英語段落講解：Recall to active duty

　　若有戰(zhàn)，召發(fā)回!

　　我想，這可能是只有中國(guó)前軍人才會(huì)發(fā)出的如此鏗鏘有力的豪言壯語：若有戰(zhàn)，召必回!

　　英語體驗(yàn)在先：在我們習(xí)慣性地問“若有戰(zhàn)，召必回用英語怎么說?”之前，我們還是先做做英語體驗(yàn)吧，先進(jìn)到英語環(huán)境中體驗(yàn)英語，然后考慮其它問題。

　　我們“體驗(yàn)”以下英語片段：

　　MacArthur was recalled to active duty in 1941 as commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East. A series of disasters followed, starting with the destruction of his air forces on 8 December 1941, and the invasion of the Philippines by the Japanese. MacArthur's forces were soon compelled to withdraw to Bataan,

　　或許大家是第一次接觸到英語表達(dá)recall to active duty，那么文中出現(xiàn)的這個(gè)was recalled to active duty是什么“軍事用語/英語”呢?

　　原來它指的就是：

　　a retired soldier or a former soldier will return or go back or is called back into active military service before being deployed for combats.

　　Or we will say after a soldier gets out of the military, the military can mobilize and call him back into active duty or active service

　　能說出這樣的英語，積累下面的“語料”：

　　a retired soldier or a former soldier will return or go back or is called back into active military service before being deployed for combats.

　　就比只會(huì)說recall to active duty的口語表達(dá)能力強(qiáng)很多了。

　　你總是說要提高英語口語，你能做到這點(diǎn)嗎?你只會(huì)用中文記住短語recall to active duty嗎?

　　現(xiàn)在換成用中文說，就是退伍軍人的“召回”了。然而，我們需要你具備的，是能說出這“一大串”英語的能力。這也就是將來和人討論“召回”時(shí)的“談資”，而不是僅僅知道英語單詞“召回”，然后什么也不會(huì)說了。

　　我們多少人“學(xué)英語”不是這種情況呢?“蹦單詞”，或者說“考詞匯量”還行，“拓展表達(dá)”，哪怕就某個(gè)topic說上三言兩語，就萬般艱難了：平時(shí)他就沒有這方面的“語料”積累啊!“書到用時(shí)方恨少”。

　　MacArthur was recalled to active duty in 1941 as commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East. A series of disasters followed, starting with the destruction of his air forces on 8 December 1941, and the invasion of the Philippines by the Japanese. MacArthur's forces were soon compelled to withdraw to Bataan,

　　這段英語說的大概意思是：麥克阿瑟1941年被部隊(duì)召回成為現(xiàn)役軍人，職務(wù)是美國(guó)三軍總司令，駐扎地是遠(yuǎn)東。一系列的災(zāi)難隨后發(fā)生了：開始時(shí)是他的空軍受到重創(chuàng)作，時(shí)間1941年12月8日，接著日本人對(duì)菲律賓發(fā)動(dòng)入侵。麥將的三軍不久被迫撤退到Bataan地區(qū)。
