们开战之初的局面都很困难，
"It is hard to have reached the point we started from last march,
而里士满依然是叛军的首都。”
and Richmond is still the rebel capital."
