Roland's Dangerous Task
罗兰的危险任务
When all was ready, Charlemagne said to his knights: "The mountain pass through which we must go is narrow.
一切就绪后，查理曼大帝对骑士们说：“我们必须经过的山口很窄。
If the enemy should attack us there, we could neither fight nor escape.
如果敌人在那里袭击我们，我们既不能战斗也不能逃脱。
Who will stay behind and keep the enemy back until our army has gone through the pass?"
在我军通过关口之前，谁留下来，把敌人挡在后面呢？”
"You have no braver knight than Roland," said Ganelon. "Give him command of the guard."
加尼隆说：“罗兰是最勇敢的骑士，让他指挥守卫军吧。”
Now Charlemagne did not want to leave Roland behind, but Roland smiled and said, "Gladly will I do this. I thank Ganelon for naming me."
查理曼不想把罗兰抛在身后，但罗兰笑着说：“我很乐意这样做。我感谢加尼隆指名要我来守卫。
Charlemagne bowed his head, for he feared that some harm might come to Roland.
查理曼低下了头，因为他担心罗兰会受伤。
Then Oliver came quickly to Roland's side. "If my comrade stays behind, I will stay with him," he said.
然后奥利弗很快来到罗兰身边，他说：“如果我的战友留下守卫，我要和他一起留下。”
"And I," cried one after another of the men, until the whole army would have remained with Roland;
“还有我，”士兵们一个接一个地喊道，最后全军都要留在罗兰身边；
but he would allow only twenty thousand soldiers to stay.
但他只允许两万士兵留下来。
