In July Burgoyne had captured Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York and was marching southwards to link up with Howe.

7月，伯戈因占领了纽约州北部的提康德罗加堡，并向南进军与豪会合。

It was also occupied by Burgoyne in 1777, being situated near the old Fort on the left bank of the Hudson.

它也于 1777 年被 Burgoyne 占领，位于哈德逊河左岸的旧堡附近。

The following month, the state government was forced to evacuate Kingston after Burgoyne reached Saratoga, but on the 17th of October the British general was forced to surrender to General Horatio Gates.

次月，伯戈因抵达萨拉托加后， 州政府被迫撤离金斯敦，但 10 月 17 日， 这位英国将军被迫向霍雷肖·盖茨将军投降。

Burgoyne,hemmed in from all sides by the American forces,his flanks harried, his foraging parties beaten back,his supplies cut off,surrendered on October 17,1777,to General Gates, who had superseded General Schuyler in time to receive the honor.

伯戈因被美军从四面八方围困， 他的侧翼遭到袭击，他的觅食方被击退， 他的补给被切断， 于 1777 年 10 月 17 日向盖茨将军投降，盖茨将军及时取代了斯凯勒将军， 获得了这一荣誉。

The carelessness engendered by these usages descended even to the war of the Revolution and lost the States the important fortress of Ticonderoga opening a way for the army of Burgoyne into what was then the bosom of the country.

这些用法造成的粗心大意甚至影响到革命战争，并使各州失去了提康德罗加的重要堡垒，为伯戈因的军队开辟了一条进入当时国家腹地的道路。
