輕騎兵的衝鋒

輕騎兵的衝鋒(ChargeoftheLightbrigade),指克里米亞戰爭巴拉克拉瓦戰役中,由卡迪根勳爵(Lordcardigan)帶領英軍輕騎兵向俄軍發起的衝鋒。當時,英軍總指揮拉格倫勳爵(Lordraglan)派遣輕騎兵奪取戰線附近正在撤退的俄軍大炮,通訊人員卻錯誤傳達了他的命令,僅裝備馬刀的輕騎兵因此在易守難攻的地形上,正面沖向準備充足的俄軍炮兵。輕騎旅在猛烈的火力下,成功沖入炮兵陣地,但因為傷亡慘重,被迫撤退。在戰鬥,英軍中付出了沉重的代價,卻沒有實際得益。丁尼生勳爵為此寫下了作品輕騎兵的衝鋒(TheChargeoftheLightBrigade),在字裡行間中突出了輕騎兵的英勇,詩作亦成為這場衝鋒受後人銘記的原因。至於各界對通訊人員的批評,則存在一定爭議,因為拉格倫下達的命令本身就是模糊不清的,十分容易造成誤解,最終引致嚴重後果。

原文

丁尼生勳爵原文詩
The Charge of the Light Brigade
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian Reel'd from the sabre stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.
J. E. Tilton and Company, Boston, 1870

譯文

中文翻譯:
半里格,半里格,
往前衝殺半里格,
騎兵六百名
衝進死亡的谷地。
“向前沖,輕騎兵!”
他說,“向炮衝擊!”
騎兵六百名
衝進死亡的谷地。
“向前沖,輕騎兵!”
可有人喪氣?沒有。
儘管士兵們知道
是錯誤命令。
他們可不能抗命,
他們可無法弄清,
只能奉命去犧牲。
騎兵六百名
衝進死亡的谷地
炮打在他們右面,
炮打在他們左面,
炮打在他們前面,
排炮在轟鳴,
冒著炮火和霰彈,
他們善騎又勇敢。
騎兵六百名
衝進地獄的大門,
衝進死神的牙關。
出鞘馬刀亮晃晃,
揮舞空中閃寒光,
劈下在炮手身上;
向一支大軍衝擊,
舉世都震驚。
他們衝破了防線,
殺進炮台的硝煙;
哥薩克和俄國人
擋不住馬刀猛劈,
亂掉了隊形。
這時他們往回馳——
不滿六百名。
炮打在他們右面,
炮打在他們左面,
炮打在他們後面,
排炮在轟鳴;
在炮火和霰彈下,
戰馬和英雄倒下。
打得漂亮的他們
衝出死神的牙關;
他們中的生還者,
六百人中的生者
衝出地獄門。
時間能湮沒英名?
喔他們這次狂沖!
舉世都震驚。
致敬,向這次衝鋒!
致敬,向這六百名
豪邁輕騎兵!
