The Long March By Mao Zedong

七律·长征

毛泽东

红军不怕远征难，万水千山只等闲。

五岭逶迤腾细浪，乌蒙磅礴走泥丸。

金沙水拍云崖暖，大渡桥横铁索寒。

更喜岷山千里雪，三军过后尽开颜。

The Long March

By Mao Zedong

Tr. Wang Rong

The Red Army weren’t afraid of all kinds of the great hardships on the Long March at all,

Taking ten thousand crags and torrents for granted in the Red Army’s opinion. [krægz] [ˈtɔrənt] [ˈɡrɑːntɪd]

The endless Five Ridges [ridʒ] are only fine ripples [‘rɪpl] splashing [splæʃ] in the eyes of the Red Army soldiers,

The steep [stiːp] Mountain Wumeng is just small mud balls rolling at the foot of the Red Army warriors.[ˈwɒriə(r)]

The raging billows of Jinsha River lapped the soaring cliffs in warm clouds。[ˈreidʒiŋ] [ˈbiləu] [ˈsɔːrɪŋ]

Luding Bridge of the Dadu River is made up of dozens of iron cables in frosty sky.

While climbing thousands of miles of the snowy Min Mountains, the Red Army were all wild with joy.

While crossing the snow-capped Min Mountains, the Red Army all beamed with smiles. [‘snəʊkæpt]

红军不怕远征难，万水千山只等闲。

The Red Army weren’t afraid of all kinds of the great hardships on the Long March,

Taking ten thousand crags and torrents for granted in the Red Army’s opinion. [krægz] [ˈtɔrənt]

红军不怕万里长征路上的一切艰难困苦，万水千山在红军的眼里只不过是平常事。

五岭逶迤腾细浪，乌蒙磅礴走泥丸。

The endless Five Ridges [ridʒ] are only fine ripples [‘rɪpl] splashing [splæʃ] in the eyes of the Red Army soldiers,

The steep [stiːp] Mountain Wumeng is just small mud balls rolling at the foot of the Red Army warrior. [ˈwɒriə(r)]

绵延不绝的五岭山脉，在红军看来只不过是微波细浪在起伏；而气势雄伟的乌蒙山，在红军眼里也不过是一颗泥丸。

金沙水拍云崖暖，大渡桥横铁索寒。

The raging billows of Jinsha River lapped the soaring cliffs in warm clouds。[ˈreidʒiŋ] [ˈbiləu] [ˈsɔːrɪŋ]

Luding Bridge of the Dadu River is made up of dozens of iron cables in frosty sky. [ˈaɪən] [ˈkeɪblz]

金沙江浊浪滔天，湍急的浪花拍击着高耸入云的峭壁悬崖，祥云腾腾。大渡河上的泸定桥横跨东西两岸，几十根铁索凌空高悬，寒意阵阵。

更喜岷山千里雪，三军过后尽开颜。

While climbing thousands of miles of the snowy Min Mountains, the Red Army were all wild with joy.

While crossing the snow-capped Min Mountains, the Red Army all beamed with smiles. [‘snəʊkæpt]

更加令人喜悦的是登上千里积雪的岷山，红军在翻越雪山之后个个笑逐颜开。

1935年5月25日7时，红一团开始强渡大渡河。十七勇士战胜了惊涛骇浪，冲过了敌人的重重火网，终于登上了对岸。
