Virginia Hall was one of the bravest and most successful spies for the Allies during World War II.
弗吉尼亚·霍尔是二战期间盟军最勇敢、最成功的间谍之一。
Hall was born in 1906 to a rich family in Baltimore, Maryland. She studied foreign languages in college.
霍尔于1906年出生在马里兰州巴尔的摩的一个富裕家庭。 她在大学学习外语。
In 1931, Virginia Hall took a job at the American Embassy in Warsaw, Poland. Then she served in embassies in Estonia, Austria and Turkey.
1931年,弗吉尼亚·霍尔在波兰华沙的美国大使馆工作。 随后,她在爱沙尼亚、奥地利和土耳其的大使馆任职。
While in Turkey, Virginia Hall suffered a tragic accident. Her gun accidentally fired while she was hunting. The bullet severely wounded her leg. Doctors removed it to save her life. After that, she wore a wooden leg to walk. She resigned from the State Department as a result. But her injury did not stop her from serving the Allies.
在土耳其期间,弗吉尼亚·霍尔遭遇了一场悲惨的事故。 她的枪在狩猎时意外走火。 子弹严重伤了她的腿。 医生为了救她而切除了它。 之后,她戴着木腿走路。 因此她辞去了国务院职务。 但她的伤势并未阻止她为盟军服务。
Virginia Hall was in Paris, France when World War II began. She joined the French Army and drove a medical vehicle. Before long, however, she had to leave to escape the invading German soldiers. Later, in England, she was invited to join a secret British organization created to organize resistance. It helped form military teams in German-occupied areas of Europe.
二战爆发时,弗吉尼亚·霍尔正身处法国巴黎。 她加入了法国军队,驾驶医疗车辆。 然而不久,她不得不离开以躲避入侵的德军。 后来,在英国,她受邀加入一个秘密的英国组织,旨在组织抵抗运动。 它协助组建了德国占领下的欧洲地区的军事团队。
Hall learned weaponry, communications and security. Then she was sent to occupied France. She established communications with the French Resistance movement in Lyon. She successfully plotted the escape of many allied airplane crews and prisoners of the Germans. She saved many lives.
霍尔学习了武器、通信和安全。 随后她被派往被占领的法国。 她与里昂的法国抵抗运动建立了联系。 她成功策划了许多盟军机组人员和德国战俘的逃脱。 她救了许多生命。
Later she escaped from France over the Pyrenees Mountains in the southern part of the country during the winter. After a time in Spain, however, Hall again spied in France. This time she was working for the United States Office of Strategic Services.
后来,她在法国南部的比利牛斯山脉冬季逃离法国。 然而,在西班牙一段时间后,霍尔又在法国进行间谍活动。 这次她在美国战略情报局工作。
Hall dressed as a farm worker to hide her identity. She reported German troop movements and organized Resistance groups. By now, the Germans knew who she was. Some called her the most dangerous enemy agent in occupied Europe.
霍尔打扮成一个农场工人来隐藏她的身份。 她报告了德国的部队调动和组织抵抗团体。 此时,德国人已经知道她是谁了。 有人称她为被占领欧洲最危险的敌方特工。
The Resistance fighters she organized gained great success. As the Germans withdrew from France, the fighters killed many enemy soldiers. They took hundreds of prisoners. They exploded four bridges. They destroyed communication lines.
她组织的抵抗战士取得了巨大成功。 随着德军从法国撤退,战士们击毙了许多敌军士兵。 他们俘虏了数百人。 他们炸毁了四座桥梁。 他们摧毁了通讯线路。
The United States honored Virginia Hall with a Distinguished Service Cross medal when the war ended. She was the only female civilian in the war to receive this medal.
战争结束时,美国授予弗吉尼亚·霍尔杰出服役十字勋章以示荣誉。 她是战争中唯一获得此奖章的女性平民。
