拿破侖·波拿巴出生于法國的科西嘉島，是世界著名的軍事家、政治家，法蘭西第一共和國執(zhí)政官，十九世紀(jì)最著名的法蘭西第一帝國的締造者。拿破侖對(duì)于后世的影響是巨大的，下面，我們跟著這篇英語聽力短文，一起去認(rèn)識(shí)這位為偉大的人物。
About a hundred years ago there lived a great general whose name was Napoleon Bonaparte. He was the leader of the French army; and France was at war with nearly all the countries around. He wanted very much to take his soldiers
into Italy; but between France and Italy there are high mountains called the Alps, the tops of which are covered
with snow.
大約在一百年前，有一個(gè)偉大的將軍，名叫拿破侖·波拿馬。他是法國軍隊(duì)的統(tǒng)帥。當(dāng)時(shí)法國幾乎對(duì)所有的鄰國作戰(zhàn)。他非常迫切地想把軍隊(duì)開進(jìn)意大利。但是在法國和意大利之間，有一座高山，叫阿爾卑斯山，山頂上覆蓋著積雪。
"Is it possible to cross the Alps?" asked Napoleon.
“能越過阿爾卑斯山嗎?”拿破侖問。
The men who had been sent to look at the passes over the mountains shook their heads. Then one of them said, "It may be possible, but—”
被派去查看山道的人都搖頭。其中一個(gè)說:“也許可能，但是—”
"Let me hear no more,”said Napoleon. "Forward to Italy!"
“別讓我再聽到這些，”拿破侖說。“向意大利前進(jìn)!”
People laughed at the thought of an army of sixty thousand men crossing the Alps where there was no road But Napoleon waited to see that everything was in good order, and then he gave the order to march.
人們覺得一支六萬人的軍隊(duì)想翻越?jīng)]有道路的阿爾卑斯山的想法非�？尚�，但是拿破侖只等看到一切都準(zhǔn)備就緒，就下令出發(fā)。
The long line of soldiers and horses and cannons stretched for twenty miles. When they came to a steep place where there seemed to be no way to go farther the trumpets sounded "Charge!" Then every man did his best, and the whole army moved right onward.
大隊(duì)人馬和大炮綿延20英里。當(dāng)他們來到一處看起來無路可走的陡峭的山地時(shí)，吹起了沖鋒號(hào)。“沖啊!”這時(shí)每個(gè)人都盡了最大的努力，整個(gè)軍隊(duì)繼續(xù)順利前進(jìn)。
Soon they were safe over the Alps. In four days they were marching on the plains of Italy.
不久他們就平安地翻過了阿爾卑斯山。四天后，他們就在意大利的平原上行軍了。
"The man who has made up his mind to win,”said Napoleon, "will never say Impossible'."
“下定決心要取得勝利的人，”拿破侖說，“永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)說‘不可能’。”
