It's the 4^ of July in Australia.

这一天在澳大利亚相当于美国7月4日的国庆日
It's the moment of celebration,

它是庆祝的时刻
through the shedding of blood, the winning of national pride.

是澳大利亚人通过流血奋战赢得的
The point I'm trying to make initially is that remembering the First World War

我首先要说的一点是记住一战
is remembering sacred themes that define nations.

就是记住那些国家政权成立之时的神圣日子
The oddity of the First World War is that these nations were defined

一战的奇特之处在于
first of all because they're a part of imperial powers,

这些新兴国家最初是依附于那五大帝国的
but this war was at the one and the same time the apogee

然而一战也同时决定了
and the beginning and the end of empire.

一个帝国的生与死
Hence, nations that affirm their loyalty to Britain

因此那些曾宣誓效忠于大英帝国的国家
by dying on the beaches of Gallipoli,

或于加利波利的沙滩上
or in the hills of Gallipoli,

或于加利波利的山峦中
