George Orwellの 'Homage to Catalonia' を読んでいます。
It was an extraordinary form for the training of a guerrilla army to take. Obviously if you have only a few days in which to train a solder, you must teach him the things he will most need; how to take cover, how to advance across open ground, how to mount guards and build a parapet--above all, how to use his weapons.
オーウェルが参加した人民軍は入った時は武器もないので武器の使い方の訓練もなかったそうだ。ところで "take cover" は何でしょう？
・Oxford English Dictionary: Protect oneself from attack by ducking down into or under a shelter.: if the bombing starts, take cover in the basement
・McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs: to seek shelter from gunfire or other projectiles. As soon as the firing started, we took cover behind a huge boulder.
