Okay.--These are real ones from Verdun.

好了 这些都尔登战役留下来的。

It was very dark at the Battle of Verdun.

尔登战役那些天 天很阴。

The Battle of Verdun between February 1916 and November was the longest battle in history.

But you can't execute an old man who was the hero of Verdun, can you?

们不能处决这个老人他曾尔登的英雄 不吗？

Like here in Verdun where a half million French soldiers were killed to come to this 20 years later.

一如50万法国官兵丧生所在的尔登，20年后成了这样。

Pershing's First Army was to be deployed in line from the Argonne Forest in the west to the heights of Verdun in the east.

潘兴的第一集团军将从西边的阿贡森林一直部署到东边的尔登高地。

Despite a sustained German offensive at Verdun throughout most of 1916 and an Anglo-French offensive at the Somme in the second half of the year, the front remained largely unchanged.

尽管德军在 1916 年的部分时间里对尔登进行了持续的攻势， 而英法在下半年对索姆河发起了攻势，但战线基本没有变化。

The breakdown of the state was signalized in the Treaty of Verdun (843) when the three sons of Louis I, the Pious, divided the territories, the eastern portion going to Louis the German.

The closest the Germans ever got to the city of  Verdun was a ridge from which they could see the rooftops of the houses and the old church spire of  the Verdun Cathedral. They never got any closer.

德国人离尔登市最近的地方一座山脊，从那里他们可以看到房屋的屋顶和尔登教堂的古老教堂尖顶。他们再也没有靠近过。

They had lost sight of the  strategic importance of Verdun and were now fighting for honor. Neither side  could step away without dishonoring themselves and their country, and so the battle descended  into what survivors called " Hell on Earth."

他们忽视了尔登的战略重要性，现在正在为荣誉而战。 任何一方都不能在不给自己和国家带来耻辱的情况下退出，因此这场战斗陷入了幸存者所说的“人间地狱” 。
