never ceased for twenty-four hours

24小时毫不停息
and the dead were piled in heaps upon heaps

死者堆积如山
and the wounded men were intermixed with the dead,

伤者混杂在死者中
held fast by their dead companions who fell upon them,

紧紧地被压在倒下的战友下面
continually adding to the ghastly pile of men.

不断加入那可怖的人堆中
The breastworks were on the edge of a heavy oak woods and large trees,

胸墙建在一片茂密高大的栎树林边缘
eighteen inches or more in diameter,

壁垒直径18英寸或更宽
were worn and cut completely off by the storm of bullets

在枪林弹雨下已千疮百孔
and fell upon the dead and wounded Rebels.

然后完全倒塌压在死伤的叛军身上
Those that lay upon our side

夜晚在树倒下的时候
in the night when the trees fell said that

那些伏卧在我们这边的士兵说
their howlings were awful when these trees came down upon them.

当树倒在叛军身上时他们的嚎叫非常可怕
