because for Charles de Gaulle,

因为对被视为反抗中流砥柱的
who assumed the kind of mantle of the resistance,

对戴高乐来说
what he needed to do was to make people forget

他只需要让人们忘却
the communist resistance and to see himself as

共产党的反抗
this sort of mystical body of the French people,

让法国人民将其奉若神明
that as his voice crackled over the airwaves,

1940年6月18日当他的声音从广播
for those who could hear it--

断断续续地传来
and many people who hadn't heard it claimed to have heard it,

激励了那些听到广播的人以及
on the 18th of June, 1940--that we must keep resisting.

没听到但称听到的人让他们相信必须反抗
It was part of the mantle that he would assume on his shoulders

他在世界城市和村庄教堂撒手人寰之前
before he stomped off to Colombey-les-Deux-églises,

战后每当他不能随心所欲地处理问题时
when he couldn't get his way in every issue after the war.

这就是他肩负的重任
