A huge army was marching into Switzerland. 一支庞大的军队正挺进瑞士。
The soldiers wore armor from head to foot. 士兵们从头到脚都裹着盔甲。
They walked close together, shields touching, with long spears pointing forward. 他们紧挨着前进，盾牌挨着盾牌，长矛齐刷刷地指向前方。
It was like a moving wall of steel. 简直就像是一堵会移动的钢铁之墙。
The Swiss were farmers. 而瑞士人只是一群农民。
Some had bows. 有人拿着弓箭，
Some had only tools and sticks. 有人手里只有农具和木棍。
They shot arrows, and the arrows bounced off. 他们射出了箭，但箭全都被弹开了。
"If we can't break that line," “如果我们冲不破那道防线，”
their leader said, "we will lose our country today." 他们的首领说，“今天我们的国家就要亡了。”
Then a man named Arnold Winkelried stepped forward. 这时，一个叫阿诺德·温克里德的人站了出来。
"I have a wife and children at home," he said. 他说：“我家还有妻子和孩子，
"Look after them. 拜托大家替我照顾他们了。
I'm going to open a way for you." 我去给你们杀出一条路来。”
He had no weapon at all. 他身上连一件武器都没有。
He ran straight at the wall of spears, 他径直冲向了那堵由长矛组成的铁墙，
with his arms open wide, 张开双臂，
and pulled as many as he could into his own chest. 拼尽全力把尽可能多的长矛揽进自己的胸膛。
For a moment, there was a gap in the line. 就在那一瞬间，敌人的防线被撕开了一道缺口。
The Swiss poured through it, and they won. 瑞士人顺着缺口一拥而上，最终赢得了胜利。
One man had made himself the door that everyone else walked through. 一个男人，用自己的血肉之躯，为所有人推开了一扇生路之门。
