Staring at this group of energetic, eager seventeen year olds, Hillman was filled with countless mixed feelings. This was because Hillman knew that all of these children were eager to join the army, but after ten years of military service,how many of them would comeback alive?

　　希爾曼看著這群十七八歲，朝氣勃勃的少年們，心中感慨萬千。因為他知道，此刻這些孩子們對軍旅的生涯充滿渴望，可是十年軍旅生活過后，這些孩子們又有多少能夠回來？

“I hope at least half of these hundred and twenty six will be able to return alive,” Hillman prayed silently.

　　“這一百二十六名，希望能有一半活下來吧?！毕柭闹衅谂?。

Hillman stared at the children, and said in a clear voice, “Brats, listen up!?You are all men of Wushan town. The men of Wushan town must straighten their chests and welcome any challenges, and accept no fear. Am I understood?”

　　希爾曼看著這一群孩子，朗聲說道：“你們這些小子都給我聽清楚了，你們是烏山鎮(zhèn)的男人，烏山鎮(zhèn)的男人，就應該挺起胸膛，迎接任何挑戰(zhàn)，不容畏懼，聽到?jīng)]有？”

All of those seventeen year old youths straightened their chest, their bodies ramrod straight. Their eyes filled with a hot ardor for military life, they all?responded in loudunison “Understood!”

　　那群十七歲的少年們一個個都挺起胸膛，身體站的筆直，那熾熱目光中有著對未來軍隊生活的期待，都同時大聲回到道：“聽到了！”

*ramrod?straight?腰桿筆直的；挺立的

“Good!” Hillman stood ramrod straight as well. His cold gaze was filled with a military aura.

　　“很好?！毕柭钦镜墓P直的身體，冷厲的目光都有著軍人特有的風范。

“Tomorrow, all of you will depart. Tonight, prepare well. I know how strong all of you are. All of you will be able to easily enter the army! I, Hillman, will?wait here for all of you to make your glorious return to Wushan town!”?Hillman said in a bright voice.

　　“明天你們就出發(fā)了，今晚好好準備。我很清楚你們的實力，你們都可以輕易進入軍隊！我，希爾曼，在烏山鎮(zhèn)靜候你們以后風風光光的回烏山鎮(zhèn)！”希爾曼朗聲說道。

The eyes of those youths shone bright.

　　那一百二十六名少年眼睛不由放光。

Returning home with honor. This was the dream of every youth.

　　榮回故里，這是每一個少年心中的夢想。

“Now, I order all of you, go home immediately and begin your preparations.?Disperse!” Hillman said in a cold, fierce voice.

　　“現(xiàn)在，我命令你們，立即回去好好準備，解散！”希爾曼冷厲說道。

“Yes sir!”

　　“是?！?/p>

A hundred and twenty six youths respectfully saluted, and then departed. They were followed by the worshipful gazes of the nearly two hundred?youths that remained. Tomorrow, they would begin a brand new journey.

　　一百二十六名少年恭敬應道，隨后這一百二十六名少年，在旁邊近兩百名的還沒有成年的孩子期待崇拜的目光中一個個離開了。而明天，他們將踏上一個嶄新的旅程。

“I have two more years. When I become of age, I also want to join the army.”

　　“我還有兩年，也成年了，到時候也能加入軍隊了。”

“I really want to live the exciting, heart-throbbing life of a soldier. If I had to live here for my entire life, in Wushan town, even if I lived forever, it would? be pointless.”

　　“真想過軍隊那種讓人熱血沸騰的生活，如果一輩子呆在烏山鎮(zhèn)，就是活地再久，也沒意思?！?/p>
