5 Angel of the Battlefield

Chapter 5, Angel of the Battlefield. Jack still didn't remember who Clara Barton was. He pulled out the Civil War book and read, Clara Barton was a famous Civil War nurse. When she began nursing, she used her own money for her supplies. She drove a horse -drawn ambulance right onto the battlefield to help save wounded soldiers. For this reason, she became known as the Angel of the Battlefield.

第五章 战地天使 杰克还是想不起来克拉拉·巴顿是谁 他掏出那本南北战争相关的书读了起来： 克拉拉·巴顿是南北战争时期著名的护士 刚开始从事护理工作时，她自掏腰包购买物资 她赶着马车救护车直接冲上战场，救助受伤的士兵 正因如此，她被大家称为“战地天使”

Jack put the book away. Then he hurried to Annie. He looked at the woman sitting in the driver's seat of the wagon. She doesn't look like an angel, Jack thought. The woman was very small. She had a plain serious face and dark hair pulled back in a bun. She wore a long black skirt and a black jacket. In the back of her wagon were more wounded soldiers in torn bloody uniforms. They moaned and cried out. Nurses, both men and women, were putting the wounded men on stretchers. Clara Barton wiped her forehead. She looked hot and tired. Can we help you, Miss Barton? Annie asked.

杰克把书收起来，连忙跑到安妮身边，他望着坐在马车驾驶座上的女人 她看起来不像天使呀，杰克心想。这个女人个子很小 她的脸朴素又严肃，深色的头发在脑后挽成了一个发髻 她穿着一条黑色长裙，外搭一件黑色外套 马车后座还有更多受伤的士兵，他们的军装破破烂烂沾满血污，正呻吟哭喊着 男男女女的护士们正把受伤的士兵抬到担架上 克拉拉·巴顿擦了擦额头，看起来又热又累 “我们能帮您什么吗，巴顿小姐？”安妮问道

Who are you? said Clara Barton. Jack and Annie said Annie. We're volunteer nurses. What can we do Miss Barton? Clara Barton smiled.

“你们是谁？”克拉拉·巴顿问。杰克和安妮报上了名字，说他们是志愿护士 “巴顿小姐，我们能做些什么呢？”克拉拉·巴顿笑了

First, you can call me Clara," she said. Second, would you ride with me back toward the battlefield? There are more wounded waiting to be picked up." Sure," said Annie.

“首先呀，你们可以叫我克拉拉。”她说 第二，你们愿意和我一起赶车回战场那边吗？ 还有更多伤员等着我们去接呢。” “当然愿意。”安妮说

Jack didn't answer. After seeing all the suffering men in the wagon, he was afraid of getting closer to the battlefield. "'And you?' Clara asked Jack. Her dark, serious eyes looked right into his. Jack didn't want to admit he was afraid. "'Sure. No problem,' he said. "'Very good,' said Clara Barton. Let's go.' Jack and Annie climbed up into the driver's seat next to her. By now all the soldiers had been taken out of the wagon. "'Take care of my new family members,' Clara called to the nurses. She snapped the reins. The horse -drawn ambulance rolled off, sending up clouds of dust."

杰克没有回答。刚才看见马车上那么多受苦的伤员，他很怕 离战场更近 “那你呢？”克拉拉问杰克。她深色的严肃眼睛直直望着他，杰克不想 承认自己害怕 “当然可以，没问题。”他说 “太好了。”克拉拉·巴顿说，“我们出发吧。” 杰克和安妮爬到她旁边的驾驶座上。这会儿马车上所有的士兵 都已经被抬下去了 “照顾好我的新家人哦。”克拉拉冲护士们喊道，随后抽了一下缰绳 马车救护车驶了出去，扬起阵阵尘土。”
