Be Ye Men Of Valor “Be Ye Men Of Valor”
Ye =【古英语】“您”的意思；Valor
= 英勇，勇猛
I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister in a solemn hour for the life of our country, of our empire, of our allies, and, above all, of the cause of freedom.A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders.The Germans, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armored tanks, have broken through the French defenses north of the Maginot Line, and strong columns of their armored vehicles are ravaging the open country, which for the first day or two was without defenders.They have penetrated deeply and spread alarm and confusion in their track.Behind them there are now appearing infantry in lorries, and behind them, again, the large maes are moving forward.The re-groupment of the French armies to make head against, and also to strike at, this intruding wedge has been proceeding for several days, largely aisted by the magnificent efforts of the Royal Air Force.solemn = 严肃的；raging = 猛烈地继续下去；Flanders = 佛兰德斯（中世纪欧洲一伯爵领地,包括现比利时的东佛兰德省和西佛兰德省以及法国北部部分地区）；armored = 武装的；Maginot Line = 马其诺防线（事实上，法语指“Ligne Maginot”，是以当时法国的国防部长André/ 9
Be Ye Men Of Valor Maginot的名字来命名的），是一条混凝土的防线和障碍物，横亘在法国北部，其设计的目的是用来防御德国军队的入侵；columns = 纵队；ravaging = 蹂躏； penetrated = 入侵；in their track = 在他们的途中；infantry = 步兵；lorries = 【英】卡车（【美】= truck）；re-groupment = 重新集结；make head against, and also to strike at = 试图切断敌人的行军队形并进行痛击；intruding wedge = 入侵的势力
We must not allow ourselves to be intimidated by the presence of these armored vehicles in unexpected places behind our lines.If they are behind our Front, the French are also at many points fighting actively behind theirs.Both sides are therefore in an extremely dangerous position.And if the French Army, and our own Army, are well handled, as I believe they will be;if the French retain that genius for recovery and counter-attack for which they have so long been famous;and if the British Army shows the dogged endurance and solid fighting power of which there have been so many examples in the past – then, a sudden transformation of the scene might spring into being.retain = 保持；recovery = 痊愈；counter-attack = 反攻；dogged endurance = 顽强的忍耐（力）；solid fighting power = 强大的战斗力；transformation = 转变；spring into being = 开始
It would be foolish, however, to disguise the gravity of the hour.It would be still more foolish to lose heart and courage or to suppose that well-trained, well-equipped armies numbering three or four millions/ 9
Be Ye Men Of Valor of men can be overcome in the space of a few weeks, or even months, by a scoop, or raid of mechanized vehicles, however formidable.We may look with confidence to the stabilization of the front in France, and to the general engagement of the maes, which will enable the qualities of the French and British soldiers to be matched squarely against those of their adversaries.For myself, I have invincible confidence in the French Army and its leaders.Only a very small part of that splendid Army has yet been heavily engaged;and only a very small part of France has yet been invaded.the gravity of the hour = 形势的严峻性；lose heart
= 丧失勇气；by a scoop = 由于运气好；raid =
袭击； mechanized vehicles = 机械化的车辆； formidable = 令人畏惧的；stabilization of the front in France = 法国前线的稳定；engagement = 战斗；matched squarely against = 势均力敌的对手；adversaries = 敌人； invincible confidence = 坚定的信心； heavily engaged = 全体投入战斗；invaded =入侵
There is a good evidence to show that practically the whole of the specialized and mechanized forces of the enemy have been already thrown into the battle;and we know that very heavy loes have been inflicted upon them.No officer or man, no brigade or division, which grapples at close quarters with the enemy, wherever encountered, can fail to make a worthy/ 9
Be Ye Men Of Valor contribution to the general result.practically the whole
= 几乎所有的；specialized and mechanized forces of the enemy = 专业化和机械化的敌人；thrown into the battle = 投入到战斗中；brigade = 旅；division = 师； grapples at close quarters = 与„„近距离格斗；a worthy contribution = 有价值的贡献
The armies must cast away the idea of resisting behind concrete lines or natural obstacles, and must realize that mastery can only be regained by furious and unrelenting aault.And this spirit must not only animate the High Command, but must inspire every fighting man.cast away = 抛弃；resisting
= 抵抗；concrete lines = 由混凝土构成的（防）线；natural obstacles
= 天然障碍物；furious and unrelenting
= 强烈和持续不断的； aault = 袭击；animate = 激励；High Command = 部队的司令部 In the airwe have been clawing down three or four to one of our enemies;and the relative balance of the British and German air forces is now considerably more favorable to us than at the beginning of the battle.In cutting down the German bombers, we are fighting our own battle as well as that of France.at serious odds = 众寡不敌的机会； at odds = 在„„的机会；hitherto = 【古】到目前为止； clawing down
= 击落（敌机）；cutting down = 击落
My confidence in our ability to fight it out, to the finish, with the German Air Force has been strengthened by/ 9
Be Ye Men Of Valor the fierce encounters which have taken place and are taking place.At the same time, our heavy bombers are striking nightly at the tap root of German mechanized power, and have already inflicted serious damage upon the oil refineries on which the Nazi effort to dominate the world directly depends.heavy bombers
= 重型轰炸机；striking = 袭击；tap-root = 主要的后勤供应；oil refineries = 炼油厂； on which
= 在„„上；dominate the world
= 在世界上称霸
We must expect that as soon as stability is reached on the Western Front, the bulk of that hideous apparatus of aggreion which gashed Holland into ruin and slavery in a few days will be turned upon us.I am sure I speak for all when I say we are ready to face it;to endure it;and to retaliate against it--to any extent that the unwritten laws of war permit.Western Front = 西线，指的是欧洲的西部战场，包括荷兰、比利时、法国及德国的西部（与其相对应的是东线，东线通常是指苏联及其同盟的战线）；bulk = 大多数；hideous = 令人惊骇的； apparatus of aggreion = 侵略性的武器装备；gashed„„into = 将„„撕裂；ruin and slavery = 废墟和奴役制度；turned upon us = 转向我们；endure
= 忍受；retaliate = 还击
There will be many men and many women in the Island who when the ordeal comes upon them, as come it will, will feel comfort, and even a pride, that they are sharing the perils of our lads at the Front--soldiers, sailors and airmen, God ble them--and are drawing/ 9
Be Ye Men Of Valor away from them a part, at least, of the onslaught they have to bear.Is not this the appointed time for all to make the utmost exertions in their power?

= 猛攻；bear
= 负担；utmost exertions
= 竭尽全力，尽最大的努力
If the battle is to be won, we must provide our men with ever-increasing quantities of the weapons and ammunition they need.We must have, and have quickly, more airplanes, more tanks, more shells, more guns.There is imperious need for these vital munitions.They increase our strength against the powerfully armed enemy.They replace the wastage of the obstinate struggle;and the knowledge that wastage will speedily be replaced enables us to draw more readily upon our reserves and throw them in, now that everything counts so much.ammunition = 弹药；shells = 炮弹；imperious need = 迫切的需要；vital munitions = 至关重要的军需品；wastage = 损耗；obstinate struggle
= 顽强的争夺战斗
Our task is not only to win the battleside by side, the British and French peoples have advanced to rescue not only Europe but mankind from the foulest and most soul-destroying tyranny which has ever darkened and stained the pages of history.Behind thembehind the armies and fleets of Britain and Franceupon all of whom the long night of barbarism will descend,/ 9

Today is Trinity Sunday.Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of truth and justice: “Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readine for the conflict;for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.As the will of God is in heaven, even so let it be.”
