介绍（中）	1862年夏天，波托马克军团对弗吉尼亚州的里士满发动了进攻，但被击退。这幅戏剧性的作品由《哈珀周刊》的艺术家兼记者荷马设计，描述了 5 月 31 日在公平橡树（或七松树）的战斗，当时联邦军队在最后一刻被增援部队拯救。作为荷马最雄心勃勃的战争题材之一，戏剧性的构图表现了近战中的士兵被唤醒到狂热的程度。附文强调：士兵们在战斗中很少真正交叉刺刀。在冲锋的团到达对手之前，后者通常会在飞行中寻求安全。世界上所有的力量和勇气都无法保护一个人在刺刀接近他时站着不动，就不会被刺刀穿过身体。在费尔奥克斯，叛军几乎总是在我们的刺刀到达他们之前崩溃并逃跑。然而，在一两次情况下，发生了肉搏战。其中之一在我们的图片中实现。
介绍（英）	In the summer of 1862 the Army of the Potomac mounted an assault on Richmond, Virginia, but was repulsed. This dramatic composition, designed by Homer, an artist-correspondent for Harper’s Weekly, describes fighting at Fair Oaks—or Seven Pines—on May 31, when Union forces were saved by last-minute reinforcements. One of Homer’s most ambitious war subjects, the dramatic composition represents soldiers in close combat roused to a fever pitch. The accompanying text stressed: Soldiers seldom actually cross bayonets with each other in battle. Before the regiment which is charging reaches its antagonist, the latter usually seeks safety in flight. All the strength and all the bravery in the world will not protect a man from being run through the body by a bayonet if he stands still while it approaches him. . . . At Fairoaks the rebels almost invariably broke and fled before our bayonets reached them. In one or two instances, however, there were hand-to-hand tussles. . . . One of them is realized in our picture.
