这是美南北战争的北方将军劳伦斯对战俘说的话.在下是听了好久才写下来
You men gather around.I have been talking with Private Bucklin.He's told me
about your problem.There's nothing I can do today.We are moving out in a few
minutes.We will be moving all day.I've be ordered to take you men with me.I'm
told that ... if you do not come,I can shoot you.Well,you know I won't do
that.Maybe somebody else will,but I won't.So,that's that.Here is the
situation.The whole red army is up that road a ways waiting for us.This is no
time for an argument.I tell you,we could surely use you fellows.We are now
well below half strength.Whether you fight or not,that's up to you.Whether
you come along is ....WELL,you are coming.You kown who we are.If you fight
alongside us,there's a few things you must know.This regiment was formed last
summer in Maine.There were 1000 of us then.There are less than 300 of us
now.All of us volunteered to fight for the Union,just as you did.Some came
mainly because we were bored at home.Thought this look like it might be
fun.some came because they were ashamed not to.Many of us came bacause it was
the right thing to do.And all of us have seen men die.This is a different
kind of army.If you look back through hitory,you will see men fighting for
pay...for women,for some other kind of loot.They fight for land,power.Becausw
a king leads them,or just because they like killing.We are here for something
new.This has not happened much in the history of the world.We are an army out
to set other men free.America should be free around.All of it.Not divided by
a line between slave state and free.All the way from here to the Pacific
ocean.No men has to bow.No men born the royalty.Here we judge you by what you
do,not by who your father was.Here you can be something.Here is the place to
build a home.But it's not the land.There is always more land.It's the idea
that we all have value.You and me,what we are fighting for,in the end...we
are fighting for each other....Sorry ,Ididn't mean to preach.You go ahead.You
talk for a while.If you choose to join us and want your muskets back,you can
have them.Nothing more will be said by anybody,anywhere.If you choose not to
join us,you can came along under guard.When this is over,I'll do what I can
...to see you get a fair treatment,but for now,we're moving out.Gentlemen,I
think if we lose this fight...we lose the war.So,if you choose to join us ,I
'll be pernally very grateful. |
