The same courier who brought the dispatches to General Hood assured Scarlett of that.

这是那个给胡德将军送来快报的通讯兵告诉思嘉的。

But what was Pa doing in Jonesboro? The young courier looked ill at ease as he made answer.

可是爸博**什么呀？年轻的通讯兵回答这个问题时显得有些不安。

Finally a courier came up from Jonesboro with the reassuring news that the Yankees had been beaten back.

最后，从博罗来的一个通讯兵带来了确切的消息，说北方佬被击退了。

The Medical Corps did some, the Signal Corps.

医疗队做了一些，通讯兵也做了一些。

As she stood in the sunshine on the front porch, thanking the young man for his trouble, Scarlett felt her knees go weak.

思嘉站前院走廊上的阳光中感谢那位年轻的通讯兵帮忙时，好像要站不稳了。

Swearing, sweating men hauled the heavy guns up the precipitous slopes, for mules could not climb the hillsides. Couriers and wounded coming into Atlanta gave reassuring reports to the frightened townspeople.

骡子已爬不上去了，汗流浃背的士兵咒骂着把枪拖上陡坡，通讯兵和伤兵进入了亚特兰大，给惊慌的市民带来了安定人心的消息。

Carreen must be dying if she was so far beyond Ellen's medical skill that Gerald was hunting a doctor! As the courier went off in a small whirlwind of red dust, Scarlett tore open Gerald's letter with fingers that trembled.

觉得两腿发软，如果连爱伦的医术都已经无能力，而不得不让杰拉尔德出来找大夫的话，卡琳的病就一定到了生命垂危的地步了！当通讯兵一阵旋风刮起的尘土中离开时，思嘉用颤抖的手指把父亲的信撕开。
