siege of leningrad

The Siege of Leningrad was one of the longest, most destructive, and most lethal sieges of major cities in modern history.

在列宁格勒被围困的最长，最具破坏力之一，在现代历史上最致命的主要城市包围。

The German Siege of Leningrad caused widespread starvation among citizens, and lack of medical supplies and facilities made illnesses and injuries far more deadly.

德军对列宁格勒的围攻导致大量市民饿死，而医疗用品和设备的短缺致使疾病和受伤死亡率大增。

During the terrible siege of Leningrad in World War II, for example, emaciated citizens, having eaten all the birds, dogs and rats in the city, finally resorted to feasting on their own kind.

例如，在二战围攻列宁格勒时，那些憔悴的市民吃过城里的鸟类、狗和老鼠，在万般无奈之下，最终发生了同类相食的惨剧。
