萨姆特要塞

祈求跟北方佬和平解决吗？咱们已经在萨姆特要塞向那些流氓开火了！

Pray for a peaceable settlement with the Yankees after we 've fired on the rascals at Fort sumter ?

爸爸既然知道了她的伤心事，他怎么还能这样喋喋不休地尽谈萨姆特要塞和北方佬呢？

How could PA talk on and on about Fort Sumter and the Yankees when he knew her heart was breaking ?

好了，女儿，高兴一点，下星期我带你到查尔斯顿去看尤拉莉姨。看看他们那里怎样闹腾萨姆特要塞的事，包你不到一星期就艾希礼忘了。

Charleston next week to visit your Aunt Eulalie and , what with all the hullabaloo they are having over there about Fort Sumter , you 'll be forgetting about Ashley in a week .

爸爸总是从早到晚谈论战争，战争，所有来看他的绅士们也叫嚷着什么萨姆特要塞、州权、亚伯·林肯，简直烦得我要大喊大叫！

Pa talks war morning , noon and night , and all the gentlemen who come to see him shout about Fort Sumter and States'Rights and Abe Lincoln till I get so bored I could scream !

似乎艾希礼给媚兰写信时压根儿故意不谈战争，并且设法在他们两人周围画一个没有时间性的魔幻圈子，把自从萨姆特要塞事件以来所发生的一切都通通排除在外。

It was as though when writing melanie , Ashley tried to ignore the war altogether , and sought to draw about the two of them a magic circle of timelessness , shutting out everything that had happened since Fort Sumter was the news of the day .
