In his early days Gandhi served as a stretcher-bearer on the British side in the Boer War, and he was prepared to do the same again in the war of 1914-1918.
本题考核知识点：定语和状语的翻译
该句是and连接的并列句，其主干结构是：Gandhi served as a... and he was prepared...。前一分句中“in his early days”和“in the Boer War”都作时间状语，修饰谓语served，翻译时应放在句首。“on the British side”做后置定语，修饰stretcher-bearer，应译为前置定语，即，“英方的担架员”。
词汇：serve as sth.意为“（为……）工作，服务，履行义务，尽职责”；stretcher-bearer指“抬担架者”；on sb.’s side意为“站在某人一边，和某人观点一致”。
翻译：早年间，在布尔战争期间甘地曾经为英方抬过担架，而且在1914-1918年战争期间他又准备这么做。
