每個民族都有自己的英雄——勇敢地、無私地幫助有困難的人們。
These great heroes are never forgotten.
這些偉大的英雄永遠不會被人們忘記。
They are ever loved and honored for the good and brave deeds they have done.
他們曾經因為他們的善良勇敢的行為而受到尊敬和愛戴。
We Americans will never forget such men as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
美國人永遠不會忘記喬治·華盛頓和亞伯拉罕·林肯這樣的人。
Now your Book Comrade will tell you some stories of famous heroes who lived hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
現在本書將講述生活在幾百年前的著名英雄的故事。
They lived long before men knew how to print books, but their great deeds were kept alive by wandering story-tellers called minstrels.
在那個年代，人類還不知道如何印刷書籍，但是他們的偉大事跡被游吟詩人傳頌。
These minstrels went about the country telling tales or singing songs of mighty warriors.
這些吟游詩人在全國各地講故事或傳唱勇士的歌曲。
They learned these tales from older minstrels.
他們從老藝人那里得知這些故事。
Of course, as they told the stories over and over, the minstrels added things that they imagined might have happened.
當然，當他們一遍又一遍地講述這些故事時，吟游詩人又在其中添加了想象的內容。
Thus the stories were passed on through the years until finally someone wrote them down on paper.
故事就這樣流傳了許多年，直至最后有人把故事寫在紙上。
Then people began to read them. Three of the greatest of these world heroes are Beowulf, Sigurd, and Roland.
然后供人們閱讀。世界上最偉大的三位英雄是貝奧武夫、西格德和羅蘭。
As you read of their brave deeds, just as they were told by wandering minstrels, could you make a play in which some of these heroes appear?
當你讀到他們的英勇事跡時，就像游吟詩人歌頌那樣，你能編出一個劇本，將這些英雄人物寫進里面嗎？
