The sound of battle made the stained-glass windows of Shanghai’s Holy Trinity Cathedral shiver on November 11 as Rev Dean Trivett ordered two minutes of silence in commemoration of those who had died in the Great Warqvod_av， which had ended exactly 19 years earlier.

11月11日，当上海圣三一大教堂的彩色玻璃窗在战役的声响中微微震荡时，牧师迪恩·特里维特下令全场致哀两分钟，以记念19年前戒指的那场大战中糟跶的东谈主们。

The members of the unusually large congregation dutifully lowered their heads， kept perfectly quiet and pretended not to notice the constant rattle of machine guns and the intermittent explosions outside. It was a surreal scene， and everyone could appreciate Trivett’s sermon about the futility of war.

那天的会众极度强大，他们虔敬地低下头，保握填塞的满足，假装莫得明慧到外面机枪的密集扫射声和时而传来的爆炸声。这是一幕超实际的场景，而特里维特对于干戈罅隙性的布谈让每个东谈主深有叹惜。

“If the world can find no other way of settling their disputes than the way of war，” he told the solemn assembly， “then the world deserves to perish.”

“要是寰宇无法找到比干戈更好的花样来看管争端，”他对这尊容的会众说谈，“那么这个寰宇就该消一火。”

The fighting that turned the two minutes of silence into two minutes of infernal noise was between the nearly victorious Japanese and the small garrison of Chinese left behind to cover the escape west of the bulk of the army.

让两分钟的致哀形成两分钟地狱般喧嚣的战役qvod_av，发生在几近到手的日军与一小股中国守军之间。后者留守在此掩护大队列向西撤除。

Most combat took place in the southern part of the city， an ancient walled town known as Nanshi. With characteristic indifference to collateral damage， the Japanese bombed the district continuously throughout the day， and the smoke from countless fires drifted into the Huangpu River， obscuring the outlines of even the largest vessels.

大部分战役发生在城市的南部，一座名为南市的陈腐城镇。日军一如既往地对附带损伤发扬出漠视魄力，整日遏抑地轰炸该地区，无数大火燃起的烟雾飘向黄浦江，甚而连最大型的船只综合都被掩藏得弄脏不清。

In Nanshi， the Japanese were facing strong and well-prepared defenses manned by soldiers who had shown again and again that they were willing to fight to the death.

在南市，日军濒临的是刚硬且准备充分的堤防工事，这些防地由一次又一次讲明我方誓死不退的(中国)士兵守卫着。

The pillboxes， built with great tactical foresight near important street corners， formed especially formidable obstacles. Unwilling to lose their lives for the emperor so close to the end of the three-month battle， Japanese soldiers proceeded methodically and carefully through the narrow streets.

那些被奥密地建造在紧迫街角的碉堡，因其极具政策前瞻性而成为极度难以冲破的拦阻。濒临三个月战役行将戒指时的这种逆境，不肯为天皇松开送死的日军士兵，在忐忑的街谈上小心翼翼地、谦洁奉公地鼓励。

When they encountered a real or suspected Chinese resistance nest， they had a tank roll up and blast the position to pieces before advancing themselves

每当他们碰到如实存在或怀疑有中国对抗据点时，便会调来一辆坦克，将主义轰成碎屑后再络续前进。

Thousands of Chinese civilians had fled Nanshi and could only stand just inside the border of the French Concession， watching with increasing anger as their homes and shops were destroyed in a battle that by that time seemed futile to most. They vented their frustration on Chinese soldiers who had laid down their arms and escaped into the French district， many of them disguised as civilians in long gowns.

千千万万的中国子民逃离了南市，只可站在法租界边境内，眼睁睁地看着我方的家园和店铺在一场到当时为止对大巨额东谈主来说已显得毫无酷爱的战役中被残害，震怒日新月异。他们将挫败感发泄到那些放下刀兵、逃入法租界的中国士兵身上，其中很多东谈主还伪装成身着长衫的子民。

“A huge and angry mob of Chinese awaited them， cursing them for their resistance，” a reporter from The New York Times reported. “The crowd several times threatened violence against the disarmed soldiery， and French police reserves were called to beat them back with long bamboo staves.” The patriotic fervor that had seized many Chinese at the start of the war was beginning to unravel.

“一个震怒的中国专家都集在哪里，驳诘中国士兵的对抗步履，”《纽约时报》的一位记者报谈说，“东谈主群屡次恫吓要对这些缴械的士兵施暴，法国巡警不得不休养后备警力，用长竹棍将他们驱逐。” 干戈初期曾席卷很多中国东谈主的爱国轻柔，启动平稳剖判。
