Roland's Dangerous Task
羅蘭的危險任務
When all was ready, Charlemagne said to his knights: "The mountain pass through which we must go is narrow.
一切就緒后，查理曼大帝對騎士們說：“我們必須經過的山口很窄。
If the enemy should attack us there, we could neither fight nor escape.
如果敵人在那里襲擊我們，我們既不能戰斗也不能逃脫。
Who will stay behind and keep the enemy back until our army has gone through the pass?"
在我軍通過關口之前，誰留下來，把敵人擋在后面呢？”
"You have no braver knight than Roland," said Ganelon. "Give him command of the guard."
加尼隆說：“羅蘭是最勇敢的騎士，讓他指揮守衛軍吧。”
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."
查理曼不想把羅蘭拋在身后，但羅蘭笑著說：“我很樂意這樣做。我感謝加尼隆指名要我來守衛。
Charlemagne bowed his head, for he feared that some harm might come to Roland.

"And I," cried one after another of the men, until the whole army would have remained with Roland;
“還有我，”士兵們一個接一個地喊道，最后全軍都要留在羅蘭身邊；
but he would allow only twenty thousand soldiers to stay.
但他只允許兩萬士兵留下來。
