"We need the frenetic patriotic energy.

他说 "我们需要狂热的爱国情怀
That's all we need.

这是我们所需要的一切
We need to attack and keep on attacking."

我们需要进攻不停地进攻"
It doesn't work out that way.

然而事实并非如此
The reason that you have all of these millions of people killed,

原因在于这场进攻战变成了死死的防守战
in which breaking through is almost literally impossible.

要想冲出重围基本不可能
Thus, backdrop to what you have seen in Paths of Glory.

这就是你看到的《光荣之路》的时代背景
The weapons of the war including the shelling,

这场战争中使用的各种武器包括炮弹
most people are killed by shells in World War I

在一战中大部分人因炮弹而丧命
than dying in any other way.

而非死于其他武器
