卡特·德鲁兹出生在弗吉尼亚州。他热爱自己的父母、自己的家乡以及南方这片土地。但他同样也深爱着自己的祖国。1861年秋季的一个早晨,也正是国家倍受内战煎熬之时，这位年轻的弗吉尼亚人平静而严肃地说：“父亲，来了一个联邦军团，我要去参加他们的军队。”7精选课件Text:AHorsemanintheSky2.Theoldmanlookedathisonlysonforamoment,tooshockedtospeak.Thenhesaid,“AsofthismomentyouareatraitortotheSouth.Pleasedon’ttellyourmotheraboutyourdecision.Sheissick,andwebothknowshehasonlyafewweekstolive.”2老人看着他唯一的儿子，一时震惊得说不出话来。过了一会，他说：“从现在起你就背叛南方了。请不要把你的决定告诉你母亲，她正病着，而且我们都知道她活不了几个星期了。”asof:自……起8精选课件Text:AHorsemanintheSky3.Carter’sfatherpaused,againlookingdeepintohisson’seyes.“Carter,”hesaid,“nomatterwhathappens—besureyoualwaysdowhatyouthinkisyourduty.”4.BothCarterDruseandhisfatherleftthetablethatmorningwithabrokenheart.AndCartersoonlefthishome,andeveryoneheloved,toweartheblueuniformoftheUnionsoldier.3卡特的父亲顿了顿，再次深深注视着儿子的眼睛。“卡特，”他说，“无论发生什么事，一定要完成你心目中应尽的职责。”4那天早上卡特·德鲁兹和父亲离开餐桌时都很伤心。不久，卡特离开了家，离开了所有他爱的人，穿上了联邦军士兵的蓝色制服。9精选课件Text:AHorsemanintheSky5.Onesunnyafternoon,afewweekslater,CarterDruselayatfulllengthuponhisstomach,hisfeetrestinguponhistoes,hisheaduponhisleftforearm.Hisextendedrighthandlooselygraspedhisrifle.Hewassleepingwhileonduty.Ifdetectedhewouldbedeadshortlyafterward,deathbeingthejustandlegalpenaltyofhiscrime.Fortunately,noonecouldseehim.Hewashiddenbysomebushes,growingbythesideoftheroad.5几周后一个阳光明媚的下午，卡特·德鲁兹直挺挺地俯卧着，脚尖顶地，头枕着左前臂，摊开的右手松散地握着来复枪——他在放哨时睡着了，一旦被发现，他会即刻丢掉性命，而死亡是对他的罪行公正合法的惩罚。幸运的是，没有人看到他，因为他被路边的灌木丛遮住了。lieupon/onone’sstomach:
