Field Marshal Montgomery
/ˌfiːld mɑːʃl mɒntˈɡɒməri/
/ˌfiːld mɑːrʃl məntˈɡʌməri/
- Bernard Law Montgomery (1887-1976) perhaps the best-known British military leader in the Second World War, particularly because of his victory when leading the 8th Army against the German forces commanded by Rommel at the Battle of El Alamein in north Africa (1942). The victory at El Alamein was the first major success for the Allies in the war. It made Montgomery a national hero and did much to make the British forces and people believe that victory in the war as a whole was possible. In 1944 Montgomery commanded the British forces in northern Europe after the Normandy landings. However, the Allies at this time were commanded by General Eisenhower, and Montgomery did not get on well with him or like the fact that Eisenhower was senior to him. Montgomery was known by his men and the British public as 'Monty' and always recognized because he wore a beret (= military cap) with two badges on it. He had a strong personality and was very popular with his men. He was made a knight in 1942 and a viscount in 1946.
蒙哥马利元帅：伯纳德·劳·蒙哥马利（1887-1976）也许是第二次世界大战中最著名的英国军事领导人，尤其是因为他在领导第八军抵抗隆美尔指挥的德军在El Alamein战役中的胜利时北非（1942）。El Alamein的胜利是盟军在战争中的第一个重大成功。它使蒙哥马利成为民族英雄，并为使英国军队和人民相信在整个战争中取得胜利做出了许多贡献。1944年，诺曼底登陆后，蒙哥马利（Montgomery）指挥英军进入北欧。但是，此时的盟军是由艾森豪威尔将军指挥的，蒙哥马利与他相处得并不好，或者喜欢艾森豪威尔比他高一的事实。蒙哥马利被他的手下和英国公众称为“蒙蒂” 并一直被认可，因为他戴着有两个徽章的贝雷帽（军帽）。他个性很强，在他的男人中很受欢迎。他在1942年被任命为骑士，并在1946年成为爵子。
