主题:人艰不拆讲笑话之六 2023年新楼 -- 骨头龙
以下来自Valley Forge National Historical Park。背景介绍:在1777-1778年大陆军与英军艰苦战斗的时候,费城已经被英军占领,大陆军决定在费城郊外积蓄力量。
Commander in Chief’s Guards
Always present Washington’s guard occupied huts here. This special detachment was created to protect the Commander in Chief, his official family, and his equipment, supplies, and papers. Washington required that each "life guard," as they called themselves, be born in North America. It was assumed such men would be loyal, as they had a vested interest in the success of the war.
Today, the tradition of the "life guard" continues in the form of the Third United States Infantry, a unit that stands guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington.
In general Orders issued from Headquarters in Cambridge on March 11, 1776, Washington Stated he wanted men “for their sobriety, honesty, and good behaviour; he wishes them to be from five feet eight inches high, to five feet ten inches, handsomely and well made, and as there is nothing in his eyes more desirable than Cleanliness in a Soldier; he desires that particular attention may be made, in the choice of such men, as are neat, and spruce.”
偷懒,下面直接抄谷歌翻译:
近卫军总司令
总是在这里展示华盛顿的守卫占领的小屋。这支特种部队的成立是为了保护总司令、他的官方家庭以及他的装备、物资和文件。华盛顿要求每个他们自称的“救生员”都出生在北美。人们认为这些人会忠诚,因为他们对战争的成功有既得利益。
今天,“救生员”的传统以美国第三步兵团的形式延续,该部队守卫在阿灵顿的无名烈士墓。
1776 年 3 月 11 日,在剑桥总部发布的一般命令中,华盛顿表示他需要男人“因为他们清醒、诚实和良好的行为;他希望他们的身高从五英尺八英寸到五英尺十英寸不等,做工精美,做工精良,因为在他眼中,没有什么比军人的清洁更令人向往的了;他希望在选择这样的人时要特别注意,因为他们要干净整洁。
