It did depend on one, indeed:

勝利，的確依賴(lài)優(yōu)異個(gè)體，

Behold him! Arnold Winkelried!

看！ 阿諾德.里德激戰(zhàn)那里！

There sounds not to the trump of fame The echo of a nobler name.

聽(tīng)起來(lái)，原非什么顯赫背景，風(fēng)中傳揚(yáng)，一個(gè)高山仰止的名字，

Unmarked he stood amid the throng,

回首往事，沉思漫長(zhǎng)犀利，

In rumination deep and long,

擁擠人群里，他默默無(wú)人注意，

Till you might see with sudden grace,

或許，突然間他的魅力四射，

The very thought come o'er his face;

電花火石，臉上閃爍睿智，

And by the motion of his form:

他英勇善戰(zhàn)，預(yù)測(cè)戰(zhàn)局的進(jìn)展，

Anticipate the bursting storm;

他雙眉堅(jiān)毅，運(yùn)籌帷幄的指揮，

And by the uplifting of his brow,

他告訴士兵，如何放弩攻擊，

Tell where the bolt would strike, and how.

橫掃入侵者，千軍風(fēng)卷殘?jiān)啤?/p>

But't was no sooner thought than done;

電閃雷鳴，不過(guò)轉(zhuǎn)瞬之間，

The field was in a moment won.

陣地上，勝利的旗幟隨風(fēng)飄揚(yáng)。

“Make way for Liberty!” he CRIed:

“請(qǐng)給自由讓路！”他高聲叫道。

Then ran, with arms extended wide,

奔跑中，他伸開(kāi)無(wú)窮寬闊的臂膀，

As if his dearest friend to clasp;

哪怕，與親密的朋友擁抱握手，

Ten spears he swept within his grasp:

鐵肩橫掃，亦能抓過(guò)眾多矛槍。

“Make way for Liberty!” he CRIed,

“請(qǐng)給自由讓路！”聲音繼續(xù)回響，

Their keen points met from side to side;

槍尖銳利，嚴(yán)陣以待的對(duì)壘雙方，

He bowed among them like a tree,

他躬身如巨椽，佇立士兵中間，

And thus made way for Liberty.

力拔千鈞，為獲取自由疾奔。

Swift to the breach his comrades fly;

進(jìn)軍神速，士兵們英勇異常，

"Make way for Liberty!" they cry,

“請(qǐng)給自由讓路！”眾人異口同聲，

And through the Austrian phalanx dart,

他們呼嘯著，沖進(jìn)奧匈軍隊(duì)，

As rushed the spears through Arnold's heart;

疾馳飛鏢，刺中阿諾德的心臟，

While instantaneous as his fall,

他猝然倒下，倒在那片深情土地。

Rout, ruin, panic, scattered all.

潰敗毀滅恐慌，不斷蔓延滋長(zhǎng)，

An earthquake could not overthrow a city with a surer blow.

即使天崩地裂，亦無(wú)法讓普羅大眾，如此黯然神傷。

Thus Switzerland again was free,

瑞士人，終于重獲民族解放，

Thus Death made way for Liberty!

死亡，畢竟為自由敞開(kāi)道路！
