No one from the common soldier to the general expected a battle; and they were all calmly engaged in peaceful occupations & feeding their horses in the cavalry, gathering wood in the infantry. 两个兵团的人员,从士兵到将军,都没有料到要会战,竟泰然自若地从事和平劳动:骑兵喂马,步兵收拾木柴。
A general with a suite came on to the redoubt, and after talking to the colonel and looking angrily at Pierre, went away again, ordering the infantry standing behind the battery guarding it to lie down, so as to be less exposed to fire. 有一个将军带着随从登上土岗,同上校谈了一会儿,忿忿地看了看皮埃尔,就走下去了,他命令站在炮垒后面的士兵卧倒,以减少危险。
