迦太基名將漢尼拔為何兵敗羅馬?
紅人自畫像
我是古國迦太基的一名將軍,一生中大部分時間都是在與羅馬人對抗的戰場上度過的。我戎馬一生,獲得無數輝煌的戰果,最后卻兵敗羅馬。我,漢尼拔,無悔這悲壯而坎坷的一生!
I was a general of ancient Carthage. I spent most of my life in battles against Rome. During my military life, I won numerous battles. However, I was finally defeated by Romans. But when I look back upon my heroic and bumpy life, I have no regret.
超級訪問
古古這次要去訪問的是一位將軍。這位將軍曾使羅馬聞風喪膽,卻在最后一場戰斗中功敗垂成。這位將軍就是迦太基名將漢尼拔。
Today Gugu is going to visit a general, who once scared the Romans to death, but there’s many a slip between the cup and the lip, and he failed in the last battle. This is the story of the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal.
(G=Gugu H=Hannibal)
G: Hi, general! I admire your military talents so much! Could you please tell some of your stories?
H: Sure! The most impressive battle for me was to seize a large supply depot at Cannae.
G: How did you do it? It was said that Roman troops at that time were very strong.
H: Haw-haw… I was such a genius. Nobody expected that my army could cross over the Alps to attack the Romans.
G: Brilliant!
H: However, all my life I had dreamt of conquering Rome, but I never did.
G: You mean the battle of Rome City? I remember you had defeated the main Roman forces, and turned it into an isolated city. Why didn't you go on to give them a last blow?
H: It was truly a fatal mistake. I have never stopped regretting it since then.
G: You were not to blame. It happens, you know. Sometimes you win, and othertimes you fail.
H: Actually it was not an accident. The Roman soldiers were united while my army couldn't get support from the rulers.
G: Nevertheless, you're still a true hero!
古古:您好,大將軍!我非常仰慕您的軍事才華,您能給我講講您的戰斗故事嗎?
漢尼拔:好呀。我最得意的一次戰斗是占領“羅馬糧庫”——坎尼城。
古古:您是怎樣攻下它的?據我所知,羅馬軍隊當時很強大啊。
漢尼拔:哈哈,我真是個天才。誰也想不到我們會越過阿爾卑斯山,出其不意地出現在羅馬人面前。
古古:好厲害啊。
漢尼拔:我一生的夢想就是征服羅馬,最后卻失敗了。
古古:您是指羅馬城一站嗎?記得您當時已打敗了羅馬的主力軍,將它變成了一座孤城,為什么不給它最后致命一擊呢?
漢尼拔:所以說這是我一生中犯下的最嚴重的錯誤,真是讓人追悔莫及。
古古:別太自責了,將軍。勝敗乃兵家常事啊。
漢尼拔:其實也有客觀的原因。當時羅馬城士兵團結,我的軍隊卻得不到統治集團的支持了。
古古:無論成敗你都是英雄嘛。
