The true measure of all our actions is how long the good in them lasts. Each year has compounded in the Europe for the benefits of our victory in the Second World War since it enabled our subsequent successes and our achievements. Seeing in that light, those heroic deeds will stand out as much in 700 years as they do after 70. In an age of instant news and instantaneous judgment, it reminds us we should weigh our actions not by immediate acclaim but by the benefit for future generations.

These young men in the middle of this hell of fire and steel did not hesitate for a second. They move forward, move forward on French soil defying bullets and shells. They move forward risking their lives, to destroy a diabolical regime. They move forward to defend a noble course. They move forward, kept moving forward to free us to free us at last.
這些年輕的戰(zhàn)士們在熊熊戰(zhàn)火和敵人的鐵蹄下毫不猶豫,他們冒著槍林彈雨,奮勇向前,向法國土壤邁進。為了摧毀那個邪惡政權(quán),他們冒著生命危險前進。他們?yōu)榱烁哔F的事業(yè)向前邁進,他們一直前進,直到最終解放我們。

President Putin's spokesman said the two men had called for the earliest possible end to bloodshed and to military operations on both sides. Agreeing the terms could still be very hard, but the fact President Putin has all but accepted the legitimacy of Ukraine's new president by meeting him is seen by other leaders as highly significant.
普京總統(tǒng)的發(fā)言人稱兩人都呼吁盡快停止雙方血腥暴力的作戰(zhàn)行動。達成停戰(zhàn)協(xié)議可能依舊很困難,但普京總統(tǒng)對烏克蘭新總統(tǒng)的會見,幾乎算是承認了其合法性,這一點具有重大意義。
