Ⅳ.TRANSLATION How could they cross while the Royal Navy still guarded the seas and the Royal Air Force guarded the skies? Hitler did not dare to bring out his navy. Instead, he sent his air force to destroy Britain's southern airfields and then London. He failed. 1 In three months he lost over 2000 aeroplanes. This was the Battle of Britain. It was won by the skill and courage of those who flew a few hundred Spitfire and Hurricane fighters against Germany's thousands of more powerful machines. As Churchill said, "Never...has so much been owed by so many to so few". But much was owed to Churchill himself. He formed a Home Guard. 2 This was an army of citizens which would help to defend towns and villages if there was an enemy attack. Men and boys over seventeen armed themselves with any kind of weapon they could find. At the same time, 3 Churchill's stirring speeches gave new hope and courage to the nation. They also influenced President Roosevelt of America, who was already planning to help Britain by sending arms. "Hilter knows," said Churchill, "that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. 4 If we can stand up to him, ali Europe may he free. 5 But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, will sink into a Dark Age."
