在打退美军的两次反♥攻♥之后
After beating back
two American counterattacks,
德军从阿尔及利亚的门户——
the Germans poured westward
through the Kasserine Pass,
卡塞林山口向西推进
gateway to Algeria,
威胁着位于特贝萨的盟军主要供应基地
threatening the Allies' main
supply base at Tebessa.
两周的战斗美军损失6千人
In two weeks of fighting,
6,000 Americans were lost.

活着的人三分之一
A third of those who lived
都是神经精神障碍的受害者

这是他们首次参战的经历造成的
brought on by the first
experience of battle
对此他们完全没有准备
for which they were totally
unprepared.
2400人投降
2,400 surrendered.
美国人不懂得如何作战
The Americans simply didn't
know how to fight,
一位英国指挥官说
a British commander said,
如果他们不马上学会
and if they didn't
learn quickly,
在进攻欧洲过程中他们
they "will play no useful
part whatsoever"
“就无法发挥任何作用”
in the invasion of Europe.
艾森豪威尔将军同意这个说法
General Eisenhower agreed.
他沮丧的向朋友透露“我们迄今为止的行动
"Our operations to date,"
he confided grimly to a friend,
“将在未来25年
"will be condemned
in their entirety
所有战争学院的课堂上大受指责”
by all War College classes
for the next 25 years."
记者厄尼.派尔跟随部队
The correspondent Ernie Pyle
was with the troops
努力想了解他所看到的东西
and struggled to make sense
of what he'd seen.
“你们国内的人必定对我军
"You folks
at home must be disappointed
在突尼斯的所作所为感到失望”
at what happened to our
American troops in Tunisia."
“我个人觉得遭受这样的挫折
"Personally, I feel that some
such setback as this...
“是非常不幸的尽管这殃及很多美军
"tragic though it is
for many Americans,
“尽管对他们来说已无可挽回
"for whom it is now too late...
对我们来说却不完全是坏事”
is not entirely
a bad thing for us."
“自我感觉良好不算什么
"It's all right to have
a good opinion of yourself,
“但我们美国人太自以为是
"but we Americans
are so smug with our cockiness.
“我们有这样的感觉只是因为我们是美国人
"We somehow feel that just
because we're Americans
我们有三头六臂”
we can whip our weight
in Wildcats."
但我认为每场地面战争都不得不这样开始
But I think every
ground war has to begin that way
因为将要发生的事是难以想象的
because what's going to happen
to people is so unthinkable.
因此只有在你呆了一段时间以后
So it's only after you've been
in it a little while
保罗.福赛尔步兵
你能够很好的理解
that you're capable
of understanding
所发生的事情并把事情做好
what's happening well
enough to do well at it.
你必须把事情做好
And you have to do well at it.
美国人团结一心
The Americans
pulled themselves together.

Air strikes staggered
the German advance.

The enemy was running out

with everything they needed
to keep fighting.
由于害怕遭到反♥攻♥
Fearing a counterattack,
隆美尔从卡塞林山口撤军
Rommel pulled back
through the Kasserine Pass.
艾森豪威尔撤下无能的指挥官
Eisenhower replaced
his inept commander
替换为一位名叫乔治S.巴顿的少将
with a Major General
named George S. Patton,
他将把被围的第二军团
who would transform
the beleaguered Second Corps
变成一支坚定善战的部队
into a determined,
capable force.
巴顿纯粹凭一己之力
It was purely a matter of Patton
利用不同的策略击败了他们这些笨蛋
using different tactics
to beat them suckers.
确实如此
That's what it amounted to.
我们以往面对隆美尔军表现很糟糕
We'd done so poorly towards,
uh, Rommel's forces,
但接下来我们做对了
but next time around
we'd done it right.
现在盟军推进
Now the Allies pushed forward,
把德国和意大利军队包围在

who was reported missing,
来自卢温三等兵查尔斯.曼

I bled like a stuck hog.
如果高一寸或低一寸
If that had been
an inch higher or lower,
我就已经完蛋了
I'd have had it.
持续6个月之久的北非行动
The prolonged six-month
campaign in North Africa
迫使盟军进攻法国的计划
had forced the Allies to
postpone the planned invasion
再一次延期
of France once again...
从8月延至第二年春天
from August until
spring of the following year.
但盟军证明了
But the Allies had proven
他们能够团结一致走向胜利
that they could work together
toward victory.
缺乏经验的美国人
And the inexperienced Americans
开始学会怎么打仗
were beginning
to learn how to fight.
“士兵们最明显的变化
"The most
vivid change in our men
“就是他们现在谈论杀敌时
"is the casual
and workshop manner
“不再是漫不经心和敷衍的态度

about killing.

you folks at home can do
“所能造成的最大危害
"for our men over here
