写各种人物小传,发现这一桥段最常见,上头一高兴果然什么都有了,比如:
Merveldt received the honor of carrying the message to the Emperor Francis in Vienna. There, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and awarded the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Maria Theresa.
当然 有时即使不是捷报也可以,比如富瓦的:
Early in 1811, he was selected by Marshal André Masséna to convey to the emperor the critical state of the French army before the Lines of Torres Vedras. This commission, though one of great peril — the country being in a complete state of insurrection — he successfully accomplished, for which service he was made general of division.
总之 这样的例子屡见不鲜。
