Napoleon wanted to take his army into Italy. 拿破仑想带着他的军队打进意大利。

There was one problem. 但有个棘手的问题。

Between France and Italy stand the Alps, 法国和意大利之间隔着阿尔卑斯山，

some of the highest mountains in Europe, covered with snow all year. 那是欧洲最高的山脉之一，一年四季都覆着厚厚的雪。

He sent engineers to study the mountain passes. 他派了工程兵去探查翻山的路线。

When they came back, he asked them, "Is it possible to cross?" 他们回来后，拿破仑就问：“能翻过去吗？”

"It may be possible," one of them began, "but..." 其中一个人支支吾吾地说：“也许能……但是……”

"That's all I need to hear," said Napoleon. “有你这句话就够了，”拿破仑说。

"Forward, to Italy." “全军前进，开拔意大利！”

People laughed at the idea. 大家都觉得这想法简直是天方夜谭。

Sixty thousand men, with horses and heavy guns, climbing over the Alps? 六万人，带着战马和大炮，要翻过阿尔卑斯山？

But the long line began to move, 然而，长长的行军队伍真的开动了，

and it stretched for twenty miles. 蜿蜒拉长了整整二十英里。

Whenever the path seemed to end, the trumpets sounded, 每当路看着像是到了尽头，号角声就会吹响，

and every man pushed a little harder. 每个人都咬咬牙，拼尽全力往前冲。

Four days later, the army was marching across the plains of Italy. 四天后，大军已经踏上了意大利的平原。

"A man who has decided to win," “一个下定决心要赢的人，”

said Napoleon, "never says the word impossible." 拿破仑说，“字典里永远没有‘不可能’这三个字。”
