英语词汇war is hell的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

war is hell. Union general William Tecumseh Sherman said this in an 1880 Columbus, Ohio, speech after the Civil War: “There is many a boy here who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.” “Red” Sherman (red-haired and red-bearded) had however said the equivalent throughout the war. “War is cruelty and you cannot refine it,” he said of his destruction of Atlanta, and “You might as well appeal against the thunder- storm as against these terrible hardships of war.” “Cump” or “Uncle Billy,” as his “Yankee Bummers” often called him, was called the “Hun,” the “Burner,” the “Killer,” and “Human Fun- gus” by Southerners as he marched through Georgia to the sea.
