Para2.
An order issued by Supreme Allied Commander General Eisenhower to the troops read: “Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened… But this is the year 1944… The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!”
潮流已经逆转! (比喻战争形势逆转)
Para.4
The fiercest fighting was at Omaha Beach. The enemy were hiding, ready to attack the Allied soldiers even before they reached land. Boats were hit and men drowned, while those who did make it to the beach faced heavy machine gunfire. By mid-morning, hundreds lay dead in the water and amongst the tanks on the beach.
到了上午十点左右已有数百人在水里或海滩上的坦克之间阵亡。
Translation
Para.6
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
...As part of this solemn and moving occasion, a former soldier read out to the crowd these lines from the poem For the Fallen, by Laurence Binyon:
For the Fallen 是英国诗人 Laurence Binyon(1869-1943) 于1914 年 9 月在英国的《泰晤士报》上发表的诗歌。该诗歌表达了作者对阵亡将士的缅怀之情，广为流传。诗歌的第三段和第四段（尤其是第四段）已经跨越了国界，成为缅怀阵亡将士的著名挽词。课文中摘选的就是第四段。
他们永远不会老去，而我等生者日渐衰老：
他们永远不为耄耋所难，永远不为残年所累。
每当太阳落下，每当清晨来临，
我们就会想起他们。
