It's important to realize that after the war was over,

我们应认识到直到战争结束后
it's amazing how large that free French force had grown

自由法国在人们心目中的形象成长得
in people's minds.

是何等的惊人
In reality, it was a handful of people.

事实上组织者不过几人而已
That's the way it always is and that's the way it was in Athens as well.

这是常见之态也正是雅典当时的情况
It was a terrifying prospect to tackle this regime,

推翻这样一个看似牢不可摧的政权
which looked like it was unbeatable.

几乎是绝对不可能的
Remember, they had been put in place by the Spartans.

雅典人的地位已经被斯巴达人所取代
The Spartans ruled the world.

现在换斯巴达人统治世界
What could anybody expect to change that situation?

人们还想指望着什么变革吗
Just as the Nazis looked like

正如纳粹
they were in business for the thousand years

好像他们已经统治世界上千年一样
