Every day is a newday. It is better to be lucky.

过节回来后，第一眼就看中了《老人与海》，仔细阅读后，觉得很出彩。

摘录了以下句子分享给大家：

He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four daysnow without taking a fish

他一个老人，划着小船独自在墨西哥湾中捕鱼；八十四天了还没有捕到过一条鱼。

They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert

它们就如同一个了无生机的沙漠所经历过的侵蚀那样久远。

Everything about him was old except his eyes and theywere the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated

老人是这么的苍老，但唯有双眼依旧有着像海水一样的颜色，既充满了欢愉，也好像是从来没有被打败过似的。

The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy lovedhim

老人曾经教导小男孩如何捕鱼，而男孩也很敬爱这位老人。

"I remember," the old man said "I knowyou did not leave me because you doubted"

「我记得，」老人说：「而且我也知道，你并不是因为对我失去信心而离弃我。」

Between fishermen  打渔的都是一家人嘛。

If I cannot fish with you, I would like to serve in someway"

即使我不能跟你一起捕鱼，至少我可以在旁边帮帮忙。

If you were my boy I'd take you out and gamble," hesaid

「如果你是我的孩子，我一定带着你出去，去赌一赌，看我们是不是能够成功，」他说

But you are your father's and your mother's and you arein a lucky boat"

「但是，你是你父亲和母亲的孩子，而你现在又在一条幸运的船上。」

His hope and his confidence had never gone But now they werefreshening as when the breeze rises

他的希望和信心从未消失过，而现在，一股崭新的希望和信心又如微风冉冉升起了。

"Far out to come in when the wind shifts I want tobe out before it is light"

「能去多远的地方就去，只要风转向的时候能回得来就好。我想在天破晓之前就出发。」

"Then if you hook something truly big we can come toyour aid"

「这样如果你钓到一条什么大鱼的话我们也好帮你的忙。」

The old man leaned the mast with its wrapped sail againstthe wall and the boy put the box and the other gear beside it

老人将卷着帆的桅杆靠着墙立着，男孩把箱子和其它渔具就放在旁边。

The boy did not know whether yesterday's paper was afiction too But the old man brought it out from under the bed

这小男孩并不知道这份昨天的报纸是不是也是虚构的，但老人果然从床底下拿出一份报纸。

I'll keep yours and mine together on ice and we can sharethem in the morning

我会把你的和我的那一份都冰起来，明天早上我们就可以分着用了

"I think perhaps I can too But I try not to borrowFirst you borrow Then you beg"

「我想我或许也可以借得到，但我尽量不去借。起先你借钱，再来就是乞讨了。」

When the boy came back the old man was asleep in thechair and the sun was down

男孩回来的时候，老人坐在椅子上睡着了，而太阳也已经下山。

The old man's head was very old though and with his eyes closed therewas no life in his face

不过，老人的头部却显得相当衰老，只要他把眼睛闭上，脸上便看不出任何生命的迹象了。

The newspaper lay across his knees and the weight of hisarm held it there in the evening breeze He was barefooted

报纸摊在他的膝盖上，二只手臂的重量使它不被黄昏的微风吹走。老人的双脚赤裸着。

"There was nothing ever like them He hits the longestball I have ever seen"

「没有任何人能击出像他那样的球，他击出的球是我看过最远的。

"I think they are equal "And the bestfisherman is you" " No I know others better"

「我相信他们应该是伯仲之间。」「而最棒的渔夫，就是你了。」「不，我知道别人比我更了不起。」

"There is no such fish if you are still strong as you say," "I may not be as strong as I think," the old man said"But I know many tricks and I have resolution" "You ought to goto bed now so that you will be fresh in the morning

「只要你像你所说的，依然那么健壮的话，就不会有这样一条鱼的。」「我也许没像我自己所想象的那么强壮吧。」老人说：老人说：「不过我倒知道很多诀窍，而且我有决心和毅力。」「你现在该去睡觉了，明天早上精神才会好。

All I know is that young boys sleep late and hard"

我只知道年轻的孩子早上老是起不来，而且睡得沈。

fish baits  鱼饵

For a long time now eating had bored him and he nevercarried a lunch He had a bottle of water in the bow of the skiff and that wasall he needed for the day

长久以来，吃对他来说，早已是件乏味的事，他从来不带午餐的，他只需在船头放一瓶水，就足以过一整天了。

He always thought of the sea as la mar which is whatpeople call her in Spanish when they love her

他总是把海洋称为「海娘子」，这是热爱海洋的西班人称呼她的方式。

But the old man always thought of her as feminine and assomething that gave or withheld great favors, and if she did wild or wickedthings it was because she could not help them The moon affects her as it doesa woman, he thought

可是，老人总认为海洋是女性，有时带来恩惠，有时带来恶运，而当海洋变得蛮横狂暴或是邪恶时，那是因为她没有办法控制。他认为，月亮对于海洋的影响，正如月亮对于妇人的影响一样。

But who knows Maybe today Every day is a newday It is better to be lucky Then when luck comes you are ready

可是，谁知道呢？也许就是今天了，每一天都是一个新的开始。幸运当然是最好，不过我还是宁愿准确，这样，当机运来临时，你已经准备好了。

The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and thecoast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it

陆地上的云像山峦一样地升起了，海岸变成了一条长长的绿线，后面衬着灰蓝色的小山丘。

Most fishermen hated the taste but it was no worse thangetting up at the hours that they rose and it was very good against all coldsand grippes and it was good for the eyes

但是大多数的渔夫都讨厌那个味道，不过再怎么说，这味道都不会比早起更难过。鲨鱼肝油可以有效御寒、抵抗感冒，对眼睛也很有益处。

It was considered a virtue not to talk unnecessarily atsea and the old man had always considered it so and respected it

在海上不说废话被认为是一种美德，而老人也一直是这样认为的，并且奉行这条美德。

But now he said his thoughts aloud many times since therewas no one that they could annoy

但是现在老人都时常把脑子里所想的事情很大声地说出来，反正，他再也不可能干扰到任何人了。

There might be a big one around that school, he thoughtI picked up only a straggler from the albacore that were feeding

他想，在那一群鱼中可能有一条大的。我只是从那一群捕食的青花鱼中，抓到一条落单的而已。

This far out, he must be huge in this month, he thought

老人想，在离岸这么远的地方，又在这个月份，这条鱼一定是肥极了。

Hard and cold and lovely 坚实、冰凉、又鲜美。

Thank God he is travelling and not going down

感谢上帝保佑，它是往前游，而不是往下沉。

I wish I could see him I wish I could see him only onceto know what I have against me

真希望能看看它，只要一眼就行，好让我晓得到底是什么在与我作对。

The fish never changed his course nor his direction allthat night as far as the man could tell from watching the stars

一整夜鱼都没改变它的航道或航向。老人从观察星象就可以知道了。

No one should be alone in their old age, he thought Butit is unavoidable

他想，任何人上了年纪之后，都不应该独处。可是，那是无法避免的。

"They are good," he said "They play and makejokes and love one another They are our brothers like the flying fish"

「它们真是很好的一对，」他说。「一起玩、一起嬉闹，又彼此相爱。它们和飞鱼一样，是我们跑船人的兄弟。」

My choice was to go there to find him beyond all people Beyondall people in the world

而我的选择是，抛开所有的人，它到哪儿，我就到哪儿去找寻它。抛开全世界所有的人。

Each jerk widens the cut the hook makes and then when hedoes jump he might throw it

每猛拉一次，都会使钩子在鱼身上钩破的伤口裂得更大，那么当它真跳起来时，可能就会脱钩。

Now I will pay attention to my work and then I must eatthe tuna so that I will not have a failure of strength

从现在开始，我要全神贯注在我的工作上，而且我必须吃 鲔 鱼，来保持体力。

读音: [wěi]

部首:鱼

释义:1〔～鱼〕体呈纺锤形，背部蓝黑色，腹部灰白色，生活在热带海洋，吃小鱼等动物。2古书上指鲟鱼。

"Be patient, hand," he said "  「手啊！你要有耐性，」他说。

If I have to have it, I will open it, cost whatever itcosts But I do not want to open it now by force

只要我执意要，不管付出什么代价，我一定会让它打开的。

But now they were in hurricane months and, when there areno hurricanes, the weather of hurricane months is the best of all the year

而他同意，在天气极不稳定的某几个月中这样的想法是对的，但是现在正是飓风季节，只要没有飓风来，这个月份是全年天气最好的时候。

It is a treachery of one's own body

这简直就是跟自己的身体作对。

Each time was a new time and he never thought about thepast when he was doing it I wish he'd sleep and I could sleep and dream about thelions, he thought Why are the lions the main thing that is left

每一次都是一个新的时机，每次到了这个时机，他绝不回想从前。他心想，真希望它睡着了，好让我也可以睡一会儿，再梦见狮子。为什么狮子变成了脑海中最重要的东西呢？

He felt very tired now and he knew the night would comesoon and he tired to think of other things

他感觉非常疲倦，他也晓得黑夜，将很快的来临，他尽量让自己想一想别的事情

Once I could see quite well in the dark Not in theabsolute dark But almost as a cat sees

从前我在黑暗中也可以看得很清楚的，当然并不是在完全漆黑的状况下，但是几乎和一只猫的视线差不多了。

Man is not much beside the great birds and beasts

人是不能和伟大的鸟兽相比的。

Still I would rather be that beast down there in thedarkness of the sea

不过，我还是宁愿作那头潜在海洋的黑暗之心的野兽。

But the old man had raised his hand up to dead even againHe was sure then that the had the negro, who was a fine man and a greatathlete, beaten

那时他就很确定自己会打垮那个黑人，即使他是一个好人，也是很了不起的运动员。

"With so muchflying fish there should be dolphin," he said

这地方有这么多的飞鱼，那一定有海豚了

I had better keep the fish quiet now and not disturb himtoo much at sunset The setting of the sun is a difficult time for all fish

在这日落下之际，我最好不要惊动这条鱼，让它保持平静，因为日落时分对于所有的鱼都是最难渡过的时刻。

Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, hethought The moon runs away But imagine if a man each day should have to tryto kill the sun We were born lucky, he thought

想想看，如果人每天都必需去捕杀月亮，那会是什么情形呢，他想。月亮大概会逃之夭夭的，再想一想，万一人类得日以继夜地捕杀太阳，又会是怎么样？他想，我们真是幸运。

But it is good that we do not have to try to kill the sunor the moon or the stars It is enough to live on the sea and kill our truebrothers

但是我们不需要尝试着去捕杀太阳或月亮或星星，倒是件好事。以海为生，还得捕杀自己的好兄弟们，已经是够受的了。

It has its perils and its merits 。这有缺点，也有优点。

I am as clear as the stars that are my brothers Still Imust sleep They sleep and the moon and the sun sleep and even the ocean sleepssometimes on certain days when there is no current and a flat calm

它们都是我的兄弟，不过我还是得睡，月亮、太阳它们都睡了，甚至当没有潮流、海面平坦稳定的时候，就连海洋也会睡它个几天呢。

If it relaxes in sleep my left hand will wake me as theline goes out It is hard on the right hand But he is used to punishment Evenif I sleep twenty minutes or a half an hour it is good

他用右手紧紧地握住鱼线，大腿抵着右手，全身的重量都落在船头的木板上，于是他想。如果右手在我睡着时放松了，当鱼线被拖走的时候，左手会马上把我给叫醒的。我的右手的工作真是吃重。但它已习惯做这些苦差事了。即使睡个二十分钟或半小时都好。

Just then the fish jumped making a great bursting of theocean and then a heavy fall

这时那条大鱼猛然冲破水面跳起，然后又重重地沈入水中。

Maybe he suddenly felt fear But he was such a calm,strong fish and he seemed so fearless and so confident It is strange

也可能是突然感到害怕吧。但是它是这么镇定而坚强的一条鱼，看起来毫无恐惧又充满信心。这真是奇怪。

It has more nourishment than almost any fish, he thought

飞鱼几乎比任何一种鱼都更富营养，他想。

Then the line would not come in any more and he held ituntil he saw the drops jumping from it in the sun Then it started out

接下来绳子没办法再收进来了，他仍紧握着它，直到看见绳子上在阳光下迸出水珠来，才松开一点。

"Now that I have him coming so beautifully, God helpme endure I'll say a hundred Our Fathers and a hundred Hail Marys But Icannot say them now"

既然我已经够这么漂亮地把它弄到手了，上帝请帮助我再撑下去，我会念一百遍『天主经』、一百次『圣母经』，只是我现在没办法念。」

"A man is never lost at sea and it is a longisland" It was on the third turn that he saw the fish first He saw himfirst as a dark shadow that took so long to pass under the boat that he couldnot believe its length "No," he said "He can't be thatbig"

「真正的男人在海上是从来都不会迷失的，何况，那可是个狭长的岛。」当鱼转了第三圈时，他头一次看到了这条鱼。起先他看见这条鱼的黑影游过船底，花了很长的时间才完过通过，他几乎不能相信它有这么的长。「不，」他说。「它不可能那么大。」

So he hooked a patch of yellow Gulf weed with the gaff asthey passed and shook it so that the small shrimps that were in it fell onto the planking of the skiffThere were more than a dozen of them and they jumped and kicked like sandfleas The old man pinched their heads off with his thumb and forefinger andate them chewing up the shells and the tails

于是当船经过一堆墨西哥湾**海草时，他用鱼叉钩住海草并使力摇晃，把里面的小虾都震落在船板上。超过十多只的小虾像沙蚤似的在上面乱跳乱跳。老人用拇指和食指捏掉它们的头，然后连壳带尾地放在嘴里一起咀嚼。

They were very tiny but he knew they were nourishing andthey tasted good

虽然这虾很小，但他知道它们营养很丰富，而且尝起来味道鲜美。

He was a very big Mako shark built to swim as fast as thefastest fish in the sea and everything about him was beautiful except his jawsHis back was as blue as a swordfish's and his belly was silver and his hide wassmooth and handsome

这是一条十分巨大的 鳗口鲨 ，它的体型天生就是被造来游得很快的，是 大海中最矫捷的鱼 。它全身各处除了嘴巴以外都美极了，它的背脊就像剑鱼的背脊一般蓝，腹部则呈银色，它的皮滑嫩洁净。

This was a fish built to feed on all the fishes in thesea, that were so fast and strong and well armed that they had no other enemy

这种鱼生来就是要称霸海洋，捕食所有的鱼类，它们的速度、健壮的体型和全身武装齐备，使得它们所向无敌。

It was too good to last, he thought I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish and was alone in bed on the newspapers "But man is not made for defeat," he said " A man can be destroyed but not defeated " I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent But I was more intelligent than he was Perhaps not, he thought Perhaps I was only better armed

"I am still an old man But I am not unarmed" 虽然我是个老人，但我并不是手无寸铁。

He had seen the second fin now coming up behind the firstand had identified them as shovel-nosed sharks by the brown, triangular fin andthe sweeping movements of the tail

此刻在第一条鲨鱼鳍的后面，他看到了第二条鳍，根据那三角形的棕色背鳍和尾巴摇摆的动作，他可以断定这两条鲨鱼是铲形鼻头的虎鲨。

勇敢的面对当下，保持一种永不服输的斗士精神和积极向上的乐观人生态度。

（Personal opinion, only for reference）

The Gulf War after World War II most belligerent, one-time to send troops to the largest investment in most weapons the most advanced and largest air strikes, fighting and an unprecedented intensity and the development of extraordinarily rapid loss of another great disparity in casualties on both sides of a modern high-tech Local war While fighting lasted only 43 days, but it provides a number of local wars of modern fresh experiences and lessons Especially since a large number of high-tech weapons systems for operational use and display the "military technical revolution" is more of concern to countries in the world of military theorists, it has triggered people with new ways of thinking to look at a modern local war theories, laws and operational guidance method Gulf War and the future high-tech war in a peep-hole

First, the reasons for the outbreak of war and background

The outbreak of any war has its specific causes and background The main reason leading to the outbreak of the Gulf War and the background are:

(A) Iraq invasion and occupation of Kuwait

At 1 o'clock on August 2, 1990 (Kuwait time), the Air Force, Navy, amphibious forces and special operations forces in close support and cooperation of the Iraqi Republican Guard in three divisions across the Kuwaiti border to Kuwait, launched a sudden attack on From a mechanized infantry division and an armored division compiled the main attack force along the Safwan - Abdali - Kuwait City, the implementation of the axis of attack, more than 350 tanks under the guidance of the first captured Jiahe December south Yamaguchi, and then folded towards the attack on Kuwait City Matched by an armored division assists woven force, main attack troops attacked south west, in Jiahe December Yamaguchi joined forces with the main attack, the continued south, in the main thoroughfare leading to the Saudi border to establish blocking positions 5:30, main attack forces and special operations forces in Kuwait City to join After about 14 hours of urban combat, 7 pm, the Iraqi army completely occupied the capital of Kuwait Followed by the continued development of attack, steady flow of follow-on force to enter Kuwait August 3 at noon throughout the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait From August 6 to enter the Iraqi army in Kuwait to reach about 20 million people, tanks and more than 2,000 vehicles August 8, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein declared that the annexation of Kuwait, to classify it as Iraq's "19th province" and said it "will always be an integral part of Iraq"

Kuwait is too weak, coupled with the surprise attack on the Iraqi military was not prepared, only a weak resistance KLA some 20,000 people, only more than 5,000 people evacuated to Saudi Arabia, the remaining troops collapsibility or surrender Kuwaiti Emir Jaber Al-Sabah and some of the Saudi royal family to flee by helicopter

Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait's main purpose: To seize Kuwait, write off the huge debt owed to Kuwait, and use the "treasury" to solve due to stretching eight-year Iran-Iraq war to the national economy of the serious crisis; seizing of Kuwait, can be 50 kilometers of its coastline from the extended to 213 kilometers, thereby greatly improving its naval activities in the area and oil exports and other foreign trade sea routes; through the annexation of Kuwait, to resolve their longstanding boundary dispute and the resulting problems the border region's oil exploitation dispute; seizing Kuwait, could be "warning to others," shock and awe to play the Gulf countries and other Middle Eastern countries the role of leadership in the Arab world for its contention, clear the way to dominate the Middle East

Iraqi armed invasion and occupation of Kuwait, triggering the Gulf crisis as a direct trigger the Gulf War

(B) The United States and other countries in the Gulf region, the interests of

The reason why the Gulf region affects the United States and many other countries of the nerves, mainly in the region has an extremely rich in oil and natural gas of resources As of January 1990, the Gulf region has proven oil reserves of 6,517 billion barrels, the world's total proven oil reserves (10,015 billion barrels) and 65%, natural gas, 24 trillion cubic meters of natural gas resources of the world's combined 137% Nissan is about 1,450 million barrels of oil, accounting for the world's daily oil production (6,360 million barrels) of 23%; daily exports of about 1,200 million barrels of oil, accounting for the world's daily oil exports (2,800 million barrels) of 43% Five oil-producing countries in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran and the UAE) are in the Gulf region The world's 20 mega-fields, there are 11 in the Gulf region

The Gulf region's oil production mainly for export The United States, Western Europe, Japan imported oil, a substantial portion comes from the Gulf region According to the US Energy Information statistics, the United States on the first quarter of 1990, net oil imports amounted to 7661 million barrels, of which 2064 million barrels from the Gulf region, accounting for 269%; Western Europe 8235 million barrels per day of imported oil, of which imports of 4276 million from the Gulf region, barrels, accounting for 519%; Japan's 548 million barrels of imported oil, of which imports from 354 million barrels in the Gulf region, accounting for 646%

Oil is the world's economic development, "blood", but also the driving force of modern armies If the Iraqi annexation of Kuwait and then occupation of Saudi Arabia, you can control more than half of the world's oil resources, which is like stuck in the throat of the major Western industrial countries Use the oil weapon in the hands of Saddam Hussein, you can manipulate the economic development of Western industrial countries, and can thus make indiscreet remarks on them This is the United States and other major industrial countries is absolutely intolerable

In addition, Kuwait is the world's few rich countries, its foreign assets of more than 1,000 billion US dollars, another important industry in the West still hold up to several billions of dollars of the shares If these capital and goods have been pulled out of Iraq, but also will result in huge losses in Western economies

(C) the US-Soviet detente, regional conflicts in the shadow of the US-Soviet confrontation disappeared

After the war more than 40 years time, due to social systems and ideological confrontation, as well as the needs of their supremacy in almost all regions of conflicts, people can see the shadow of the US-Soviet rivalry and antagonism Gorbachev came to power to implement reforms and new thinking, and actively move closer to the West in the political, military and diplomatic confrontation with the United States to abandon the position Iraq's move, imperceptibly to further promote contacts between the Soviet Union the United States wishes While Iraq is the Soviet Union in the Middle East for years, one of the few close allies, but in order to avoid the United States and other Western countries in opposing Iran's stance on the Soviet Union would rather sacrifice in Iraq this past allies In Iraq, the attitude of the Soviet Union and the United States on the United States President George W Bush was "very satisfied", saying it was "the US-Soviet conflict in the region for the first time the post-war alliance" The Soviet Union's basic position on the Gulf crisis on the line, so that smooth the UN Security Council sanctions against Iraq through a series of resolutions Although the Soviet Union to send troops did not directly participate in combat in Iraq, but it was a multinational force the United States sent troops to the Gulf of supportive attitude, so the US can take a variety of military action with impunity

(D) The international community strongly opposed to aggression

Of international relations has always been a kind of stake On the first day of Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, US President George W Bush issued a statement condemning Iraq's actions as "naked aggression" against the US national interest "constitute a real threat," and announced a freeze on Iraq and Kuwait in the United States all the assets At the same time made a strong military response, two aircraft carrier battle groups in Iraq, less than 1 hour after the invasion that the Division was ordered to sail the Gulf

The Soviet Union 40 years after the war a changed regional conflicts in the world hold the position with the United States opposing the norm August 3 Soviet Union reached a consensus and issued a "Joint Statement", demanded that Iraq "unconditionally withdraw from Kuwait", "the full restoration of Kuwait's sovereignty and territorial integrity of the legal regime" This is the US policy objectives in Iraq is fully consistent On the same day, the Soviet government stopped the supply of arms to Iraq with military assistance

Rest of the world the vast majority of countries or international organizations to the invasion of Iraq has made a rapid response, the general strongly resisted and condemned Iraq's aggression

The UN Security Council and Member States on the Gulf crisis of unprecedented very rapidly and almost exactly the same response August 2, the UN Security Council by 14 votes in favor, 0 votes against and 1 abstention, adopted a condemnation of the Iraqi violation of the Charter to require the withdrawal of the resolution No 660 From August 2 to November 29, the UN Security Council has passed 12 resolutions of condemnation and sanctions against Iraq These resolutions, so that Iraq's political, economic, military and diplomatic so in an extremely isolated position Resolution No 678 which provides that Iraq must withdraw deadline for January 15, 1991, the deadline to withdraw its troops in Iraq, if not, the resolution authorizes the United Nations Member States could use "all necessary means" to implement the United Nations adopted by the resolutions, which for the US-led 38-nation coalition into the Gulf, using force to resolve the crisis provided a legal basis

In the "final period" before the arrival of the international community to defuse the crisis made a great effort Leaders of many countries to mediate, to design a variety of mediation programs, the United Nations Secretary-General has arrived in Baghdad to do the pro-Iraq in the hope that Iraq withdraw its troops from the Division However, all these efforts have failed to enable Iraq to change its position War is inevitable

（二）由or/nor/eitheror连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题

（三）主语 + as much as,etc的主谓一致问题

（一）由and/bothand连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题

（一）以表示确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题

（二）以表示非确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题

（一）以表示确定数量的名词词组作主语

当主语为表示确定数量的名词词组时,如果数量概念被看做一个整体,动词用单数,如果被看做组成该数量的个体,动词用复数

如果主语由 "a portion of, a series of, a pile of, a panel of +名词"或由“a kind/sort/type of, this kind/sort/type of+名词” 构成,谓语动词通常用单数

例如：

如果主语是all of, some of,none of, half of, most of,lots of,loads of ,plenty of,等表示非确定数量的名词词组,谓语动词的单、复数形式根据 of词组中名词类别而定

例如：

歌手:Harpers Bizarre

专辑:The Secret Life Of Harpers Bizarre

Battle Of New Orleans

Artist : Johnny Horton

In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip

Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp\'

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

And we fought the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin\'

There wasn\'t nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin\'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we seed the British come

And there must\'ve been a hundred of \'em beatin\' on the drum

They stepped so high and made their bugles sing

We stood beside our cotton bails and didn\'t say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin\'

There wasn\'t nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin\'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Old Hickory said we could take \'em by surprise

If we didn\'t fire our muskets till we looked \'em in the eyes

We held our fire till we seed their faces well

Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave \'em hell

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin\'

There wasn\'t nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin\'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn\'t go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn\'t catch \'em

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Well we fired our cannon till the barrel melted down

Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind

And when we touched the powder off the \'gator lost his mind

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin\'

There wasn\'t nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin\'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn\'t go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn\'t catch \'em

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
