He nodded to the men, smiled, traded pleasantries with a subaltern.
他向这些人点点头,微笑着,和个副官寒暄了几句。
Then comes the poor little subaltern, delighted at the idea of his first action, brimming over with affection, ready to fall on his comrade's neck; a laughable, adorable boy, who, like Petia Rostoff, contrives to get stupidly killed.
然后那个可怜的小副官来了, 想到他的第个动作就很高兴, 满脸慈爱,准备扑到他战友的脖子上; 个可笑的、可爱的男孩, 他和佩蒂亚·罗斯托夫样, 想方设法愚蠢地被杀。
