"最后的防线",1909年,源自一个1715年的形象,引自威廉·奥兰治(1650-1702)的一句话,据说他在1672年法国入侵期间振奋人心地说出这句话; 如果是这样,最初是在荷兰的背景下。
We have no space to enter into the detail of the heroic struggle maintained by the young stadtholder and his faithful Dutchmen; how they laid their country under water, and successfully kept the powerful invader at bay. Once the contest seemed utterly hopeless. William was advised to compromise the matter, and yield up Holland as the conquest of Louis XIV. "No," replied he; "I mean to die in the last ditch." A speech alone sufficient to render his memory immortal. [Agnes Strickland, "Lives of the Queens of England," London, 1847]
我们没有足够的空间来详细介绍年轻的州长和他忠诚的荷兰人所进行的英勇斗争; 他们如何将他们的国家淹没,并成功地将强大的入侵者拒之门外。有一次,比赛似乎完全没有希望。威廉被建议妥协这件事,并将荷兰让给路易十四。"不,"他回答道; "我打算死在最后的防线上。"这样一句话足以使他的记忆永存。[阿格尼丝·斯特里克兰,《英格兰女王的生活》,伦敦,1847年]
