When all was ready, Charlemagne said to his knights: "The mountain pass through which we must go is narrow.
一切就绪后，查理曼大帝对骑士们说：“我们必须经过的山口很窄。
If the enemy should attack us there, we could neither fight nor escape.

"You have no braver knight than Roland," said Ganelon. "Give him command of the guard."

but he would allow only twenty thousand soldiers to stay.
