很多人都知道魔兽争霸里面有一张地图叫 bridge too near, 其实魔兽里的很多地图名称都是有含义的. bridge too near 其实源于一部二战电影,名字叫< bridge too far> ,这个名字据说来源于英军中将布朗宁在执行市场花园行动的之前对蒙哥马利(二战英军最高指挥官)说: I think we may be going a bridge too far.
原文如下,
The name for the film comes from an unconfirmed comment made by British Lieutenant-General Frederick A.M. Browning, deputy commander of the First Allied Airborne Army, who told Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the operation's architect, before the operation, "I think we may be going a bridge too far."
顺便说一句著名的市场花园行动,在兄弟连(band of brothers)里也有过一集讲这个,行动的计划如下:
市场花园行动计划从英国将35000名战士空投到离荷兰前线64公里的后的腹地.对于这个计划,布朗宁中将描述道,我们将用降落伞铺成一道地毯,让第30集团军顺利通过.机械化部队会以迅雷不急掩耳盗铃之势夺取问题的根源--桥梁,坚守到桥梁被安全控制.其中,控制下来茵河的安恒桥,隔在盟军和德国心脏的最后一座主要的桥梁,将保证盟军东进进入德国.
Operation Market Garden envisions 35,000 men being flown 300 miles from air bases in England and being dropped as much as 64 miles behind enemy lines in the Netherlands. The largest airborne assault ever attempted, with Browning saying that "We're going to lay a carpet, as it were, of airborne troops, over which 30th corps can pass."[4], and confidently suggests that "We shall seize the bridges - it's all a question of bridges - with thunderclap surprise, and hold them until they can be secured."[5] by Allied mechanised units, the 20,000 vehicles led by XXX Corps. Arnhem's bridge crosses the Lower Rhine (Neder Rijn) River, the last major river between the Allies and the German heartland, and seizure of the bridge will allow vast Allied armies to turn east into Germany.
