WAR MEMORIES
Story A Death of a Village
Do Chuc is a 48-year-old① Vietnamese farmer whose two daughters and aunt were killed by American soldiers② in My Lai that day[1]．He and his family were eating breakfast when the American soldiers entered the village[2] and ordered all civilians out of their homes．Together with③ other villagers, they were marched④ a few hundred metres into the village square where they were told to sit[3]．“Still we had no reason to be afraid，” Chuc remembered．“Everyone was calm．We'd seen it all before．” Then he watched in surprise⑤ as the soldiers set up⑥ a machine gun．The calm ended and panic⑦ set in．The people began weeping⑧ and praying⑨．One man showed his identification⑩ papers to a soldier, but the American simply said, “Sorry．” Then the shooting started．Chuc was wounded in the leg and almost unconscious ， but he was covered by a pile of dead bodies and thus, his life was saved．After waiting an hour, he fled the village ．(Adapted from My Lai 4 by Seymour Hersh)
[1] whose two daughters．．．是whose引導的定語從句，修飾farmer。
[2] be doing．．．when．．．表示“正在做……這時……”。
[3] where引導定語從句，修飾the village square。
Story B　No More Fighting
We were on the frontier and on Christmas morning we stuck up a board displaying “A Merry Christmas” on it．The enemy had stuck up a similar one．Two of our men then threw their equipment off and climbed out of the trench with their hands above their heads[4] as our representatives ．Two of the Germans did the same．They greeted each other and shook hands ．Then we all got out of the trench．Bill (our officer) tried to prevent it but it was too late, so he and the other officers climbed out, too．We, and the Germans, walked through the mud and met in the middle of no-man's land．
[4]此處是with復合結構，其中介詞短語作賓補。
We spent all day with one another ．Some of them could speak English．By the look of them, their trenches were in as bad a state as our own．One of their men, speaking in English[5], said that he had worked in England for some years and that he was fed up to the neck with this war and would be glad when it was over [6]．We told him he wasn't the only one who was fed up with it．The German officer asked Bill if we would like some beer and they brought it over to us．Bill distributed the beer among us and we consumed a lot．The officers came to an understanding that we would celebrate Christmas in temporary peace until midnight[7]．
[5]speaking in English是動詞-ing形式短語作后置定語，修飾One of their men。
[6]兩個that都引導賓語從句。
[7]that引導同位語從句，解釋說明understanding的內容。
Just before midnight ， we all decided not to start firing before they did．We'd formed a bond and during the whole of Boxing Day, we never fired a shot and they the same; each side seemed to be waiting for the other to set the ball rolling ．One of their men shouted across in English and asked how we had enjoyed the beer．We replied that we were very grateful and spent the whole day chatting with them．That evening we were replaced by other soldiers．(Adapted from Old Soldiers Never Die by Frank Richards)
Story C　Brave Patient
I got a phone call from the chief nurse ， saying, “You've got a patient there who is going to get an award ．Make sure that the ward looks good．” This really turned me off to begin with, “Let's clean up the ward because we've got VIPs coming in．” Well, the VIPs happened to be a general and a group of about a dozen people．It was this patient's second visit to us and this time he'd had both his legs blown off [8]—he was all of about 20 years old．When he was waking up after the surgeon had finished, he whispered， “Don't you remember me, ma'am？” I said, “Oh yeah！” But really I didn't because there were so many of them．The general was coming to give him the award because he happened to be number 20，000 to come through this hospital．They had this little ceremony， where they presented him with a Purple Heart and a watch．As the general handed him the watch, “from the army, to show our appreciation，” the kid more or less threw the watch back at him．He said something like, “I can't accept this, sir; it's not going to help me walk．” After this little incident， I went over and took him in my arms．If I remember correctly, I started sobbing and I think he was crying, too．I really admired him for that．That was the only time I let somebody see what I felt．It took a lot for him to do that, and it sort of said what this war was all about to me．(Adapted from A Piece of My Heart by Keith Walker)
[8] 此處是have ＋賓語＋過去分詞，意為“遭受某種不幸的事情”。
戰爭回憶
故事A　一個村莊的毀滅
杜沙是一位48歲的越南農民，他的兩個女兒和姑姑在“美萊大屠殺”那天被美國士兵殺害了。他和家人正在吃早餐，這時美國士兵進村了，命令所有村民從家里出來。他們和其他村民一起被驅趕了幾百米，走進了村里的廣場，在那里他們被命令坐下?！拔覀內匀挥X得沒什么可怕的。”杜沙回憶道，“每個人都很平靜。我們以前都經歷過這樣的事情?！苯又泽@地看到美國兵架起了一把機關槍。平靜結束了，恐慌開始了。人們開始哭泣，乞求。一個男人給一個美國兵看他的身份證件，但是這個美國人只是說了句“對不起”。接下來，掃射開始了。杜沙的腿受了傷，幾乎不省人事，但他被一堆尸體覆蓋，幸存下來。等了一個小時后，他逃離了這個村子。(摘選自西摩·赫什的《美萊大屠殺4》)
故事B　圣誕無戰事
我們當時在前線，圣誕節那天早晨，我們豎起了一塊牌子，上面寫著“圣誕節快樂”。敵方也豎起了一塊類似的牌子。我們的兩個人作為代表，扔掉裝備，雙手舉過頭頂從戰壕中爬出來。兩個德國人也這樣做了。他們互相問候、握手。然后所有人都走出了戰壕。比爾(我們的軍官)想阻止，但是已經太晚了，因此他和其他軍官也爬出了戰壕。我們和德國人一起走過了泥地，在不屬于任何一方的中間地帶會面。
我們在一起待了一整天。他們有些人會說英語，從他們的樣子看，他們的戰壕和我們的一樣糟糕。他們中的一個人用英語說，他在英國工作過幾年，受夠了這場戰爭，如果戰爭結束，他會很高興。我們告訴他不只是他一個人煩透了這場戰爭。德國軍官問比爾想不想來幾桶啤酒，然后他們就搬來了幾桶。比爾在我們當中分發了啤酒，我們喝了很多。雙方軍官達成共識，午夜之前我們將暫時和平地慶祝圣誕節。
就在午夜之前，我們都決定不在他們開槍之前開火。我們建立了一種默契，整個節禮日，我們都沒有開過一槍，他們也一樣；雙方似乎都在等對方先開火。他們有個人用英語喊話，問我們啤酒味道怎么樣。我們回應說很感激他們，然后一整天都在和他們聊天。到了傍晚另外一些士兵取代了我們的位置。(摘選自弗蘭克·理查茲的《老兵永生》)
故事C　勇敢的病人
我接到護士長的電話，她說：“你那兒有個病人要得獎了，一定把病房弄得整潔些。”這話一開始就讓我很反感，“是大人物要來才收拾病房吧?！编?，這些大人物碰巧是位將軍和大約十幾人的陪同團。這是這個病人第二次來到我們這里，而這次他的雙腿都被炸沒了——他也就才二十幾歲。當他在外科醫生做完手術后醒來時，低聲說：“難道你不記得我了嗎，女士？”我答道：“哦，我記得！”但實際上我記不起來他是誰，因為病人實在太多了。將軍來給他頒獎，因為他恰好是進入這個醫院的第兩萬名傷員。他們舉行了一個小的頒獎儀式，授予他一枚紫心勛章和一塊表。當將軍將那塊“來自軍部，象征我們的感謝”的表遞給他時，這個孩子幾乎是將表一把給他扔回。他說了幾句話，大意是：“我不要這塊表，長官；它并不能幫我走路。”在這個小插曲之后，我走過去擁抱了他。如果我沒記錯的話，我當時哭了，我想他也哭了。我確實很佩服他當時那么做。那是唯一一次我讓別人明白了我的真實感受。他那么做是很需要勇氣的，這也多少反映了我對這場戰爭的看法。(摘選自凱斯·沃克的《心之彼方》)
