Audiobook Dictation: “When morning came the firing opened…”

When morning came the firing opened, and for all that day the battle raged fiercely at the left and center left, we getting the worst of it, too.

天一亮，炮火便打响了，整整一天，左翼和中路偏左一带战斗激烈，而且吃亏的还是我们。

The Rebels were charging works that they themselves had built when they held the town during Halleck's siege. General Haccelman and many other of our officers had fallen.

叛军冲击的正是他们当年在哈勒克围城期间据守该城时亲手修筑的工事。哈塞尔曼将军和我们的许多军官都已阵亡。

Our own division, though fighting some, had lost but few men.

我们自己的师虽然也打了些仗，却只损失了寥寥几人。

That evening an order came for us--Hamilton's Division--to assault the enemy's left flank at midnight.

那天傍晚，我们——汉密尔顿师——接到命令，要在午夜突袭敌军左翼。

Before the hour came, however, the move was decided to be too dangerous, and we changed our position to one nearer the forts.

然而还没到时候，上头便认定这一行动太过危险，我们于是转移到离要塞更近的位置。

All the night we lay there under the brightest moonlight I ever saw.

那一整夜，我们就躺在那里，头顶是我生平所见最明亮的月光。

Under the same quiet moonlight, and only six hundred yards away from us, also lay the victorious Rebel army.

就在同样宁静的月光下，离我们仅六百码之处，得胜的叛军也正躺着歇息。

Yet it looked very bad for us.

然而局势看上去对我们非常不利。

Every house in town was full of our wounded and our dead lay everywhere.

城里每一户人家都挤满了我们的伤员，而我们的阵亡将士遍地都是。
