[00:02.02]How Napoleon Crossed the Alps拿破仑是怎样越过阿尔卑斯山的
[00:04.74]In France there lived a great general whose name was Napoleon Bonaparte.
[00:11.53]He was the leader of the French army；
[00:13.51]and France was at war with nearly all the countries around．
[00:17.77]In the April of 1796, he wanted very much to take his soldiers into Italy；
[00:24.01]but between France and Italy there are high mountains called the Alps，
[00:28.39]the tops of which are covered with snow．
[00:31.00]“Is it possible to cross the Alps？”asked Napoleon．
[00:34.81]The men who had been sent to look at the passes? over the mountains shook their heads．
[00:39.95]Then one of them said，“It may be possible，but—”
[00:44.88]“Let me hear no more，”said Napoleon．“Forward? to Italy！”
[00:48.51]People laughed at the thought of an army of sixty thousand men crossing the Alps where there was no road．
[00:54.74]But Napoleon waited to see that everything was in good order，
[00:58.23]and then he gave the order to march．
[01:00.51]The long line of soldiers and horses and cannons?stretched for twenty miles．
[01:05.22]When they came to a steep place where there seemed to be no way to go farther the trumpets sounded “Charge！”
[01:11.68]Then every man did his best，and the whole army moved right onward．
[01:16.93]Soon they were safe over the Alps．In four days they were marching on the plains of Italy．
[01:22.73]“The man who has made up his mind to win，”said Napoleon，“will never say ‘Impossible’．”
