双语有声阅读：爱国志士

Who Loves His Country

 

Who loves his country will not rest

Content with(2) vow¹ and pledge alone,

But flies her banner in his breast

And counts her destiny his own(3) --

Not only when the bugle² plays

Stands forth³ to give his life for her,

But on the field of common days

Is strong to live his life(4) for her.

He is not satisfied to claim

As heritage her power and fame,(5)

But, striving, earns the light to wear

The shining honor of her name.

 

爱国志士

 

 

爱国志士决不满足于

泛泛的誓词与诺言，

而要在胸中扬起祖国的旗帜

与她共命运，同呼吸--－

不只是在军号吹响的时刻

毅然挺身而出，为国捐躯，

就是在平常的日子里

也为她呕心沥血，坚定不渝。

爱国志士决不满足于

承袭祖国的威力与声望，

而要奋发图强，去赢得权利

以分享祖国英名的光辉荣誉。
