【英语美文阅读】 - 希腊战歌

Sons of Greeks, arise!

The glorious hour’s gone forth,

And, worthy of such ties,

Display who gave us birth.

Sons of Greeks, let us go!

In arms against the foe,

Till their hated blood shall flow In a river past our feet.

Then manfully despising The Turkish tyrant’s yoke,

Let your country see you rising,

And all her chains are broke.

Leonidas recalling,

That chief of an ancient song

Who saved you once from falling,

The terrible! The strong!

With his three hundred waging

The battle, long he stood.

And like a lion raging,

Expires in seas of blood.

希腊人的子孙，快起来！

光荣的时刻已经到来，

要无愧于我们高贵的血脉，

看一看我们是谁的后代。

希腊人的子孙，让我们走！

拿起武器与敌人战斗，

让那仇恨之血聚成河在我们的脚下流。

做一个大丈夫，

鄙视那土耳其暴君的枷锁，

让祖国看见你们的奋起，

把那所有的枷锁打破。

想想你们的列奥尼达，

你们一直在把他歌唱，

他曾将你们拯救于危亡，

该是何等勇敢，何等坚强！

他曾率领着三百名勇士，

坚守阵地，开展战斗，

如同一头怒吼的雄师，

浴血奋斗，坚持到最后。
