On May 10,1775,a small band of American militiamen stunned the most powerful military in the world when they fearlessly wrestled Fort Ticonderoga from British control—delivering the first American offensive victory of the Revolutionary War and proving that the forces of liberty could triumph over the mightiest of empires.
1775年5月10日，一小队美国民兵毫无畏惧地从英国控制下夺取提康德罗加堡（Fort Ticonderoga），震惊了当时世界上最强大的军队——这不仅为美方取得独立战争中的首次主动进攻胜利，也证明了自由的力量能够战胜最强大的帝国。
After the outbreak of the Revolutionary War at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April,American forces urgently needed to strengthen their firepower to break the British grip on Boston and secure their position in New England.
4月，列克星敦和康科德战役（Battles of Lexington and Concord）爆发，独立战争由此打响。此后，美国军队迫切需要增强火力，以打破英国对波士顿（Boston）的控制，并巩固其在新英格兰（New England）的地位。
Answering the call to freedom,the legendary Green Mountain Boys—a militia from the New Hampshire Grants of present-day Vermont—set out on adaring mission to seize Fort Ticonderoga,a vulnerable British outpost in the Colony of New York that commanded avital waterway and held amassive arsenal of artillery and cannons.响应自由的召唤，传奇性的“绿山男孩”（Green Mountain Boys）
民兵开始执行一项大胆任务，准备夺取提康德罗加堡（Fort Ticonderoga）。这支民兵来自今日佛蒙特州（Vermont）一带、当时被称为“新罕布什尔赠地”（New Hampshire Grants）的地区。提康德罗加堡是纽约殖民地（Colony of New York）境内一处防御薄弱的英国前哨据点，扼守着一条重要水道，并储有大量火炮和军械。
In the early morning hours of May 10,this bold force of revolutionaries,under the joint command of the famed patriot Ethan Allen and the later treacherous Benedict Arnold,launched asurprise attack on the British garrison.
5月10日凌晨，这支果敢的革命者队伍在著名爱国者伊森・艾伦（Ethan Allen）和后来叛变的本尼迪克特・阿诺德（Benedict Arnold）共同指挥下，对英军驻军发动突袭。
Catching the Redcoats off guard as they slept,the patriots seized the fort without firing asingle shot,forcing the unprepared British soldiers to surrender with little resistance—marking the first major victory of the Revolutionary War.
（美国）爱国者趁“红衣军”（Redcoats）仍在熟睡、毫无防备之际，未发一枪便夺取了这座堡垒，迫使措手不及的英军士兵在几乎没有抵抗的情况下投降——这标志着独立战争中的首次重大胜利。
The capture of Fort Ticonderoga proved to be an early turning point in the American Revolution.
攻占提康德罗加堡，被证明是美国革命早期的一个转折点。
Colonial forces gained critical ammunition,cannons,and mortars,which Colonel Henry Knox famously hauled hundreds of miles across unforgiving terrain to Boston by January of 1776—empowering the Continental Army to force aBritish retreat and cementing New England as an American stronghold.
殖民地军队获得了关键的弹药、大炮和迫击炮。亨利・诺克斯上校（Colonel Henry Knox）后来穿越艰险地形，将这些武器长途运送数百英里，并于1776年1月前送达波士顿（Boston）——大陆军（Continental Army）也因此得以逼退英军，并进一步巩固新英格兰作为美国方面重要根据地的地位。
The courage,ingenuity,and resolve of the patriots who stormed Fort Ticonderoga defined the fighting spirit that would ultimately drive our Nation to victory and secure our long-awaited independence.
爱国者攻下提康德罗加堡时所展现的战斗精神，最终推动美国走向胜利，并保障了来之不易的独立。
On the 251st anniversary of the capture of Fort Ticonderoga,we honor the heroes who struck adecisive blow against British forces and earned their place in history as American legends.
在攻占提康德罗加堡251周年之际，我们向这些英雄致敬。他们给予英军决定性打击，并作为美国传奇被加载史册。
And as we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence,we recommit ourselves to preserving the liberty that they fought fearlessly to secure,and we pledge to ensure that the blessings of freedom remain the inheritance of generations to come.
在我们庆祝美国独立辉煌250周年之际，我们再次承诺维护他们无畏奋战所争取并守护的自由，并誓言确保自由的福祉继续成为后世子孙的传承。
