??原文：it took place on many different planes:between napoleon’s french army and the angry inhabitants;between the british,ever keen to exacerbate the emperor’s difficulties,and the marshals sent from paris to try to keep them in check;between new forces of science and meritocracy and 
old ones of conservatism and birth.??全句经联系可译为“这场战争展示在许多不一样层面：在拿破仑的法国戎行和愤恨的半岛居民之间；在一向想给拿破仑皇帝加难添堵的英军和从巴黎派来企图钳制他们的法军将帅之间；在科学探究及贤达控制的新力气和思维保存及身世家世的旧力气之间”。
