 Nathan Hale

内森黑尔
Nathan Hale was a soldier for the Continental1 Army during the American Revolutionary War. Widely considered America's first spy, he volunteered for an intelligence-gathering mission, but was captured by the British. He is best remembered for his speech before being hanged following the Battle of Long Island, in which he said, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Hale has long been considered an American hero and, in 1985, he was officially designated the state hero of Connecticut. Statues of Nathan Hale are located at the headquarters of the CIA in Langley, Fairfax County, Virginia, the Federal Triangle in Washington, D.C., downtown Chicago, on the campus at Yale University, and in the Tulane University Law School reading room.
内森黑尔是美国独立战争时期大陆军团的一名战士。他被认为是美国第一个间谍。他自愿接受情报搜集任务,但是被英军认出并抓获。他被处以绞刑之前说了一句话,让人们永世难忘,那就是"我惟一的憾事就是我只能为祖国牺牲一次",之后就爆发了长岛战争。一直以来黑尔都被认为是美国的英雄。1985年,他被正式冠以"康涅狄格州的英雄"称号。他的雕像被放在很多地方,比如弗吉尼亚州的费尔法克斯县、 兰利的中央情报局、芝加哥商业区、华盛顿特区的联邦三角、耶鲁大学的校园,还有杜兰大学法学院的阅览室里。
