質問: 和訳をお願いします。 joffre issued instructions on 18 august but held back the third and fourth armies because air and cavalry reconnaissance found few german troops opposite the two armies, only a large force moving north-west 40–50 kilometres (25–31 mi) away. on 19 august the fourth army of general fernand de langle de cary was ordered to occupy the bridges over the semois but not to advance into belgium until the german offensive began. a premature attack would advance into a trap rather than give time for the germans to empty luxembourg of troops before the french advanced. on 20 august the german armies in the south attacked the french first and second armies and next day the third and fourth armies began their offensive. the fourth army crossed the semois and advanced towards neufchâteau and the third army of general pierre ruffey attacked towards arlon, as a right flank guard for the fourth army. south of verdun, the third army was renamed army of lorraine and was to watch for a german offensive from metz, which left the remainder of the third army free to concentrate on the offensive into belgium. the french armies invaded belgium with nine infantry corps but ten german corps and six reserve brigades of the 4th and 5th armies lay between metz and the north of luxembourg.
回答: >joffre issued instructions on 18 august but held back the third and fourth armies because air and cavalry reconnaissance found few german troops opposite the two armies, only a large force moving north-west 40–50 kilometres (25–31 mi) away. on 19 august the fourth army of general fernand de langle de cary was ordered to occupy the bridges over the semois but not to advance into belgium until the german offensive began. ⇒ジョフルは8月18日に指令を出したが、第三、第四方面軍は推し留めた。なぜなら、航空隊および騎兵隊の偵察で、両方面軍の反対側に数個隊のドイツ軍隊を発見し、それと1個だけだが40–50キロ(25–31マイル)離れて北西へ移動中の大軍隊を発見したからである。8月19日に、フェルナン・ド・ラングル・ド・ケアリー将軍の第四方面軍は、セモア川に架かる橋を占拠するよう、ただし、ドイツ軍の攻撃が始まるまではベルギー内に踏み込まないよう命じられた。 >a premature attack would advance into a trap rather than give time for the germans to empty luxembourg of troops before the french advanced. on 20 august the german armies in the south attacked the french first and second armies and next day the third and fourth armies began their offensive. the fourth army crossed the semois and advanced towards neufchâteau and the third army of general pierre ruffey attacked towards arlon, as a right flank guard for the fourth army. ⇒早まった攻撃では、フランス軍が進軍する前にドイツ軍隊がルクセンブルクをて空にする時間を与えるという罠に落ち込む。8月20日に、南のドイツ軍はフランス第一、第二方面軍を攻撃し、次の日、第三、第四方面軍が攻撃を開始した。第四方面軍はヌフシャトーの方へ向ってセモア川を横切り、ピエール・ルフィー将軍の第三方面軍は、第四方面軍のための右側面擁護隊として、アーロンを攻撃した。 >south of verdun, the third army was renamed army of lorraine and was to watch for a german offensive from metz, which left the remainder of the third army free to concentrate on the offensive into belgium. the french armies invaded belgium with nine infantry corps but ten german corps and six reserve brigades of the 4th and 5th armies lay between metz and the north of luxembourg. ⇒第三方面軍は、ヴェルダンの南でロレーヌ方面軍と名前を変えて、メッツからのドイツの攻撃を監視することとした。そして、それが第三方面軍に余剰兵を生み出して、ベルギー攻撃に集中することができることになった。フランス軍は、9個歩兵軍団でベルギーに侵入したが、ドイツ軍としては、10個軍団および第4、第5方面軍の6個予備旅団がメッツとルクセンブルグの北の間に展開していた。
