They

pride
comes

In
the
case
of
both
Napoleon
and
Hitl

the
many
victories
they
enjoyed
led
t
hem
to
believe
that
anything
was
possib

that
nothing
could
stand
in
their
way.

Russia's
icy
defender
was
to
prove
the
m
wrong.


人道是骄兵必败。
就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人
来说吧，他们所向披 靡，便以为自己战无不胜，
不可阻挡。但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。

He

他准备好俄罗斯人民会为 保卫祖国而

他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经

但他没有料到
在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌

俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒

Napoleon's
Campaign

In
the
spring
of
1812,
Napoleon
as
sembled
an
army
of
six
hundred
thousa
nd
men
on
the
borders
of
Russia.
The
s
oldiers
were
well
trained,
efficient,
and
w
ell
equipped.
This
military
force
was
call
ed
the
Grand
Army.
Napoleon,
confident

of
a
quick
victory,
predicted
the
conque
st
of
Russia
in
five
weeks.


拿破仑发起的战役


1812
年春，拿破仑在俄国边境屯兵
60
万。
这些士兵受过良好训练， 作战力强，装备精良。
这支军队被称为大军。
拿破仑对马到成功充满自
信，预言要在< br>5
个星期内攻下俄国。




4
Shortly
afterwards,
Napoleon's
arm
y
crossed
the
Neman
River
into
Russia.
The
quick,
decisive
victory
that
Napoleo
n
expected
never
happened.
To
his
surp
rise,
the
Russians
refused
to
stand
and
fight.
Instead,
they
retreated
eastward,
b
urning
their
crops
and
homes
as
they
w
ent.
The
Grand
Army
followed,
but
its
a
dvance
march
soon
became
bogged
dow
n
by
slow-moving
supply
lines.


不久，拿破仑的大军渡过涅曼河 进入俄国。
拿破仑期盼着的速决速胜迟迟没有发生。
令他吃
惊的是，俄国人并不奋起抵 抗。相反，他们一路
东撤，沿途焚毁庄稼和民居。大军紧追不舍，但
它的长驱直入很快由于粮草 运输缓慢而停顿下
来。



5
In
August,
the
French
and
Russian

armies
engaged
at
Smolensk,
in
a
battl
e
that
left
over
ten
thousand
dead
on
ea
ch
side.
Yet,
the
Russians
were
again
a
ble
to
retreat
farther
into
Russian
territor

y.
Napoleon
had
won
no
decisive
victory.

He
was
now
faced
with
a
crucial
decisi
on.
Should
he
continue
to
pursue
the
R
ussian
army?
Or
should
he
keep
his
ar
my
in
Smolensk
for
the
approaching
win
ter?
到了
8
月，法 俄两军在斯摩棱斯克交战，
这一战役中，双方各有上万人阵亡。可是，俄国
人仍能在自己的国土 上继续后撤。
拿破仑未能取
得决定性的胜利。此刻他面临着一个重要抉择。
是继续追击 俄国军队，
还是把军队驻扎在斯摩棱
斯克，在那儿度过将到的冬天
?


6
Napoleon
took
the
gamble
of
pres
sing
on
to
Moscow,
448
kilometers
away.

On
September
7,
1812,
the
French
and
Russian
armies
met
in
fierce
battle
at
B
orodino,
112
kilometers
west
of
Moscow.

By
nightfall,
thirty
thousand
French
and

forty-four
thousand
Russians
lay
dead
or
wounded
on
the
battlefield.


拿破仑孤注一掷，
决定向远在448
公里之外
的莫斯科进发。
1812
年
9
月
7
日，法俄两军在

莫斯科以西
112
公里外的鲍罗季诺激战。< br>夜幕降
临时，
3
万名法国士兵以及
4.4
万名俄国士兵或伤或亡，倒在了战场上。



7
Again,
the
Russian
army
retreated
to
safety.
Napoleon
had
a
clear
path
to
Moscow,
but
the
occupation
of
the
city
became
an
empty
victory.
The
Russians
fled
their
capital.
Soon
after
the
French
arrived,
a
raging
fire
destroyed
two-third
s
of
the
city.
Napoleon
offered
a
truce
t
o
Alexander
I,
but
the
Russian
czar
kne
w
he
could
bide
his
time:

shall
let
the
Russian
winter
fight
the
war
for
us.


俄国军队再 次撤往安全之处。
拿破仑顺利进
入莫斯科，
然而，
对该市的占领成为毫无意义 的
胜利。俄国人弃城而走。法国人进城不久，一场
熊熊大火烧毁了整个城市的三分之二。
拿破仑向
亚历山大一世提出停战，
但沙皇深知他可以等待
时机：
“
且让俄罗斯的严冬为我们战斗吧。
”



8
Napoleon
soon
realized
he
could
n
ot
feed,
clothe,
and
quarter
his
army
in

Moscow
during
the
winter.
In
October
18
12,
he
ordered
his
Grand
Army
to
retrea
t
from
Moscow.


拿破仑很快意识到，
他无 法在冬天向远在莫
斯科的军队供应粮草、提供御寒衣物和宿营之
地。
1812
年
10
月，他命令大军撤出莫斯科。

The
French
retreat
turned
into
a

From

and
forests,

Russians

on

A

distance
from
Moscow,
the
temperature

had
already
dropped
to

4
degrees
C

On
November
3,
the
winter's
first

came.
Exhausted
horses
fell
dead
in
their
tracks.
Cannon

E

The

法军 的撤离成为一场噩梦。
俄国人出没于田
野与森林，
采用打了就跑的战术，
向法 国人发起
攻击。
刚出莫斯科城，
气温就降到摄氏零下
4
度。

11
月

日降下初雪。困乏的马匹倒地而死。大
炮陷入雪中。
装备只得被用作燃料焚烧。
士兵们
染病冻死。
法国士兵拖着脚步行进，
一路 上留下
无数死尸。



10
As
the
Russian
army
was
gathering
i
ts
strength,
the
French
had
to
flee
Russia
to

avoid
certain
defeat.
At
the
Berezina
River,

the
Russians
nearly
trapped
the
retreating
French
by
burning
the
bridges
over
the
swol
len
river.
But
Napoleon,
by
a
stroke
of
luck,

was
able
to
build
two
new
bridges.
Thousa
nds
of
French
soldiers
escaped,
but
at
the
c
ost
of
fifty
thousand
dead.
Once
across
the
Berezina,
the
tattered
survivors

正当俄罗斯军队集聚兵 力之时，
法国人却不
得不逃离俄国，
以避免注定的失败。
在别列兹那
河，
俄国人焚烧了涨水的河道上的桥梁，
差点将
后撤的法军困于河边。
侥幸的 是，
拿破仑居然突
击造起两座桥。
成千上万法国士兵得以逃脱，
但
