1.Grouchy: 'Marshal Grouchy, with 34,000 menand 108 cannon, solved the apparently undiscoverable secret of being, on the morning of the 18th June 1815, neither on the battlefield of Mont St Jean nor on that at Wave... His conduct was as unforeseeable as if his army, on themarch, had undergone an earthquake and been swallowed up.'
格鲁西将军和他的三万四千人马以及一百零八门大炮在1815年6月18日早上既没有出现在圣让山的战场，也不在Wavre，这个显然不可解之谜得到了解释（似是反语？）。他行事诡异，仿佛他的军队走着走着便遭遇了一场大地震被吞噬了。
2.Kellermann
FYI:
In 1789 Kellermann enthusiastically embraced the cause of the French Revolution, and in 1791 became general of the army in Alsace. In April 1792 he was made a lieutenant-general, and in August of the same year there came to him the opportunity of his lifetime. He rose to the occasion, and his victory over the Prussians at the Battle of Valmy, in Goethe's words, "opened a new era in the history of the world". Napoleon later commented that: "I think I'm the boldest general that ever lived, but I daren't take post on that ridge with windmill at Valmy (where Kellermann took position) in 1793."
In 1802, he was ennobled by Napoleon, and he took as his title the Duke of Valmy.
3.Lannes: 'In the case of Lannes, his courage in the first place carried him further than his spirit; but each day his spirit rose to the occasion, and restored the balance. He had truly become a superiorbeing by the time he perished; I found him a pygmy, but I lost a giant."
至于拉纳，他的勇气远胜于他心灵的高度，可是他的心灵总是能每日应时而起，使得二者之间恢复平衡。将死之际他的确超凡入圣了。我以为他微不足道，但失去他却让我如失巨擘。
