an old soldier的意思|示意

Almost in the corner there was, sitting on a military overcoat, an old soldier with a stern yellow face, thin as a skeleton's, and an unshaved grey beard. He was looking persistently at Rostov.

差不多紧靠屋角，有个老兵坐在军大衣上面，露出一副骷髅般瘦黄的、严肃的面孔、没有剃过的苍白的髯须，他目不转睛地望着罗斯托夫。

He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home.

他像生了根似地坐在座位上，几个年轻人开始诧异起来，试图想像出他的身世：他或许是位海船船长，或是一个抛下妻子离家出走的人，再不就是一个回家的老兵。

He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home.

他引起这班年轻人的猜想：也许他是个船长，也许是从家出走的，或者是一个归家的老兵。

At last an old soldier came by, and the young officer stopped him and said, "Have you got change for ten pence?"

终于有名老兵路过，年轻的军官拦住了他问道：“你有十美分的硬币吗？”

And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

像那首歌中的老兵一样，我作为一名在上帝的光辉下尽心尽职的老兵，现在结束我的军事生涯，悄然隐去。

And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

我也将结束我的军旅生涯，就像军营里的老兵，带着上帝赋予我而我也努力去完成的使命，逐渐退出历史舞台。
