其实呢，我喜欢开头一段，戏份不要太足，武士感太足…… 先说天气，然后说这些人并不在乎…… Btw, 如果是这两天悉尼的天气，不知道是不是first thing on their minds？
It is cold, in late winter, here in the foothil s of the Alps, and the open plain by the side of a lake offers no shelter from the wind. But for the two groups of French soldiers facing each other, the weather is the last thing on their minds.
他们为毛线不在乎weather呢？是因为没有下百年一遇的悉尼雨吗？ no no no^
They are, for the most part, army veterans of long standing, and they know all too well the horrors of the battlefield—know all too well that within minutes they could be dead, or screaming in agony from ghastly wounds.
再来一波喜欢的，戏剧般的场景：
As the armies face each other, indecisively, the royalist battalion commander steps forward. “If you do not withdraw,” he shouts hesitantly to Napoleon, “you will be arrested.” On both sides, hands nervously clutch loaded muskets.
hands nervously clutch loaded muskets? 为什么我竟然不nervous, 最近喜剧片看得疯疯癫癫？ no no no^
But then Napoleon orders his own men to lower their weapons.An aide protests, but he insists.
因为我信任我大拿,行吗？瞧！
He steps forward, out in front of his own troops, to within twenty feet of the royalist regiment. “Soldiers of the Fifth!” he cries out to them. “I am your emperor! Acknowledge me!” He walks a few more steps, and in a dramatic gesture, opens his coat, exposing his chest as a target. “If there is any soldier among you who wants to kill his emperor,” he continues, his voice firm, “here I am!”
瞧瞧，多男人啊……
For a moment, there is silence. 安静吧，需要静静，静静也需要你们。 都在欣赏我大拿那迷人的myth, 小小的身躯里怎会有如此大大的宇宙？
Then, somewhere in the royalist lines, a voice can be heard ordering men to open fire. But no one does. The line stands, fearful, indecisive. And then, a different cry is heard. “Vive l’empereur!” “Long Live the emperor!” A single voice at first, but immediately repeated by others. “Vive l’empereur!” In a moment, the entire royalist battalion is shouting the words, and as they do, they throw down their weapons, surround Napoleon joyously, and rush to embrace the men who have come with him from elba.
Hardened soldiers burst into tears as they clasp each other, screaming deliriously, “Vive l’empereur!”
看看， Hardened soldiers 配上软软的泪水，尖尖的screaming , 多么戏剧化啊。而面对你伤害了我大拿，我大拿只是一笑而过……
As the clamor subsides, Napoleon smiles contentedly at his small army, which has just doubled in size. He prepares to move onward, further north.
Was he a risk taker? Do I consider him a heroic figure? My answer is no
他的信心来源于对形式的把握
1）他的士官之前见了对方官得知，皇家兵可能会拒绝射击前皇帝拿破仑
2）拿破仑此时46岁，从24岁以后已经建立了他个人的全方位的威望，卓越的军事技能，治理国家政治上的创新和功绩
3）Louis XVIII 当时的无能无为已经得民愤 作者: yearshappy 时间: 29-11-2018 12:50 Napoleon: a concise biography, this's the book that both Anna and I are currently working on.
