Audiobook Dictation: “Instantly we changed direction a little…”

Instantly we changed direction a little and, without further firing, witnessed one of the greatest assaults of any war.

我們立刻稍稍轉了個方向，不再開火，目睹了堪稱歷次戰爭中最壯烈的一場衝鋒。

It was the storming of Fort Robinett.

那是對羅比內特要塞的強攻。

The cloud of Rebels we had seen divided itself into three columns.

我們看到的那一大片叛軍分成了三路縱隊。

These recklessly advanced on the forts, climbing over the fallen trees and bending their heads against the awful storm of grape and canister from all our cannon.

他們不顧一切地向要塞推進，翻越倒伏的樹木，低著頭頂著我們所有火砲傾瀉而出的可怕霰彈風暴前進。

A perfect blaze of close range musketry, too, mowed them down like grass.

近距離的密集槍火也像割草一樣把他們成片撂倒。

Even a foe could feel pity to see brave men so cruelly slaughtered.

看到勇士們遭到如此殘酷的屠戮，即便是敵人也會心生憐憫。

When the assault had failed and the noise of battle was stilled, I hurried down in front of Robinett.

衝鋒失敗、戰鬥的喧囂平息之後，我急忙奔下到羅比內特要塞前方。

My canteen was full of water and I pressed it to the lips of many a dying enemy--enemy no longer.

我的水壺裡裝滿了水，我把它湊到許多垂死敵兵的唇邊——他們已不再是敵人。
