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.

我们立刻稍稍转了个方向，不再开火，目睹了堪称历次战争中最壮烈的一场冲锋。

It was the storming of Fort Robinett.

那是对罗比内特要塞的强攻。

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

我们看到的那一大片叛军分成了三路纵队。

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.

他们不顾一切地向要塞推进，翻越倒伏的树木，低着头顶着我们所有火炮倾泻而出的可怕霰弹风暴前进。

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

近距离的密集枪火也像割草一样把他们成片撂倒。

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

看到勇士们遭到如此残酷的屠戮，即便是敌人也会心生怜悯。

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

冲锋失败、战斗的喧嚣平息之后，我急忙奔下到罗比内特要塞前方。

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

我的水壶里装满了水，我把它凑到许多垂死敌兵的唇边——他们已不再是敌人。
