以华盛顿为例。在当上总统以前,打仗是他的职业,他正是用通宵熬夜的办法战胜了敌人。英国人尽管在技术上和组织上占优,但在打仗的时候采用的是一种正统方针,即重大交战要在固定时间、开阔场地上进行。而华盛顿则是利用夜晚的时间来策划和部署。
Thus, in 1776, Washington and his troops were pinned down by the British army and navy in northern Brooklyn, New York City. The destruction of the colonial army seemed inevitable. Yet, in one night, under cover of darkness, Washington evacuated his men across the river to Manhattan, undetected and without a single casualty.
在1776年,华盛顿及其部下被英国陆军和海军围困在纽约城布鲁克林北部,殖民地军队的瓦解似乎已不可避免。然而在一天晚上,华盛顿利用夜色作为掩护,神不知鬼不觉地,不费一兵一卒就将其人马撤离到河对岸的曼哈顿。
Washington used a similar gambit that winter in his successful ambush of the Hessian encampment near Trenton, New Jersey, immortalized by the famous painting 'Washington Crossing the Delaware.' Here, too, the general and his troops abstained from sleep for a full night to surprise the enemy and turn the tide of the war.
那年冬天,华盛顿采用同样的战术,在新泽西州特伦顿(Trenton)附近成功地伏击了黑森雇佣兵的营地。这次伏击因为《华盛顿横渡特拉华河》(Washington Crossing the Delaware)这幅名画而名垂千古。在这里,华盛顿及其将士同样彻夜未眠,从而出奇制胜、扭转战局。
