Dear F –
親愛的父親：
Just a hurried line as we start off tonight. The front line trenches are nine miles off from here so it wont be a very long march.
我們今晚出發(fā)時，只是匆匆準備了一下。前線戰(zhàn)壕距這里有九英里，所以不會行軍太長時間。
This is the great effort to break through and end the war.
這是突破戰(zhàn)線和結束戰(zhàn)爭的偉大努力。
The guns have been going deafeningly all day, without a single stop.
一整天，槍聲在耳畔此起彼伏，一刻沒停歇。
We have to push through at all costs so we won’t have much time in the trenches, which is great luck.
我們必須不惜一切代價完成任務，因此我們待在戰(zhàn)壕里的時間就沒剩多少了，這真是太幸運了。
Funny to think one will be in the thick of it tomorrow.
一想到明天將在槍林彈雨中穿行，我甚至覺得好笑。
One’s first experience of shell fire not in the trenches but in the open.
第一次接觸炮彈，不是在戰(zhàn)壕里，而是在野外。
This is one of the advantages of a Flying Division, you have to keep moving.

It came down in sheets steadily.

They are staking a tremendous lot on this great advancing movement as if it succeeds the war won’t go on for long.
他們在這場聲勢浩大的行軍路上押下了巨大賭注，就好像這場戰(zhàn)事不會持續(xù)太久。
You have no idea what enormous issues depend on the next few days.
你永遠不知道未來幾天會發(fā)生什么重大事件。
This will be my last letter most likely for some time as we won’t get any time for writing this next week, but I will try and send Field post cards.
這恐怕是短期內(nèi)我最后的一封信，因為下周就抽不出空寫家書了，但我會盡量試著給你寄戰(zhàn)場的明信片。
Well so long old dears.
好好保重，老家伙們。
Dear love
致我的摯愛
John
