军人的

It was a veteran, very much bent, extremely wrinkled, and pale, in a uniform of the Louis XV. pattern, bearing on his breast the little oval plaque of red cloth, with the crossed swords, the soldier's cross of Saint-Louis,and adorned, in addition, with a coat-sleeve, which had no arm within it, with a silver chin and a wooden leg.

那是个残废军人，背驼得厉害，满脸皱皮，全白的头发，穿一身路易十五时期的军服，胸前有一块椭圆形的小红呢牌子，上面是两把交叉的剑，这便是大兵们的圣路易十字勋章，他另外还挂一些别的勋章：一只没有手臂的衣袖、一个银下巴和一条木腿。

But he said he could earn more pay as an ordinary soldier; his stronger motives were adventure,"idealism", and the fact that he was stifling in Paris,"bored shitless", if he didn't make war somewhere.

但是他说，作为一位普通的军人所得到的薪金会更高；如果那德尔没有在世界各地制造战争的话，那么他更大的动机便是想去冒险，"对理想的追求"，而且因为在法国巴黎的沉闷生活而使他感到极其的烦躁。

He asks several soldiers, in unquoted dialogue, certain questions trying to see if they have similar doubts and fears as he does; and he gets little confirmation of his anxieties in reply.

他问一些军人，在不引述的对话中，特定的问题尝试见到如果当他做的时候，他们有相似的怀疑和恐惧；而且他得到答复的小他焦虑的证实。

On the road Tom he told me all about how it was reckoned I was murdered, and how pap disappeared pretty soon, and didn't come back no more, and what a stir there was when Jim run away; and I told Tom all about our Royal Nonesuch rapscallions, and as much of the raft voyage as I had time to; and as we struck into the town and up through the -- here comes a raging rush of people with torches, and an awful whooping and yelling, and banging tin pans and blowing horns; and we jumped to one side to let them go by; and as they went by I see they had the king and the duke astraddle of a rail -- that is, I knowed it WAS the king and the duke, though they was all over tar and feathers, and didn't look like nothing in the world that was human -- just looked like a couple of monstrous big soldier-plumes.

在路上，汤姆告诉了我，当初人家怎样以为我是被谋害了，我爸又是怎样在不久以后失踪的，从此一去不回；杰姆逃走的时候又是怎样引起了震动的；一桩桩、一件件，原原本本都讲了。我呢，对汤姆讲了有关两个流氓演出《王室异兽》的事以及在木筏上一路漂流等等的全部经过。因为时间不多，只能讲到哪里就算哪里。我们到了镇上，直奔镇子的中心――那时是八点半钟――只见有一大群人象潮水般涌来，手执火把，一路吼啊，叫啊，使劲地敲起白铁锅，吹起号角。我们跳到了一旁，让大伙儿过去。队伍走过时，只见国王和公爵给骑在一根单杠上――其实，那只是我认为是国王和公爵，因为他们遍身给涂了漆，粘满了羽毛，简直已经不成人形――乍一看，简直象两根军人戴的狰狞可怕的粗翎子。

During her life as a solider, she learnt to be self-dependent, indomitable, fortitudinous. On the other hand, as a manager, she is endued the easy and sagacious way of working.

军人最可贵的品质就是勇于拼搏，勇往直前，多年的军旅生涯铸就了吴晓艳自力更生、艰苦创业的信念，当兵的经历赋予了她百折不挠、坚忍不拔的品质，职业经理人的职责又注定了她从容不迫、睿智的风格。

He did not find Prince Andrey at Olmütz that day.

他不认识什么人，虽然他穿着讲究的近卫军军服，但是那些在街上来来往往的高级官员——廷臣和军人却坐着豪华的马车，佩戴着羽饰、绶带和勋章，他们比这个近卫军的小军官的地位看来要高得多，他们不仅不愿意，而且不会去承认他的存在。

Many of them had volunteered out of idealistic motives for the work, some of them had been sent out under church auspices and received only thirty dollars a month, so it was doubly disillusioning to them to see trainloads of food that were meant to go to China's starving peasants go one thousand miles into the interior and then come one thousand miles back again by truck and boat to be sold by the military on the black market.

他们当中很多人是出于高尚的动机志愿参加这项工作的，有些人是由教会派出的，每月只拿三十美元的工资，因此当他们看到，一列车一列车的粮食经过一千英里的路程运到内地，本来是为救济中国饥饿的农民用的，岂料军人们又把这些粮食用车载船运经过一千英里倒运回来，在黑市上售卖时，他们倍加感到痛心疾首。

"With every car bomb that takes civilian toll, every insurgent's bullet that finds it mark, every roadside explosive that maims or kills one of our own brave men and women in uniform, the sacrifices mount and the result is anything but satisfactory."

每一次汽车炸弹的引爆都会导致平民的伤亡，每一颗叛乱分子的子弹都能找到它的目标。每一次路边的爆炸袭击都会使我们勇敢的军人伤残或致死。来自报道中牺牲的数字就表明结果并不能使人满意。

Not a single British soldier, then or later, spoke about showing the Iraqis who was boss, or the need to capture or kill the radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr; instead, the concentration was all on reinforcing the moderate majority and outwitting, rather than destroying, the 20 per cent or so who want the coalition out.

谈话期间，就是事后，也没有一个英国军人谈起要向伊拉克人民表明谁是真正的主人，或提起抓捕或击毙激进的什叶派神职人员萨德尔的话题。相反，谈论的焦点全部是如何强化温和的多数派，及采取智胜办法对付那些约占20%但想赶走联军的少数派别问题。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
