烽火异乡情

　　When school teacher Harriet Winslow goes to Mexico to teach, she is kidnapped by Gen. Tomas Arroyo and his revolutionaries. An aging American, Ambrose "Old Gringo" Bierce also in Mexico, befriends Gen. Arroyo and meets Harriet. Bierce is a famous writer, who knowing that he is dying, wishes to keep his identity secret so he can determine his own fate. Though he likes Arroyo, Bierce tries to provoke the General's anger whenever possible in an attempt to get himself killed, thus avoiding suffering through his illness. Winslow is intrigued by both Bierce and Arroyo, and the men are in turn attracted to her. She becomes romantically involved with Arroyo. When Winslow learns of Bierce's true identity (a writer whose work she has loved and respected for years), she is singlemindedly determined to fulfill his dying wish. 　　译文(2): 当学校老师哈丽特 · 温斯洛去墨西哥教书时，她被托马斯 · 阿罗约将军和他的革命者绑架了。一个上了年纪的美国人，安布罗斯“老美国佬”比尔斯也在墨西哥，与阿罗约将军成为朋友，并遇到了哈里特。比尔斯是一位著名的作家，他知道自己快要死了，希望保守自己身份的秘密，这样他就可以决定自己的命运。虽然他喜欢阿罗约，比尔斯试图挑起将军的愤怒，每当可能的企图让自己被杀死，从而避免痛苦通过他的疾病。温斯洛对比尔斯和阿罗约都很感兴趣，男人们也被她吸引住了。她和阿罗约发生了恋爱关系。当温斯洛得知比尔斯的真实身份(一个作家的工作，她喜爱和尊重了多年) ，她一心一意地决心完成他的遗愿。
