Is there not a way to take assembly and automatically translate it to some higher level language?

Edit: Post-post thought: I guess that would basically be one step removed from decompilation which, as I understand it, is a tedious and still fairly manual process.

Your thought is correct. The basic problem is that higher level languages contain a lot of additional information that is lost in the compilation process.
