The untried general faced battle the next day, and was more than a little frightened.

一位未曾有过作战经验的将军非常惶恐，因为第二天将有个战役要面对。

Seeking inspiration, he looked into the history of great commanders and learned that Wellington had always dressed in red for battle,

为了寻找灵感，他翻查了历年来伟大将领的档案，发现威灵顿将军每次战斗中都身穿红色衣服，

so that his men would not realize if he were shot.

万一他被射伤的话，他的士兵也不会发现。

Instantly he called in his adjutant and ordered a pair of trousers in a rich, dark brown.

于是他传了副官进来并指示手下做了一条深褐色的裤子。
